Indonesia vs Palestine, Erick Aims for the World’s Top 100

– The Indonesian vs Palestine national team on the FIFA Matchday will be held tonight at 19.30 WIB at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya. Considering that this is an official trial match from FIFA, you will get points.

For this reason, the General Chairperson of PSSI, Erick Thohir asked the Garuda squad to play optimally to be able to boost points. As is known, Indonesia is currently ranked 149th in the world. Erick hopes that Indonesia can rise to the world’s 100th ranking.

The president of the 2013-2018 Inter Milan club also reminded the Garuda Squad that the match against Al Fida’i, the nickname of Palestine, has an important meaning for Indonesia’s struggle.

“We have a target of the world’s top 100. So every FIFA Matchday is important to get maximum points,” Erick said as quoted by PSSI’s official website.

After fighting Palestine, the next tough test will be faced by Shin Tae-yong’s troops, namely against Argentina. The match against the world champion will be held at Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta, on June 19.

“There could be feelings exciting to fight Argentina. However, all FIFA Matchdays are important in order to achieve our dream of getting optimal points,” said Erick.

He also added that Palestine’s ranking is 93rd in the world, still better than Indonesia’s ranking, which is ranked 149th.

“So, tomorrow (when Indonesia plays against Palestine), it will not be an easy match. Give your best and show who we are. Indonesia,” said Erick.

On the same occasion, coach Shin Tae-yong advised his chosen players to be able to control themselves ahead of the match against Palestine.

He also introduced a new player who had just joined, namely Shayne Elian Jay Pattynama. Shayne is one of the naturalized players who immediately strengthened Indonesia.
