Shin Tae-yong, head coach of Indonesia’s national team, admitted that the match against Australia will be pretty difficult because they are the chosen team for this tournament.
Indonesia has created history after being the latest team entering the round of 16 in this tournament as a 4th of 4 best 3rd ranking teams.
“It will be quite a difficult match because the Australian team is one of the strongest teams in Asia where they have strength in terms of ‘strength & power.’ Tae-yong said.
“But we have good preparations, and we will show ‘good energy’ from the young players, so I hope tomorrow’s match will be interesting.”
“We have a 30% chance of winning with Australia, while South Korea has a 40% chance of winning with Saudi Arabia.”
“So I hope we can win and Korea Republic can also win so we can meet in the quarter-finals.”
In addition, Pratama Arhan, defender of the Indonesia national team from Suwon FC, said that he and his teammates are getting ready to face Australia.
“The team’s preparation is quite good at the moment, and each player will follow what the head coach has planned,” Pratama said.
“We have also prepared mentally and physically, and we guarantee that we will give our best performance in tomorrow’s match,”
