JAKARTA - Indonesia U-17 coach, Bima Sakti, asked his team to perform optimally when the U-17 Morocco opponent on Thursday, November 16, 2023, at Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya.

On the appearance on the third matchday of Group A, the coach reminded the squad to reduce individual mistakes.

"We have to be quick counter press. We will press them (Maroko U-17) so they cannot develop. However, again, the players must do that well, just reduce individual mistakes," said Bima Sakti, quoted from an official statement on Thursday, November 16.

The meeting with Morocco U-17 will be a moment of life for Garuda Muda to secure a ticket to qualify for the round of 16.

Currently, the Garuda Muda squad is stuck in third place in Group A standings with two points from the draw against Ecuador's U-17 and Panama's U-17.

The entire team from this group still has the opportunity to advance to the round of 16. To strengthen the steps to lock the ticket, Indonesia U-17 must win over Morocco U-17.

No wonder, for the target of three points over Morocco U-17, Bima Sakti asked any player entering the starter to perform optimally. Moreover, the coach has also pocketed the opponent's weakness.

"Whoever is trusted, they (players) will appear 100 percent to secure qualify for the knockout stages," he said.

They (Maroko U-17) have their own weaknesses and strengths. The Morocco U-17 game organization is good and smart. Counter attack (backlash) is also very fast," explained the coach.

Apart from that effort, Bima Sakti still asked his team to respect the opponent. Prayers and support are also expected by the coach from the supporters to smooth the team's appearance to achieve the winning target.

"We see Morocco U-17 a good team. We must not consider Morocco an U-17 under Ecuador's U-17 or Panama U-17. They are all the same," said the Milky Way.

"Please pray for the Indonesian football community who watch live or television because this is an important match. We hope to qualify for the next phase," said the coach.
