JAKARTA - The coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-Yong, appreciated the mentality of his team when they appeared against Burundi. The praise was made because the Garuda Squad managed to work together to avoid defeat.
"Mentally, we are good, we didn't give up until the end. I appreciate the players for their mental strength," said Shin after the game.
In the second FIFA Matchday match at the Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium, Bekasi on Tuesday, March 28, the Indonesian national team performed optimally. This was evident from the final result against Burundi which ended with a score of 2-2.
Jordi Amat's goal in the extra minute of the second half saved the hosts from defeat.
Shin praised his team's struggle for continuing to take advantage of opportunities even though there was very little time left. Praise was also given because the players remained enthusiastic even though they appeared during the month of Ramadan.
"Today the players worked hard as a whole, many players were fasting so they looked tired too but they played well," said the coach from South Korea.
From this match, Shin Tae-yong also admitted that he found positive things in his team's performance. He admits that he just needs to polish the team's mentality a little more to be able to compete at a higher level.
"So during these two matches, I found some positive things. Just a little more about the mentality, we can definitely become an Asian-level team. Not only ASEAN," he said.
