JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong highlighted the quality of his squad's passing after the 0-1 defeat to Afghanistan in the FIFA international test match at Gloria Stadium, Antalya, Turkey, last Tuesday night.

The reason is, Shin assessed that the goals obtained by Afghanistan were born from errors in baiting the Indonesian players themselves.

"The goal stems from a passing error made by the player. We have to reduce mistakes like that, which shouldn't be done," said the South Korean tactician after the match, reported by Antara, Wednesday.

Shin considered that his foster children did not perform optimally in the match and Evan et al failed to show the game as desired.

"One of the reasons, the condition of the players are not so good. There are some who are still jet lag (sleep disorders due to time zone differences-ed)," said the 51-year-old man.

Shin Tae-yong also doesn't want a similar situation to repeat itself against Myanmar and must win the next test match which will take place on Thursday, November 25 at 21.00 p.m.

"We have to win the match against Myanmar. This team actually has good capital, namely the physical condition that continues to improve. It can be seen against Afghanistan, the players can fight until the end. I want to see better developments from the players in the next match," said Shin.

The Indonesian national team was defeated by Afghanistan with a score of 0-1 in the FIFA international friendly match at Gloria Stadium, Antalya, Turkey, Tuesday night WIB.

The only goal of the match was scored by substitute Omid Popalzay in the 85th minute. This goal came through a quick Afghan counter-attack that started with an Indonesian player's error in the opponent's defense.
