“Shin Tae-yong just said that the children still have to be motivated like what Singapore has shown, and that is the big hope of the coach, technical director, they must have enthusiasm,” said Yunus.

In addition to enthusiasm, PSSI also helped Shin Tae-yong to mentally pump Asnawi Mangkualam cs ahead of his final match against Thailand. Moreover, several Indonesian national team players, many of whom are young and have minimal international flight hours.

“We hope that most of them have just followed this AFF, and for them they also consider this a normal thing in matches. They are not nervous, they are able to get through the first leg, and the second leg can give their best,” he explained.

Despite all that, Yunus is optimistic that the progress of Garuda Muda under Shin Tae-yong’s tutelage can pick up the winning momentum after being runner-up in the AFF Cup five times before. He also asked the Indonesian national team players to focus on technical abilities, and to put aside non-technical matters, such as the leadership of referees, who had often been in the spotlight in the three previous Indonesian national team matches.

“We don’t think in that direction, we know FIFA AFC including the AFF have been hard on this and this is very taboo in the AFF, FIFA AFC so we don’t think about it too much. We believe, be it match equipment, center referee, assistant referee then those in it, including our players, are optimistic that they are far from something like that,” he explained.

The Indonesian national team will face Thailand in the 2020 AFF Cup final which will take place twice. The first match of the AFF Cup final will be held on Wednesday 29 December 2021 and the second match on Saturday 1 January 2022. These two matches will be held at the National Stadium in Singapore.
