3 U19 Indonesia players will shine under Shin Tae-yong’s reign

Earlier, Shin Tae-yong had announced the list of the players he had called to join the training camp. It is planned that the training camp will be held from July 23 to August 8 at Madya Stadium, Senayan, Jakarta.

46 names have been summoned to the Indonesia U19 ahead of the U-19 Asian Cup which will take place in Uzbekistan on October 14-31. Of the 46 names, of course there are a number of stars that are expected to shine.

Under the instruction of Shin Tae-yong, the successful coach making South Korea defeat the world champion, Germany, should make their young players develop. Especially the following 3 Indonesian national team U-19 stars who will shine under the tutelage of Shin Tae-yong.

Elkan Baggott

First, of course there is Elkan Baggott, 16, born in Thailand. He has a British father and an Indonesian mother. Currently, Elkan Baggott is playing as a central defender.

With advantagous height, it is clear that Elkan Baggott's presence can make the Indonesian national team's defense stronger against the arial ball. Not only that, Elkan Baggott is also referred to as a player with physical and mental ability.

"Elkan has a good physique. He is calm in possession but is not afraid to defend the area when needed. Strong and dynamic, he develops all the time as a defender, " said Adam Atey, coach of Ipswich Town U-18.

Mochammad Supriadi

Furthermore, there is Mochammad Supriadi, who is a prodigy of the Indonesian National Team U-19. Supriadi is very fast and agile, so often troublesome opponent's defense.

The title of AFF U-16 2018 Cup is proof that Supriadi is one of the most promising players of the Indonesian national team in the future. Even Supriadi has also made appearance in sensational victory of the Indonesia U-16 national team over Iran in the Asian Cup.

Now under the direction of Shin Tae-yong, Supriadi should be able to develop again to cover up his weaknesses. Coincidentally, Shin Tae-yong relies heavily on physical, so Supriadi can experience significant development.

Witan Sulaeman

Finally, Witan Sulaeman is currently playing for FK Radnik Surdulica. He was very young, but Witan Sulaeman had already made his European debut with the Serbian club.

Of course it is a sign that Witan Sulaeman is one of the best gems owned by the Indonesian National Team U-19. Unfortunately according to FK Radnik Surdulica's coach, Simo Krunic, Witan Sulaeman's weakness lies in his physicality.

Therefore, Simo Krunic also specifically asked Witan Sulaeman to increase his muscle mass. Together with Shin Tae-yong who wants the Indonesian U-19 national team to play physically strong, Witan Sulaeman can correct his biggest weakness.
