The issue of over-dependence on naturalised people was highlighted at the recent , ASEAN Championship, when Indonesia were eliminated in the team level.
Some naturalized players were not released by their Western venues because the event was not on FIFA’s timeline. Indonesia opted to send a squad of almost all under-22 players, with the only , naturalised footballer being Brisbane Roar ‘s , Rafael Struick.
The team failed to advance to the knockout rounds after losses against Vietnam (0-1 ) and the Philippines (0-1 ), a 3-3 draw against Laos, and a 1-0 win over Myanmar.  ,
” It showed that Indonesia’s local people have a lot of catching up to complete and this is something which PSSI needs to address”, said Kesit, the critic.
In the end, Indonesia will have to decide what will happen if or when their pool of potential participants in the Netherlands runs out, according to Williams.
Because the imperial ties between the nations ended a long time ago, he said,” that generation of people that have links to the Netherlands through parents or grandparents is going to weaken.”
This is likely to be one of the previous generations of talents to truly have that link.
Youth growth has run opposite to naturalisation, stressed those who CNA spoke to.
” You also need to keep ensuring that you are still committing resources to developing native talent as well, because that is what viewers are drawn to,” Williams continued.
” Followers resonate with neighborhood heroes, and institutions and governments need to be aware of that… The whole idea behind it is inspiring the next generation, but if there’s a disconnect and you’re not inspiring native people, therefore it’s going to create problems for future generations as well”.
Enthusiasts have more of a relationship with people who have grown up with them or have experienced the exact difficulties, and who are now playing for them, according to sports journalist Rai.
” To me, there is a lot more satisfaction, a lot more satisfaction in that feel”.
The father of a younger person who was captained by Indonesia, speaking to CNA, said his child was looking forward to the problem of facing foreign-born players.
The person, who did not like his brother and himself to be named, said,” If you are able to contend with all these people, then you know that you are good enough to play at a higher level.”
” These naturalized players come from colleges and venues with respectable names in Europe. ( My son ) feels that there’s always something to learn from them”.
The guy said he was supportive of Indonesia’s latest approach to naturalisation, given that the people however have ties to the region.
He did acknowledge that it might make it harder for young people to make it to the regional staff.
