Deletion Oktovianus name Maniani, Eka Ramdani, and Arif Suyono from the list of Indonesia's senior national team players do for a while. Hippy Bob national team coordinator said, the three pulled into U-23 national team to do the preparation ahead of the upcoming implementation of the SEA Games XXVI.
"They were soon dropped because his team has begun preparations SEA Games. Those that I return to it again because the SEA Games is also very important because we've never been champion four times. So, they must be compact in there," he told Compass. com at Hotel Sahid Jaya, Friday (29/09/2011).
Bob denies the existence of other reasons for deletion of names Okto, Eka, and Arif. Solely, strikes a name from the list of senior national team because they have to focus practice in U-23 national team that will compete for the SEA Games which is expected to win the gold medal.
"Yeah. Everything is returned to it again so they are more compact, so they are stronger again. There is no other reasons," he said.
The third player's name is stricken from the name of the senior national team midfielder who will compete against Qatar, 11 October. Coach Wim Rijsbergen was not calling the new name as a replacement.
The old players, like Hariono, Ahmad Bustomi, Tony Sucipto, Word Utina, Muhammad Ridwan, and Muhammad Ilham, is to be maximized by the coach.
