SEAToday.com, Doha-Pelatih Shin Tae-yong mengungkap Rafael Struick merupakan salah satu pemain kunci di timnas U-23 selama ajang Piala Asia U-23 2024 ini.

Rafael Struick dipastikan menyumbang penampilan di laga vs Irak malam ini setelah menjalani sanksi akumulasi kartu kuning yang didapatnya sebelum semifinal. STY sempat menyayangkan absennya Rafael di laga vs Uzbekistan, Senin (29/4/2024) lalu.

“Memang sangat disayangkan ketika dia (Rafael Struick) absen di laga melawan Uzbekistan, dan sekarang dia sudah dalam kondisi fit,” kata Shin Tae-yong dikutip dari PSSI.

Pada laga vs Korea Selatan, pemain Ado den Haag tersebut mendapat kartu kuning setelah mencetak gol pertama di menit ke-15. Kartu kuning tidak memadamkan semangatnya, ia kembali mencetak gol di waktu tambahan babak pertama. 

“Dia sudah bermain bagus sejak awal Piala Asia U-23 2024, sejak babak grup. Dia adalah salah satu pemain kunci kami,” lanjutnya.

Menjelang laga melawan Irak, pelatih asal Korea Selatan tersebut menyebutkan bahwa ia percaya pertandingan akan berjalan baik dan Rafael Struick pun akan menyumbang penampilan yang berkesan di laga tersebut.

“Saya yakin dia akan berkontribusi besar di laga lawan Irak,” ungkap Shin Tae-yong.

STY juga menyebutkan harapannya terhadap kondisi lapangan pada laga mendatang. Ia sempat menyebutkan kondisi yang ideal bagi sebuah pertandingan adalah saat seluruh elemen di lapangan dapat menghormati satu sama lain, pemain menghormati pemain dan wasit, serta berlaku sebaliknya. (KALILA/DKD)
