Shin Tae-yong, Who Made New History in Indonesian Soccer

Asian Cup Shin Tae-yong, Who Made New History in Indonesian Soccer, "Next Scenario? Quarterfinal Clash with Korea!"

“My next scenario? It’s a great match against Korea in the quarterfinals!”

Coach Shin Tae-yong, who led Indonesia to the round of 16 of the Asian Cup for the first time in history, is preparing for his second miracle.

Indonesia took the 'last train' to the round of 16 at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup.

In this competition, 24 teams are divided into 6 groups and play in the group stage, and the 1st, 2nd, and 4 teams with the best 3rd place in each group advance to the round of 16.

Indonesia's fate, which confirmed its third place in Group D on the 24th (local time), was to depend on the results of the Group F match between Oman and Kyrgyzstan on the 25th.

Indonesia could only advance to the round of 16 if this game ended in a draw, and that became reality.

Coach Shin said in an interview on the 26th, "I watched the game with great eagerness.

Kyrgyzstan and Oman are in the same group in the North and Central America World Cup qualifiers, and Kyrgyzstan won 1-0 in a meeting not long ago (last November).

“I thought Kyrgyzstan would not lose easily.

I thought there was a possibility of a draw with odds of 5 to 5.”

In the 35th minute of the second half, Kyrgyzstan scored an equalizer to make it 1-1, and the game ended like that.

Coach Shin was very anxious until the final whistle sounded after 1-1 days.

Director Shin said, “Honestly, I think I was more stressed than when I coached in Korea.

“It was really hard,” he said, sighing heavily.

Coach Shin has produced many unexpected results, such as the victory over Germany at the 2018 Russia World Cup.

This is why modifiers such as ‘unjang’ and ‘nannom’ are added to his name.

This time, again, the needle is pierced. In the end, the seemingly slim possibility of passing the level was made a reality.

However, it is coach Shin who has done the difficult work of raising the 'skill' of the Indonesian national team to a level where good luck can be expected.

He is at the Indonesian league level.

He confessed that there were many difficulties in raising the national team's strength due to this low level.

Coach Shin said, "If you look at the data from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the Indonesian league is ranked about 6th in Southeast Asia and 23rd in all of Asia," and "the league itself is weak."

“It was disappointing that the national team was inherently unable to grow quickly,” he said.

He continued, "The Indonesian Football Association supported me fully.

I am really grateful. However, the player's skills were not something I could do anything about.

That part was difficult."

Shin Tae-yong takes on the challenge of creating new history again.

At 8:30 pm on the 28th, they will compete to advance to the quarterfinals against Australia, one of the 'champion candidates'.

If they defeat Australia, there is a possibility of meeting Korea in the quarterfinals.

Korea will face Saudi Arabia in the round of 16.

Director Shin loudly shouted that he would not back down and would try to hit them hard.

He said, "We are ranked 146th in the FIFA rankings, and Australia (25th) and Korea (23rd) are top 30 teams.

There is a significant difference in skill," and "It may not be easy to hit a rock with an egg, but we will be able to play in the tournament."

“A single mistake can determine the outcome of the game,” he said.

He said emphatically, "If we play well against Australia and get a good result, and Korea also does well against Saudi Arabia, I want to have a great match with Korea in the quarterfinals.

That's my next scenario."

Director Shin Tae-yong did not forget to say words of encouragement to the Taegeuk warriors, who were also his former students.

The Korean national team, led by coach Jürgen Klinsmann, advanced to the round of 16 by finishing second in Group E after repeated poor performances.

The voices of fans criticizing the performance are loud.

Coach Shin said, "Teams as good as Korea prepare for the tournament by focusing on the tournament rather than the group stage.

For Korea, the tournament really starts," adding, "I hope we focus more and prepare better.

We won't disappoint the soccer fans." “He said.
