Coach U-22 Indonesian National Team Indra Sjafri explained attendance Shin Tae Yong in the semifinal match of the 2023 SEA Games.

Shin, who is the coach of the senior Indonesian National Team, was one of the spectators in the stands at the Olympic Stadium, Saturday (13/5) afternoon. Shin was present with the assistant coach of the Indonesian National Team.

Indra explained that Shin’s arrival was unknown to him until the figure from South Korea was seen at the stadium.

“I met with coach Shin and I just found out that he was present this afternoon on the field and we said hello,” said Indra.

The former coach of the U-19 Indonesian National Team also answered Shin’s influence and role in the team he is currently managing at the 2023 SEA Games.

“As for coach Shin’s role, I think he is working in Indonesian football, meaning he is a person who plays a role in Indonesian football,” said Indra.

Seen from the stands, Shin smiled as he saw the success of the U-22 Indonesian National Team in defeating Vietnam and advancing to the top party.

Regarding the U-22 Indonesian National Team which will compete in the final, Indra emphasized his desire to get players who are ready.

“Of course from match to match we always want the players to be ready. That’s why I told the Ketum PSSI we need an additional team, namely a team of psychologists, those who help me manage the mentality of the players in addition to heart-to-heart communication with the players that I do.”

“We are ready to fight whoever wins to go to the final,” he said.
