Coach Shin Tae-yong's contract extension has been decided after the U-23 Asian Cup.
Eric Tohir, president of the Indonesian Football Association PSSI, expressed his position on extending the contract of coach Shin Tae-yong, who led Indonesia to the round of 16 at the Asian Cup for the first time in history.
Team A, led by coach Shin Tae-yong, demonstrated stellar growth at the upcoming Qatar Asian Cup. The team lost to Iraq one to three in the first Group D match, but secured a 1-0 win in the second match against Vietnam. The team cheered for its first win against Vietnam since Shin took the helm. In the third match against Japan 1 to three losses, the team displayed robust physical strength to maintain strong pressure throughout the 90 minutes, and the Suwon FC uniform this season showed off its unwavering fighting spirit by scoring goals in all three matches with Walsh's comeback goal following Arhan's signature long throw-in.

The Indonesian soccer team ranked third in the group, but the result was its first ever round of 16 teams. Having played in five Asian Cup tournaments, the Indonesian soccer team used "Miracle in Doha" with coach Shin Tae-yong, an icon of miracles. Indonesia had one win, two losses and 11th place in the group league in 2004 and 2007, the best record ever. The entire country is in chaos. "The Indonesian team has made history of advancing to the round of 16 strongest teams for the first time ever. Congratulations to the Korean national team. I believe that if we continue to work hard, we can achieve new achievements in Indonesian soccer. I hope that the team will also win the round of 16 against Australia," he said. Indonesia will play against the 2015 Asian Cup champion Australia in the round of 16 strongest teams that will take place at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday at Jasim Binhamed Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
Indonesian people are interested in whether to renew the contract of Shin, who has led innovation and storm growth in Indonesian soccer with his "joyful and clever" leadership while also serving as the national team coach by age since becoming the Indonesian coach in 2020. "Whether to extend Shin's contract will be decided after the U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar from April 15 to May 3," said Tohir, who faced reporters at the Senayan Gelora Bungcarno Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 26th. "We had two goals: one was for Team A to advance to the round of 16 at the Asian Cup, and the other was for Team U-23 to the round of 16. So there are still tasks left, and we are maintaining the spirit of professionalism together," he said. The majority say that Shin Tae-yong, who led the Korean national team in the Russia World Cup and defeated Germany, and whose stock price has been rising every day, is important for the Indonesian soccer association to renew his contract, but Shin's decision is important.
On the prospect of the round of 16 match against Australia, Tohir said, "The Indonesian national team can also play on an equal footing with Australia. Indonesia has quality players such as Justin Herbner, Elkhan Bagot, Raphael Struijk and Ivar Jenner, and Australia's level of play is lower than that of Japan, which is the strongest in Asia." "Australia is not a team that can be ignored regardless of its ranking. However, since the style of play is different from Japan and Korea, and we have many players playing in the Premier League and the Netherlands, we expect to be able to play on an equal footing." "In terms of our 2009-2010 matchup with Australia, the score was tied 0-0 in 2009 and unfortunately lost 0-1 in 2010. I believe that we will get better results in this match because our national team's performance has improved," he said.
Director Shin Tae-yong to hold an official press conferenceIf Indonesia catches Australia in the round of 16 and Korea catches Saudi Arabia, Korea-Indonesia may have a showdown in the quarterfinals. "According to the AFC data, the Indonesian league ranks sixth in Southeast Asia and 23rd in Asia overall," coach Shin Tae-yong told Yonhap News on Wednesday. "It was regrettable that the national team could not grow fast because the league itself was weak," adding, "The Indonesian Football Association fully supported me. I am truly grateful. However, the skills of a player were not something I could do. That was a difficult part."
"We are ranked 146th in the FIFA rankings, while Australia 25th and Korea 23rd are in the top 30 teams. We are far more different in skills," Shin said. "It may not be easy to hit the rock with eggs, but a single mistake can determine the outcome of a tournament." "If we play well against Australia to produce good results and Korea also makes good progress against Saudi Arabia, I want to play a great match against Korea in the quarterfinals. That's my next scenario." 안전 토토사이트
The team also showed great support to the Korean soccer team led by its former students who wrote "Miracle of Kazan" at the World Cup in Russia. "A team as big as Korea prepares for a tournament focusing on the tournament rather than the group stage. Korea's tournament is the real start," he said. "I hope we can focus more and prepare better. We will never disappoint soccer fans."
