JAKARTA - Assistant coach of the U-19 national team Nova Arianto said that some of his players had not shown their maximum performance in the training camp (TC) held in Jakarta.

"There are still players who are not maximal in terms of physical, technical and mental," said Nova, quoted by Antara from the official website of PSSI in Jakarta, Monday.

Therefore, Nova asked her foster children to always work hard, focus and be disciplined in practicing.

However, Nova Arianto considered the players in general good condition.

Several players who were injured have also returned to normal activities with their colleagues.

The Indonesian U-19 national team has been undergoing TC in Jakarta since November 13, 2020. The activity will last until Amiruddin Bagas and his friends leave the country to continue TC.

There are 36 players who participated in the TC in preparation for the U-19 Asian Cup and U-20 World Cup in 2021.

The U-19 national team TC in Jakarta is led by Nova Arianto, while head coach Shin Tae-yong monitors from South Korea.

Shin was also the one who gave directions about the U-19 national team training menu.

"We are also waiting for the arrival of coach Shin Tae-yong," said Nova.
