In the opening match of the 2023 Asian Cup, the Indonesian team lost 1-3 to Iraq. Although the performance of the archipelago team was better than before, they also revealed many weaknesses.
According to Bola , coach Shin Tae Yong's team is still weak in ball control and game planning. The players' poor ball handling ability makes them prone to individual mistakes.
The Indonesian newspaper commented: "After the loss to Iraq, the Indonesian team needs to minimize individual mistakes. Mistakes appear quite often and cause danger. For example, when Iraq opened the score, Marselino took a long time to dribble the ball.
Jordi Amat also lost the ball many times. This created conditions for the Iraqi team to launch extremely dangerous counter-attacks."
In addition, Bola newspaper said that the Indonesian players' mentality was problematic. They could not keep calm when playing football. The forward players showed impatience and wasted many opportunities.
The newspaper added: "Many dangerous attacks were cut off because the front line made too many bad passes. Only when this problem is improved, the Indonesian team will be more fearsome and 'threatening' the opponent's goal."
The match against Indonesia is of great significance to the Vietnamese team. If they want to continue, Coach Troussier and his team need to win before achieving a favorable result in the final match against Iraq.
In recent years, the Vietnamese team has often won when meeting Indonesia. In the last 6 matches, the "Golden Star Warriors" have been undefeated against this opponent (won 3, drew 3). In the most recent meeting at the AFF Cup 2022, the Vietnamese team won 2-0.
The match between Vietnam and Indonesia will take place at 9:30 p.m. on January 19.
