" The match with Argentina is not an entertaining match. The matches are very serious. If the Indonesian team loses to Argentina, it is understandable. But we all need to dream bigger. If the Indonesian team draws, they will receive a lot of bonus money ," Repbulika quoted the president of the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) - Mr. Erick Thohir.
On the evening of June 19, the Indonesian team entered a historic friendly match against the Indonesian team. A few days earlier, coach Shin Tae-yong and his team drew with Palestine. The team from the archipelago country called up a strong squad with many domestic stars and naturalized players. The Indonesian team's goal was clearly to cause a surprise against Argentina.
The Indonesian team was promised a big reward if they drew with Argentina.
For his part, Mr. Erick Thohir hopes that the match with the Argentine team will be an important test for the players in the big matches. After the historic gold medal at the 32nd SEA Games, Indonesian football is taking advantage of every opportunity to make a leap forward for the next many years.
The match between Indonesia and Argentina was also part of the plan. However, the promotional nature of the match was severely affected by the decision of the Argentine Football Federation.
After the match between Argentina and Australia in China on June 15, Lionel Messi, Angel di Maria and Otamendi were the three players who were allowed to rest and return home. Messi did not go to Indonesia to play a friendly match with the national team. The above information made Indonesian fans lose their composure and feel disappointed.
The Argentine team arrived in Indonesia early on June 17. Coach Lionel Scaloni still brought to the archipelago many stars such as Lautaro Martinez, Enzo Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Rodrigo De Paul.
