JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will face Argentina at the Bung Karno Main Stadium, Monday, June 19, evening of Western Indonesian Time (WIB). This match titled FIFA Matchday is like David versus Goliath.

The Indonesian national team is predicted to be difficult to serve Argentina. However, the Garuda Squad was asked not to give up so easily.

Vice President (Wapres) Ma'ruf Amin asked the Indonesian national team players to at least provide resistance when serving Argentina.

"Yes, Argentina is the world champion. (Hopefully) it can keep up with its game. Don't be without resistance, you have to be able to fight," said the Vice President.

He said defeat was another matter. But putting up a fight and being able to deliver a good game is a story in itself.

The former chairman of the MUI then prayed that the Indonesian national team would play well against Argentina. The Vice President stated that he wanted to witness the match in person, but could not confirm his presence at SUGBK.

"Yes, the intention is to watch it, but I don't know later," he said, as reported by Antara.

Meanwhile, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is scheduled to watch the match between the Indonesian national team and Argentina at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Senayan, Jakarta.

"This afternoon, Insha Allah, the President will watch the Indonesian national team football match against Argentina," said Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media, Presidential Secretariat Bey Machmudin when met at the Bogor Palace, West Java, Monday.

Bey explained Jokowi would also meet the Indonesian National Team players after the game. The Indonesian national team coached by Shin Tae Yong will certainly field reliable players such as Dimas Drajad, Asnawi Mangkualam, Arhan Pratama and Marc Klok.
