JAKARTA - Garuda Muda is preparing for the AFF U-16 trophy and the U-17 Asian trophy. The U-16 Indonesian national team coach, Nova Arianto, looks optimistic about the quality of the players participating in the fourth phase of the selection recently.

The fourth phase of selection took place from March 28 to 31, and was attended by 36 players at the Jakarta International Stadium. "The quality of the players in the second stage is actually in their quality above the first stage," Nova said after leading the team's training ground at the Jakarta International Stadium, as reported by Antara, Sunday, March 31.

"Because all the players who are here, on average, come from teams that qualify in the last eight Elite Pro Academy. In their competing experience and competing hours are better, and in terms of quality we can see they are better," Nova continued. Nova. Nova said the challenging thing is to change the playing style of his players, which requires adjustments due to differences in the way they play at their respective clubs. "Because in each club it must be philosophically different. So here I have my own philosophy and I hope the players can play according to the philosophy I want. Players who can enter my team are players who can play according to what I want," said the former Persib Bandung player.

One of the things that Nova often emphasizes is that his squad can play games that rely on teamwork and roll the ball forward. Actually playing the ball is easy, but it is complicated by the players themselves. Because the player makes something that rather than passing, he wants to be signing. He always controls. It makes the rhythm of the match disappear<' Nova said.

"That's what I'm a little disappointed or angry about, because I hope to play football in the future can't be like that. Because of the experience in the Asian Cup yesterday, when we were against Japan, when we were against Australia, the Indonesian national team couldn't accept the ball well." Another basic factor is the physical players who are expected to be above the average.. "If the physical level is yes, we have standards to get to (the) AFF (U-16), we have to get the VO2Max at 50, yes. And to get to the Asian Cup Qualification my target is at 55, and in the next time it can reach 60, "concluded former assistant coach of the senior national team Shin Tae-yong.
