Dean James shares story of his Indonesia national team debut

Go Ahead Eagles left-back Dean James shares his first experience with Indonesia national team after officially becoming an Indonesian citizen in early March, as reported by Bolasport.com.

The 24-year-old player — who received his first call-up to the Garuda squad — was immediately trusted as a starter when facing Australia at their home ground.

Dean James‘s debut with Indonesia national team unfortunately ended in a heavy 1-5 defeat to hosts Australia. In the next match against Bahrain — which Indonesia won 1-0 — the Go Ahead Eagles defender did not get playing time.
