“In my opinion, we can balance that because geographically, Curacao plays in North America against Canada, Haiti and others. So it was measured by STY,” he added.
Kusnaeni said there are four points that need to be considered when a country undergoes a match on the FIFA Matchday agenda. There are at least two things Indonesia can satisfy after facing Curaçao.
“First the preparation of the closest event, then the commercial purpose to increase revenue [PSSI]. Thirdly, it can add experience for players with different opponents, thus increasing the chances of moving up in the FIFA rankings, “Kusnaeni said.
On the one hand, Kusnaeni believes that the essence of the match against Curacao is that players and coaches get game ratings. The level of team that is above Indonesia is considered to be capable of providing a meaningful experience for Merah Putih representatives.
“Hoping to win is certainly normal. But for me the most important thing is that we can face higher level opponents because we usually play against teams of a level not far from ours. This is important for the evaluation,” said the man who it is familiarly called Bung Cus.
The Indonesian national team will face Curacao in a FIFA Matchday match. The first match will be held at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium (GBLA) on September 24th while the second match will take place at Pakansari Stadium, Cibinong, Bogor on September 27th.
