As we all probably already watched on TV 4 days ago, national team of Indonesia lost the match of AFF Leg 1 with an unexpected scores. That definitely made the supporters a little bit disappointed with Timnas, i'm however of the opinion that the victory achieved by Malaysia was absolutely because of disturbance of those goddamn laser beams towards Timnas.
Thousands of supporters dressed in red as if emitting powerful energy for the Indonesian national team at the Bung Karno Main Stadium, Wednesday, December 29, 2010.On the night of AFF Cup final second leg, the old stadium which was built since 1960 were crowded to overflowing. A total of 88 thousand seats are available not able to accommodate the surge of public support to the Indonesian national team.
Timnas entered the field with his head upright. Three-goal deficit to be borne from the first leg final as unthinkable to them. Especially when the 'Indonesia Raya' reverberate. Eyes filled with tears a number of players. They looked ready to fight it out.
Unfortunately their performance that night was as good as what is shown when troops Alfred Riedl allowance for Group A. The attack did not flow smoothly. Absence Oktovianus Maniani on the left wing was very influential. Arif Suyono who plotted Riedl be a substitute for failing to show his best players.
Having had trouble penetrating the defense of neighbor team, hopes eventually emerge. Indonesia gets a penalty kick after players of Malaysia hands-ball in forbidden box. Unfortunately, Firman Utina failed to carry his team the lead. His shot was too weak, and can be caught goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, who was playing deft.
Soon, Malaysia precisely who had the upper hand. After a pause the first half, they could excel ahead thanks to goals Safee bin Mohd Mohd Sali in minute 56.
Two goals in a reply printed M Nasuha Indonesia (71) and an own goal that one Malaysian player kicks M Ridwan not anticipate enough AFF Cup hook into the arms of the country. Indonesia won 2-1, but lost in the aggregate 2-4.
"Every player is unsettled. Indonesia has a lot of chances but have trouble doing the final settlement of the deadly," said Tiago Ferreira Jacksen, coach Persipura Jayapura.
Steep hill 0-3
According Jacksen, Indonesia's failure was not caused by the action of 90 minutes in Senayan. Indonesia's failure to win has been 'piloted' in Bukit jalil when they lost 0-3, 26 December 2010.
"In the last game (at Senayan), we won right? Failure Indonesia became a champion already happened in the final first leg," said Jacksen. He considered in the final first leg Markus Horison and his friends seemed to lack energy. Too many errors that need not be present in the game.
"On the second leg we need not blame anyone. Word is also not wrong. Riedl has prepared her to be the executioner since rehearsals because she was most ready. Moreover, he successfully kicked a penalty in the group stage."
Malaysia's key to victory
Malaysia in the final second leg already had the upper hand. Losing 0-2 was they still remain a champion. But somehow, the role of goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, who had become trending topic twitter, put forward feasible.
Again and again he cut a cross balls which are released the wings of Indonesia. his proficiency while capturing penalty kicks by Firman became the highlight of his performance.
In addition, Malaysia trust the young players also become its advantage. K Rajagobal is able to draw on the pillars of the team U-19 and U-23, which can be a champion of the SEA Games 2009, became the backbone of the senior national team.
"This is what should be emulated Indonesia. Coaching young players should be prioritized," said Jacksen.
Jacksen ever felt the Indonesian title both as player and coach also praised the bravery Malaysian Football Federation to cover the opportunities for foreign players playing in their league.
"Indonesia does not need to be as radical as that. Now it may be five foreign players, should be enough to three only. In order for local players to chance to play more."
Positive side of Riedl
Despite the failure of Indonesia to win in four experiments in AFF Cup final, there is hope that is shown under the tutelage of coach Alfred Riedl. He dared to choose a few new players who had not ogled at all.Riedl also did not look at seniority within the team. Bambang Pamungkas probably never thought she would never be a starter at all in the AFF Cup this time. For Riedl, who may play from the beginning is the most prepared. Instead of the most experienced.
