The warm-up party ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup was held at the National Stadium, Tokyo, on Monday, January 1, 2024. Japan as the host lost 0-5.
"Not yet watching the match (Japan vs Thailand), but for the results, I already know," said Shin Tae-yong in an interview session at an online press conference held Wednesday, January 3, 2024, afternoon WIB.
Although he admitted that he did not directly monitor Japan's appearance to see how the potential opponents moved, Shin Tae-yong was not worried. He said that there was still time for the Indonesian national team to make thorough preparations.
"It (although not monitoring) will not make us late in preparing against Japan," continued the coach.
