Dutch Futsal Coach Admits Indonesia's Game Is Very Organized

JAKARTA - The coach of the Dutch national team, Miguel Andres Moreno, admitted that the Indonesian national team's game was very organized when they beat his team with a score of 5-1 in the 2025 AQUA Futsal Four Nations Cup at the GBK Basketball Hall, Jakarta, Saturday.

"They (Indonesian national team) showed good work in all aspects in matches, attacks, defenses, and everything is very intensive and very organized," said Miguel Andres Moreno after the match.

The Dutch lost their second defeat when they were silenced by Indonesia through goals scored by Muhammad Syaifullah (three goals), l Firman Ardiansyah (one goal) Muhammad Rizki Xavier (one goal). The Netherlands only returned one goal scored by Abbdessamad Attahiri towards the end of the match.

Miguel said the Indonesian team showed a very good game at a high level and different from the previous competition season.

"This team (Indonesia) has a good future," he said.

He said that in that match his children had difficulties in the first half when playing with unusual rhythms, understandings, and intensities.

Moreno explained that his team could only react to providing fierce resistance in the second half so that they could score goals.

Apart from that defeat, Moreno admitted that the players played very well and very talented but still lacked experience because the futsal competition in the Netherlands was not as strong as in Indonesia.

The Dutch national team lost their second consecutive defeat after being previously beaten by Latvia with a score of 2-3. The team from "Negeri Kincir Angin" still had a chance to record a win in the competition through one match remaining against Tanzania on Sunday (20/9).
