SEAToday.com, Jakarta - Timnas Indonesia bertemu tuan rumah Bahrain pada laga Grup C putaran ketiga kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia.
Di atas kertas Bahrain memiliki tradisi lebih bagus ketimbang Indonesia. Namun, saat ini mereka hanya unggul satu poin atas tim Garuda di klasemen sementara.
Oleh sebab itu, pelatih Shin Tae-yong menilai tim asuhannya berpeluang mendulang hasil bagus saat menghadapi Bahrain.
"Kami mendapat hasil bagus dengan dua kali imbang melawan Arab Saudi dan Australia yang mendongkrak kepercayaan diri. Kami terus berkembang. Maka menurut saya pertandingan melawan Bahrain, kami akan mendapatkan hasil yang bagus," ujar Shin Tae-yong.
Indonesia pernah menelan kekalahan pahit 0-10 dari Bahrain di stadion yang sama pada 2012 pada ajang kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2014. Meski demikian, Shin Tae-yong sama sekali tidak memusingkan fakta tersebut.
"Saya baru tahu rekor kekalahan itu kemarin. Masa lalu adalah masa lalu, masa kini adalah masa kini, dan tidak ada yang tahu hasil laga nanti akan seperti apa," ungkap pelatih asal Korea Selatan itu.
