U-19 National Team Trains 3 Times A Day While In Croatia

JAKARTA - The U-19 national team arrived in Croatia on Sunday, August 30, at 10.00 local time. They will undergo the training three times a day.

The manager of the Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong said that all the players were in good health and ready to participate in all activities.

"Starting Monday, August 31, we have started normal training, namely three times a day," said Shin, quoted from Antara.

All U-19 national team players have undertaken recovery training on Sunday shortly after arriving at Sveti Martin na Muri, Croatia.

"We gave a light menu for an hour at the inaugural training in Croatia. However, when the activity was about to finish, it was raining heavily. Until now, the player's condition is fine and there are no significant problems," said Shin.

The Indonesian U-19 national team is scheduled to be in Croatia for one month.

There, besides undergoing training, the U-19 national team is scheduled to take part in the U-19 international friendly tournament on September 2-8, 2020.

The competition was attended by four countries, namely Indonesia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Saudi Arabia.

There are 28 players and 15 officials, including the coach, who participated in the activities in Croatia.

The TC was held in preparation for the U-19 Asian Cup which will take place in Uzbekistan on 14-31 October 2020. However, based on the latest news, there is a possibility that the tournament will be postponed by the AFC due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the U-19 Asian Cup, the U-19 national team is projected to compete in the 2021 U-20 World Cup which will be held on 20 May-12 June 2021 in Indonesia.
