"We also have to be careful. If we always put the same, there is one day where we lose."
"So, the most important thing is to focus on tomorrow's game. I've also been a player. Any stadium that matters is focus and preparation. We have to win, that's number one that should be held this year," Vanenburg said.
On paper, the host Indonesia U-23 will be superior to Laos. Moreover, the Red-White Team was also strengthened by a number of naturalized players, such as Matthew Baker, Dion Markx, to Jens Raven.
Vanenburg also made this match a means of proof for naturalized players to show quality.
"It's not just Dion who was shown because there are 23 players here. We also have Jens (Raven), (Rafael) Struick, and other players."
"Everything is very good. We are very ready for tonight's match and have prepared ourselves for training. We focus on our team only and are ready to get a win," said the Dutch coach.
Indonesia U-23 must hunt for victory against Laos so that the road to winning tickets for the 2026 Asian Cup finals becomes easier.
You see, only group winners are certain to advance to the 2026 Asian Cup finals in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, there are only four more tickets through the best runners-up path from 11 groups.
