"We have four days to prepare for the semifinals. Whoever the opponent will be, if I'm not mistaken, we have to face Group C winners, whether it be Thailand or Malaysia, we are ready," said Indra.
Indonesia U-19's belief that it can go through the semifinals cannot be separated from the frequent meeting of Thailand U-19 and Malaysia U-19 in several previous events.
However, Indra Sjafri was reluctant to divulge the strategy for the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup semifinals.
"Yes, we will see for sure who will fight. If the opponent of Thailand is the last one at the SEA Games. I often fight Thailand quite often, which is a bit rare against Malaysia."
"So, we'll wait and see who we will fight. After that, it will be seen how to respond to them," said Indra Sjafri.
Indonesia U-19 will play the 2024 AFF U-19 Cup semifinals at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, on July 27, 2024.
Meanwhile, Indonesia U-19 has only won the AFF U-19 Cup once (2013), the same as Vietnam U-19 (2007).
