Match Preview
Iraq, which is already well-known as a team with brilliant performances in this competition among young players across Asia, will be a serious test for the U-20 Indonesian National Team.
However, both teams faced obstacles with Uzbekistan’s unusually cold weather. The U-20 Indonesian national team has adapted to the weather and tried to improve their finishing, but they were faced with a practice field that was less than ideal.
Meanwhile, Iraq’s obstacle was the number of important players who were absent because they were playing in European competitions and were needed by their respective clubs.
However, both are still determined to achieve the best results in this event. The U-20 Indonesian national team aims to appear as much as possible to improve their quality as the host for the 2023 U-20 World Cup.
On the other hand, Iraq must reach the top four positions at the U-20 Asian Cup to qualify for the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia which will be held in May 2023. Iraq U-20 coach, Emad Mohammed, said that they are working hard to achieving these goals and also dreaming of winning titles and adding new achievements to Iraqi football.
On the other hand, Shin Tae-yong, coach of the U-20 Indonesian National Team, admitted that finishing was the main problem for his team. Even so, he is optimistic that his team has made significant progress and is ready to show their best at the U-20 Asian Cup.
According to the coach from South Korea, Indonesian football fans must be annoyed when they see that the U-20 Indonesian national team often wastes opportunities, and this must be corrected immediately.
Even though Iraq is superior to the U-20 Indonesian National Team, the first match in Group A will not be easy for both of them. Both teams will try their best to achieve victory and fulfill their goals in this event.
For the U-20 Indonesian National Team, victory in the first match will be an important capital to face further matches at the 2023 U-20 Asian Cup.
