Shin Tae-yong Reveals 3 Bad Things Indonesian Players Have

JAKARTA - The tactician Shin Tae-yong revealed the bad things that Indonesian national team players have. There are three negative things that this Korean coach is trying to fix.

The bad things that the Indonesian national team player had were revealed by this 51-year-old man when he was invited to appear on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel podcast on Tuesday, January 11.

"There are three things. The first is a lack of professional mentality. The second is eating problems. The third is weight training. They don't understand why they are weight training," said Shin Tae-yong.

Weight training is the most common type of strength training to build physical strength and increase muscle size. This exercise is important because soccer requires physical strength.

If players don't have physical strength, they will automatically find it difficult to face opponents with higher physical levels. When you have lost physically, players will find it difficult to bring out their best abilities.

"After I came here I felt that a lot of Indonesians don't know why they are weight training. This is very important for playing football," he said.

Then the problem of eating Indonesian players is considered a lot of negligent. They often eat foods that should not be eaten by professional players.

The coach said that the food problem he could control when the players were at the national team's training camp. However, when they are in their respective teams the problem becomes difficult to control.

"Eat fried rice, fried food. Even though players have to eat a lot of protein. Now I'm changing that. When I'm in training camp I can change their diet but when they come back to the team I don't control them," he said.

Shin Tae-yong has been sitting on the coach of the Indonesian national team since 2019. He has not yet awarded a title, but has just succeeded in bringing the Garuda squad to the final of the 2020 AFF Cup.

He will then prepare the Indonesian squad for the FIFA international break at the end of this month. In the near future a training center will be held to prepare for the agenda.
