The Indonesian Football Association has launched a campaign to uplift Coach Patrick Kluybert. Erik Tohir, chairman of the Indonesian Football Association, is highly encouraged by Indonesia's significant rise in the FIFA rankings. However, critics say that it was based on the fact that former coach Shin Tae-yong elevated his ranking by nearly 50 notches during his tenure.
Indonesia ranked 123rd in the latest FIFA rankings announced on Thursday. It has jumped four notches from 127th.
"Indonesia has been ranked the highest for the past 15 years," CNN Indonesia reported on Sunday. Indonesia lost to Australia 1-5 in the second consecutive Asian qualifying round for the North China-U.S. World Cup in March, but lost to Bahrain 1-0 at home. As the team beat Bahrain, which is ranked higher than Indonesia, it added a lot of ranking points, jumping four notches.
President of the Indonesian Football Association, Tohir, did not hide his joy at the 123rd place. He posted on social media, "With the victory over Bahrain in the preliminary round of the Asian regional World Cup, Indonesia's FIFA ranking has risen four notches to 123rd place. This is the highest ranking Indonesia has recorded in the FIFA rankings over the past 15 years. We will continue to work hard to get Indonesia into the top 100 in the world."
He added, "The addition of FIFA ranking points will be good momentum, and we hope it will be maintained until June (when the final two consecutive Asian qualifiers will be held)."
It seems that President Tohir is trying to float the new Kluwebert coach. He received a lot of criticism in January when Kluwebert, who suddenly replaced former coach Shin Tae-yong and brought him in, suffered a crushing defeat of 1-5 in his debut match against Australia. He took a breather for now as he managed to beat Bahrain at home in a crisis situation. As the FIFA ranking rose four notches due to the victory against Bahrain, he showed off his national team's performance and expressed his wish to enter the top 100. 바카라
Some point out that former coach Shin Tae-yong's performance should not be forgotten when President Tohir seems to praise himself with his strength on the coach of Kluwebert. An Indonesian soccer fan pointed out on social media that "It is thanks to Shin Tae-yong's five-year coaching and enhancing the national team's competitiveness." In fact, when former coach Shin took office, Indonesia's FIFA ranking was 173rd, but it rose to 125th in five years. Without the guidance of former coach Shin Tae-yong, Indonesia's current location was impossible.
