CNN Indonesia has many articles analyzing the home team's weaknesses before the match against Vietnam in the third round of Group B of the AFF Cup 2024.
Confidence in the Indonesian team shaken
CNN Indonesia has an article titled: "Indonesia's defense is fragile, will it stand a chance against Vietnam?" CNN Indonesia assessed that the home team played disappointingly, allowing Laos to score easy goals and also showing no determination in defense.
The newspaper further analyzed: "The Vietnamese team is clearly more dangerous than Laos in pressing. Kim Sang-sik's team proved this by scoring 4 goals against Laos right on the away field. The 'Golden Star Warriors' have players with good scoring instincts like Nguyen Tien Linh. Other factors like Pham Tuan Hai are also ready to spread threats. The Vietnamese team also relies on speed to score goals. This is something that the Indonesian national team must pay attention to in the upcoming match."

In addition, CNN Indonesia also analyzed the final scenario in Group B. They did not believe that coach Shin Tae-yong and his team were capable of defeating the Vietnamese team and thought that the home team would only get 7 points, finishing second in Group B. Meanwhile, CNN Indonesia affirmed that the Vietnamese team would get 12 absolute points, entering the semi-finals as the group leader. CNN Indonesia also pointed out a "bad omen" for the Indonesian team, which was that coach Shin Tae-yong had never won against the Vietnamese team in the AFF Cup (2 draws, 1 loss).
PSSI President: 'Drawing against Vietnam team is an extraordinary achievement'
Responding to Bola Sports , Mr. Erick Thohir, President of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI), highly appreciated the Vietnamese team. This billionaire shared: "Indonesian players need to be calmer when playing away and also need to minimize mistakes, avoiding repeating mistakes like in the match against Laos. I hope the players will play better in the match against the Vietnamese team. I believe coach Shin Tae-yong has clearly understood the strengths and weaknesses of the home team and will help the team come back stronger."
He added: "Once again, I would like to share that I appreciate the efforts of the players. However, when the Vietnamese team brings the strongest squad, a draw is also an extraordinary achievement. The next match against the Philippines, the goal is to draw or win. As for the match against Laos, a draw is the result I did not want at all." Finally, the former Inter Milan president called on fans to continue to encourage and motivate the Indonesian team.

The Indonesian team also suffered a major loss when Marselino Ferdinan, the number one star in the squad, was absent due to suspension. He received a direct red card after a dangerous tackle on a player from the Lao team and could not play in the match against the Vietnamese team. Coach Shin Tae-yong called on the Indonesian media to speak up to convince Utrecht to let midfielder Ivar Jenner join the Indonesian team sooner. The online community also flooded the player's personal page to call for him to join the team early. However, this is unlikely to happen. Jenner, like Justin Hubner, can only participate in the 2024 AFF Cup if the Indonesian team passes the group stage.
