Perspectives on the focus of achievement are the difference between coaches Indonesian National team, Shin Tae Yong, with one member of the executive committee (exco) PSSI, Haruna Soemitro.
Haruna stated that Shin was offended in the evaluation meeting discussing the Indonesian national team in the 2020 AFF Cup. According to Haruna, Shin was not happy with the response of the PSSI executive committee which compared him to other coaches who failed to bring the Garuda squad to emerge as champions of the AFF Cup.
“To be offended can be said like this, Indonesia is if only runner-up It is common. ‘Before you that [Indonesia] it’s been five times runner-up‘. Yes, the presence or absence of Shin Tae Yong is our highest achievement runner-up” said Haruna.
“If the achievement is only runner-up yeah what’s the difference with yesterday [pelatih sebelumnya], “he continued to CNNIndonesia.com.
Achievements become Haruna’s starting point in evaluating Shin. This is different from the view of the former South Korean coach.
Shin once expressed a desire to change the Indonesian football system so that it does not focus on achievement alone. In an interview with a Korean media last year, Shin explained that he prioritized programs for young players.
“Actually I went to Indonesia to change the football system. Instead of focusing too much on achievement. I think the roots must be strong, so that the top is also strong,” said Shin Tae Yong in an interview uploaded on the YouTube channel. Masters.
“You can’t just impose your senior achievements on the coach. Before I came in, Indonesia was the team with the oldest average player in Southeast Asia. But now in my hands the average is 21.5 years. The senior team is on average 21, 5 years. I really signed young players,” he continued.
Realizing that he would not be in Indonesia forever, Shin chose to develop young players for the continuation of team regeneration.
“Because I’m not someone who will stay there forever. After all I have to forge young players and change the system. I tried to make a team with that in mind,” said Shin.
