NOBARTV.CO.ID STY reveals reasons for wanting to study Language Indonesia, Shin Tae-yong expresses his desire to learn Indonesia Language. So, what is the reason behind the desire of the coach?
Shin Tae-yong has become Trainer national team Indonesia since the end of 2019. He was brought in by Mochamad Iriawan and still survives to this day. It has been decades competition and dozens of events that Shin Tae-yong has participated in. This means that there have been quite a lot of moments of togetherness between him and the National Team Player Indonesia.
But unfortunately, STY has received criticism because he cannot speak Indonesian. During his several years as an Indonesian coach, Shin was always accompanied by his translator. In training sessions, Press conference, or just interviews with media crew, the translator always accompanied him.
As a result, Shin received heavy criticism for this. He was considered reluctant. Learn a language Indonesia – even though through language, communication between him and the players will be better. Last February, Salah one observer Football Coach Justin threw out the criticism.
“And, that's a problem. In Indonesian National team, they speak the language South Korea, Dutch, Inggris, and Indonesia, which is not good,” said Justin.
"It's just a matter of intention. Intention or not. In fact, I can speak Dutch, English, and Jerman," he added.
Furthermore, Justin said at that time that Erick Thohir wants to extend contract Shin Tae-yong, then there must be a requirement for the coach to be willing to learn Indonesian.
“In fact, if I were to Erick Thohir (Chairman PSSI), if he wants to extend, he must learn Indonesian," he concluded.
Months later, Shin Tae-yong finally opened his voice regarding the criticism. He apologized because during his five years as an Indonesian coach, he could not speak Indonesian. But now, he promises to study. Shin's goal of learning Indonesian cannot be separated from the contract extension discourse that PSSI will give him. It is said that the new contract will last until 2027.
"I'm sorry I don't speak Indonesian, but in the future I have to learn Indonesian because I will still be in Indonesia until 2027," said Shin Tae-yong.
Previously, one of the members Exco PSSI Arya Sinulingga said that his party would soon negotiate with Shin Tae-yong regarding the coach's new contract. The contract extension, said Arya, coincides with the end of Erick's term as PSSI general chairman.
“We will negotiate on many things. KPI [Shin Tae Yong] achieved, that's something we appreciate, then going forward [the contract] until 2027. Remember, Mr. Erick as the general chairman (ketum) doesn't want to make contracts outside of his term of office," said Arya.
"Because the deadline is 2027, the STY contract also runs until 2027. Because we don't know, don't let the STY contract become a burden for the next chairman. "So, Mr. Erick doesn't want to create the next burden," he concluded.
