SEAToday.com, Jakarta-Timnas Indonesia melanjutkan petualangan pada putaran kedua kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia. Pasukan Shin Tae-yong bakal menghadapi Irak di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno, Kamis, 6 Juni 2024.
Setelah itu Skuad Garuda meladeni Filipina di tempat sama, Selasa, 11 Juni 2024. Indonesia membutuhkan tiga angka dari dua laga tersebut untuk memastikan lolos ke fase penyisihan berikutnya.
Secara realistis target tersebut sulit dicapai saat bersua Irak. Selain perbedaan kekuatan, rekor Indonesia melawan negara Asia Barat itu juga buruk.
Indonesia gagal menang dan tumbang tujuh kali dalam delapan pertemuan sepanjang sejarah. Jordi Amat dan kawan-kawan menyerah 1-5 pada pertemuan pertama di kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia, serta juga tumbang 1-3 di Piala Asia 2023.
Meski begitu, pelatih Shin Tae-yong tetap mengusung semangat dan berharap anak asuh bisa meraih kemenangan perdana atas Irak.
"Irak merupakan tim yang bagus dan pastinya lebih kuat dibanding Indonesia. Tapi, sekarang sudah waktunya kita bisa coba untuk meraih kemenangan," ucap Shin Tae-yong dalam konferensi pers jelang pertandingan.
