Indonesian team member - goalkeeper Ernando Ari revealed to the media of the archipelago about an indispensable part of the preparation process: "The first thing we do is to study the opponent's playing style and strengths in detail. The head coach will join us in dissecting the matches of the Vietnamese, Japanese and Iraqi teams, through clips available on the internet. From the videos of the opponents' matches and the analysis from the coaching staff, we will draw experience."
In Group D, Japan and Iraq are quite dominant and have a good chance of winning 2 direct tickets to the round of 16. Vietnam will likely compete for the ticket to the next round for the third-placed team with the best results. According to the media of the archipelago, Indonesia is the lowest rated team and will have a hard time getting past the group stage. However, coach Shin Tae-yong is still very confident.
