Ahead of the game, Shin said through Indonesian media outlet Bola, "I won't miss the last chance," adding, "I thought every game was a final, but now it's a real final."

"The players are well prepared psychologically. I will put my teamwork first to produce good results," he added.

Indonesia ranked fourth in the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup, which was held as the final Asian qualifying round for the Paris Olympics, and failed to get a direct ticket to the finals, which gave it up to third place.

However, if Guinea wins the intercontinental PO, it will brighten up the Olympic finals for the first time in 68 years since the 1956 Melbourne Games.

"It is true that the players are very tired," Shin said. "We also had better-than-expected results thanks to fans' support at the U-23 Asian Cup. If we join forces again this time, we will be able to write a new history."

"In a single match, it is important to know which team managed the condition better. We will prepare for the best performance in a given situation," he stressed.
