BEFORE SEA Games 2021, Indonesian National Team U-23 practice at Bai Bang Square, Phong Chau, Phu Ninh district, Vietnam, Wednesday (4/5/2022) local time. The exercise didn’t seem to be going as expected.
This is because the distance from Bai Bang Field to the SEA Games football sports venue, Viet Tri Stadium, Phu Tho, Vietnam, is 18 km. On the other hand, Vietnam exercises in the courtyard next to the Viet Tri Stadium.
Please note, the U-23 Indonesian National Team will face Vietnam in the opening match of Group A of the 2021 SEA Games, Friday 6 May 2022, at 19.00 WIB. The match will take place at the Viet Tri Stadium.
In addition, the U-23 Indonesian National Team Coach, Shin Tae-yong, also complained about the poor condition of the Bai Bang Field. According to Shin Tae-yong, Bai Bang Field does not have good grass and is not of international standard.
“The condition of the players so far is very good and they are ready to play their first match against Vietnam,” said Shin Tae-yong, quoted from PSSI’s official website, Wednesday (4/5/2022).
“However, the condition of the pitch we used for training today the grass is not good and is not suitable for today’s modern football,” he continued.
Nevertheless, the Garuda Squad continued to train diligently to face the home team. Shin Tae-yong said his team was focused on finalizing the strategy for the match against Vietnam.
“Today we started training on the field because last night was only a conditional exercise after arriving here. We practiced execution or set-piece schemes, and continued to finalize tactics and strategies,” concluded Shin.
