Indonesia suffered a humiliating defeat, experts criticized coach Kluivert for being 'too confident'

Coach Patrick Kluivert made his debut for the Indonesian national team with a 1-5 defeat to Australia. This was a match in which the archipelago team controlled 60% of the ball but lost heavily. Indonesian experts and media pointed out that coach Patrick Kluivert's wrong approach to the match was the reason for the home team's defeat.

Former Indonesia captain Agung Setyabudi commented: "Indonesia played too openly. They were too confident in attacking continuously and their defense was wide open for their opponents. Australia defended better, waiting for counter-attack opportunities and were very effective with 5 goals.

I think Kluivert is too confident. He let the Indonesian team attack from the start. The coach has his own tactical ideas, but here we can see the gap is too big. The freedom to attack makes the defense weak."

The Indonesian team lost heavily to Australia.

CNN Indonesia cited statistics showing that the Indonesian team dominated ball possession. In the first half, the team had many situations approaching the opponent's penalty area. However, in reality, the Southeast Asian representative's ability to create opportunities was not good. Most of the attacks were made on the two wings. Passes to Thom Haye's position were often intercepted.

"Indonesia only has the advantage of ball control, but has no effect in the match ," commented Bola.

Former Indonesia coach Rahmad Darmawan believes that his team was able to attack so much because the opponent set a trap. Coach Patrick Kluivert declared that he would play offensively against a strong opponent and did exactly that. This led to a heavy defeat when the archipelago team fell into Australia's trap.

" Australia seems to have trapped the Indonesian team into playing offensively, so that they can counterattack quickly. Looking at Australia's tactical diagram, it can be seen that they chose to defend with 5 defenders. They were prepared for this scenario. Indonesia continued to attack and accepted the risk," commented expert Rahmad Darmawan.
