The Indonesian national soccer team will go all-in for the final two consecutive rounds of the third Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup to be held in June. The team will start early training by selecting the largest number of naturalized players ever. China, which will face off in June, has expressed great caution against Indonesia's offensive.

"Indonesia is set to train with a phenomenal lineup of 19 naturalized players," said Sohu, a Chinese portal site. "The Chinese national team is facing a serious threat in the life-or-death battle."

The Indonesian Football Association announced 32 preliminary members of the national soccer team on the 18th and announced that they will begin special training in Bali, a famous vacation spot, from the 26th.

The Indonesian Football Association replaced former coach Shin Tae-yong in January and appointed coach Patrick Clawybert. After losing 1-5 to Australia in the third qualifying round for the North-China World Cup held in March, it revived by beating Bahrain 1-0. Indonesia is currently ranked fourth in the group with two wins, three draws and three losses (nine points) in Group C of the third qualifying round in Asia. It is not easy to turn the tables in the remaining two games due to the gap with Australia (13 points), which is ranking second in the finals, but it will maintain at least fourth place to keep its lead to the playoffs.

Indonesia will face China (5th, home) and Japan (10th, away from home) in the final two consecutive games in June. China (6 points), the lowest in Group C, was also wary of the news that Indonesia would select as many as 19 naturalized players for early training at a time when it was seeking to enter fourth place.
"The biggest highlight of the Indonesian roster is that 19 naturalized players make up the majority of its members," Sohu said. Among them, many have played in the five major leagues in Europe. Not a few are highly regarded both at home and abroad. "The Indonesian national team's naturalized players and strong membership make it even more difficult for the Chinese team to prepare," Sohu said. "This will be a rigorous challenge for the Chinese team. We can achieve a precious victory when we make careful preparation and efforts." 바카라
