Responding To The Match Against Argentina, Shin Tae-yong: Not A Entertainment Match

JAKARTA - The coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, emphasized his views on the FIFA Matchday match against Argentina. The South Korean coach said this match was not just an entertainment match.

"Mengap pertandingan ini sebagai hiburan, itu sebenarnya pemikiran yang sedikit salah," kata Shin Tae-yong.

This statement was made by Shin Tae-yong when asked about whether Lionel Messi's absence in the match would affect the entertainment aspect of the match that would take place.

Still on the same occasion, the 52-year-old coach explained that this FIFA Matchday moment will be focused on improving the quality of the team. So whether or not Messi will not be too twisted by Shin Tae-yong, especially for him, this is a great opportunity because he can compete with the 2022 World Cup winners.

"We certainly focus on the game, yes, not entertainment. Moreover, this is the Argentine team which certainly doesn't just rely on Lionel Messi,"

The name is also the team that is ranked 1st FIFA, definitely the entire Argentine national team player will be good. In football, it's like that, not just because one team player will not become world champion," he said.

The Argentine national team will undergo the second agenda of the June edition of the FIFA Matchday by facing the Indonesian national team at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium. In the match which was held on Monday, June 19, the star player, Lionel Messi, was certainly not present.

Not only Messi, but Lionel Scaloni's team will also not be strengthened by Angel Di Maria and Nicolas Otamendi. The three names were absent from the coach's permission to give them an early holiday.
