On April 25, Beijing time, Southeast Asian media news, Indonesia Bandung defender Marc Klok was selected for the new U23 team roster of Shen Tailong, and he may become one of three overage players to participate in this year's East Games in Vietnam.
In addition, England Ipswich defender Elkan Baggott has already played for Indonesia. If the two defenders of about 190cm tall, Elkan and Crocker, are the future center-back combination of the Indonesian team, the next World Cup national football team meets the Indonesian team, it may not be able to get a bargain.
Since the naturalization of Lippi's Li Ke and Axon, the whole of Asia has entered a new "naturalization era". Among them, Southeast Asian teams are the most active.
Vietnam's German-born midfielder Adriano Schmidt and Russian-born Deng Wenlin (Duntov) have appeared in the World Preliminaries, Thailand's large number of U23 naturalized players have performed well in the U23 Asian Cup, and the Philippines has always used the good children of "foreign dads".
And the Indonesian team also showed their home base. In addition to a group of mixed-race players, Crocker, who has played in the Indonesian league for more than 5 years, is the most eye-catching.
This month, Crocker has been playing in the Indonesian league for 5 years, and the situation is the same as Alain and Axon. According to the AFC regulations, he is already qualified to play for the Indonesian national team. His debut is likely to be at the East Games (Southeast Asian Games, football is played by U23 players, similar to the Asian Games).
Crocker is 189 cm tall and was born in the Netherlands. He has played in the Indonesian league finals Bandung, Makassar and Jakarta and is well acquainted with many players.
The tall defender was born in 1993 and is 1 year older than Jiang Guang. In addition to defenders, Crocker has played as a defender in the league several times.
In addition, Elkan in 2001 was the star of hope for the Indonesian team, he was born in Bangkok, his father is British, and his mother is Indonesian. However, League One side Ipswich refused to allow Elkan to participate in the Eastern Games. And the young man, who is 1.94 meters, is likely to be Crocker's partner.
To be on the safe side, Shentai Dragon recruited four overage players, including 29-year-old Crocker. If the Indonesian team can make a breakthrough at the Eastern Games, this team is likely to appear at the Asian Games. Jiang Guangtai of the national football team did not enter The Big List of Jankovic.
Many years ago, we looked down on the Indonesian team because the opponents were not tall enough and the foot skills were very average.
But Indonesia, with a population of 300 million, doesn't want to be at the bottom of Asia all the time. But when fans shouted the slogan that it was better to watch the Indonesian team play than to buy rice (2020), they made a huge change.
In addition to a large number of European-born mixed-race players joining, the Indonesian Football Association also imitated the Chinese Football Association and naturalized outstanding players who had been playing in China for a long time, and Crocker was the first among them.
While Guo Tianyu was still worried about his first European goal, Indonesian player Suleiman, who was 2 years younger than Guo Tianyu, had scored two league goals in Slovak Premier League side Senica.
A year ago, the youngster sat on the cold bench in The Cypriot side Sudunica. In order to get a chance to play, he took the initiative to ask the team to transfer him, and the result was successful.
Most of these players will become the main force of indonesia's impact on the 2026 World Cup. When the national football team encounters them, it really does not necessarily have the certainty of victory.
