INDOSPORT.COM – Myanmar coach named Antoine Hey was very disappointed after his team were battered at the hands of host Singapore in the inaugural match of Group A of the 2020 AFF Cup.
Playing at the National Stadium, Sigapura on Sunday (05/12/21) night WIB, Myanmar had to swallow the bitter pill because they lost to Singapore with a score of 3-0.
Three goals for Singapore were scored by defender Safuwan Baharudin (34′) and a brace from Ikhsan Fandi (39′ and 45+1′).
The result made Singapore perched in first position in Group A standings ahead of Thailand on aggregate. Meanwhile, Myanmar had to be stuck in the caretaker position.
After the match against Singapore was over, Antoine Hey immediately spoke up. He assessed that the cause of the defeat was due to the team’s lack of preparation, including trials.
Ahead of the 2020 AFF Cup, Myanmar has only had a friendly match against the Indonesian national team on Thursday (12/25/21). In that match, they were beaten 1-4 by Shin Tae-yong’s troops.
“There is a lack of test matches, because the last league game in Myanmar was in October 2020,” Hey said affsuzukicup.
“We knew the players didn’t have the rhythm they should have and that cost us the first 45 minutes,” he added.
