Garuda without Marselino Ferdinand during Vietnam vs Indonesia

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – The visiting Garuda team will compete without Marselino Ferdinan in the Vietnam vs Indonesia match in the preliminary round of Group B of the 2024 AFF Cup.

The match will be held at the Viet Tri Stadium, Vietnam, on Sunday (15/12/2024) starting at 20.00 WIB.

Marselino Ferdinan will be absent from the Indonesian National Team’s third match in the 2024 AFF Cup because he was sent off when they met Laos, Thursday (12/12/2024). In that match, the Oxford United player received two yellow cards.

He received his first yellow card in the 39th minute. When the match entered the 68th minute, he received another yellow card for a hard foul on a Laos player. Referee Hiroki Kasahara then issued a red card to the former Persebaya Surabaya player.

Marselino Ferdinand was sent off by the referee when the score was 2-2. After he was sent off, Indonesia took the lead thanks to Muhammad Ferrari’s goal from a corner kick. Only moments later, through a quick counter-attack, Laos equalized 3-3 thanks to Phathana Phommathep’s goal.

The penalty for the absence of Marselino Ferdinan in the Vietnam vs Indonesia match was certainly a major blow to Shin Tae-yong’s troops. The coach from South Korea must look for alternative players who must replace his role.

Even though Marselino Ferdinan’s role in the Indonesian National Team is very vital. Even though he is only 20 years old, the player who has played for Deinze has played for the Indonesian national team 34 times.

Marselino has excellent ball control, smooth dribbling ability and sharp game vision. This makes him able to create opportunities and regulate the tempo of the game in the midfield.

Marselino is also known for his precise passes, both short and long passes. This ability is very important for an attacking midfielder in opening up space and distributing the ball to the front line.

As a young player, Marselino has sufficient speed, which allows him to move quickly on the pitch and support counter attacks. His mobility allows him to contribute in various areas of the pitch.

Marselino is not only creative as an attack organizer, but also has good goal-scoring instincts. His long-range shots often pose a threat to the opposing team.

Even though he is still young, Marselino shows a very mature understanding of tactics. He is able to read the game well and often makes the right decisions in critical situations.

Another advantage that Marselino Ferdinan has is his mental resilience. Playing at international level for the Indonesian National Team at a very young age shows that Marselino has strong mental resilience. He is not easily pressured even when facing more experienced opponents.

Coach Shin Tae-yong must find a suitable replacement in the Vietnam vs Indonesia match in the 2024 AFF Cup, Sunday (15/12/2024), so that Garuda’s chances of qualifying for the semifinals remain open.
