" To say that the Indonesian team is not under any pressure would be a lie. I can only say that my young players are still performing well ," coach Shin Tae-yong replied when asked about the Indonesian team's mentality as they faced the risk of elimination.
The Indonesian team is currently second in Group B with 4 points, 3 points behind Vietnam. However, a loss to the Philippines at home would certainly eliminate them. Even with a point, Indonesia still risks missing out on the 2024 AFF Cup semi-finals if the Philippines defeat Vietnam. Coach Shin admitted that the Indonesian team has concerns.
Coach Shin Tae-yong.
“ Even when facing an opponent with their strongest lineup, the Indonesian team still has good points. However, there are still shortcomings that need to be addressed in the future. Moreover, if Indonesia wins, the young players will develop much better than they are now.”
"The match against the Philippines will definitely decide whether Indonesia advances from the group stage or not. We will work as hard as we can and try to achieve the best possible result ," said coach Shin Tae-yong.
The South Korean coach is calling on Indonesian fans to quickly fill the stadiums to inspire the players. According to Coach Shin, the mental aspect of the game could determine Indonesia's success or failure in the match against the Philippines. At this point, Indonesia can only rely on players like Asnawi Mangkualam, Arhan Pratama, Marselino Ferdinand, and Rafael Struick. The Indonesian Football Federation has been criticized for using a lineup unsuitable for a tournament like the 2024 AFF Cup.
“ After the match against the Vietnamese team, we focused on recovery. Fortunately, the national team had two days of complete rest. We developed a specific plan and watched the match between Vietnam and the Philippines to study their tactics. The whole team is now in the best possible condition ,” said Shin.
The match between Indonesia and the Philippines will take place at 8:00 PM on December 21st.
