Contrasting shades of Indonesia and Thailand U.23 teams
On the afternoon of July 24, at the press conference before the semi-final match between U.23 Indonesia and U.23 Thailand, coach Vanenburg expressed his excitement: "We are very happy to be in the semi-finals because we are in a strong group, with the presence of the Philippines and Malaysia. And Thailand is also very strong, so we also need to prepare very carefully. Facing them is always difficult. Defending against Thailand is also good, but we also need to fight and show ourselves. We lost strength, missing a few players and that could be a disadvantage for Indonesia. However, we still have many good players to replace. I am still very confident. We will prove ourselves to defeat a strong opponent like Thailand".

The Dutch strategist is very confident, has prepared plans to deal with the U.23 Thailand team. He is so confident that he does not need to prepare for the penalty shootout: "I know that I have a cohesive team, ready to fight together. We have done our job well. Honestly, both Malaysia and the Philippines are strong teams. Now we step up to a new level, when the opponent is Thailand. Indonesia is progressing step by step. Now it is Thailand and let's wait and see who is next. I know Thailand is very fast. We have also tried to prepare carefully. We have good ideas to face Thailand. We know what we have to do.
I am also satisfied with the strikers like Hokky, Ravens. We always create more chances than the opponent. I believe they will continue to play well when facing Thailand. We are not preparing for the penalty shootout."
Fight for Indonesian fans
Meanwhile, defender Alfharezzi Buffon shared: "We are ready to fight Thailand, both physically and mentally. We work well as a team, there is a connection between the lines. Indonesian fans have high expectations. When we win, they will be very happy, but if we lose, the whole team will be under a lot of pressure. We will try to play well so as not to disappoint the fans."
The semi-final match between Indonesia U23 and Thailand will take place at 8pm on July 24 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Coach Vanenburg and his team will play in front of over 80,000 home fans. This is a great motivation for the home team and a huge pressure for the away team.
