Sea of supporters dressed in red as if emitting powerful energy for the Indonesian national team at the Bung Karno Main Stadium, Wednesday, December 29, 2010.
On the night of AFF Cup final second leg, the old stadium which was built since 1960 were crowded to overflowing. A total of 88 thousand seats are available not able to accommodate the surge of public support to the Indonesian national team.
Caps entered the field with his head erect. Three-goal deficit to be borne from the first leg final as unthinkable to them. Especially when the 'Indonesia Raya' reverberate. Eyes filled with tears a number of players. They looked ready to fight it out.
Unfortunately their performance that night was as good as what is shown when troops Alfred Riedl allowance for Group A. The attack did not flow smoothly. Absence Oktovianus Maniani on the left wing was very influential. Arif Suyono who plotted Riedl be a substitute for failing to show his best players.
Having had trouble penetrating the defense team neighbor, hopes eventually emerge. Indonesia gets a penalty kick after players in Malaysia handsball forbidden box. Unfortunately, Firman Utina failed to carry his team the lead. His shot was too weak, and can be caught goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, who was playing deft.
Soon, Malaysia precisely who had the upper hand. After a pause the first half, they could excel ahead thanks to goals Safee bin Mohd Mohd Sali in minute 56.
Two goals in a reply printed M Nasuha Indonesia (71) and an own goal that one Malaysian player kicks M Ridwan not anticipate enough AFF Cup hook into the arms of the country. Indonesia won 2-1, but lost in the aggregate 2-4.
"Every player is unsettled. Indonesia has a lot of chances but have trouble doing the final settlement of the deadly," said Tiago Ferreira Jacksen, coach Persipura Jayapura.
Steep hill 0-3
According Jacksen, Indonesia's failure was not caused by the action of 90 minutes in Senayan. Indonesia's failure to win has been 'piloted' on the hill when they lost 0-3 Jalil, 26 December 2010.
"In the last game (at Senayan), we won right? Failure Indonesia became a champion already happened in the final first leg," said Jacksen. He considered in the final first leg Markus Horison and his friends seemed to lack energy. Too many errors that need not be present in the game.
"On the second leg we need not blame anyone. Word is also not wrong. Riedl has prepared her to be the executioner since rehearsals because she was most ready. Moreover, he successfully kicked a penalty in the group stage."
Malaysia's key to victory
Malaysia in the final second leg already had the upper hand. Losing 0-2 was they still remain a champion. But somehow, the role of goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, who had become trending topic twitter, put forward feasible.
Again and again he cut a cross ball which released the wings of Indonesia. Kegemilangannya penalty kicks while capturing the Word became the highlight of his performance.
In addition, Malaysia trust the young players also become its advantage. K Rajagobal able to draw on the pillars of the team U-19 and U-23, which can be a champion of the SEA Games 2009, became the backbone of the senior national team.
"This is what should be emulated Indonesia. Coaching young players should be prioritized," said Jacksen.
Jacksen ever felt the Indonesian title both as player and coach also praised the bravery Malaysian Football Federation to cover the opportunities for foreign players playing in their league.
"Indonesia does not need to be as radical as that. Now it may be five foreign players, should be enough to three only. In order for local players to chance to play more."
Positive side Riedl
Despite the failure of Indonesia to win in four experiments in AFF Cup final, there is hope that is shown under the tutelage of coach Alfred Riedl. He dared to choose a few new players who had not ogled at all.
Riedl also did not look at seniority within the team. Bambang Pamungkas probably never thought she would never be a starter at all in the AFF Cup this time. For Riedl, who may play from the beginning is the most prepared. Instead of the most experienced.
Riedl agreed Jacksen attitude. Preparation mepet conducted Riedl able to be mixed into force, the least powerful in the allowance until the semifinals. Especially considering there are only 48 hours to prepare troops Indonesian national team after the defeat in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
But Indonesia appearance that night, especially the spirit of constant attack, so-so to make the fans a little berbusung chest.
As Jaksen, Riedl at least managed to turn back new hope. "I have 16 years in Indonesia, but had never seen such enthusiasm. Beautiful artists would come to the stadium. All the people of Indonesia are proud to now have a team like this."
