Determined To Beat United Arab Emirates, Shin Tae-yong: We Must Renew The Team's Atmosphere

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team is determined to beat the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the final match of Group G of the 2022 World Cup Qualification in the Asian zone in Dubai, Friday, June 11.

For this reason, as quoted by Antara from PSSI's official website in Jakarta, Wednesday, the Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong wanted his team to forget the 0-4 defeat to Vietnam.

"We have to renew the team atmosphere so that we can give a positive result against the UAE," said the South Korean tactician.

Shin Tae-yong also asked his players to focus and improve the mentality of competing.

Garuda's squad, he continued, must immediately rise from defeat.

"We have to prepare ourselves better so we can bounce back," said Shin.

National team defender Arif Satria also wants to win three points from the match against the UAE.

Even though he realized it was difficult to do, plus the UAE was the host, the Persebaya club player was still full of optimism.

"UAE will appear as the host, they have their own motivation. However, we also don't want to lose again. We want to present a victory. Of course, it will not be easy. But we will work harder and ask for prayers and support from the Indonesian football lovers community," said Arif.

The 0-4 defeat to Vietnam made Indonesia remain at the bottom of Group G of the 2022 World Cup Qualification in the Asian zone with a collection of one point from seven matches.

The Indonesian national team will face the United Arab Emirates in their final match in Group G, at the Zabeel Stadium, Dubai, Friday, starting at 20.45 local time.
