After the match, Xie Wenneng as the Chinese midfielder doubted the quality of the naturalized Indonesian players who came from the Netherlands. Jay Idzes cs is considered to be of a quality that is not above that of real Chinese players.
“The naturalized players from the Indonesian National Team are only second class players in Asia, right? Our abilities are not inferior to theirs,” said Xie Wenneng, quoted from Dongqiudi.
In line with Xie Wenneng, Wei Shihao also feels he has more quality than the Indonesian players.
“Actually, we don’t think the Indonesian team is stronger. They only have a few naturalized players who play abroad. Their understanding is not as good as ours,” he stressed.
