"This means big to us. Since this team was formed, we have always been together for two years. From the start, coach Nova (Arianto) told us that our goal is to qualify for the World Cup (U-17)."
"I didn't expect that we could really perform here," said Evandra as quoted from the FIFA website.
Of the three matches that have been played, the U-17 Indonesian national team was finally able to win their first victory. Evandra admits that the U-17 World Cup is an important point in their career.
However, openly, Evandra said that at first he did not expect the team formed by Nova Arianto to qualify for the U-17 World Cup.
Untuk ada di titik ini, Garuda Muda memang berjuang cukup panjang mulai. Apalagi ini adalah kali pertama Indonesia U-17 bisa lolos ke Piala Dunia U-17 lewat jalur qualif setelah dua tahun lalu lolos dengan status tuan rumah.
Meanwhile for Nova Arianto, appearing in the U-17 World Cup is an important achievement. The coach admitted that he had learned a lot of valuable lessons while accompanying the players in the process.
"It's really amazing because it's the biggest event in their age group. I think it's a valuable lesson for the players, as well as for me as a coach."
"I learned a lot from the existing situation. I hope we can perform better in the future," said Nova.
