Indonesia, which advanced to the U23 Asian Cup finals for the first time in history, advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Australia and Jordan in the group stage, and advanced to the semifinals by beating Korea in a penalty shootout.

After the game, coach Shin Tae-yong said, “We played a good game. “It’s unfortunate, but Uzbekistan played a better game and won,” he said after admitting defeat, adding, “The players overall were very nervous and could not play as well as they could. “That part is the most disappointing,” he said.

But Indonesia's challenges are not over yet. 16 teams will participate in this tournament, which also serves as an Asian regional qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics men's soccer.

Indonesia, which is aiming to advance to the Olympic finals for the first time in 68 years since the 1956 Melbourne Games, will clash with Iraq on May 3 for third place and direct passage to the Olympics. Coach Shin said, “We will prepare better for the Iraq game so we can advance to the Olympics,” and added, “The players and myself have strong faith in our ability to participate in the Olympics. “All of the players are confident in themselves,” he said, expressing confidence. He added, “The players are exhausted after playing five games, so we will first get a good rest and then prepare well for the Iraq game.” 온라인 슬롯
