Ragnar Oratmangoen Still Doesn't Forget His Performance Against Japan

Ragnar Oratmangoen has not been able to forget his unsatisfactory appearance in the last two matches of the Indonesian national team (VOI/Ferry Tri Adi Sasono).

JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team player, Ragnar Oratmangoen, still cannot forget the match against Japan which was held at the Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK) Main Stadium, November 15, 2024.

The Garuda squad lost with a landslide score of 0-4 from the Blue Samurai.

Ragnar admitted that he still regretted his appearance in the match. In fact, he had a golden opportunity that could actually change the game if it resulted in a goal.

The opportunity was born when he only faced one on one with Japan's goalkeeper, Zion Suzuki. However, the finish was not good enough so the goalkeeper could still block it.

In total, the Indonesian national team has eight shots, two of which are great opportunities. Unfortunately, the two golden opportunity, one of which has Ragnar, is still unable to bear fruit.

"Of course, I'm an attacker. We have to score from the chances we get."

"I thought in that game, I had a very big chance so I should have scored a goal," said the FCV striker.

Likewise, in the match against Saudi Arabia on November 19, 2024 in SUGBK, Ragnar also had many opportunities to score goals.

Sofascore noted the 26-year-old striker fired two shots off target, two shots were blocked, and missed a big chance.

Although he has not met expectations as a sharp striker in Indonesia, Ragnar admits that he will continue to learn.

He has a habit of watching his appearance again after the match to find out the shortcomings he can fix in the next match.

"Today I also got some opportunities that I could actually do better, but I learned," said the striker, who has scored two goals and two assists for the Garuda Squad.

"I always watch it back and hope to score at SUGBK in the upcoming matches."

"I'm glad someone else took action today to score for the team. That's what makes me very happy," he said.

In the match against Saudi Arabia, the Indonesian national team managed to get three points after winning 2-0.

Both goals were scored by Marselino Ferdinand who became the Best Player of the Match.
