The match between Indonesia and Wales was interesting.

Where it is caused by a goal created by the Indonesian national team.

The goal was scored by Sean through his intelligence and courage.

He took very good chances very well so it was created into a goal.

The match that continued after the creation of a goal from Sean was increasingly interesting.

The initially surprised Wales also returned and tried to reorganise their game.

But the time needed is quite a lot for them to fix their game, let alone they are currently in a lagging condition.

Not to mention they have to devise how to attack and knock down the defense owned by Indonesia.

Not to mention, every Wales launched an attack, Indonesia will strictly defend.

This is done by all players including the forwards.

And the end result is, if Wales fail to attack, Indonesia will immediately launch a very fast counterattack through one of the Indonesian Winger.

Either that's the right or the left.

At the moment, on the green field, Wales are building an attack.

They do ball possession and continuously pass the ball and look for empty space.

They've been doing this for a few minutes from left to right and from right to left.

But within these few minutes, they had not been able to make any breakthroughs.

This shows the tightness of Indonesian defense.

But if the opposing coach is a person who is smart and sensitive let alone observant of something, they will choose to attract possession of the ball in their own territory compared to Indonesia.

And of course, the second way must also be chosen, which is to have players who have the quality of a breakthrough pass that is accurate and the chemistry between the players is also good.

The third way is the easiest option, which is to have one of the players who is great at dribbling and able to keep possession of the ball at his own feet.

With such a player, make your own breakthrough and try to break the balance of the opponent's defense with his game.

The match is now in the 37th minute.

Wales controlled the ball in the middle of the field, and occasionally Indonesian players will also press if the ball being passed by the Welsh player is too weak and looks less anticipation.

This is also done to disrupt the rhythm of the opponent.

The Wales coach on the sidelines was already standing, with his hands linked together.

Unlike the Indonesian coach who is currently sitting, he does not pay attention to the game, but is discussing with his assistant coach.

It is seen that on a small board they are planning a new strategy to counter this imbalance.

But they are also thinking about the pros and cons of changing the strategy.

Where the disadvantage if changing the strategy is, it is difficult to maintain the quality of defense as it is now.

But they will be strong on the ball, and the players must also be changed.

The two discussed some strategies and occasionally they also glanced to the field if a noise caught their attention.

Sean who did the defense and saw the current condition was right just sighed.

He knows from the moment of training with the team that the strategy used by the coach will be useful and work well.

It's just that the players will be easily exhausted, let alone players with poor physicality.

Unlike himself, Sean felt nothing despite back and forth pressing on players nearby.

Looking around, Sean noticed the ball lane and tried to change the situation.

But the ball lane is very easy to predict by Sean, but he did not want to be rash because he was afraid this was just a trap.

He tried well to follow the coach's scheme and persevered.

The match on the pitch continued with Wales continuing to attack.

Indonesia is still ahead until the 45th minute.

After entering the 45th minute, the referee on the sidelines also raised a sign telling the extra minutes for this first half.

After seeing this, the Welshman turned around and chose to return to the dressing room first.

The players on the field also have their own expressions.

Indonesia has a happy expression and breathed a sigh of relief because the additional time is only 1 minute.

Unlike the Welshman who had a stunned expression and objection.

They expect an additional time of at least 3 minutes.

They are still trying and at this time the momentum is also in their possession, if it stops suddenly, they feel it will be difficult again to build momentum like this.

But how can players protest, they can only accept and continue the game and try to attack in the last 1 minute before halftime.

Before long the referee blew the whistle, the sign of the game was over.

The players immediately returned to the dressing room, in contrast to the reserves, they ran to the field and started to warm up and try to play with the ball in the field.

Arriving in the dressing room, where this dressing room belongs to the Indonesian national team.

The atmosphere here is very awkward.

The coach has not spoken and only looks at the faces of the players.

After a while, the coach's voice sounded.

"Good job."

"This is the same result I had hoped for and predicted."

"Sean, good work, you take advantage of such small opportunities well." Said the coach while looking at Sean and smiling proudly.

Maybe in the heart of the coach can only be explained a very deep admiration for Sean.

"You defend well for the rest of the time, but in the second half, this defense will be difficult to use." Coach's say.

The players who heard this did not change their expressions, they already knew and had already predicted this when playing on the field earlier.

"Lack in strategy using defenses like this is a drain on a lot of stamina."

"I also understand that many of you have not reached their peak condition."

"Not only that, but in the second half, Wales will definitely change their strategy."

"With these two reasons, in the second half we will change the way we play."

"Lose possession after getting the ball later."

"You have to channel the ball quickly after getting the ball."

"Don't let the Welshman think in which direction the ball will go next."

"For both sides, you two should multiply the puncture inside and do not hesitate to cut inside."

"Both full backs also help move forward and take advantage of the middle of the field. Cut off every opponent's attack they were about to build."

The coach explained at length, whether it was evaluating the match in the first half or giving orders and instructions for the second half to be in the title in a moment.

Sean in the dressing room just listened while drinking mineral water.

He also asked several questions that were very important to him.

Sean did it not because he wanted to be arrogant but he wanted to make sure if it was okay to do everything after his own wishes when the situation was urgent.

Fortunately the coach gave full permission to Sean, the coach also considered that Sean's thinking was faster and more mature compared to the senior players in the national team today.

Maybe it was caused by a coach at Liverpool who gave a lot of knowledge to Sean.

Not just the coach, but also the senior players in the team and staff of the Liverpool team.
