"However, everything can happen in 90 minutes and everything starts with a score of 0-0. We are ready, although the challenges are not easy," he continued.

According to Erick, the Indonesian national team continues to show positive developments. Even though it is inhabited by the world level team.

"Even though we know that this Asian Cup is inhabited by ngara, the level is already in the world. This is clearly a challenge as well as our opportunity to further increase the level of the national team's game," said Erick.
