JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team will face Argentina on FIFA Matchday at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (SUGBK), Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, June 19.

On paper, Argentina is clearly the favorite. Moreover, the opponent is the champion of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Realizing that his team lost class, the coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, hopes that his team can enjoy the match. He hopes that there will be no tension or anxiety because they face strong opponents. "As we know, Argentina is indeed the best team in the world. The most important preparation is from the players themselves, from the hearts of the players. And I ask the players for help, don't worry, don't be tense," Shin said when met before leading the team's training at the A training ground, Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, Thursday, June 15.

Unfortunately, in the match, it was reported that the three mainstay players of the Garuda Squad would not be able to perform. Sandy Walsh, Jordi Alba, and Pratama Arhan are currently injured.

However, Shin still sees his team's chances of winning in the match even though it's very small. "Surely got a chance, even though the match opportunity is 70:30," he said, as quoted from Antara.

"You have to be able to finish well. If that's the case, we can win. Once again, we emphasized, we scored a goal and didn't concede, then won. For finishing we have to be more focused," added the man from South Korea.

Meanwhile, there are things that are a little different in the training sessions of the Indonesian national team. Around the training field there is a black cloth so that people outside the field cannot see the training process.

The former South Korean coach said this step was taken to help the players focus more on training. "To cover the field, my request is PSSI helps to cover the field. We have to be more focused, if it is not closed (kay) we will definitely focus on decreasing," he concluded.
