DBasia.news – Mauritius player Lindsay Rose showed his humble attitude when playing against Indonesia national team. The Lorient defender in France League considered the opponent as the strong one.
In the match at Wibawa Mukti Stadium, Cikarang, Bekasi, Tuesday (11/9), Mauritius refused to underestimate Indonesia national team. In fact, based on FIFA rank, Francisco Filho’s squad is better.
Mauritius stay in the 155th rank of FIFA in August 2018. While Indonesia national team are nine ranks below.
Rose assumed Indonesia national team shouldn’t be underestimated. Moreover, the 26-year-old player knew about the supportive public.
“I can see this country really loves football, I see the sympathetic people,” Rose said in the press conference before the match.
“We respect Indonesia’s football. Hopefully, we can present a better football here. We know in the future there will be a difficult opponent, Indonesia, but I’m sure we can pass it, we have to be confident,” he added.
Mauritius got a rather poor result in the recent friendly match. The African country just played draw 1-1 against Singapore.
