JAKARTA - The defender of the Indonesian national team, Jay Idzes, leaked the current situation of the team's dressing room ahead of the match against Japan. The Venezia FC player said that the current situation is quite good between players.

The Indonesian national team will face Japan on the fifth matchday of Group C of the Third Round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification. This match will be held at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Jakarta, on Friday, November 15, 2024, at 19.00 WIB.

Jay Idzes, who was present with Shin Tae-yong in a press conference session ahead of the match, answered questions about the current situation in the dressing room.

The player who will carry the armband ensures that the Indonesian national team is in good condition. There is no dichotomy between local and abroad. All blend like family.

"The feeling in the dressing room is now quite good. Even though the last two games were not satisfactory, the feeling in the dressing room remained good, between local players and Abroad," Jay Idzes said during a press conference on Thursday, November 14, 2024, WIB night.

Furthermore, Idzes also ensured that the players had good relations with each other which were quite influential for togetherness on the field.

"If you look at the day after day, every exercise, the chemistry of our team is getting better. This is also seen on the field, all players seem to help each other," he said.

The training situation also looks fluid. Not only between players, but the relationship between players and coach Shin Tae-yong is also very warm.

In an upload on the Indonesian national team's Instagram account, the players compactly pranked the coach during the ice bath session.

When the players denied bathing in the ice bath, they then got together with Shin Tae-yong and threw him away.

The moment illustrates how close and trusted players are to the coach, and vice versa.

They know when it's time to seriously train to prepare themselves, when to joke about fostering team harmony.
