JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, did not bother with the unsatisfactory final results his team received against Libya. He said the final result was not too much of a problem.
The Indonesian national team faced Libya in the inaugural test match ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup. In the match which was held attenuated Mardan Stadium, Turkey, on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, the Garuda Squad lost 0-4 to Libya.
These results are clearly disappointing for football lovers in the country. They are also worried about the chances of the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Asian Cup. Especially during the tournament, the Garuda Squad was in Group D with Iraq, Vietnam, and Japan.
Shin Tae-yong relaxed amid these concerns. He had no problem with the final result because the coach admitted that during the training camp (TC) in Turkey, his team did focus on physical training.
"Indeed, the players came to Turkey one day before the match against Libya focused on physical training. So, indeed I don't expect much in yesterday's match," Shin Tae-yong said in a virtual press conference on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
