Trainer Indonesia U-20 National Team Shin Tae Yong leaked his team’s weakness after defeating Cakallikli Spor.
The Indonesian U-20 national team defeated the Turkish club 2-1 in a test match in Antalya, Turkey, Monday (24/10). Despite winning, Shin Tae Yong believes that there are still shortcomings from his students.
The two weaknesses seen by Shin Tae Yong are pressing and possession. According to him, Marcelino Ferdinand and friends still often lose the ball.
“So the weakness at this time is when they lose the ball, they like to stand still. Our players should be pressing so that the opponent doesn’t get a good chance or counterattack,” said Shin Tae-yong in a statement on the PSSI official website.
The South Korean coach wants the mindset of the Indonesian U-20 national team players to change in their attitude if they lose the ball. He asked his players to try to get the ball if it was out of control.
“So the players until now still lose the ball, they don’t press. It has to be fixed slowly. And the weaknesses are also slowly being fixed,” he said.
On the one hand, the 52-year-old coach still sees positive developments made by Ronaldo Kwateh and his colleagues. Shin Tae Yong aims to increase physical strength and basic skills in processing the ball while the Indonesian U-20 national team is in Turkey.
“So all this time there has been physical training from now on. Indeed, the focus is on basic skills and passing, yes. Today has also started testing and so the focus is more on the match,” said Shin Tae Yong.
