JAKARTA - Indonesian U-19 national team striker Ronaldo Kwateh said that his squad still needed to improve their chemistry or emotional ties ahead of the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup Qualification.

"We may still lack chemistry. But we continue to build it so that the team can quickly become one and give their best in qualifying," Ronaldo said as quoted by Antara, Wednesday.

The 17-year-old added that the U-19 national team needed to be united because it was now filled with new names after the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup.

If closeness is established, each player will understand each other's will when competing on the field.

In addition to chemistry, Ronaldo also believes that the U-19 national team must improve the quality of the final settlement (finising).

Hal itu, dia melanjutkan, juga menjadi fokus pelatih timnas U-19 Shin Tae-yong.

"We often practice finishing, as well as passing and possession of the ball. Coupled with activities at the fitness center," said Ronaldo.

The U-20 2023 Asian Cup Qualification will be held on September 14-18 2022. In that competition, Indonesia is in Group F with Timor Leste, Hong Kong and Vietnam. All Group F matches will be held at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya.

Regarding Indonesia's competitors in Group F, Ronaldo said that all of these teams were tough teams.
