JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team underwent a training camp (TC) for the preparation of the 2022 AFF Cup in Bali. In the first week, the physical condition of the players was forged with high intensity.

The Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, focuses on muscle and physical training of players. The reason is, the majority of players are not in ideal physical condition.

It cannot be separated from the vacuum of the Indonesian League competition since last October 1.

"Indeed, with League 1 stopping physically, everything fell. That's why the training is now (the pattern) in the morning practice in the gym, in the afternoon we practice running," Shin said on PSSI's official website, Tuesday, December 6.

He admitted that now the physical condition of the players is starting to improve. "So little by little, the better," he said.

In the second week, Shin said, the training program would not be much different. Strengthening muscles and physical enhancement remains the main focus of the coaching staff.

"So I'm really trying to make basic strengthening because with competitions stopping, all players are almost the same (conditions)," said the South Korean coach.

Although with high intensity, Shin Tae-yong revealed, the players were able to participate in the training well. The program he implemented was running smoothly.
