U19 Indonesia National Team Won’t Focus to Japan’s Star Player

DBasia.news – U19 Indonesia national team will play against Japan in the quarter-final of 2018 U19 Asian Cup. In this match, Japan are more superior.

Throughout the tournament, Japan performed great due to their star player, Takefusa Kubo. The Lionel Messi of Japan will make Indonesia difficult.

However, U19 Indonesia national team coach Indra Sjafri won’t focus on a player.

According to Indra, U19 Japan’s strength is prevalent and Kubo isn’t the only one to be anticipated. The South Sumatran coach assumes that football is the game for 11, not 1 or 2.

“I won’t anticipate just one player. There are 11 players. So we will anticipate them all,” Indra said.

Kubo is called as the next Barcelona star, Lionel Messi. In his 17, the player of Yokohama F. Marinos often plays in the professional competition like the J1 League.

In 2011, Kubo was invited to join Barcelona football academy, La Masia. But unfortunately, four years later, the striker who was born in Kawasaki must return to Jpan after Barcelona and FIFA had a problem regarding the transfer.

“We already prepared the game plan, we will focus for the match tomorrow. We got all the information about U19 Japan and anticipate it,” Indra said.
