KALLANG – Coach Indonesian National Team, Shin Tae-yong, ready to field Egy Maulana Vikri in the match against Singapore in the second leg of the semifinals AFF Cup 2020. Egy’s presence is certainly expected to help the Indonesian national team gain sweet results after only playing a draw with Singapore in the first leg.
As is known, the Indonesian national team drew 1-1 with Singapore in the first leg. The match took place at the Singapore National Stadium, Kallang, Wednesday (12/22/2021) night WIB.
The Garuda squad – the nickname of the Indonesian National Team – took the lead through Witan Sulaeman’s kick. However, the position became a draw after Ikhsan Fandi scored a goal in the 70th minute.
The Indonesian national team itself appeared to attack in the first half. However, in the second half, the tempo of their game seemed to decrease until the attack began to slacken.
This condition made the Indonesian national team conceded a goal in the second half and failed to win. In order to qualify for the top party, Indonesia must work hard in the second leg match.
Egy Maulana Vikri can also be an alternative so that the front line for the Indonesian national team is sharper and more creative. However, Shin Tae-yong will also see the condition of the other players’ readiness.
Although Egy could be additional ammunition for Indonesia in winning the second leg, the South Korean coach didn’t want to think that the player was more special than the others. For him, all players are equal in front of him and no one should feel like a star player.
