JAKARTA - The U-20 Indonesian national team suffered a crushing 0-6 defeat to France in the test match, Friday, November 18 in the early hours of WIB. Mental is considered to be the main factor of this defeat.

The candidate for naturalization of the Indonesian U-20 National Team, Justin Hubner, admitted that the players appeared tense in the match. In addition, Garuda Nusantara did not feel confident when it met France.

"We have to be more relaxed and confident with the ball. I think that's important", Hubner said after the game, as quoted by Antara, Friday, November 18.

He also said that the goal against Garuda Nusantara happened so easily. "Actually, some of our attacks were quite good, but the passing was not very good", said Hubner.

He also gave suggestions so that this problem does not happen again. The Wolverhampton Wanderers U-21 player asked Marselino Ferdinand and his friends to increase their passing practice.

The hope is that the Indonesian U-20 national team players are braver to control the ball longer and are not in a hurry to release the bait.

"We need to play simple with passing and keep the ball in our possession", he said.

Mental problems are also in the spotlight of the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong. He said the players were afraid before the match so they lost confidence.
