Indonesia vs Thailand
In the middle of this week Indonesia will again appear on GBK to entertain Thailand. They met on the second week of Group G which was held on Tuesday (9/10) night. The national team is trying to win three points after reaching a minor result in the opening week.
Yes, Indonesia started their step with the El Clasico duel against Malaysia. They took the lead in the first round before Mohamadou Sumareh scored the winner on 97 minutes’ to close the match with a score of 2-3.
Meanwhile, the unsatisfactory report card also closed Thailand’s first match against Vietnam. Even though they play host, in fact they can only draw without a score.
Coach Simon McMenemy will reportedly continue to rely on naturalized players in tomorrow’s match. As is known, two goals scored by Indonesia were bought by Beto Goncalves, a foreign player from Brazil. The good news, Thailand will not be strengthened by Thitiphan Puangjan and Peeradon Chamratsamee who were forced to be withdrawn from the national team due to injury. Instead, coach Akira Nishino has called Anon Amornlertsak and Phatcharapol Intanee.
Each will try to become a winner after receiving a bad result in the first match. In addition to winning points, the victory will also raise the morale of the players before the two national teams meet with the UAE, Group G’s favorite participant, in October.
Late last year was the last meeting between Indonesia and Thailand. At that time they joined the AFF Cup and were placed in the same group. However, they only met once at Rajamangala, Bangkok, because Indonesia was hit by sanctions from FIFA. In other words, tomorrow’s match will be an opportunity to restore good name after Indonesia was beaten 4-2 in the match, while the last two opportunities to host an identical win, 2-1.
