JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-Yong has set a big target in the U-23 AFF Cup. He wants to give his first title to the Garuda squad.

In this event, Indonesia came with the status of defending champion. In the previous 2019 edition, the team that was coached by Indra Sjafri at that time came out as champions after beating Thailand in the top match.

"Of course, my target is to win," said the 51-year-old coach during a chat on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel, quoted by VOI.

If according to the schedule, the AFF U-23 2022 will take place in Cambodia on 14-26 February. The team made by Shin Tae-Yong will start their work in this B Group edition.

Indonesia must work hard because it will meet Malaysia's mortal enemy and will be challenged by Myanmar and Laos. In addition, a number of names also could not defend the Red and White.

Shin Tae-yong certainly didn't bring Elkan Baggot, Egy Maulana Vikri, and Asnawi Mangkualam. As a substitute, he will give opportunities to players from the Indonesian League 1.

"I will prepare the team so that we can bring home the title," said Shin Tae-yong.

This 51-year-old coach has been in the chair for two years as the coach of the Indonesian national team. He hasn't given a title yet, but managed to take Elkan Baggot and his friends to the AFF 2020 final.

Unfortunately, in the final match, the Indonesian national team lost to Thailand in a match that took place over two legs.
