As part of their preparations for the 2023 Asian Cup, Indonesia is currently training in Türkiye, where they have welcomed the arrival of doctor Choi Ju Young.
Dr. Choi Ju Young is a former assistant to coach Park Hang-seo during the South Korean coach's time with Vietnamese football. According to Indonesian media, Dr. Choi has joined the Indonesian national team on a short-term contract, until the end of the 2023 Asian Cup. He will serve as a physiotherapist for the Indonesian team during the tournament.
Dr. Choi is a renowned sports doctor in South Korea, affectionately nicknamed "the miracle doctor" by Vietnamese football fans. Not only did he work alongside Coach Park Hang-seo with the Vietnamese national team, but he was also part of Coach Hiddink's team of assistants at the 2002 World Cup.
The Indonesian national team is currently training in Türkiye and will play two friendly matches against Libya on January 2nd and 5th. These are two important friendly matches for Indonesia ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup, a tournament in which they are in the same group as Japan, Iraq, and Vietnam.
Indonesia is also a direct competitor with Vietnam in Group F of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region. Therefore, the upcoming match between the two teams at the 2023 Asian Cup is also very interesting. For Coach Shin, having Doctor Choi as an assistant is also very important because he has some information about several current Vietnamese national team players.
