SEA Games 2021: Calling Irresponsible, Shin Tae-yong No Longer Relying On These 3 Indonesian National Team Players? : Okezone Ball

COACH Indonesian National Team U-23, Shin Tae-yongwent berserk after his team lost 0-1 to the Thailand U-23 national team in the semifinals SEA Games 2021, Thursday 19 May 2022 in the afternoon WIB. The thing that made Shin Tae-yong annoyed was that a number of his players failed to keep their emotions in check, so they were punished with a red card by the referee who led the match, Yahya Ali Al Mulla.

After Thailand scored a goal in the 93rd minute of extra time via Weerathep Pomphan, the U-23 Indonesian National Team was under pressure. The attack of the U-23 Indonesian National Team seemed rushed.

In a lagging position, the emotions of the Indonesian U-23 national team players are also more easily provoked by the opponent. The peak occurred at the end of the game.

At that time in a counter-attacked position, the left fullback of the Indonesian U-23 National Team, Firza Andika, fired a kick towards the stomach of the Thai striker, Patrik Gustavsson. Without thinking, the referee from the United Arab Emirates who led the match immediately issued a red card to Firza Andika.

When the Thai players tried to surround Firza Andika, Rachmat Irianto threw the ball and hit one of the Thai players’ heads. After throwing the ball, Rachmat Irianto was seen squeezing the neck of one of the Thai players.

The same thing was done by another U-23 Indonesian national team midfielder, Ricky Kambuaya. As a result, Ricky Kambuaya and Rachmat Irianto followed Firza Andika’s footsteps by receiving a red card from the referee.

“To be honest today I am very disappointed in the players. I can still understand if I get a yellow card or an accumulation of cards. However, this is not fair play because I got a red card,” Shin Tae-yong said in a press conference after the match.

“I see these players have no responsibilities as players and it’s a shame, especially since many get red cards,” said Shin Tae-yong full of emotion.

If Ricky Kambuaya and Rachmat Irianto were no longer relied on by Shin Tae-yong, it would be a shame. Because, these two Persib Bandung players were mainstay players for the Indonesian national team when they qualified for the 2020 AFF Cup final.

Interesting awaits the decision of what Shin Tae-yong takes. Nearby, Indonesian National team will play in the third round of the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers which will take place in Kuwait on 8-14 June 2022.
