Coach Patrick Clawybert has warned naturalized Dutch players that they cannot be guaranteed a starting position without competition.

It was a strict policy that even naturalized players with relatively better skills than authentic Indonesian players could not give up their place on the national team if they did not maintain their skills.

At a time when Indonesia is looking to advance to the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup finals after virtually confirming its advance to the fourth qualifying round in Asia, local media analyzed that Coach Clawiburt gave an ultimatum to naturalized players.

Indonesian media 'Voice of Indonesia (VOI)' said on the 9th (Korea time), "Indonesia national team coach Patrick Clawybert gave an ultimatum to naturalized players to maintain their skills," adding, "Coach Clawybert said that players selected for the national team cannot always be guaranteed time to play."
"Claubert said he selected players based on their ability and not bloodline for his decision in the match against China. Also, as a striker from the Netherlands, he tried not to give naturalized players a chance to play," the Dutch coach said.

"It all depends on the capabilities of the players. I give Indonesian players a chance if they are qualified," the coach said after winning 1-0 at home in the ninth Group C match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA U.S.-China World Cup, according to VOI. "I want to see all the players from the beginning as the coach of the Indonesian national team. I have deep respect for the Indonesian players."
"I will give you a chance if you show your skills. If Indonesian players are combined with foreign players, the team will become stronger," he said. "There is no guarantee that naturalized players will be able to participate all the time. We have to compete with local players as well," he said. "The Indonesian team will thoroughly select key players based on their skills."

In fact, Coach Clawybert started Rizki Lido, Jakob Sayuri, Ricky Kambuaya and Eggy Maulana against China, and was open to using Indonesian players in his own way by sending out Beckham Putra Nugraha and Ramadan Sananta as substitutes.
According to the "VOI," Clawybert decided to exclude Jordi Amat, a naturalized Spanish player and defender who played with Swansea City along with Ki Sung-yueng, from the training list, which was convened ahead of the two consecutive qualifiers. Local media believe that Clawybert distinguishes players by their skills, not their origin.

Indonesia is cruising in its own way under coach Clawybert, who is running the national team with a thorough "skill system" in defiance of expectations that he will appoint Dutch players.

Indonesia has secured at least the fourth place in Group C to qualify for the fourth preliminary round. Also called the playoff group stage, the fourth preliminary round will be held in which six countries ranking third to fourth in each group will gather to divide into two groups and play a full league (two matches) in a neutral zone. The first place in each group will advance to the finals, and the second place will go to the fifth preliminary round, which is an intercontinental playoff. 토토사이트
