JAKARTA The defender of the Indonesian national team Jordi Amat ensured that he and his colleagues were very ready to face Thailand in the 2022 AFF Cup group stage continued match.

The duel between the two teams will take place at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK) on Thursday, December 29 tomorrow. Both teams attended this match with positive capital.

"I know they have a strong team. So we have to be careful. They have a lot of quality players in the team," he said.

"We have to focus and play well like two games before. I hope we can get even better and score more goals, I'm very positive," he added.

So far, Indonesia and Thailand have collected six points from two matches. However, The War Elephants are still at the top of the standings board because they are ahead of goal difference.

Thailand began their journey in this biennial event by crushing Brunei and the Philippines. Meanwhile, Garuda won over Cambodia and harbored Brunei with seven goals without reply.

"So the team's confidence is high. Tomorrow is a tough match. So, we have to make sure that all players are ready," said the 30-year-old.

"The coach gives some players a break. So we will be fresher. I think everyone is very prepared to fight Thailand. This is an important match for us. Maybe we can finish first in the group. We'll see," he added.

Indonesia and Thailand are the two main favorites of Group A. Both have a great chance of qualifying for the semifinals as group winners and runners ups.

So far, Indonesia has not tasted the title of the 13 editions of the AFF Cup which have been held since 1996. Garuda's best achievement is always being runner-up from six opportunities to enter the final.
