Not for long time ago, we Indonesian people get so enthusiastic to support our national team plays in final of AFF Tournament (ASEAN Football Federation) both in Malaysia and Indonesia. If I seen all the effort and the way they through all of the tournament before, I can say our national team is going better now. Many names are being well known in television and media. They hit the games! And yes we all love them, they play very well, adn bring the excitement into the games. Although we can't accept the trophy as the 1st winner, at least we all both the Indonesian player and supporter play fairplay and supportive. We still can't hide our pride to all of our players who have been played so well from beggining until the final tournament.
Two names who have been hit both in the media and all Indonesian people heart are Christian Gonzales and Irfan Bachdim. They are a few from many player that have a big contribution alongside to Firman Utina and friends. Both of Irfan and Gonzales are international player who are being naturalized to follow the national team. Irfan is from Netherlands and Gonzales from Uruguay. Their success in the national team makes many international player want to be naturalized and join the national team to play in Sea Games 2011 and Pre Olimpiade 2012. But, before their dream come true, they must compete to many other player from local and other international players. They must show best quality and skill to the national team coach Alfred Riedl who will select the U-23 team player.
One of the player is Syamsir Alam, an Indonesian player who go international with SAD team (Sociedad Anima Deportiva) to learn and have more experience in Uruguay. Now he is borrowed to play in Uruguay team. I think it's good to hear that many Indonesian player can make international carrier. I hope it will bring a fresh air to Indonesian football team in internasional league. Will these naturalized and local player being selected? We'll see.. I'm sure that the best of them are deserve to play and join the force of GARUDA TEAM.
