JAKARTA - The U-20 Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, said his team still had a number of shortcomings that had to be fixed following the defeat to Al-It was in the last test match in Turkey.

Garuda Nusantara underwent a trial against the Saudi Arabian League club on Sunday, November 13 at the Emirhan Side Stadium. In that match, Shin Tae-yong's team lost 0-2 to the Saudi Arabian League 1 team.

The coach then assessed several things that had to be evaluated and improved. "The first is about passing, then counterattacking and looking for space," said Shin Tae-yong about his team's shortcomings, quoted from Antara on Monday, November 14.

According to the South Korean coach, his team is often mistaken in making decisions about when to release bait to colleagues.

In addition, Garuda Nusantara was slow when building a counterattack. Shin also assessed that the U-20 national team still did not fully understand the matter of creating space in the middle of the game.

"When getting the ball from the opponent, 'counter attack' must be done quickly," said Shin.

"If you find an empty space, the player must come to fill it and wait for a pass there," continued the coach.

The trial agenda against Al-Adanya is the last agenda of the U-20 national team during a training camp (TC) in Turkey since last October 16. After that agenda, Garuda Nusantara immediately left for Spain on Monday, November 14 to continue the TC as well as participate in several other test matches.

During his TC in Turkey, the U-20 national team has conducted seven test matches. As a result, Shin Tae-yong's team won three times, drew twice and lost twice.

The series of trials were carried out in preparation for the U-20 national team in preparation for the U-20 Asian Cup and the 2023 U-20 World Cup.

The 2023 U-20 Asian Cup will be held on March 1-18, 2023 in Uzbekistan, while the 2023 U-20 World Cup will take place on May 20-June 11, 2023 in Indonesia.
