Inp.polri.go.id - Doha.  As Indonesia prepares to face off against Australia in the AFC Asian Cup, national team coach Shin Tae-yong acknowledged the challenge ahead. He emphasized the physical strength of the Australian team, branding them as one of the tournament's powerhouses, antaranews.com reported. "Tomorrow won't be easy, especially considering Australia is one of the strongest teams in the Asian Cup. They possess strong physical attributes, and that will be their advantage," Coach Shin remarked. With just one day remaining before the match, he has planned the team's preparations to ensure they enter the game in peak condition. After a brief break, the Garuda squad has already completed their second day of training at Al Egla 2 Field in Doha. Coach Shin is optimistic that his team will exhibit a spirited performance against Graham Arnold's squad at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium. "We have good preparations and will show an energetic display from the players tomorrow," he asserted. Drawing from his experience, Coach Shin noted Australia's tendency to emphasize attacking play, with their aggressive style catching his attention. To counter Australia's strengths, he emphasized the need for the Indonesian national team to match them in other aspects, particularly focusing on mental strength and fighting spirit. While acknowledging the tough challenge, Coach Shin did not rule out the possibility of a positive outcome if luck favors his team. "I would be very happy if another miracle comes our way. I believe we have a chance to defeat Australia and perhaps meet South Korea in the next round," he said. (mg/inp/pr/nm) According to the tournament draw, should Indonesia overcome Australia and advance to the quarter-finals, they could potentially face South Korea, provided South Korea defeats Saudi Arabia in the Round of 16.
