PSSI not prioritize naturalized players

PSSI executive committee member of national team field coordinator Bob Hippy asserted, the parent organization's national soccer player does not make naturalization as a priority.

Currently, Ruben and Diego Michiels Wuarbunaran already in Indonesia. In the near future, this crossbreed of both players get their passports. Ruben and Diego join the Pelita Jaya. Likewise with Jhon van Beukering who are undergoing training with Pelita Jaya, and will be naturalized. "Naturalization is not my current priority. I want to build a team from the existing material. The player who has been naturalized can certainly play for the national team. But they must follow a predefined selection, "said Bob quoted from a source close to GOAL.com Indonesia.

Meanwhile, Sergio van Dijk, Greg Nwokolo, Victor Igbonefo, Stefano Lilipaly and Tonny Cuessel rumored to be getting a passport by the end of this month.

"If he was naturalized, and he showed good performance, then we will put him into the national team. But once again, must go through the selection. But if he joins, it will be difficult, because he had never practiced together, "Bob said about Sergio.

"I was with three players who have undergone the process of naturalization. Did he [Sergio] entry in the list, I do not know. But our priority is the young players. "
