Indonesian coach dissatisfied with refereeing in opening match of U23 Asian Cup
(Baonghean.vn) - Coach Shin Tae Yong of the Indonesian team expressed his frustration with the refereeing in the opening match against Qatar at the U23 Asian Cup finals.
Indonesia U23 had a difficult start to the 2024 AFC U23 Championship finals with a defeat to the host team Qatar U23. After the match, coach Shin Tae-yong was very upset about the refereeing, saying that the home team was too biased.
"In football, teams can win or lose. So first of all, I want to congratulate the Qatar U23 players. I know Qatar U23 is the host team. But we have suffered many unfavorable decisions. I know any host team will be favored by the referee, but Qatar U23 is too biased.
There were a lot of refereeing decisions throughout the game, if you look at it, it's not a football match but a comedy and it's too much. I can't say anything about the player who got the red card, I don't know what to say. Football shouldn't be played like this," coach Shin Tae-yong said.
In this match, Mr. Shin Tae-yong's students received two red cards. Talking about this, the captain of the Indonesian team said: "Our first red card had no impact at all.
Why don't they use VAR in situations like this? Fans watched this match on TV. If refereeing like this happened in Indonesia, it would be considered a joke.
I certainly couldn't sleep after Indonesia U23 lost to Qatar U23. In a tournament for young people, such things should not have happened. AFC needs to intervene," Mr. Shin added.
This defeat greatly affects U23 Indonesia's chances of advancing. In the next match, if they lose to U23 Australia and U23 Qatar defeats U23 Jordan, coach Shin Tae-yong and his team will be eliminated./.
