JAKARTA - Bahrain National Team Coach, Dragan Talajic sent a warning signal to the Indonesian national team ahead of the clash between the two teams in the continued round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification. Talajic emphasized that his team is now in high confidence and ready to win at the Garuda Squad meeting.

This confidence cannot be separated from the situation in the Warrior Dilmun which has just won the 2025 Gulf Cup. This situation became their capital for the remaining four matches in Group C, including two crucial matches in March against Japan (March 20) and Indonesia (March 25).

Mentally, we weren't strong enough at the start. But now, we already believe in ourselves, have high confidence, and things will be different in the last four games," said Talajic as quoted by GDN on Saturday, February 22.

"If we stay united, we are able to do anything. If anyone tries to destabilize the harmony of the team, I will fight my best to defend what we have built together," he continued.

Talajic also emphasized that this was the right moment for Bahrain to prove himself. He wants his team to show the world that they deserve to appear in the 2026 World Cup. According to him, Japan, which is one of the strong teams in Asia, also doesn't make their foster children afraid.

"Now is the time to show our abilities to the world. We have proven in the Gulf Cup that we can play football beautifully," he explained.

And in these four qualifying matches, we will appear with a different story. We want to win every game, even against Japan. We are not afraid of anyone," said Talajic.
