Takeaways

• 😀 Naturalization is seen as an instant solution for football teams, but it should be viewed as one of many tools in a comprehensive strategy.
• 😀 The concept of utilizing diaspora players is common in international football, with countries like Spain and Italy benefiting from players born outside their borders.
• 😀 Indonesia has 9 million diaspora citizens spread across over 90 countries, and many countries use diaspora players to strengthen their national teams.

• 😀 A football team's performance is a result of teamwork, which includes not only players but also coaches and management, making it unfair to blame only naturalized players or the coach for failures.
• 😀 The current focus on naturalization in Indonesia’s football discussions distracts from a more analytical approach to improving the national team, such as discussing tactics and data analysis.
• 😀 It is important to evaluate a football team's performance based on the entire season or campaign, not just isolated games, to understand the overall effectiveness of naturalization and coaching.
• 😀 The process of naturalization should be seen as a step towards finalizing a player’s status, not as a final product in itself. A naturalized player becomes a national player once they receive their citizenship.
• 😀 Football discussions in Indonesia should focus more on technical aspects, such as player statistics, tactics, and coaching methods, rather than being divided by the controversy of naturalization.
