Subject: »[NT fr] during WCQ

Topic for the matches until the new coach is elected.
These games are against:
- Rep. Dominicana
- Peru
- New Zealand


For the game against Rep Dominica, I will play 2 new players. Ricky Firmansyah will play the whole game, Andri Hambadi will play 10 minutes.

Krisj wont play tomorrow. His owner asked me to give him rest for Qualification. Havent heard anything from any other users, so they dont have to complain afterwards.

I just afraid injury :)

República Dominicana - Indonesia 2:0

comment on the game will follow ;)

Quiet similar tactics, however jati was standing a bit to deep. This way he was most of the time nicely defended by their defenders. The first period was the game a bit for us. Some nice oppertunity's and a missed penalty, in other words a great goaly of Rep Dom. Abbadin was a bit to weak to be the striker. Second period, it was for them. Their strikers did what ours should have done, they scored twice.

vs Rep Dom.

some periods we were the better team, during others they were the better one. Looked like ending on a draw for a long time, as we missed a penalty (once again). Well, after all I'm a bit disappointed with this game.
Firmansyah played the whole game and did it quite well (except for 1 bad ball touch). Abidin was invisible, but Krisj was given resting time and Iswantoro is in bad form ...
(0-2 loss with half U21 team)

vs Peru

Their strikers were too fast. During the 2nd half, we had some chances. We hit the crossbar twice and also twice their GK saved our striker's shots.
Mahuse had a nice substitution, and we will hear from him in the future.
(0-5 loss)

Tomorrow a game against New Zealand. They wont play their strongest squad and I'll try something on tactical level. A draw would be a little Miracle.

Burhanuddin wont play, as his manager asked me not to field him.

I fielded Burhannudin anyway (told his manager), as he was the only one with decent pace to catch up their winger.

Well, not a bad result at all :)

Also, a new striker played his first minutes for NT :)

Due to the problems and the re elections, current coaches still have to schedule a match. So this time, we wont have a long distance to travel, as we will play Malaysia :)

any chance of beating them? :) that would satisfying hehe

they have better players, but at first sight they dont change tactics that often :)

so, we still can beat 'em right?? let's say.....3-0 maybe?? hehehehe

I'll try ;)

Hoping for some Form pops :)

Pop gods were not with us ... some A team players have serious stamina problems, and we dont have decent back ups yet ...

Krisjdianto: unsatisfactory
Laksono: poor
Suheri: tragic
Sujianto: tragic
...

Well, some will have to play ... but 2 new players will play their first minutes for Indonesian NT. One even plays in Indonesian team and the owner has received a sk mail.

Changed a bit on a ready-made tactic. Didnt have lot of time.
I have a little reunion with some school friends with whom I finished secundary school. That means: no time tomorrow evening.
I have a lab session at university of parasitology till 6 pm friday, before the reunion: No time during day.
We play in Indonesia, so that is at 9am in my local time, so no time to create tactic.
Couldnt make it earlier, as I needed updates from players =)
Well, I modified one, so that it should fit better to what I want to see from Indonesian NT during this game. I would be happy to see a result as against New Zealand, but a victory would be nice, especially against your 'neighbours' from Malaysia.

call them malingsia ;p

The first thing I noticed during the game: every duel on the midfield was lost. eg, the GK kicks the ball and for sure the opponent had the header.

Match couldnt start worse. We were slightly the better team during first minutes, but their first chance was a goal. An easy catchball wasnt kept by Laksono and their striker only had to score from 2m distance.
Just before Half Time they scored a 2nd time after a really weird situation in front of our goal.
With my tactic, in which I played Jati deeper than usual, I tried to get the ball behind their defense, which sometimes worked out well, but only few crosses were of decent quality. Both Krisj and Suheri missed ... not unexpected if you noticed their forms.
Overall, Indonesia didnt play that bad if you see we only gave away 8 chances and created 5 ourselves against a bit stronger opponent. Yet, I hoped to finish this season with a nice result, as we are starting to have a losing streak :s
