Determination To Win Is The Key To The Indonesian National Team's Victory Over Vietnam
JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team beat Vietnam 1-0 in the second match of Group D of the 2023 Asian Cup at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium, Friday, January 19, 2024.
The important victory clearly opened the hope of the Garuda Squad to qualify for the knockout phase.
Meraup tripoin tak serta-merta membuat Timnas Indonesia tanpa kesalahan. Shin Tae-yong mengakui anak pemudahannya masih memiliki kekurangan, terutama soal pengalaman mengingat banyak pemain muda dalam squad.
"We are a young team. So, a bit less experienced. That's why the performances in the two different rounds," said the South Korean coach after the match.
Even though the experience side is a negative point, Shin Tae-yong deserves to be proud of the player's determination. A big motivation to get full points is the key for his team to appear with high determination.
"We really lacked experience, but we played with the determination to win. The players did everything they could to keep the score (excellence)," said Shin Tae-yong.
