MEDIA Vietnam and Malaysia are hot to see a breakthrough Shin Tae-yong from Indonesian National team finish the 2020 AFF Cup. After finishing runner-up in AFF Cup 2020, the Indonesian national team got a positive result by winning 4-1 over Timor Leste in the FIFA Matchday match, Thursday 27 January 2022 evening WIB.
True, in that match the Indonesian national team appeared less convincing. However, Pratama Arhan and his friends showed solidity in the final 30 minutes of the match, as well as scoring four goals in that period.
However, the Vietnamese media The Thao 247 issued a provocation article. He said that the Indonesian national team played poorly even though they were only faced with the weakest team in Southeast Asia, Timor Leste.
“Indonesia turned things around when they faced the weakest team in Southeast Asia,” wrote The Thao 247 in the title of their article.
“After being runner-up in the 2020 AFF Cup, the Indonesian national team played a friendly match against Timor Leste. Although judged to be of superior quality, Shin Tae-yong’s protégé was helpless and allowed Timor Leste to create many opportunities,” wrote the review of The Thao 247.
You could say, the article above is a form of envy for the different results obtained by the Indonesian and Vietnamese national teams. Because, a few hours before the match between Indonesia and Timor Leste, Golden Star – Vietnam’s nickname – also played the FIFA Matchday January 2022.
