JAKARTA - The Indonesian national team has a chance to meet South Korea if they can qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup quarter-finals.
This opportunity could be realized if the Garuda Squad was able to beat Australia and South Korea to silence Saudi Arabia in the round of 16.
However, the realization was not easy. Shin Tae-yong also agreed with that.
The Indonesian national team coach has even predicted that the dominance will be held by Australia. Even so, he believes his squad can look surprising.
"I think there is a possibility Australia will dominate more. About 70 to 30 for them."
"I'm happy if there is a miracle coming to us because this party is not easy. The opponent is very strong. However, we have a strong mentality and don't give up easily."
"We will focus on the match for 90 minutes until the referee blows the long whistle. We will do our best," said Shin Tae-yong in a press conference session on Saturday, January 27, 2024.
Even though Australia's paper is superior, the South Korean coach believes anything can happen in football.
Moreover, he has the motivation to meet South Korea in the 2023 Asian Cup quarter-finals.
"I see South Korea vs Saudi Arabia may dominate 60 to 40. I look forward to meeting South Korea in the quarter-finals," he said.
Shin Tae-yong's enthusiasm to go further in this knockout phase will certainly be transmitted to the Indonesian national team players.
