Coach Patrick Clawybert, who is leading the Indonesian national soccer team, expressed dissatisfaction with the Japanese national team ahead of the showdown.
Japanese media "Sacker Digest" reported on the 28th (Korea time) that "Indonesian national team coach expressed his inner feelings about the replacement of 14 members of the Japanese national soccer team."
The Indonesian national soccer team will play the ninth and 10th Asian qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup in Asia during the upcoming A-match period with China and Japan. After playing the 9th Group C match against China at home on June 5, it will have to play the final match of the 3rd Asian qualifiers in the away match against Japan, the strongest in Asia, on the 10th.
With only two more matches to go before the third Asian qualifying round, Indonesia is ranking fourth in Group C with nine points (two wins, three draws and three losses). The top two teams in the group will advance to the World Cup finals, while the third and fourth teams will participate in the playoffs. The gap between second-ranked Australia (13 points) and fourth-ranked Indonesia is four points.
Depending on the result, he may be able to advance to the World Cup finals by ranking second, but there is a possibility that he will be eliminated from the preliminary round as he is pushed out of the fifth place.
In order to continue their hopes of advancing to the World Cup finals, they need to get results in two consecutive A matches in June. According to the media, Coach Clawybert also aimed to win two games, saying, "Not only three points, but we are aiming for six points."
The problem is that the final opponent is Asia's strongest Japan, and there is hope in Indonesia as Japan excluded a large number of its main players ahead of the A-match in June.
Japan, which has already qualified for the World Cup finals, has made significant changes to its A-match squad this June. Compared to the A-match games in March, a whopping 14 players have changed.
The absence of a large number of main players is a positive part for Indonesia, which is in desperate need of victory.
The media also said, "It's a test opportunity for Japan, which has already confirmed its advance to the finals, but it's literally the best for Indonesia, which is aiming for the second place with consecutive wins."
However, it is known that Coach Clawybert expressed dissatisfaction with Japan's roster.
"Everyone knows that the two countries we meet are never easy countries," he said. "We have to respect the other person, but the other person has to respect us."
Regarding Japan's replacement of 14 players, he said, "I don't know what the Japanese coach is thinking. But we will do our best in every game."
Local media in Indonesia also expressed anger. "The Japanese national team has used the second tier team. The Japanese coach is still ignoring the Indonesian team. I am confident that I can beat the Indonesian team even if I fight as a second tier team," the TV1 news site said.
Coach Clawybert is leading the Indonesian national soccer team after Shin Tae-yong. The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) terminated its contract with Shin Tae-yong, who had accompanied him for five years, in January and appointed Dutch coach Clawybert.
Coach Clawybert, who will lead the Indonesian national team after Shin, had one win and one loss in the A-match schedule in March. He suffered a crushing 1-5 defeat in the seventh Group C match of the third Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup against Australia, but won 1-0 in the eighth match against Bahrain to report his first win. 온라인카지노
