Have they forgotten the feat of advancing to the third qualifying round for the first time since independence? Indonesian fans seem to be campaigning for Shin Tae-yong (54) to resign due to the team's poor performance.

Indonesia, led by head coach Shin Tae-yong, was completely defeated 0-4 in Group C of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup against Japan at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 15th (local time).

Thanks to the win, Indonesia has secured only three points (three draws and two losses) and is now at the bottom of the list. Fortunately, the number of participating countries has expanded to 48 starting from the 2026 World Cup, and the third to fourth ranking teams also have ample opportunity to turn around as playoff berths are given. Indonesia and second ranking Australia (one win, three draws and one loss, six points) have only six points gap.

However, the public opinion surrounding Shin Tae-yong is alarming. "There are many opinions on social networking services that Shin should be replaced," Indonesian media Radar Citubondo reported on Wednesday. "Fans are dissatisfied with the lackluster performance despite the strengthening of his capability due to the policy of naturalization."

Of course, it is natural that he cannot avoid criticism as he received the result of the defeat. However, it is a somewhat incomprehensible argument that Shin Tae-yong is performing in a performance that is not worthy of his strength.

Although it is said that it has invited a large number of players to play in the European leagues, not many players play as the main players of the four major leagues, which are commonly said. Many players fail to get a chance to play in their teams. Organizational power needs to be strengthened further. Analysts say it is too early to criticize because it has just passed the halfway point. 카지노사이트

Indonesia, which advanced to the third preliminary round for the first time since its independence, has been in the "Death Group" and is struggling in its own right. Although the team was defeated by China (1-2 loss) and Japan (0-4 loss), the team lost points against its rivals Saudi Arabia (1-1 draw), Australia (0-0 draw), and Bahrain (2-2 draw).

Head coach Shin Tae-yong said in an interview after the match against Japan that he would start reorganizing with the goal of ranking third to fourth, which will give him the right to advance to the playoffs.

"Congratulations to Japan and its coach, Hajime Moriyasu. We created good chances but failed to make good use of them," coach Shin Tae-yong said, adding, "The situation is coldly the worst. Realistically, I will aim for third or fourth place. I want to play in the World Cup, but I will try first."

"It is such a sad result. As a coach, it is true that he has pressure. I will try my best to overcome these emotions, and I will work hard to unite with the players to make the World Cup stage," he said.
