BEKASI – The Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, admitted that Egy Maulana Vikri had shown hard work that was worthy of appreciation and was therefore called back to the national team. Egy is included in the list of 24 players who will play for the Indonesian National Team against Turkmenistan in the FIFA Matchday match at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium on September 8 2023.
Previously, Egy was last called up to the Indonesian national team in March 2023 for the FIFA Matchday match against Burundi. However, he was unable to join the team because he was recovering from an injury.
After recovering from injury, Egy continued to show his quality in Liga 1 2023-2024. To date, he has played in 10 matches and scored two goals and provided two assists.
Shin Tae-yong explained that there was no special reason for calling Egy back to the Indonesian national team, but because he saw that Egy still had the potential and contribution that the national team needed.
“There is no special reason for calling Egy to the Indonesian National Team,” said Shin Tae-yong in Bekasi on Wednesday (30/8/2023).
The coach from South Korea added that Egy had fought hard to restore his good performance. Therefore, he felt that Egy deserved to be called back to the Indonesian national team.
“He has worked hard in the league and that is the reason why we called him back,” he added.
The senior Indonesian national team is scheduled to start training camp (TC) on September 4 2023 in preparation for the FIFA Matchday match.
