The Indonesian National Team Vs Vietnam, Observer: Entertaining Naturalized Players Becomes A Luxury Capital To Win

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will face Vietnam in the second round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Thursday, March 21, 2024. The Garuda squad is required to win considering that the formation of naturalized players in the team is a luxurious capital.

This was conveyed by a football observer, Akmal Marhali. He said the opportunity for the Indonesian national team to achieve positive results was wide open. Moreover, the Garuda squad is now classy with the presence of naturalized players.

Akmal Marhali also said that in addition to the aspect of the composition of the players who are now relatively classy, Shin Tae-yong must also be able to prove his slick hand. You see, so far the coach has also continued to be facilitated in fostering the squad.

"If asked, we must win over Vietnam," said Akmal Marhali in his statement when contacted, Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

"With all the luxury facilities to Shin Tae-yong, he wants naturalized players, descendants, to be given what they want. Want a trial with all the big teams, given."

"With all the needs that have been given, now we must be able to prove on the field, we can win against Vietnam and that is a fixed price that cannot be negotiated," he said again.

If you look at the composition of the squad filled with many experienced players playing in Europe, the Indonesian national team should be stronger than Vietnam.

"If only half (naturalized players) were deployed or not to be full in the squad, we should have made our strength (Indonesian national team) exceed Vietnam. Vietnam is only the goalkeeper who has blood of descent," said Akmal.

Based on his observations, Akmal Marhali predicts that the Indonesian national team can win without reply against Vietnam in SUGBK.

Playing at home with full support, supporters can immediately become fuel to spark the spirit of the Garuda Squad.

"The 2-0 score is good (for the Indonesian national team). Don't win luck like in the 2023 Asian Cup, through a penalty goal. You see, we already have advantages," he said.
