PRANK Shin Tae-yong failed in the game Indonesian National team vs Thailand on the final leg I AFF Cup 2020, Wednesday (12/29/2021) evening WIB. Evidently, the Indonesian national team had to recognize Thailand’s superiority with a score of 0-4 in the match which was held at the National Stadium, Singapore.

So, what is meant by prank? Yesterday when appearing at a press conference ahead of the Indonesia vs Thailand national team match, Shin Tae-yong appointed Egy Maulana Vikri to accompany him.

The presence of Egy Maulana Vikri immediately led to speculation that Shin Tae-yong would make the 21-year-old player a starter in the Indonesia vs Thailand national team match. Because, the majority of coaches in general, players who are brought to the press conference will be appointed as starters in the actual match.

However, as predicted Okayzone Previously, Shin Tae-yong’s decision to bring in Egy Maulana Vikri was to trick Thailand’s coach, Alexandre Polking. Predictably, Alexandre Polking thought Shin Tae-yong would make Egy Maulana Vikri a starter.

That way, Alexandre Polking must automatically adjust his strategy to kill Egy Maulana Vikri, who may have been down since the beginning of the match. However, the facts on the ground are not like that.

Shin Tae-yong didn’t play Egy Maulana Vikri from the start! Egy Maulana Vikri only came down in the second half to replace Ricky Kambuaya. Actually, this is not the first time Shin Tae-yong has made such a decision.

Shin Tae-yong had made a fool of himself before the Indonesian national team met Vietnam in Group G of the 2022 World Cup qualification in the Asian zone in mid-June 2021. At the press conference, Shin Tae-yong brought Egy Maulana Vikri.

This is a sign that Egy Maulana Vikri will start as a starter when the Indonesian national team meets Vietnam. However, the fact turned out to be not like that. Egy Maulana Vikri only played in the second round.

Now, the focus of the Indonesian national team is shifted to the final II leg match AFF Cup 2020 against Thailand on Saturday, January 1, 2022 at 19.30 WIB. To win the 2020 AFF Cup, the Indonesian national team must win by a margin of five goals.

If Indonesian National team won by a four-goal difference, the match will proceed to a penalty shootout. If it’s still a draw, the winner will be determined via a penalty.
