JAKARTA - The U-19 Indonesian national team will face South Korea, Tuesday, March 29. This is the second meeting between the two teams in a friendly match.

In the previous match, the U-19 national team lost 0-7 to Korea. At that time, the two teams faced off at the Daegu Auxiliary Stadium.

Ahead of the U-19 vs Korea national team match volume 2, something haunts Shin Tae-yong's foster children. The crushing defeat in the first meeting is still etched in the minds of Ronaldo Kwateh and his friends.

This is recognized by Shin Tae-yong. "It's always a question of score (lose 0-7), but the players must focus on showing what kind of development rather than the score," said the Korean coach on The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI)'s official website.

At least, the U-19 national team has an important capital ahead of this match. The 2-1 victory over Daegu Universita in the previous match, became a trigger for the motivation of the players.

Shin said the coaching team was still checking the condition of the players in the match. Admittedly the former coach of the Korean national team, there are still many shortcomings.

"Definitely the players will continue to work hard," he said.

During the training camp in Ginseng Country, the U-19 national team was scheduled to play a number of friendly matches. So far, Garuda Nusantara has competed three times.

As a result, the U-19 national team won once and lost twice. After losing 1-5 to Yeungnam University, they then lost 0-7 to the South Korean U-19 national team. Finally, Shin Tae-yong's team won 2-1 over Daegu University through three rounds of 3x40 minutes.
