Nanchang, Beritasatu.com – Phase knockout The 2024 Suhandinata Cup will start on Thursday (3/10/2024) tomorrow, when the eight teams that have qualified for the quarterfinals will compete for four tickets to the semifinals.

The Indonesian junior badminton team will face India in this quarter-final match.

The landslide victory in the group phase made the Young Red-White team more confident and optimistic about facing the next match. “Thank God, my team and I managed to qualify for the quarter-finals. Looking at the conditions in group F, we really had an advantage and should have been able to qualify,” said the team captain, Mutiara, as reported by PP PBSi in a release.

Mutiara added, “This victory is an important asset, but we have to learn to adapt quickly, especially when facing more balanced opponents.”

Mutiara also hopes that her team’s impressive performance can continue. “With the system relay pointsoverall team performance is key, not individuals. “So each team definitely has its own strategy,” explained Mutiara.

Mutiara hopes that the positive trend in the group phase can be continued by him and his teammates in the last eight matches and beyond.

The team manager, Rionny Mainaky, also gave several messages to increase the team’s fighting spirit. “Overall it is quite good, but Bismo and the Riska/Salsa pair need to improve their record of losing too many points. This will be an evaluation for tomorrow’s match,” said Rionny.

Rionny also emphasized that facing India, the children must enter the field with a ready fighting spirit. He also said that field control must be maximum and remain consistent. Morale and fighting power must also be further improved.

When asked about India’s strength, Rionny warned his team to be wary of Indian men’s and women’s singles players. The team from South Asia has quality men’s and women’s singles players.

“Apart from that, their fighting power is also high, so children have to be alert,” explained Rexy Mainaky’s older sibling.
