After losing to Australia, Indonesia tightens discipline like never before

" I hope the security measures applied will ensure the safety of the players from the elevator, each floor, the lobby. I hope they can be comfortable, not disturbed by anyone, the players need to concentrate. No celebrities or fans are allowed to enter the hotel ," CNN Indonesia quoted the head of the national team - Mr. Kombes Sumardji.

According to Indonesian media, the players were placed under "martial law" after the defeat to Australia. In addition to the defeat, some "social media influencers" and fans were allowed into the hotel to interview players under a sponsorship program. This caused some stars to lose focus.

Indonesia tightens security for players.

It is unclear how much of an impact this story had, but the Indonesian team suffered a "disastrous" match in Australia. After Kevin Diks missed a penalty kick in the 8th minute, Indonesia conceded 4 consecutive goals before Romeny scored an honorary goal. In the end, the Indonesian team conceded and ended the match with a 1-5 defeat.

This defeat seriously affected the World Cup ambitions of the archipelago nation. The Indonesian team still ranked 4th with 6 points, equal to Bahrain and China. They were exactly 4 points behind Australia, who had qualified for the World Cup. Coach Kluivert could not help but worry as the players' physical strength was worn down and the team had more injuries.

" All 29 players are in good condition, there are no significant problems. They will undergo medical examinations immediately today. We will review the condition of players such as Mees Hilgers and Sandy Walsh. They are injured and their recovery is not yet clear, " added Mr. Kombes Sumardji.

In the 8th match, Indonesia will host Bahrain at home. Coach Kluiver and his team have no way back and must win against the West Asian team. If they fail, they risk being eliminated.
