What did the Indonesian coach say after the victory over Vietnam?
(Baonghean.vn) - After the victory over Vietnam, coach Shin Tae Yong of the Indonesian team said that his team was a bit lucky.
Speaking after the 1-0 win over Vietnam, Mr. Shin Tae Yong said: "Both teams tried their best today, this was a good match. We won thanks to a bit of luck. I would like to thank the fans for their support that helped the team have such a great performance."
Mr. Shin Tae Yong said that the Indonesian players were very determined for this match: "We are a young team, because we have many young players, so we lack experience. That is the reason why the performance in the two halves was different. The Vietnamese team changed their tactics in the second half and played better. My players are indeed inexperienced, but they are very determined, they want to win and keep the score at all costs.
Even though I am a coach, there are things I cannot control when I am on the field and can only rely on the players. And today they performed well, stronger than in previous matches."
Talking about the penalty kick situation where player number 11 (Struick) held the ball, but he directed Asnawi to take it, the Korean strategist revealed: "Yes, I think Asnawi is more confident, even though he hasn't scored before this match, he has better ball feel and finishing."
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Ernando Ari said that he and the whole team had been waiting for this victory for a long time: "I am very happy, this victory is something we have longed for. We have tried our best to get this result. Thank you to the fans who have accompanied us."
With a 1-0 victory over Vietnam, the Indonesian team has many opportunities to continue at the 2023 Asian Cup. In the next match, Shin Tae Yong and his team will face the Japanese team.
