Emmanuel Petit, former French footballer and World Cup winner, has shown his support for Patrick Kluivert in his new role as the head coach of the Indonesian national team. In a recent interview, Petit expressed his confidence in Kluivert’s ability to lead the team to success, despite the challenges that lie ahead.
“I know the pressure and expectations that come with coaching a national team, especially in a country like Indonesia where football is so deeply ingrained in the culture. But I believe that Patrick has the experience and knowledge to handle the responsibility,” said Petit.
Kluivert, a former Dutch international and Barcelona striker, was appointed as the head coach of the Indonesian national team in September 2021. His appointment was met with excitement and optimism from fans and football pundits alike, as he brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success to the role.
Petit, who played alongside Kluivert at Barcelona during the 2000-2001 season, praised his former teammate’s leadership qualities and tactical acumen. “Patrick is a natural leader and has a deep understanding of the game. I have no doubt that he will be able to inspire and motivate the players to perform at their best,” he said.
While Petit acknowledged the challenges that Kluivert will face in his new role, he also expressed his belief that the Indonesian national team has the potential to achieve great things under his guidance. “It will not be easy, but with hard work, dedication, and the support of the fans, I am confident that Patrick can lead Indonesia to success on the international stage,” he said.
Petit’s words of encouragement and support will undoubtedly boost Kluivert’s confidence as he embarks on this new chapter in his coaching career. With the backing of a football legend like Emmanuel Petit, there is no doubt that Kluivert will be able to rise to the challenge and lead the Indonesian national team to glory.
