JAKARTA - The Indonesian U-19 national team will undergo its first trial against a university team from South Korea, Kyung Hee University, Friday, January 24. The match starts at 15.30 in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

This match is an opportunity for coach Shin Tae-yong's manager to see the abilities of his foster children who are undergoing training camps in the Land of the White Elephant. They undergo a variety of training menus under Tae-yong's supervision.

Launching the official PSSI website, it is possible that Tae-yong played all his players in the match in turn. Except for Saddam Gaffar and Alfeandra Dewangga, who were injured.

Amiruddin Bagas and his friends are scheduled to undergo five to six trial matches between the training camps in Thailand against teams from South Korea and Thailand.

Earlier, on the third day of practice, Thursday, the players used the GPS Sport Vest which was pinned to their chest. This is a technological innovation in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Cooperative Research Centers (CRC).

"In this training camp, we coaches implement programs to improve the physical endurance of players, as I said when I first became the coach of the Indonesian national team, I will focus on that. I also brought in a physical team from South Korea, "said Tae-yong.

Broadly speaking, this tool is useful for measuring a player's ability to attend training sessions. Thus, the GPS Sport Vest can improve a player's performance, minimize injuries, and support the injury recovery process.

"We also hold physical tests for the players. The result, quite satisfying. Will continue to be improved throughout the training camp here. The use of GPS for physical tests is also used, ”he continued.

In 2020, the U-19 national team will take part in the U-19 AFF Cup, which took place in Indonesia but the time has not been determined, and the U-19 Asian Cup which will be held on 14-31 October 2020 in Uzbekistan.

After that, the following year, they will appear at the U-20 World Cup which will be held on 24 May-12 June 2021.
