The U-22 National Team Undergoes a Psychology Session Apart from Rest After Defeating Myanmar

– It turned out that members of the U-22 national team for Indonesia did not only take a break after defeating Myanmar in the Group A preliminary match for the 2023 SEA Games. Rizky Ridho and friends also had to carry out coach Indra Sjafri’s program, namely a psychology session.

The psychological test for Marselino Ferdinan and friends was held at the team hotel, Friday (5/5/2023). Two psychologists who were brought in directly from Jakarta became supervisors of this test.

Indra Sjafri said the psychology session was held so that the team would become more unified. He also said the chemistry of his foster children was getting better from game to game.

In this psychology session, the players undergo a series of activities including a written test. Not only that. Witan Sulaeman and friends also received relaxation exercises to maintain the players’ mental potential.

“Today we got a portion of recovery training. Thank God, after yesterday’s victory, currently my friends and I are in good condition and there are no problems,” said goalkeeper Ernando Ary, who has always started in the first two matches of the U-22 national team.

After undergoing psychology and relaxation sessions, the Indonesian U-22 National Team is scheduled to return to training at the Visakha Training Center, Phnom Penh, Saturday at 16.00 local time.
