JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will face Burundi at the FIFA Matchday event at Patriot Candrabagha Stadium, Bekasi, Tuesday, March 28. This is the second match between the two teams.

"So with an analysis of the match I saw yesterday's match 70 to 80 percent of the squad (the Burundi team) had already been played, and in the second half, the main players were also played," said the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong.

"Surely the opponent will also show the best, definitely better than yesterday's match, of course. So we are not only wary of one player, but all players will also be wary of," continued the South Korean coach, as reported by Antara, Monday, March 27.

Shin also stated that his team will focus on the attacking sector in this second match. Moreover, this is a home game.
