But, observers noted that more focus needs to be placed on the local development of the sport.
According to Mr. Bernhard Schumm, a former manager of the Indian national team,” we are too preoccupied with winning the championship game without realizing that you cannot begin with the roof, you have to start from the foundations.”
” Long-term thinking, which is constantly occurring in every European football’s best countries frequently, is not occurring here.” What we need to begin now is what we want in ten centuries.
THE Native Field IS BOOSTING
Venues like Persija Jakarta, which competes in Liga 1, the major professional football league in Indonesia, are setting the standard for the development of young talent through football schools.
A sport school is what we have. According to the club’s president director Ambono Janurianto, the lowest( entry ) level is at a young age from primary school, then junior and senior high school and beyond.
We have the club after that. All of these are intended to help the players advance to the key team and develop into top players. This may help sport develop and change in Indonesia much more effectively.
