The 3-3 draw last night (December 12) was the first time the Indonesian team conceded 3 goals in a match against Laos. In all 3 losing situations, the defense of the archipelago team was easily defeated. This has made the Indonesian media worried in the context of coach Shin Tae-yong's team about to play the Vietnamese team.
Indonesia 3-3 Laos
"In this match, the Indonesian team struggled against Laos' counter-attacks. The weakness in transitioning from attack to defense was disappointing.
"The Indonesian players made Laos' attacks and goals look easy. Their determination to close down the space in defense when attacked by the opponent was also up to expectations," CNN Indonesia commented.
The young Indonesian players clearly showed their inexperience when dealing with Laos' counter-attacks. They did not compete well and did not choose positions to mark people and control the space in the defense effectively.
The Indonesian team (red shirt) conceded 3 goals against Laos right at home.
This weakness of Indonesia can be exploited by the Vietnamese team in the upcoming match between the two teams on December 15. That is an away match for Indonesia. Meanwhile, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team have plenty of time to rest and study their opponents carefully before coming up with a countermeasure.
CNN Indonesia further analyzed: " Obviously, this needs to be fixed if the Indonesian team wants to get good results when playing against Vietnam. The Vietnamese team is of course stronger than Laos in applying pressure.
Coach Kim Sang-sik's team proved their strength by scoring four goals against Laos. The "Golden Star Warriors" have sharp goal scorers like Nguyen Tien Linh. Pham Tuan Hai is also a dangerous factor. The Vietnamese team is a team that relies heavily on speed to score goals."
Despite their poor defense, Indonesia's defenders make up for their attacking prowess with their ability to score goals. Pratama Arhan is still very dangerous with throw-ins aimed straight at the goal. Meanwhile, Kadek Arel, Asnawi Mangkualam and Muhammad Ferrari - 3 defenders - have scored all 4 goals for the archipelago team at the AFF Cup 2024 so far. This is also a detail that the Vietnamese team needs to pay attention to.
