Against Saudi Arabia, Shin Tae-yong Promises The Indonesian National Team To Pocket Different Results

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, promised different results when escorting the team against Saudi Arabia.

The two teams will meet on matchday six of the 2026 World Cup Qualification Third Round, Tuesday, November 19, 2024, at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta.

This party is a crucial moment for the Indonesian national team who have just lost 0-4 to Japan.

Although he has just swallowed a bitter result, Shin Tae-yong believes his directional team will achieve different results when they host The Green Falcons.

"I believe in the players tomorrow the results will be different. However, it all depends on the struggle of the players against Saudi Arabia later."

"I hope the players will remain enthusiastic for tomorrow's match," said Shin Tae Yong in a press conference ahead of the match at SUGBK, Monday, November 18, 2024.

Facing Saudi Arabia, Shin Tae-yong realized that the team's preparation was fairly short. Jay Idzes and his colleagues practically only had four days after the clashes against Japan.

"Preparation for tomorrow's match is very short. However, we have prepared well for the match against Saudi Arabia."

"The players have also fought very hard and well in the match against Saudi Arabia in Jeddah. This time the players are also well prepared," said the coach.

Currently, Indonesia is still slumped at the bottom of Group C with a collection of three points from five appearances. The result was obtained from three draws and lost twice.

Given that there are only five matches left, the chances of the Indonesian national team finishing in the top four are still open.

However, the conditions that must be met are by not losing and can begin with three points when hosting Saudi Arabia in SUGBK.
