TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Shin Tae-yong, the coach of the Indonesian national football team, is confident that the Garuda team will perform well when facing hosting team Myanmar in the opening match of the 2024 ASEAN Cup, formerly known as the AFF Cup. The game will take place at Thuwunna Stadium, Yangon, on Monday, December 9, this evening at 7:30 p.m.
The South Korean tactician sees an opportunity for the Indonesian team to secure a win tonight despite U-20 players dominating the team composition, while senior players strengthen Myanmar’s team.
Indonesia has also won three consecutive matches against the Asian Lions.
"There is definitely a chance to win, we are confident," said Shin Tae-yong while leading the team's training in Myanmar, a day before the first match of the ASEAN Cup, as quoted from the official Instagram of the Indonesian national team on Monday, as reported by Antara.
Shin Tae-yong reckons Myanmar, backed by seasoned players, is stronger and is the favored team in the upcoming match despite being ranked 167–42 placement below Indonesia.
The coach, however, believes victory is highly possible if the Garuda team plays well tonight.
"They may be the stronger team, [but] we are preparing meticulously," said the 54-year-old coach. "The most important thing is we can perform well if we can adeptly prepare the team’s organization and prepare everything thoroughly," he said.
Both Myanmar and Indonesia have never snatched the Southeast Asia-level championship title. Indonesia managed to become runner-up six times (2000, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2016, and 2020), while Myanmar has been a semifinalist twice, in 2004 and 2016.
