Ragnar Oratmangoen's Mission In The Indonesia Vs Philippines National Team Match

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will play the last match of the second round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification against the Philippines at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Tuesday, June 11, 2024.

The Garuda squad must win in order to get tickets to the third round of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.

One of the players of the Red-White Team, Ragnar Oratmangoen, is optimistic that he can inundate the match.

He acknowledged that he had learned a lot from the 0-2 defeat against Iraq on June 6, 2024 in the same event.

"I think we did some good things in the match against Iraq, but in the end we had to lose 0-2."

"Now (against the Philippines) is an important game for us. We will try to get three points. We are optimistic that as a team we can show the best," Ragnar said during a press conference on Monday, June 10, 2024.

Apart from wanting to help the team win, the 26-year-old striker also has ambitions to score goals.

You see, Ragnar has never scored a goal while playing at home since debuting with the Indonesian national team in the 2026 World Cup Qualification match against Vietnam at My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi, March 26, 2024.

In fact, in the test match against Tanzania, June 2, 2024, Ragnar also failed to open the scoring in his own home despite many opportunities.

"Regarding the match against the Philippines, it will obviously be a difficult match. However, as I said, we are confident as a team that we can win the game."

"Then, I hope to score a goal at SUGBK. Previously, I felt that fighting Tanzania created many chances. We should have scored and could have finished the opportunity."

"However, as I expected, tomorrow I could score in the game and become an important player for the team," said Ragnar.

Ragnar has actually scored a goal for the Indonesian national team. However, his goal was created when the Garuda Squad visited Vietnam's headquarters in the striker's debut match.
