2022 AFF Cup: In The Face Of The Philippines, The Final Settlement Of Indonesian Players Is Believed To Be Improved

JAKARTA - Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong believes the quality of the final completion of his squad will improve along with the many 2022 AFF Cup matches they have gone through.

"The more they compete, the better the finishing, the better. I ask for full support for the Indonesian national team to be better," said Shin at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, Manila, Philippines as reported by Antara, Sunday, January 1, 2023.

However, the South Korean tactician emphasized that this did not mean that they did not improve their effectiveness in front of goal in every exercise.

Shin continues to hone his players' abilities at every opportunity with the hope that they will not waste the opportunity to win.

The quality of finishing for the Indonesian national team in the three 2022 AFF Cup Group A matches has been highlighted because it is considered ineffective.

Against Cambodia, December 23, 2022, Indonesia did win 2-1 but the two goals came from 16 shots at the goal, of which eight were on target.

Then, when defeating Brunei Darussalam 7-0, December 26, 2022, Indonesia produced a total of 26 attempts, half of which led to the goal.

Most recently, December 29, 2022, Indonesia, which directed three attempts to the right goal, had to draw 1-1 with Thailand. Whereas in that match, Thailand only produced one right kick.

Shin Tae-yong did not want a similar situation when his team met the Philippines in the last match of Group A of the 2022 AFF Cup at 20.30 local time or 19.30 WIB at the Rizal Memorial Stadium, Manila.

Partai itu penting bagi Indonesia karena akan menentukan langkah ke fase berikutnya.

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.

To become group winners, Indonesia must win big by goal difference beyond Thailand which in its final match will face Cambodia, on the same day.
