SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Pelatih timnas Irak Jose Casas enggan jemawa jelang laga kontra timnas Indonesia di Gelora Bung Karno, Kamis (6/6/2024). Laga itu merupakan laga kelima grup F Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 Zona Asia.

Irak sendiri telah lolos ke putaran berikutnya setelah mengoleksi poin sempurna 12 dari empat pertandingan. Melawan Indonesia, Irak juga menang di tiga laga sebelumnya. 

Kendati demikian, Casas enggan percaya diri berlebihan. “Setiap pertandingan itu berbeda. Indonesia tim yang bagus dan mengalami peningkatan,” katanya saat jumpa pers di Jakarta, Rabu (5/6/2024).

Casas meyakini, timnas Indonesia akan tampil berbeda di hadapan suporter sendiri. Pelatih asal Spanyol itu pun memprediksi Pasukan Garuda bisa lolos ke fase berikutnya.

Ditanya soal pemain yang diwaspadai, Casas menolak menyebutkan nama. “Saya tidak suka menyoroti satu pemain karena sepak bola itu olahraga tim,” ujarnya.

Laga di Gelora Bung Karno melawan Irak merupakan laga kelima timnas Indonesia di Grup F. Saat ini, timnas Indonesia berada di posisi kedua klasemen dengan tujuh poin.

Pasukan Shin Tae-yong bisa lolos ke putaran selanjutnya andai menang di laga tersebut. Setelahnya, Rizky Ridho dkk. akan meladeni Filipina yang juga akan berlangsung di Gelora Bung Karno, Minggu (11/6/2024).
