JAKARTA - The Indonesian U-19 national team (Timnas) went to South Korea to undergo a training camp. The players will undergo training and trial matches while in Ginseng Country.
This opportunity is an opportunity for the national team players to steal the attention of the coach, Shin Tae-yong. That mission is now being carried out by the U-19 national team goalkeeper, Erlangga Setyo.
The Persis Solo player wants to get Shin's attention by showing discipline and fighting power both in practice and in matches.
"I want to compete in the U-20 World Cup later. For that, I am determined to give my best for the national team. Especially I have to show discipline, strong mentality and fighting power on the field. Coach Shin saw it all," said Erlangga, as quoted by Antara, Friday, March 12.
The 192-centimeter player realizes that it is not easy to fill a place in the national team that will compete in the U-20 World Cup in 2023.
Understandably Shin and his staff are very selective. Not to mention that the U-19 national team squad is currently filled with talented players from all over Indonesia.
In South Korea, the U-19 national team is scheduled to play nine friendly matches, including twice against the South Korean U-19 national team. Erlangga of course did not want to waste the opportunity if he was given the opportunity later.
The Garuda Select dropout claimed to know very well the wishes of the U-19 national team goalkeeper coach, Kim Bong-so.
"Coach Kim doesn't want his goalkeeper to be careless for a second. Goalkeepers must focus throughout the game," said Erlangga.
Regarding the match against the South Korean U-19 national team, Erlangga admitted that the opponent had a good mentality and technique. However, he is optimistic that Indonesia will be able to win the match.
