JAKARTA - Indonesia will face Singapore in the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals. Although it will face the host, coach Shin Tae-yong remains confident.

Shin Tae-yong said that the Garuda squad had the opportunity to win the 2020 AFF Cup. To be able to make this happen, he asked his team to perform optimally and show their best performance.

"The plan is that the most important thing is that the players can show their best quality. With that, it's not impossible that we can become champions," Shin Tae-yong said at an online press conference on Tuesday, December 21.

The first leg of the 2020 AFF Cup semifinals will take place at the National Stadium, Singapore on Wednesday at 19.30 WIB. On this occasion, Shin Tae-yong asked his team to be vigilant.

The reason is, their opponents will benefit more from being the host. This will make the opponent more likely to read the situation of the venue.

"Tomorrow's first leg is against Singapore. They have an advantage because they act as hosts, so they need to be on high alert," said Shin Tae-yong added.

Furthermore, Shin Tae-yong believes that Singapore, which will host tomorrow's match, will not be easy to beat. Therefore, the South Korean coach asked all the players to be better prepared for the match.

"Tomorrow's game will not be easy. The preparation must be better in order to get the victory, "said Shin Tae-yong.
