Riedl swings the axe
Under the new regime of the Indonesian national team it seems reputations will count for little. Persipura pair Boaz Solossa and Ian Luis Kabes have been dropped from the national team trials after failing to turn up for training this week.
Boaz especially has a record of missing events like this but in the past people have been lenient with him, accommodating his special talent, but Rieldl has put his foot down from day one, showing whose boss.
That old adage of no one player being bigger than the team. Unfortunately in Indonesia there are some players who think that doesn't apply to them and some coaches encourage that sentiment.
