jpnn.com – JAKARTA – The Indonesia vs Philippines National Team match in the 2024 ASEAN Cup (AFF Cup) will take place at Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java, Saturday (21/12). Indonesia needs a win to ensure they advance to the semifinals, without depending on the results of Vietnam’s match with Myanmar.
Football observer Kusnaeni said the defensive strategy against the Philippines was not the best option for the Indonesian national team.
According to Bung Kus, Mohamad Kusnaeni’s nickname, in the fourth match, Indonesian National Team Coach Shin Tae-yong (STY) does not need to use a defensive game just because he needs to at least achieve a draw to be able to advance to the semifinals and hopes that Vietnam will draw or win against Myanmar.
“So, a defensive strategy is not the best option,” said Bung Kus to ANTARA in Jakarta, Friday (20/12).
According to him, the Philippines is not as strong as Vietnam, who was Indonesia’s previous opponent.
Therefore, the game of Rafael Struick and friends does not have to be monotonous to survive in the upcoming matches.
Kusnaeni suggested simply implementing normal play to try to win and steal points to qualify for the next round.
“Keep playing normally by maintaining a balance between attack and defense,” said the senior football observer.
