Coach Kluivert wants Indonesia to regain face in the match against Bahrain

Coach Kluivert had a disastrous debut against Indonesia when his team lost 1-5 to Australia. This defeat made the door to the next round for the team of thousands of islands narrower. In addition, coach Kluivert was also asked to be fired by Indonesian fans.

Speaking to the media after the loss to Australia, coach Kluivert said: “I am satisfied with the players’ fighting spirit and work attitude. If we look at the goals conceded due to individual mistakes, we need to fix them and that is normal.”

After the defeat to Australia, Indonesia will have a very important match against Bahrain. Coach Kluivert emphasized: "We need to work hard in the next five days and try to achieve a good result against Bahrain. But first, we have to analyze this match."

After 7 matches, Indonesia and Bahrain have 6 points each, but the Southeast Asian representative is temporarily ranked 4th thanks to a better goal difference. If Indonesia wants to keep their hopes of advancing, they must win against Bahrain in the match taking place on March 25. In the first leg, the two teams drew 2-2.
