TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – The Indonesian national football team or senior Indonesian national team will begin its Group B 2018 AFF Cup appearance at the Singapore National Stadium on Friday 9 November against the home team.
The Indonesian national team has never won this Southeast Asian international championship and its new highest achievement finalist or second place.
The initial fight of the national team in the group "Hell" – because she also joined the defending champion, Thailand – should not be easy.
Previously, at various leagues, including the AFF Cup, Singapore often made it difficult for Indonesia because it was supported by a number of naturalized players with physical qualities and strengths.
This time, Singapore relies on local actors. But their tenacity should remain the same, especially with the coach of Fandi Ahmad.
The name of this coach is no stranger to national football fans. Fandi Ahmad and goalkeeper David Lee are two Singaporean players who are part of the history of the main football league (Galatama), the first semi-professional league created in Indonesia in the 1980s. Both are identical to the club Niac Mitra 1982-1983 of Surabaya in the glorious era of Galatama.
Fandi is also one of the few Southeast Asian football players to play in Europe, including the Groningen club in the Dutch club Eredivisie 1983-1985.
Fandi has already faced the Milky Way, coach of the Indonesian national team, on the same pitch as a player of the SEA Games 1997 in Jakarta.
The closeness and knowledge of Indonesian football culture is close to Fandi Ahmad, who has long been club coach for Pelita Jaya, 2006-2010.
