JAKARTA – The U-23 Indonesian national team can now be happy ahead of the match against Timor Leste. That's because they've been training on a better pitch.

Shin Tae-yong's squad will meet Timor Leste in the second match of the Hanoi 2021 SEA Games Group A elimination on Tuesday, May 10 tomorrow. This match will be held at Viet Tri Stadium, Phu Tho, Vietnam.

Indonesia also made preparations on the field that were more appropriate ahead of this important match. Previously, the Garuda squad was disappointed because they received poor field facilities at Bai Bang and Tam Nong.

"We are grateful for that [the training ground has been moved] because it makes us comfortable practicing with our touch. If the field is good, it's even better," said the Indonesian U-23 national team midfielder, Marselino Ferdinand, according to the official PSSI website.

Marselino and his friends are required to win the match against Timor Leste after losing three points against Vietnam.

At that time, Shin Tae-yong's troops were bent by a landslide score of three goals without reply. These results make them have to settle for sitting in fourth position standings with a collection of zero points.

Marselino also asked Indonesian fans not to lose hope after the defeat against Vietnam. He hopes that he and his colleagues will continue to receive support so that they can pass the group stage.

"For supporters of the Indonesian national team, thank you for supporting us so far. Please continue to support us until the end," said Marselino.

The U-23 Indonesian national team will face the Philippines and Myanmar after meeting Timor Leste. For this year's SEA Games, the Garuda squad is targeted to bring home a gold medal after 2019 and then bring home silver.
