JAKARTA Seeing the Indonesian national team fighting in the U-17 World Cup, it never actually crossed Muhammad Zein Alhadad's mind. This former national player did not even dare to dream of watching the player with the Garuda emblem on his chest playing at such a sparkling level.

But now that opportunity is coming to the eye. Indonesia was appointed to host the 2023 U-17 World Cup. This is like a dream come true. This is a golden opportunity, which will not be twice for our national team," said the coach who is taking the Coach A Pro license course.

According to Mamak, his nickname, this golden opportunity must really be used by the people of Indonesia, especially PSSI, to be further refined by the success of this performance.

At the very least, at this time we must be able to make this U-17 World Cup a success. Prove that our society really loves football and supports this performance. Also prove that our supporters can watch the match well, support the national team and the opposing team politely. Prove that our appointment is indeed feasible," said Mamak.

Not only in the field, but outside the field must also prove the readiness of Indonesia and the community in welcoming the national team from other countries.

This will be a window for Indonesia so that our football will be glimpsed by the world. It is not impossible that we will be able to hold the U-20 World Cup later. Maybe we can even present the senior team World Cup in Indonesia," said the former U-16 national team coach.

Mamak hopes that the readiness of the committee, government and PSSI in providing services will also be maximized.: We already have an extraordinary stadium and have met the standards FIFA wants. This is clearly a big asset for our country. Maybe 20 years ago, we never saw facilities like this in Indonesia, but in fact now everything is there," Mamak.

From the technical side of the game, Mamak also hopes that Bima Sakti's team can play well when appearing in the inaugural match against Ecuador U-17. "Technically, both teams are actually blind to each other's strengths, so we deserve to be able to get points in this first match," said Mamak.

The condition is Amar Brkic cs. Must appear confident. They have to focus on their own game and the strategy set by the coach. During the match, they must be able to read the opponent's game well and anticipate it. This is the most important thing," said Mamak.

Regarding technical abilities, Mamak believes that all teams are actually almost the same, because this is a junior level where the experience and insight of playing the players are also evenly distributed.

"Maybe only one or two players have better playing insights than the rest of the players. They are the ones to watch out for," said Mamak.

In the inaugural match, Mamak also believes that if Indonesia can do something, because playing in front of supporters itself will thicken the morale and enthusiasm of the players.

"The weather adaptation and field conditions are much better, plus the support of the audience, I am optimistic that Indonesia's opportunities are 55 compared to Ecuador, which is only 45 in my eyes," said Mamak.
