NOBARTV NEWS STY gets appreciation, Shin Tae-yong gets appreciation for fielding young players in the 2024 AFF Cup. The appreciation came from a domestic football observer.
The Southeast Asian football event, the AFF Cup, will be held again. And as usual, the Garuda squad will again participate in the event. PSSI has also announced a list of players who have been called up a few days ago.
In the official PSSI release some time ago, Shin Tae-yong called 33 players. Interestingly, just like the previous AFF Cup edition (2022), this time STY also called many young players. In fact, it could be that the Garuda squad will be the players with the youngest average age among the other contestants.
Shin Tae-yong's call-up of young players has received responses from many parties. One of them came from Indonesian football observer Mohamad Kusnaeni.
"First, giving opportunities to talented local players who emerge in domestic competitions. This is the right event for maturation because breaking into the senior national team is now more difficult," said Kusnaeni as reported by Antara.
Furthermore, said the man who is often called Bung Kus, the call-up of young players could be a valuable event for them. The players get the chance to prove themselves and gain valuable experience from the event.
"The AFF Cup is the right event to give them valuable experience," he added.
"Second, domestic competitions can continue according to the agenda. Limited involvement of senior players makes League 1 clubs more relaxed in undergoing domestic competitions," continued Bung Kus.
"Lastly, this policy is also good to give a new color to the ASEAN Championship. The competition becomes more lively, no longer easy to predict, and the stars are not just the same players," he concluded.
