JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team player, Marc Klok, seems to want to take revenge on the host Vietnam at the 2021 SEA Games. For this reason, the naturalized midfielder hopes that Indonesia will qualify for the final and meet Vietnam again.
Indonesia and Vietnam had previously faced each other in the group stage. In that match, the home team won 3-0 over Shin Tae-yong's squad.
"I hope to meet Vietnam in the final. Honestly until now, I don't know any players except only remember head coach Park Hang-seo", Klok said as reported by Zing News.
Vietnam is the defending champion after, at the 2019 Philippines SEA Games, they beat Indonesia, which was then managed by Indra Sjafri.
This year, the team nicknamed The Golden Star is again the favorite to win again. Moreover, they have proven themselves by overthrowing Indonesia, which is a strong candidate for the gold medal.
"Vietnam is a team with a collective game, very well organized and disciplined. They also have an impressive physical and technical style of play", said Klok.
Indonesia swept three matches in the group stage with a win after the defeat against Vietnam. A total of nine points collected made the Garuda squad qualify for the semifinals with runner-up status.
To be able to penetrate the final, Indonesia must beat Thailand in the semifinals on Thursday, May 19 tomorrow.
Indonesia is targeted to bring home a gold medal from the biennial event. The last time the Garuda team occupied the highest podium in the football branch was in 1991.
