The Future of Indonesia's Back Center in the UK |



The Garuda Select Volume II program from Indonesia has passed 10 games in UK, starting from October to the end of December 2019. From the whole series of matches, Dennis Wise and Des Walker's team won 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Of the total 23 players involved during the nine matches, it was noted that there was one of the names that recorded the most minutes of play among other players. He is Kakang Rudianto. This teenager who was born in Cimahi (Jawa Barat) in 2003 has almost never been replaced. Only twice had he been pulled out, namely when facing Oxford United and Burton Albion.

Kakang plays as a center defender. There is a story of emotion that accompanies his work in the Garuda Select II program. This story was told by Timo Scheunemann, a German trainer who became a technical translator in the Garuda Select program. According to Timo's story, Kakang had experienced confusion and awry when undergoing the first Sunday of training.

"As if whatever I did was wrong," Timo said, imitating Kakang's statement, as quoted from the programgarudaselect.com page. Timo believes that Kakang is not a bad player. His posture is quite high, which is 183 centimeters. Kakang is also considered to have quite promising capital, starting from the ability of soccer, to his ferocity in a duel. Timo even dares to predict that Kakang will become a tough center defender in the future. It could even play for the senior national team.

"The sky is the limit. However, when he arrived in England, Kakang felt like being hit by a train. Doing this wrong, doing it wrong," said Timo.




Timo said what Dennis Wise and Des Walker emphasized to Kakang was not wrong. Just as a coach should do when forming a new team, Wise and Walker focus on improving defense first. So, Kakang is in the spotlight. On the other hand, Garuda Select players still carry the very basic bad habits of Indonesian players. "When you are supposed to throw the ball, Kakang controls the ball so that it is very vulnerable to being taken by opponents in areas that are very favorable for the opponent," Timo said. Conversely, when supposed to build attacks from behind because there is space and time, Kakang instead gives feedback far.

Timo said that Wise had said why throw the ball in the middle of the field. Because, the Garuda Select players will definitely lose the duel with the opposing players because of losing posture. Therefore, Wise suggested that players throw the ball into the opponent's wing area. "We have to be smart, use our strengths. If the ball is thrown far to the wing, our winger and striker who have the speed have a much greater chance to control the ball," Timo said, imitating Wise's words.

Now, Kakang and his team-mates are starting to understand their bad habits. Kakang, who often commits violations unnecessarily, now has practiced how to survive 1 vs 1 according to the coach's direction. Each time the exercise was over, Kakang added his own training portion to Walker's direction. "Kakang has now adapted. His dizziness after being" hit by a train "has now gradually recovered. I am proud of him. As the captain he is very responsible for training costumes and others," Timo said.

"He is a fast learner, very coachable, it is clear he is using this golden opportunity. Joining Garuda Select, as well as possible. A difficult background, Kakang's father, who has been a driver for a year, is sick and unable to work, making his motivation even more motivated," Timo continued.

"You can, Kakang! Be proud of your parents. Be proud of Indonesia in the future. My prayers for your father to get well soon!" concluded Timo.[]
