Coach Shin is ashamed of Indonesia's poor finishing

The match at Rizal Memorial, which ended on the evening of January 2, was not enough to help Indonesia win the top spot in Group A. Despite having the same 10 points as Thailand, Indonesia only finished second due to a poor goal difference (+9 vs +11). . Coach Shin Tae-yong assessed the ability of poor students to take advantage of opportunities, leading to failure to achieve the goal.

Coach Shin Tae-yong said that from the opening match against Cambodia, Indonesia squandered three to four opportunities. In the match against Thailand, the Indonesian player had two unbelievable misses when there was only an empty goal in front of him. "After each game, I emphasize that Indonesia can score more goals if they take advantage of the opportunity," the Korean coach shared.

In the match against the Philippines, Indonesia faced difficulties when playing on artificial turf. The team of thousands of islands finished 20 times, but only 7 times in the direction of the goal, and scored two goals thanks to Marselino Ferdinan and Dendy Sulistyawan.
