The Indonesian National Team Contrast Match Will Be Emotional For The Philippines Captain

JAKARTA - The Philippines will face the Indonesian national team in the final match of Group A of the 2022 AFF Cup at the Rizal Memorial Manila Stadium, Monday, January 2.

This match will be very emotional for the Philippines captain, Stephan Shrock. He said he would end his career with The Azkals after the match against Indonesia.

"Later, 99.9 percent will be the last match with the national team. I have strengthened the national team for 11 years and this is very emotional for me," Shrock told a news conference ahead of the match, as quoted by Antara.

Shrock admits that he has sacrificed a lot for the national team. Starting from missing the child's birthday, moving the wedding day to leaving his family exposed to COVID-19.

"It's time for me to step down and enjoy the 90 minutes I'm at The Azkals," he continued.

This 36-year-old man admits that he is ready to go all out. He didn't want to disappoint Filipino fans in this last match.

"I will play wholeheartedly, fighting for the country in my last match," he said.

The Philippines vs Indonesia match will take place starting at 19.30 WIB. The Philippines can destroy the dream of the Indonesian national team to qualify for the semifinals if they win in the match later.
