JAKARTA - Shin Tae-yong has determined the list of players for the Indonesian national team vs Vietnam in the second match of Group D of the 2023 Asian Cup. Egy Maulana Vikri and Sandy Walsh dropped as starters.

The Indonesian national team faced Vietnam at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium, Doha, on Friday, January 19, 2024, at 21.30 WIB. This match is crucial for both teams because it could be a gap to pick full points for the hope of qualifying for the round of 16.

In order to smooth out the goal of getting the full three points, Shin Tae-yong displayed a different formation than against Iraq. This time the South Korean coach gave confidence in Egy and Walsh appeared since the early minutes.

In fact, against Iraq, the two players had the opportunity to appear after occupying the bench. Shin Tae-yong's change was also aimed at the back line of the Garuda Squad.

For that position, the coach paired Pratama Arhan and Asnawi Mangkualam plus the strength of the naturalized duet player, Jordi Amat in the central defender position with Shandy Walsh.

At the midfield post, Shin Tae-yong still entrusted Ivar Jenner and Justin Hubner with their duties. Both will be supported by Marselino Ferdinand and Yakob Sayuri to maintain a midfield balance.

Meanwhile, the front rows will still be strengthened by Rafael Struick and Egy Maualana Vikri. Both are expected to be able to dismantle Vietnam's defenses since the first half began.

Mistar Gawang is still owned by Ernando Ari. The Persebaya Surabaya goalkeeper is expected to appear by recording a clean sheet in this decisive match.
