He is poised to set up the best 11 players only as a naturalized player. Since the dismissal of Shin Tae-yong (55), the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) is continuing drastic moves.
Chinese media Sohu Dotcom reported on the 22nd (Korea time), "It is unlikely to end forever. Indonesia, which is preparing for the third qualifying round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and China, will naturalize three more English Championship (second division) players."
China, which is on the verge of being eliminated by ranking the lowest with two wins and six losses in the third round, will play against Indonesia in the ninth round. China's "Sina Sports" and others believe that China's victory in the match against Indonesia is China's hope to advance to the Asian and intercontinental playoffs at the World Cup.
However, it will not be easy for China to counterattack. Under the leadership of Patrick Kluibert (49), Indonesia is aggressively strengthening its players. According to the Indonesian media "Oke Zone," Kluibert and PSSI officials met with Pascal Strouk (26, Leeds United) in person and persuaded him to naturalize as a citizen of Indonesia.
Furthermore, Kluivert and the two coaches are reportedly targeting another naturalized player for their visit to the U.K. Million Manov (Stoke City) and Jensen Hilt (Sunderland AFC) are also eligible for naturalization. Manov is a wing forward who has scored five goals and four assists in 33 matches of the 2024-2025 season as a key attacking resource for Stoke. Hilt is a 192cm tall center back and is a promising Sunderland player. 바카라사이트
All three Indonesian players are born in the Netherlands. "Indonesia is crazy," Sohu said. "Indonesia is going to have three players naturalized at the same time before the third qualifying match for the North China-U.S. World Cup. The speed would have been unprecedented for the entire soccer community."
"If Straweke, Manov and Hilt are naturalized, the value of the Indonesian team will increase by more than 20 million euros," the media said. "The Chinese national team will fight against Indonesia in June. If China loses the match, it will be eliminated from the North-China World Cup."
The PSSI suddenly sacked Shin Tae-yong in early January. Indonesia under Shin Tae-yong's leadership lost its captain even after advancing to the third qualifying round for the first time in the history of the World Cup. Shin, who had coached the Indonesian team for five years, was given an absurd notice of dismissal overnight. PSSI Chairman Eric Tohir quickly appointed Patrick Kluibert as the successor of Shin.
Meanwhile, Shin Tae-yong, who returned to Korea, was appointed as a part-time general manager of Seongnam FC. Despite PSSI's unilateral dismissal, he showed affection for the Indonesian national team, causing a stir in Southeast Asia including Vietnam.
