Jakarta –
Indonesian National Team Coach, Shin Tae-yong claimed to have received a special order from President Jokowi. What is that command?
Shin Tae-yong quite impressive to bring Indonesian National team competed in the 2020 AFF Cup. Even though the Garuda squad had to lose to Thailand in the final match, the young people played brilliantly.
Call it Pratama Arhan, a 20-year-old left-back who was asked to be the best young player. Witan Sulaeman, who operates as a midfield general, is not awkward even though he is still 20 years old.
Asnawi Mangkualam, became the captain even though he was only 22 years old. It seems, the future Indonesian National team looks bright.
