The Indonesian National Team Only Playedbang Against Thailand, Marc Klok: We Are Better And Stronger

The Indonesian national team only drew against Thailand in the 2022 AFF Cup at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Thursday, December 29.

In this match, Indonesia has a chance to win. Shin Tae-yong's team won 1-0 through a Marc Klok penalty in the 50th minute

They then played against 10 people after Thailand had to lose Sanrawat Dechmitr in the 62nd minute for violating Saddil Ramdani.

While leading the number of players, the Red and White Squad conceded in the 79th minute due to Sarach Yooyen's goal. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.

"I think, today we are better and stronger," said Klok after the match, as quoted by Antara.

According to the 29-year-old footballer, the Indonesian national team is superior in aggressiveness from Thailand. In addition, the Alexander Poking squad also seemed uncomfortable appearing in front of the hosts' supporters.

Regarding the reason why Indonesia cannot take advantage of the advantage of the number of players to win, Klok said it was due to a lack of concentration.

"There was a moment when we were tired so we lost focus and accuracy," he said.

These results keep Indonesia in second place in Group A with seven points from three matches. Thailand is also top of the standings with seven points from three matches but is ahead on goal difference.

Indonesia will seal the slot in the semifinals if it is able to hold back a draw or win over the host Philippines in their last match in Group A on January 2, 2023 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, Manila.

Sementara untuk menjadi juara grup, Indonesia wajib menang besar denganselisi gol melampaui Thailand yang pada pertandingan penakhirnya akan melawan Cambodia.
