JAKARTA - Bali United footballer Yabes Roni from Alor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara said he was ready to show his best performance after he was again called by the Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong in the squad that was brought to Thailand.

"Ready to work hard, ready to show my best game after being called into the squad to Thailand," said Yabes Roni to Antara, Monday.

He said that currently he and his colleagues were already in Thailand and had arrived on Sunday afternoon.

Yabes also admitted that he was very happy because he was finally able to return to Shin Tae-yong's national team squad, which is known to place great emphasis on physical strength.

The dropout from Indra Syafri's U-19 national team admitted that he was grateful, because all players in Indonesia certainly really hoped to be able to play in the Indonesian national team.

"I'm grateful to be called up to the national team again. Because all players have a desire to go to the national team and maybe this is a blessing that God has given me to be able to learn and be able to work even harder," he added.

Yabes admitted that he was not surprised when he was called by Shin Tae-yong, because previously after the match against Persib Bandung he had received information that he would be summoned.

"I've been called, and told to prepare myself, maybe I can be called and thank God finally called too. This is my fortune," he added.

Head coach Shin Tae Yong's Indonesian national team will compete against Taiwan on 7 and 11 October 11 in the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifying Playoff.

Yabes also admitted that he and his teammates are in excellent condition for the match on Thursday.
