As previously announced, the most anticipated star Lionel Messi will not be present in the match against Indonesia.
It is understood he returned to his homeland Argentina to celebrate his 36th birthday and take part in a testimonial match.
Besides Messi, two other players, Di Maria and Otamendi, will also be absent for various reasons.
But in the blue and white team's lineup there are still stars like Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, De Paul, Mac Allister and Emiliano Martinez.
This match received a lot of attention from the media, especially, this was also the first time a Southeast Asian team competed with the reigning world champion.
According to research, to play a friendly match with the 2022 World Cup champion, the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) had to spend up to 16 million USD (about 376 billion VND).
Before the match, the PSSI president announced that he would give the players a huge bonus if they achieved good results against Argentina.
“The match against Argentina is not an entertaining match. The matches are very serious. If the Indonesian team loses to Argentina, it is understandable.
But we all need to dream bigger. If the Indonesian team draws, they will receive a lot of bonus money,” said Mr. Erick Thohir.
