Worried about their team being eliminated early from the AFF Cup, Indonesian newspaper calls for help from the Vietnamese team

(Dan Tri) - Suara (Indonesia) newspaper has asked for help from the Vietnamese team because it is afraid that the home team will be eliminated early in the AFF Cup 2024.

After a 0-1 defeat to Vietnam on December 15, Indonesia is facing the risk of being eliminated. They are ranked second in Group B with 4 points after 3 matches, 2 points more than the Philippines, Laos and 3 points more than Myanmar. However, coach Shin Tae Yong's team only has one match left to face the Philippines. Meanwhile, the Philippines and Myanmar still have 2 matches left.

That is what makes the Indonesian press and fans really worried about the fate of their team. Suppose Indonesia does not win against the Philippines in the final round, the possibility of them being eliminated is not small. In that context, Suara (Indonesia) newspaper has asked the Vietnamese team to help the home team. The newspaper wrote: "After 3 matches in Group B of the 2024 AFF Cup, Indonesia only won 4 points after winning 1, drawing 1, and losing 1 match. The Vietnamese team is leading the group with 6 points after 2 matches. They will face Indonesia's two main opponents, Myanmar and the Philippines, in the last 2 matches. Meanwhile, Indonesia only has 1 match left against the Philippines. This match could decide the fate of coach Shin Tae Yong's team. If they lose to the Philippines, Indonesia will definitely be eliminated from the 2024 AFF Cup. Even if they win, the team will still need to depend on Myanmar's results. In the case of a draw with the Philippines, Indonesia's chances of advancing will be affected.

Myanmar can definitely win 7 points if they win against Laos and Vietnam in the last two matches. That is why coach Shin Tae Yong's team needs help from Vietnam. We hope that the "Golden Dragons" can stop Myanmar in the last match. However, it is necessary for Garuda (the nickname of the Indonesian team) to focus on winning against the Philippines to have the right to self-determination". Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team only needs to win against the Philippines in the match on December 18 to win a ticket to the next round as the top team in Group B. Therefore, coach Kim Sang Sik and his team are determined to win 3 points to quickly finish the task in the group stage, creating conditions for key players to rest.
