We have just received this note from Justin Lhaksana, who declared what follows in the text below about the Indonesian Futsal National team, with regards to the news we published some day ago: click here to read it.

We report below the text we received, without any changes. In addition you can read the official list of players who will travelo towards Vietnam to take part in the 7th AFC Championship.

"To the Futsalplanet staff,

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Justin Lhaksana, I am the head coach of Indonesian Futsal Team for the Asian Cup in Vietnam. I have also a Futsal Academy, the only one in Indonesia, plese view www.amfc.or.id.
After reading the article on the internet abut the preparation of Indonesian team, I just want to give you more information about it.

The only Indonesia Futsal team is the team that is going to Vietnam for the Asian Cup, this team was created by the Head of Futsal Department from the PSSI ( Indonesian Footbal Association ), Mr. Ronny Pangemanan.

Now you are wondering why there are 2 national teams then? The only reason is MONEY, the Association do not have any penny, our teams are financed by the manager. Our current manager does not have the money to send the teams to 2 different tournament. It means the Association must have another manager who can send the team to ASEAN Cup. Still is the questions why 2 national teams?

When the Association approached the Biangbola team (the teams that go to Bangkok) they want to take both tournaments, so they want to create their own team. But through the media pressure the Association finally let my team go to Vietnam, becouse this was created by the Futsal Department officially.

Biangbola is just a pro futsal team with lots of money, so they want to take over everything. In my teams was 4 players from Biangbola and their current Coach, Yudo Hadijanto, was my Goalkeeper coach. Until this trouble began they withdraw their players from my team. When started with the selection, they approached all of my players to play for their team, but none of them wants to play for the Biangbola national teams. I will bet you that this second grade national team will be whip out against Malaysia and Thailand. Our team represents the real Indonesian team and is also the strongest, though I have to miss 4 players from Biangbola.

So, for the Asian Cup in Vietnam, there will be total a different team and different technical staff then the current players that go to Bangkok. In that team is also 13 Biangbola players and 5 from other teams, but they don’t want to mention it in your website."
