NOBARTV NEWS Klok said about STY, Shin Tae-yong is no longer the captain of the Indonesian National Team. He was fired and replaced by former Ajax Amsterdam player Patrick Kluivert. One of the Indonesian National Team players Marc Klok criticized after the dismissal.
Shin Tae-yong signed a new contract with the Indonesian National Team in the middle of last year. In the contract, STY was given a mandate until 2027. This means that there will be dozens of more matches that he will be responsible for with the Indonesian National Team. One of the most important is the 2026 World Cup Qualification.
This year, the Garuda squad has four important matches in the qualifying round. The Indonesian national team will play two away matches to Australia and Japan's headquarters and then host Bahrain and China. Meanwhile, for now, the Garuda squad is ranked third in the temporary standings of Group C of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in the Asian zone.
Unfortunately, ahead of the four important matches, Shin Tae-yong experienced bad luck. The contract he had just signed was unilaterally terminated by PSSI. As his replacement, PSSI appointed Dutch national team legend Patrick Kluivert.
However, this appointment has pros and cons. On the one hand, many supporters of the Indonesian National Team are disappointed because this decision was made suddenly. However, there are also many rumors that the condition of the Garuda squad's dressing room is not good. Therefore, stopping Shin Tae-yong is one of the right decisions made. It is said that there has been a dispute among the coaches - in this case Shin Tae-yong with several players of descent.
One of the descendant players who was once part of the Garuda squad spoke up. It was Marc Klok, the Persib Bandung player criticized his former boss. What did he say?
“He [STY] is really dictatorial and he feels above the team,” Klok said in a recent interview.
"The language barrier was a problem with the previous national coach [STY], which irritated many players. That's what caused friction," continued the former PSM Makassar player.
“I had a conflict with the previous national coach. If you try to discuss with him, your name can be crossed out. That's what made me leave.”
"He [STY] works in a pretty strict hierarchy and communication is done through a translator. That's a bit of a problem. A lot of Dutch players have joined and for them the hierarchy is very different," he concluded.
