JAKARTA - The U-22 Indonesian national team will play the second match of the 2023 SEA Games Group A by facing Myanmar. The match will take place on Thursday, May 4 the day after tomorrow at the Olympic Stadium, Phnom Penh.

This schedule is considered quite profitable for the Garuda Nusantara squad. The reason is, Indonesia has longer preparation time than their opponent, Myanmar.

This big advantage was also recognized by the U-22 national team player, Beckham Putra.

"We are preparing for longer. We have a five-day gap and that is an advantage for us, because Myanmar only takes a one-day break," Beckham Putra was quoted as saying from a video uploaded by PSSI on the federation's YouTube account, Tuesday, May 2.

"So this is a big advantage for us to take advantage of that opportunity," he continued.

The Persib Bandung player also said that apart from being lucky because he had longer preparation times, the U-22 national team was also increasingly confident because of their excellent condition so far.

Despite being confident in the team, Beckham said that the team would not be careless by taking potential opponents lightly. As additional preparation, the team will undergo a moment of evaluation of the previous match against the Philippines in order to improve their performance later.

"We will also evaluate yesterday's match, what was lacking and what had to be improved," he added.

Myanmar itself will only undergo its inaugural match on Tuesday, May 2. This moment will be used by the U-22 national team to monitor how the opponent's candidate will play. That way, Beckham hopes that this will be the way so that the national team can get the victory in the second match.

"We have to prepare ourselves as well as possible and hopefully we can run well and get a win later," said Beckham Putra.
