Patrick was asked to be able to qualify the Garuda squad to the 2026 World Cup finals through the four remaining matches that Shin Tae-yong was originally going to complete.
However, Patrick Kluivert with all his experience was not immediately accepted by many people. Indonesian netizens to South Korean media apparently could not accept PSSI's unilateral decision. To the point, Korean media called Best Eleven called Shin Tae-yong's dismissal a betrayal.
“The End of a Dismissal and a Betrayal, the Story of the Last Three Months Tracking Shin Tae Yong on Location,” Best Eleven wrote in the title of its article.
"From this point, claims began to emerge that European coaches could handle naturalized players from Europe," wrote Best Eleven, responding to the chaos within the Garuda squad.
Previously, Shin Tae-yong was considered unable to accommodate naturalized players in his squad.
"Because of this, many local media have written articles about predictions for the new manager if Indonesia loses to Saudi Arabia."

"This is an absurd situation so it is understandable that coach Shin's son, who plays for Seongnam Shin Jae Won, voiced criticism on social media. If Indonesia is really hungry for the AFF Cup, they should not agree to Coach Shin's plan to bring U-22 players," the media concluded.
