jpnn.com – JAKARTA – The Indonesian U-19 National Team will face Thailand in the AFF U-19 Cup final at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, East Java, Monday (29/7).
Indonesian National Team Legend, Ponaryo Astaman, assessed that the Indonesian U-19 National Team’s chances of winning are wide open when they face Thailand in the final of the ASEAN U-19 Boys Championship (AFF Cup) U-19.
According to him, if the Garuda Muda squad wants to win against Gajah War, then the players must play calmly and enjoy every match.
“Yes, the squad must appear confident. Moreover, no other national team in Southeast Asia is too dominant, so everyone’s abilities are almost equal,” Ponaryo told ANTARA in Jakarta, Monday (29/7).
The former Sriwijaya FC player said that the Indonesian U-9 National Team has the advantage as the host, so that the support of the community or spectators becomes additional energy to fight to win the final match.
Ponaryo said that Indonesian players did score many goals, but had difficulty scoring goals several times at the start, especially when playing against Malaysia in the semifinals.
Therefore, they must appear calm or not rush in carrying out the scheme and prioritize the process according to the coach’s instructions.
“Yes, the name of this tournament is, right, a process to develop their abilities as an age group, so they have to enjoy the process,” said the former General Manager (GM) of the Indonesian Professional Footballers Association (APPI).
