TRAINER Indonesian National Team, Shin Tae-yong, has submitted four names of players of descent to be made Indonesian Citizens (WNI). They are Jordi Amat (KAS Eupen), Sandy Walsh (KV Mechelen), Kevin Diks (FC Copenhagen) and Mees Hilgers (FC Twente).
If the four names above immediately join, and can appear in the 2020 AFF Cup, what formation will Shin Tae-yong play? It is predicted that the coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, will still rely on his flagship formation, namely 4-2-3-1.

In this pattern, the position of goalkeeper is entrusted to Muhammad Riyandi. Then, four defenders in line filled with Asnawi Mangkualam, Jordi Amat, Meet Hilgers and Sandy Walsh.
Seeing the composition above is very unique. Because, the four lineage players that Shin Tae-yong is targeting are all playing as defenders. So, why is Kevin Diks not included in the row of defenders above?
Kevin Diks can later be used in other positions. Then for the double pivot midfielder position, Rachmat Irianto and Kevin Diks. For your information, Kevin Diks can perform as a right fullback, left, right midfielder, center to right winger.
Even in this season Kevin Diks has felt all the positions above. For the right winger position, he was dropped during FC Copenhagen’s 2-1 win over Paok Salonika in the 2021-2022 European Conference League. In that match, Kevin Diks packed two assists.
Then for the right winger position there is Egy Maulana Vikri and on the other side is filled with Irfan Jaya. For the second striker, Evan Dimas supports the single striker, Ezra Walian.
