A few days passed, though,

The Indonesian national team has been in Qatar for several days.

They occupy the training ground of an existing club in the Qatari League to facilitate their training.

Sean has also been acquainted with the new players.

Fortunately, even though they had only met once, but the communication relationship was all running smoothly so there was no awkwardness whatsoever.

They look like they've been playing together for a long time.

In the match during training as well, Indonesia performed quite well.

2 Days away, the opening of the world cup will also be soon in the title.

Indonesia will play Wales on November 21.

This is very little time for Indonesian players.

They must speed up their understanding of the schemes and tactics that the coach will use.

At training, Sean really made the other national team players aware of Sean's ability.

Not that Sean wants to boast, but some players who have played with Sean will know that in training Sean will be serious.

With the attitude shown in every training session, other national team players also change their attitude.

And this certainly makes the coach and staff members nod in appreciation.

This is what the Indonesian national team needs most at this time.

That is building serious momentum in every practice and make it a habit so that in the upcoming matches later, the players have become more serious and will not underestimate any opponent.

...

2 Days later,

Coinciding with the opening of the world cup on November 20, the teams were present at the stadium.

Watching the opening series.

Until finally there are some teams who still stay to watch the game that will be done by the host against his guests in the first game of group A.

Surely some of the teams watching were teams from group A.

The other team is back when the game starts.

They don't have to watch the game at all.

Although in the future their teams will meet, they just watch Vidio match matches from the team.

And assess how to fight the team.

At the opening, Sean also met some friends in the Liverpool team.

Like Henderson, Alexander Arnold, Declan Rice in the English league team.

Sean chatted a few sentences with them and gave each other encouragement.

All three of course give more spirit to Sean because they know that the Indonesian team or national team strengthened by Sean today will do the historical record again.

They want their friend to perform well in the historical record of his country.

Sean was of course happy and very grateful with the encouragement by his three friends.

Although there were several other friends in Liverpool who were present, Sean had not chatted because of his far-flung position and different clubs.

In the Netherlands there are De Ligt and Van Dijk.

In France there are Ibrahima Konate and Aurelien.

There is also Florian in Germany.

Sean's best friend Felix is in Portugal.

Knowing that his position is far away, Sean undoes his intention to chat.

When some teams return, the opening game of the title.

That brings Qatar and Ecuador together.

.....

The next day, the,

At noon, the Indonesian players have arrived at the stadium for their match.

They will compete in the first schedule.

Of course, the time needed is about 45 minutes.

Where the match will start at 2 p.m.

Indonesian players feel great nervous, Sean is also included in the players who are nervous.

Although he had richer experience than others playing in Europe's top leagues, Sean felt nervous like he was going to play in the top league at the time.

Not only the players who feel nervous, but the Indonesian supporters who attended also felt nervous.

Although they know that Indonesia will not get a good result in this world cup, they will certainly still support and encourage.

They appreciate the players because they can perform in the world cup.

After some time, the match will start.

The official staff of the match also informed that the players immediately entered the players aisle.

Along with the players from both teams entering the players aisle, on the television screen of the Indonesian channel also showed the conditions and situations of the players in the players aisle.

Commentators from an Indonesian television channel have also begun to explain with a few sentences so that viewers at home understand the situation.

After a while, the players entered the field.

Sean holding the hand of a small man also clenched his right hand to hold back his nervousness.

'This is the world stage.' Sean said in his heart but his face was still calm.

The players from both teams then line up and start singing the national anthems of each.

After they finished singing the performers and the audience applauded.

Along with the completion of the applause, the referee requested that the Indonesian national team do the first salaman.

That way the Indonesian players go forward and shake hands with the referee then go forward and shake hands with the Welsh players.

After completion, the two captains of each team are called by the referee who leads the match.

The referee explained some rules and after a while, Fachrudin came back and explained that they were going to start kick off.

Of course, this is in accordance with the orders of the coach to eliminate the nervousness of players by mastering the ball at the beginning.

Although later there will be mistakes but with the first momentum, this makes the players will immediately eliminate nervousness.

That way, the Indonesian attacker is Spaso kick off.

Sean who was on the left side also immediately moved to find space because the match had started.

Along with the match that began, commentators on the Indonesian television channel have also started the action.

Where Indonesian commentators comment on the current ongoing match.

Of course with the explanation of the commentator, the audience also so know who controls the ball.

This shows that even though they were watching from television, the spectators did not know who had the ball because it was not very clear his face and his back number.

If his back number is visible, of course the spectators will know who the player is.

"Evan Dimas had the ball, it was his third touch of the game."

"Indonesia is currently of course carrying out instructions from the coach, they want to control the ball and control the match so that the ball is often given to Evan Dimas who is strong in possession of the ball." Clear commentator.

"Oh, Evan Dimas gives the pass on the right side."

"There Febri calmly controls the ball. Looking at the situation like Febri couldn't immediately accelerate as usual." Commentator and correct Febri can not accelerate because the Wales national team players press tight on Febri.

This was the first time, because when the midfielders had the ball, the Welshman would wait quietly.

The match continued, with Febri attempting to pass to another teammate again.
