The Southeast Asian side lost 5-0 to Islamic Republic of Iran in their final friendly at the Al Rayyan Training Site in Doha on Tuesday with Shin expecting a more resolute performance against Iraq in their Group D match against Iraq on Monday.“There were several mistakes from our defence (against Iran), with three goals resulting from our errors,” said Shin. “In the Asian Cup, the opponents will likely dominate possession more.

“Therefore, we will train for that situation so that players can find opportunities to counter-attack and create good chances.”

Shin also shed light on the condition of defender Asnawi Mangkualam, who is recovering from a muscle injury.

“Asnawi had muscle issues and is still in rehabilitation. He only played for 20-30 minutes. That’s why Asnawi couldn’t play as the captain at the beginning of the match, with vice-captain Jordi Amat taking on the role.”Prior to their closed-door friendly against Iran, Indonesia faced Libya twice, losing 4-0 and 2-1.

Making a return to the AFC Asian Cup for the first time since 2007, Indonesia will also face Southeast Asian rivals Vietnam on January 19 and four-time winners Japan five days later in Group D.
