"Not yet fully aware of Mali's strength. However, we focus on how to play from coach Indra Sjafri," added Ferrari.
On the other hand, Indra Sjafri as the coach of the U-23 Indonesian national team revealed the reason for choosing Mali as an opponent in two test matches before the 2025 SEA Games.
"Yes, ideally, the trial was with a tough team, a team with better quality, some moderate, and some under us."
"Only yesterday, we tried to find two teams to be opponents of the match. However, we couldn't and there was no problem. I tried to do simulations with the same team," said Indra Sjafri.
