Prospective National Team Striker Can't Wait to Play Maarten Paes, Believes Indonesia Will Qualify for the World Cup
HOLIDAY NEWS - Mauro Zijlstra is a hereditary player who is a potential striker for the Indonesian National Team.
Currently, PSSI is taking care of Mauro Zijlstra to immediately join Maarten Paes cs to defend the Indonesian National Team in the third round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications in the Asia zone.
Previously, there were Mees Hilgers and Eliano Reijnders who were projected to be immediately available for the national team.
It is hoped that the two players will debut in October.
The reason is, Indonesia will visit the headquarters of Bahrain and China in the third round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications in the Asia Zone.
Mauro Zijlstra highlighted the two big names who will play for the Indonesian national team.
According to him, Mees is the right choice to fill the midfield of the Garuda squad.
His experience with FC Twente is certainly very valuable for them.
"Especially Hilgers is a top class addition to the (Indonesia) squad I think."
"He started every game at FC Twente and also scored in the Champions League Qualifier against Salzburg with a header."
"He is a great addition to the Indonesian squad," said Mauro Zijlstra as reported by BolaSport.com from the VoetbalPrimeur YouTube channel.
Mees' presence will provide a positive spotlight for the Garuda squad.
He considered that this was good enough for Indonesia to be increasingly taken into account.
"When you are in Indonesia, you see what kind of madness it brings."
"Especially in the media, everything exploded when Hilgers came," he continued.
Regarding Indonesia's chances of going to the World Cup, this Volendam U-21 player is quite optimistic.
With the presence of several new names, the composition of the Indonesian national team will get better.
Moreover, they faced quite well in the previous two matches against Saudi Arabia and Australia.
"I think so (qualifying for the World Cup), more and more new names are joining and players from the Netherlands are also making an impact on this team."
"You saw it with the results, 0-0 against Australia and Saudi Arabia 1-1."
"We saw Saudi Arabia at the 2022 World Cup playing very well and now Indonesia drew 1-1 against them."
"The future is bright, I'm sure of that," he said.
