LPI cold respond FIFA letter via PSSI

Indonesia Premier League party was a letter from FIFA to the PSSI does not need to be taken seriously. In fact, LPI is ready to meet with FIFA and PSSI.

PSSI received a letter from FIFA, which allows the imposition of sanctions against the Premier League Indonesia (LPI) and all its affiliated clubs, officials, the players, including representatives of the players involved in the activities of LPI.

LPI spokeswoman Abby Hasantoso in a conversation via phone with GOAL.com confirmed, it will not be ignored that letter, although it has been signed by FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke.

"First of all, the validity of the letter itself still needs to be questioned. Hard to believe that FIFA can quickly respond to the letter much for PSSI. PSSI Affairs FIFA not only, but throughout the world. PSSI who never bring accomplishments certainly can not be addressed quickly by FIFA," said Abi.

"While we have a relationship with FIFA. We are ready to meet FIFA and we have a lobby to FIFA that PSSI do not know. LPI made very serious, very professional with an international network as well, and we are also close to FIFA. Beda with PSSI is only close to certain FIFA officials.

"We're just now wants to meet with FIFA. We hope that FIFA could hear directly from our LPI, so more clearly. If the PSSI, they have clearly rejected us from the first. Even this afternoon, facilitated BOPI [Indonesian Professional Sports Agency], we was ready to meet, but PSSI the mind, "he continued.

"And the second, PSSI does not need to sanction the LPI, because we already under BOPI. So PSSI wrong address. The sanctions were also the wrong address, yet we are not under the authority of PSSI. So, there is no legal basis to do this PSSI.

"We've supported a strong team of lawyers. LPI will protect and defend all the players, coaches and referees and the match is already working for the LPI. We will send the legal defense team, and he is one of the best sports law expert in Indonesia."

In addition, Abby called PSSI should give priority to football industry as a result of the National Football Congress (KSN), which was held in Malang last year.
"LPI essentially from KSN. President, Menpora, KONI, and all who love football community support," he said.

Abi added, moved PSM, Persema and Persibo to LPI, including the determination and Kim Jeffrey Bachdim Irfan Kurniawan to survive in Persema, based on the need for professionalism in football can be realized.
"We could see the three clubs that left the league, using public money, and they realize that professional football can be constructed from the capital of entrepreneurs, not from cash budget [Local Government Budget and Expenditure]," he said.

"PSSI should forward the football industry as a result of the KSN. LPI essentially from KSN.
"In addition, the entire club LPI shall conduct coaching and competitions ranging from grassroots to U-23 age group, something that was never considered seriously by the PSSI."
