COACH of Malaysian origin, King Isa, is optimistic Indonesian National team beat Vietnam in the third matchday of Group B AFF Cup 2020, Wednesday 15 December 2021. Even without Elkan Baggott who had to undergo a five-day quarantine due to a plane with a positive passenger for Covid-19, King Isa saw that the Indonesian national team had the qualities to overthrow Vietnam.
Losing Elkan Baggott is a big blow for the Indonesian national team. Because, the coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong, from the start would rely on Elkan Baggott to withstand the onslaught of Vietnam and Malaysia in the final two matches of Group B of the 2020 AFF Cup.
(Elkan Baggott is officially absent from the Indonesia vs Vietnam national team match)
Proof Elkan Baggott Willing to make a big contribution to the Indonesian national team was seen when the 196-centimeter tall defender came down in the second half of the match against Laos on Sunday, December 12, 2021 afternoon WIB.
At that time, Elkan Baggott went down in the second half in the condition that the Indonesian national team was winning 2-1. After the English defender entered, the Indonesian national team scored three goals to win 5-1.
Unfortunately, Elkan Baggott couldn’t get off. Even so, Raja Isa, who has handled a number of Indonesian League clubs such as Persipura Jayapura to PSM Makassar, sees that there is a gap that the Indonesian national team from Vietnam can take advantage of.
For your information, Vietnam did win 3-0 over Malaysia on the second matchday of Group B of the 2020 AFF Cup, Sunday 12 December 2021 evening WIB. However, Vietnam’s performance at that time tended to decline, especially in the second half.
