The Indonesian team suffered a bitter defeat at the AFF Cup 2024. The team from the archipelago lost 0-1 to the Philippines in the final match and lost the ticket to the semi-finals of the tournament. From coach Shin Tae-yong to key players such as Asnawi Mangkualam, Marselino Ferdinan and especially Muhammad Ferrari received a wave of fierce criticism from Indonesian fans.
" The Indonesian coaching staff seemed too eager to beat the Philippines even though they didn't need to win to reach the semi-finals. This was shown when coach Shin Tae-yong didn't replace any defenders even though Muhammad Ferrari received a red card in the first half. It would have been easier to draw with the Philippines by adding more defenders, but Shin didn't do that ," football expert Mohamad Kusnaeni analyzed.
Muhammad Ferrari received a red card.
At the 2024 AFF Cup, Indonesia only used a young squad, with only a few players with experience playing for the national team. However, it was the key players who caused the biggest disappointment. Among them, Marselino Ferdinan and Muhammad Ferrari received 2 red cards in 2 home matches.
" The emotional immaturity of some players hurt Indonesia. Muhammad Ferrari's red card had a big impact, and the team eventually lost.
Ironically, the Indonesian players who could not control their emotions were key players with experience playing for the national team. They were the pillars of the team, so they played a supporting role for the young players who were making their debut for the national team," said this expert .
The loss of a man at the end of the first half did not change the game on the pitch. Even with a full squad, Indonesia were still pressured by the Philippines. The home team's attacks relied entirely on Marselino Ferdinan - a player who plays for Oxford United in the English First Division. Ferdinan dribbled, created chances and tried to shoot but failed.
When Indonesia conceded a goal in the 63rd minute due to a mistake by Donny Tri Pamungkas, Indonesia decided to attack to salvage the situation. However, coach Shin Tae-yong's substitutions such as Hokky Caraka, Ronaldo Kwateh or Arhan Kaka failed to demonstrate their professional ability. Therefore, the team from the archipelago had to suffer the worst result in the past 3 years.
