From 2020 Shin Tae Yong already presented many names of descendant players to defend Indonesian national. Evidently three of them shone in the European elite competition.
Shin presented a number of names at PSSI so that the Indonesian national team could advance in the classroom. According to the South Korean manager, the current Indonesian players are not enough to form a strong team.
If PSSI’s hope is to compete with other established countries, such as Iran, Japan, South Korea and Australia, Indonesia must seek role models. Role models are considered to be hereditary in players.

Here are three descendant players Shin targeted for the national team, but failed because the player in question refused.
Jayden Oosterwolde
The player with a Dutch passport was required by Shin in 2020, when he was still 18 years old. At that time, Oosterwolde was defending the highest caste club in the Dutch league, Twente FC. Although he is still young, Oosterwolde appears regularly.
This season the Oosterwolde defended the second caste club in the Italian league, AC Parma. On Sunday (16/10) the 21-year-old scored his first goal in Italy. Oosterwolde is growing and has the potential to be proposed by a Serie A club.
Tijjani Reijnders
The name Tijjani Reijnders entered Shin’s interest list in early 2022. At that time, the Dutch passport player was loaned by Alkmaar Zaanstreek (AZ) to RKC Waalwijk. So far Tijjani still plays in the Dutch league.
Earlier this season, Tijjani’s performance was quite showy. He appeared 10 times and contributed one goal and two assists. This makes him one of the midfielders whose performance is considered to be on the rise.
Mees Hilgers
The Hilgers currently defend FC Twente. This defender has become one of the players with fascinating stats. That’s why Hilgers is on the list of players called up for the Netherlands Under 21 retirement.
Hilgers has appeared nine times in the Eredivisie this season. As for the possibility of defending the Indonesian national team, Hilger said there was still a chance. At this time he has not confirmed why he is still relatively young.
