JAKARTA - No player with negative behavior has the right to wear a uniform with Garuda on the chest. This sentence was emphasized by the Secretary General of PSSI Yunus Nusi in response to the repatriation of defender Nurhidayat Haji Haris from Dubai to Indonesia for taking disciplinary actions.

As it turned out, it was not only Nurhidayat who was sent home by Shin Tae-yong for disciplinary actions. Since the man from South Korea took the task as head coach of the Indonesian national team, there have been 4 players who have become 'victims' of the racik's assertiveness. Who are they?

Nurhidayat Haji Haris

First, of course, Nurhidayat Haji Haris. The name of the Indonesian national team defender was widely discussed after being sent home from Dubai for being disciplinary. However, neither PSSI nor the national team's coaching staff explained in detail what disciplinary violations were committed by the 22-year-old footballer.

Launching bola.com, Thursday, June 3, there were many disciplinary actions taken by Nurhidayat. One of them is related to food intake.

Assistant coach Nova Arianto revealed that Nurhidayat's disobedience to the national team's coaching staff was carried out openly. He was reluctant to eat foods that contain too much protein when eating together with his colleagues.

Serdy Ephy Fano

Then, there is the name Serdy Ephy Fano. The U-19 national team coach Shin Tae-yong sent Serdy home from the training camp (TC) in Jakarta on November 23 last year because he was considered disciplinary.

According to Nova Arianto, Serdy made mistakes many times. He was late for training, did not weigh in the morning and only returned to the hotel at around 03.00 WIB.

For Serdy, this is Shin Tae-yong's second deletion. Previously, ahead of his departure to Croatia at the end of August 2020, the striker was kicked out of the team because he was late for training.

Mochamad Yudha Febrian

Just like Serdy, Mochamad Yudha Febrian who participated in the TC of the U-19 national team in Croatia was also sent home due to disciplinary action.

The problem didn't even end there because in early December, a video showing Serdhy and Yudha at a nightclub spread through the internet.

PSSI strongly suspects that the video was recorded on Sunday, November 22 night. The two players, based on CCTV footage, only returned to the hotel on Monday the next day at 02.30 WIB.

For Yudha, this return is a first experience. The left-back, who has played for the U-16 national team, the U-19 national team and the Garuda Select team in England was previously cleared of disciplinary violations.

Entering the month of May 2021, the name Yudha Febrian is again a byword. His actions outside the field again tarnish the good name of national football. This player is suspected of sexually assaulting a woman.

Ahmad Afhridrizal

Like Serdy and Yudha, Ahmad Afhridrizal was also dropped from the Indonesian U-19 national team squad due to being late for morning training.

Ahmad Afhridrizal could not arrive on time when the Indonesian U-19 national team held a practice at the Madya Stadium, Senayan, Central Jakarta on August 29 last. He came 10 minutes late.

He admitted, that morning the player from Vamos Indonesia had woken up and performed the dawn prayer. It's just that because he was tired he finally fell asleep and was woken up by a call from a team official.

Besides the four players above, who else will be the victim of Shin Tae-yong? Hopefully there will be no more Indonesian national team players who take disciplinary action and are able to appreciate the Garuda symbol on their chest.
