PREDICTION The line-up of the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Asian Cup Qualification based on 29 players called by Shin Tae-yong, will be discussed Okayzone. As is known, the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers will be held in Kuwait on 8-14 June 2022.
To qualify for the 2023 Asian Cup, Shin Tae-yong has selected the best 29 players. Some of the players are old faces who have been Shin Tae-yong’s mainstay since the 2020 AFF Cup.
Okayzone believes Shin Tae-yong will use a 4-3-3 formation in the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers. Well, these players are expected to fill every post in Shin Tae-yong’s 4-3-3 formation.
Shin Tae-yong is believed to be entrusting the goalkeeping post to Ernando Ari Sutaryadi. The ability of the Persebaya Surabaya goalkeeper was proven at the 2021 SEA Games by thwarting three penalties throughout the tournament.
Ernando Ari’s task will be assisted by four defenders who stand parallel. The four defenders that will be entrusted by Shin Tae-yong are Asnawi Mangkualam Bahar, Fachruddin Aryanto, Elkan Baggott, and Pratama Arhan.
Turning to the midfield, Shin Tae-yong is predicted to trust Marc Klok, Rachmat Irianto, and Ricky Kambuaya. They will protect the defense and help attack the Indonesian national team.
When assisting the attack, the creativity of Klok, Irianto, and Kambuaya will play an important role. Because, they will ease the task of the three front players of the Indonesian national team, which are filled by Witan Sulaeman, Egy Maulana Vikri, and Dimas Drajad.
It should be noted that Dimas Drajad has just received a call to strengthen the Indonesian national team. Previously, he had played for the Indonesian national team in the age groups, namely U-16, U-19, and U-23.
As a center forward, Dimas’ ability has been tested in Liga 1 2021-2022 with Persikabo 1973. Last season, he has collected 11 goals and three assists. Dimas must immediately adapt to Shin Tae-yong’s game in order to perform optimally in the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers.
The following is the prediction of the line-up for the Indonesian national team in the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifications based on 29 players called by Shin Tae-yong:
Indonesian National Team (4-3-3): Ernando Ari Sutaryadi; Asnawi Mangkualam Bahar, Fachruddin Aryanto, Elkan Baggott, Primary Arhan; Marc Klok, Rachmat Irianto, and Ricky Kambuaya; Witan Sulaeman, Egy Maulana Vikri, and Dimas Drajad.
