Indonesia Wins A Victory Against Cambodia In The First Match, Shin Tae-yong Is Still Not Satisfied

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team managed to play their first match in the Group B phase of the AFF Cup 2020 on Thursday night with brilliant results. Despite the 4-1 win over Cambodia, Shin Tae-yong admitted that he was not satisfied.

The national team coach said that in the match against Cambodia, the Garuda squad still did not play optimally as he expected.

"Indeed we could have scored four goals but our game was not at 50 percent of what I wanted. I will talk to the players so they understand my instructions," Shin Tae-Yong told his post-match online press conference.

Appearing at Bishan Stadium, Singapore, Indonesia scored a goal through braces by Rachmat Irianto, Evan Dimas and Ramai Rumakiek.

Regarding the course of the match, Shin Tae-yong said the 3-0 victory that the national team had won in the first half gave his team the upper hand. This mentality is what the coach calls the players to get rid of.

"Players think our opponents are easy. This is a player's fault and I will reprimand them. This must be corrected," said the coach.

Despite Shin Tae-yong's comments, the victory over Cambodia made Indonesia in second place in the Group B standings with three points. Malaysia holds the top position with six points from two matches.

After conquering Cambodia in the inaugural match, the national team must perform better against Laos in the next match, December 12.
