Thai media reviews the depravity Indonesian National team so that it cannot shine and predict the future of the Garuda squad on the ASEAN and Asian stages.
The English-language media, Main Stand, mentioned politics as one of the factors that made it difficult for the Indonesian national team to advance. From time to time, football politics has always been a scourge of destruction.
In the last two decades, for example, there have been three major turbulences that have destroyed Indonesian football. The first is the dualism of federation and competition in 2011. Politicians undermine the stability of Indonesian football.

The excesses of the politicians’ struggles in football reached their peak in 2015. PSSI was finally sanctioned by FIFA for government intervention after the chaos since 2011 has not subsided.
Finally, it is called “pseudo awakening”. This term is used to describe the rise of the Indonesian national team in the era of Edy Rahmayadi with coach Luis Milla Aspas. It turns out that the revival in 2017 was false.
Now, PSSI and the Indonesian national team are said to be starting on the right track. The arrival of Shin Tae Yong is said to be one of the supporting factors. It is believed that this situation will continue to improve as long as politicians do not play.
The young generation of the Indonesian national team, called Gian Chansri Chawla, a football writer who is currently studying in London, England, is showing signs of shining on the Southeast Asian stage and does not rule out the possibility in Asia.
According to him, 2023 will be a turning point for the Indonesian national team. Apart from hosting the 2023 U-20 World Cup, the Garuda team also returned to appear in the 2023 Asian Cup finals after 16 years.
Another factor is that more and more young people are emerging with great potential. The appearance of Egy Maulana Vikri and Witan Sulaeman in Europe and Asnawi Mangkualam and Pratama Arhan in Asia, sparked great enthusiasm.
Now the younger generation of Indonesia seems to have a new benchmark. They have reference figures who are not only fierce in the country, but fighters in other parts of the world. Stories like this feed the younger generation.

If you continue on this path, it is believed that the AFF Cup title that has never been achieved can be grasped, even though Vietnam and Thailand are now having a golden generation that is no less flashy.
However, all of these hopes could bring back a ‘false awakening’ if politics revived in Indonesian football. Moreover, Indonesia will enter a political year starting in 2023, which means there are big challenges there.
