JAKARTA, KOMPAS.TV – The Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong mentioned the consumption of rice boxes for his team during the 2020 AFF Cup which was considered not to have sufficient nutritional intake to physically recover players after the match.
He also admitted that he was worried, considering that Egy Maulana Vikri and his friends also did not get enough rest before the 2020 AFF Cup Final against Thailand.
“Yes, we don’t have much time to rest,” said Shin Tae-yong on Tuesday (12/28/2021).
“This is a very, very difficult part for me to recover physically. Moreover, we are still inside bubble, can’t eat nutritious food, so you can recover quickly,” he added.
Then, what should a proper diet for athletes and national team players look like?
Shin Tae-Yong previously discussed the athlete’s diet during a training camp in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai.
“The diet must be maintained so that the players continue to be in a fit and fit condition. With a varied training menu, players must know what to eat with supervision from us, as well as other coaching staff, “explained Shin, quoted from the PSSI website.
Shin Tae-yong revealed that a high intake of carbohydrates and protein is the main thing. In addition, vegetables are also important as a supplier of minerals and vitamins for the Indonesian national team players.
“For food, the mandatory menu is vegetables, meat, fish, salad, fruit, milk, and bread. I check everything, including when the players take the portion of food,” explained Shin.
