jpnn.com, JAKARTA – Indonesian national team coach manager Shin Tae-yong apparently did not question the defeat of his foster children.
In fact, the U-19 national team lost quite badly, 0-3 from Bulgaria, Saturday (5/9) yesterday.
“It doesn’t matter even if you have to lose,” said Shin, as quoted from the official website of PSSI in Jakarta, Sunday (6/9).
The South Korean tactician emphasized that the U-19 national team is still in the process of getting better.
The performance of David Maulana and friends will be further enhanced with various training menus to be provided.
“What is clear is that the team is still in process, because the training material is high intensity and the players have shown their hard work in this match,” he said.
Meanwhile, the U-19 national team defender Bayu Mohammad Fiqri admitted that his squad lacked focus, especially in the last 15 minutes of the match so that three goals were conceded.
However, Bayu also recognized Bulgaria as a good team.
