"Shin Tae-yong Magic pays tribute to his strategy"

Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) President Eric Tohir expressed great satisfaction after advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2024 AFC Qatar U-23 Asian Cup, which was achieved by Indonesia's U-23 national soccer team coach Shin Tae-yong. Chairman Tohir, who was familiar to Korean fans because he owned Inter Milan in the past, paid tribute to Shin.

Indonesia, led by head coach Shin, beat Jordan 3-1 in the third round of Group A of the U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar, which took place at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in the early morning of the 22nd (Korean time). Indonesia succeeded in overpowering Jordan, which had only one goal, thanks to Marcelino Ferdinand in the 23rd minute, Witan Sulaman in the 40th minute, Marcelino Ferdinand's second goal in the 25th minute, and Coman Tegu's consecutive goal in the 41st minute. Thanks to the victory, Indonesia qualified for the quarterfinals of the tournament in Group A along with Qatar, the host country. 토토사이트 추천

Tohir said, "Our efforts paid off. We stopped the league, focused on the tournament, and made a lot of efforts, such as getting European clubs to cooperate with our players' call-outs. In the first match of the tournament against Qatar, there was a drama because of the referee. Fortunately, all of our efforts and results continued."

"This is proof that we can do it and that we can do it. I hope that this courage will continue to grow in the next round. The opponent team will become stronger. I hope it will motivate them to advance to the 2024 Paris Olympics," he said. "We lost in the first match against Qatar, but at that time, we played as nine players and displayed amazing performance. The players did not give up and continued to elevate their performance."

He also praised Shin. "I salute Shin's strategy. Team play has really improved thanks to Shin's strategy. It is a really good asset. However, we still have a long way to go. I hope the fans continue to support our national team," Tohir said.

Since becoming the president of the Indonesian Football Association in 2019, Tohir has had special close relations with Shin and is seeking to improve the quality of Indonesian soccer. He is one of the closest partners and supporters under Shin. Tohir has experienced the "first-ever" experience twice along with Shin. He will advance to the round of 16 at the 2023 AFC Qatar Asian Cup and the quarterfinals at this year's Asian Cup. Tohir's trust is expected to grow even stronger.
