SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Kehadiran Calvin Verdonk diharapkan Menteri Pemuda dan Olahraga (Menpora) Dito Ariotedjo bisa memperkuat skuad Garuda dalam meraih peluang putaran ketiga Kualifkasi Piala Dunia 2026 saat melawan Filipina pada 11 Juni mendatang.
“Nanti perdana juga ya, di Filipina ada Calvin. Semoga itu menambah semangat juga, tapi team work itu yang terpenting," kata Dito Ariotedjo usai menyaksikan laga Indonesia vs Irak di Stadion Utama GBK Senayan, Jakarta, Kamis malam.
Ia mengatakan bahwa peluang Indonesia untuk tembus ke putaran ketiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2024 harus ditentukan lewat pertandingan terakhir melawan Filipina.
Selain itu, Dito juga melihat persiapan PSSI lewat pelatih Shin Tae-yong dalam meraih peluang tersebut sudah berjalan maksimal.
Usai menyaksikan laga Indonesia vs Irak, Dito menilai penampilan Asnawi dkk. tampil layaknya tim sepak bola yang menduduki peringkat 50 dunia.
"Yang pastinya tadi kita melihat bagaimana permainan, saya lihat kualitas permainan kita itu kayak peringkat 50-60," ujarnya.
Dito pun optimis skuad Garuda bisa tampil optimal saat melawan Filipina nanti.
