Subject: »[NT fr] during WCQ

Buwono probably yes, Zulfikar is too low in defending ;)

Well, just spoke about the specific requirements for the players with SA coach. Quite easy: only players who didnt perform during WCQ so far :)

Some new players called up, both playing in Indonesia.
Tactics, team and orders set.

1 Tjio Wiraguna GK
2 Hendra Muhtadi DEF
3 Iwan Mursadat DEF
4 Herry Mardiansyah DEF
5 Amir Buwono DEF
6 Susilo Suheri ATT
7 Aris Makatindu MID
8 Budiman Roekita MID
9 Arief Krisdjianto ATT
10 Billy Darma DEF
11 Rudi Mulyana ATT

12 Kurnia Subarkah GK
13 Ricky Firmansyah DEF
14 Jusuf Mahuse MID
15 Andri Hambadi DEF
16 Visnu Nurdin ATT

Seems like their B squad is even stronger than our A squad Oo

You lost because Iswantoro no played :P

He wasnt allowed to play as he played in WCQ for more than 30 minutes ;)
anyway, this way we dont have cards/injuries for the main team and some lessser players (Muhtadi, Visnu, ...) could get a cap :)

next up: U22 friendly against one of the stronger nations, because they are older, but they have similar userbase: Scotland. Probably I'll pick some A team players, as WCQ dream is over :)

All is set for tomorrow. As said before, it is an U22 (means 22 years old players and younger). For our side, this means some A team players will play as well.

another close loss ... 1-0 against Scotland. Goal was a free kick straight into the goal after 70 minutes (or something around that time). We played 60 minutes with a slow defender with few stamina, but for sure the biggest prospect in the defense of Indonesia. We miss Danubrata (12 day injury) and Burhanuddin (sent off with red card after 85 minutes) for next week.

We've bad luck..

well, because they were ranked so high, we actually gained some ranking points because the defeat was so small :p

next week: U21 against Malaysia. They have better players than us, but I haven't checked the U21 strenght of their team yet. Main problem for us will probably be stamina :)

We have a big chance against their U21.. Hopefully we can make the difference in the first half because of the stamina indeed.

for this week: 10 U21 players and 1 22 year old (simply no U21 player left for the position).
2 21yo+ on the bench (again no U21 left) who will only join in when there is an injury.
Laksono will be given rest, as we will need his skills for the last WCQ games.

I hope we can crush them ;p
