TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian Women's National Team Coach Satoru Mochizuki has set a target for his players: to become one of the best teams in Asian women's football. This ambitious goal follows the Garuda Pertiwi Squad's success in reaching the 2024 AFF Women's Cup final against Cambodia.
“I believe that our journey to the final shows the strength of this team. Our target is to ascend to the top in Asia, and ultimately, to qualify for the World Cup,” he said, as quoted by the official page of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) on Thursday, December 5, 2024.
Satoru did not deny that Claudia Scheunemann and her friends experienced fatigue, especially after a one-month training camp. “But similarly, our opponents (Cambodia) will also be experiencing the same,” he said.
The Indonesian Women's National Team secured their place in the final of the 2024 AFF Women's Cup with a convincing 3-0 victory over Singapore in the semifinal match held at the New Laos National Stadium on Monday, December 2, 2024. “I must acknowledge that Singapore performed very well,” he said.
"We had difficulty finding our attacking rhythm. They played well. However, in such a situation, our players could still manage to score goals and secure the victory. I am very grateful for the players’ efforts,” said Satoru as quoted from the kitagaruda.id page.
Despite this victory, Coach Satoru remains committed to continuous improvement. “I want to forget today's match. I envision a renewed team, reinvigorated and ready to embark on a fresh journey, starting anew. From the outset, our big goal has been to reach the final and become champions,” he declared.
The final match against Cambodia will take place at the New Laos National Stadium on Thursday, December 5, 2024. This match presents a golden opportunity for the Garuda Pertiwi Squad to etch their names in history. The squad has maintained an undefeated record throughout the tournament, securing three consecutive victories in the Group B phase. The Indonesian Women's National Team then managed to beat Singapore in the semifinals.
