Indonesia must accept the crushing defeat of Thailand in the last match of the group phase of the 2014 Asian Games. Six goals lodged against Indonesia with no one replies that can be done by Indonesia. Although Indonesia still qualify for the next round, but this defeat dropped mental feared that the majority of the players are still young.
One of the harshest criticisms to Aji Santoso in this game, aimed at the player selection is done. In the match against Thailand, Aji Santoso actually fielding a second layer. The main players are playing brilliantly at the beginning of the game, it just went into the list of reserve players.
There are eight changes to the starting XI player name derived Aji Santoso in his match against Thailand's when compared to the previous two games. There is only Victor Igbonefo, Dany Saputra, and Bayu Gatra in the starting XI this time which is a core player Aji Santoso.
In contrast, in the stronghold of Thailand they actually reduce their main players. Although both have already qualified, Thailand chose to keep playing with the maximum strength they have. Their flagship midfielder who had played in the youth team Switzerland, Charyl Chappuis, play as a double pivot with Yooyen Sarach in midfield.
Poor coordination of Indonesia Players Aji Santoso's decision to lower the reserve players really bad. Coordination game the players did survive and invade Indonesia today is not going well. Indonesia played a 4-1-4-1 formation, with placing Rizki Pellu between defense and midfield. By being in this position, may Aji Santoso hope Pellu can interfere with the performance of midfielder Thailand, S. Chanatip, the ball flowing forward.
However, when the problem of coordination between defense, Rizki Pellu itself, and the midfielder going very badly. Three lines Indonesian game is not in a position to help each other system performance. Defense was too far to the rear while the middle row too up front. Rizki Pellu also be in a position close to the defense and midfield. This led to the creation of a very wide space around Rizki Pellu.
Thai players who see this condition is very easy to use. Third operand to the final area of Thailand made to flow very smoothly. They played a little ball in their own area to lure midfielder row up, before then entering the ball into the area around Rizki Pellu very vacant.
Scheme fruitful game's first goal and the second originated from Indonesia's poor coordination. Thailand utilizing the empty space in front of the Indonesian defense to discriminate cross. Look at how the open area in front of the Indonesian defense when there are two players on the occurrence of Thailand Thailand's second goal.
Attackers Thailand, Adisak Kraison go into the wide-open spaces on the occurrence of a second goal. There's one other Thai players are also entering into the space without a single guarding the Indonesian players. With this condition is of course very easy for Adisak to kick off Indonesia's goal.
Pressing the Bad and Slow Transition Not only when it approached the goal Indonesia. Poor coordination by Indonesia has been seen since the ball was still in the region of Thailand. Indonesian occasionally do the pressing when Thailand was doing ball possession in their own areas. Pressing is more often done when Indonesia has two goals. But again, the coordination between players during a pressings very bad. This makes pressing the players did Indonesia do not mean anything to Thailand. In fact it makes players more easily penetrate the defenses of Thailand Indonesia.
Indonesian players make the most basic mistakes in the conduct of pressing into the opponent's territory. That pressings were made between the player does not coincide with the other players. That way there will be one or two free-standing Thai players so they can receive the pass and get out of the pressure.
Not only the time of the incident, in this game there are also many instances where Indonesian defenders were outnumbered by the attackers Thailand. This condition occurs after a very slow Indonesian players back into position after the attack. Thailand then make a quick attack defense Indonesia must face forward line Thailand with larger numbers.
Not only from attack to survive, the Indonesian players are also very slow in the transition from the defensive to the offensive. Yandi Sofyan who was alone in front, often do not have the option to do the operand. Assistance coming from Indonesia midfielder comes very late. This makes it very easy for the Thai players dispel attacks by Indonesia.
Aji Santoso Blunder 
Win or lose of Thailand is still going to make Indonesia to qualify for the next round. China or North Korea, which is a potential opponent Indonesia and Thailand in the last 16 also has a power that is not much different. So it is the result of this match does not affect much for Indonesia.
But there appears a story, as a result of the game ended with a score that is too light like this. Mental Indonesian team will certainly be affected and may not be able to interfere with the next game. Moreover, experienced defeat of Thailand which is a close competitor of Indonesia in Southeast Asia.
Aji Santoso decision If we consider the last round of matches which do not specify another group in international tournaments, such as the World Cup or the European Cup, there is rarely a coach desperate to replace 75% of players. Unless the team is definitely not qualify for the next round, or the third place, then sometimes there is a team that dared to replace more than 70% lineup.
This is shown by Roy Hogdson in the last game of the 2014 World Cup group stages last. In the match against Costa Rica that is not decisive, because England had been knocked out, Hodgson replacing up to nine players.
Compare also with Costa Rica as a comparison in order to see the context. When faced with the English, they certainly qualify for the knock-out phase and is certain to win the group. How many changes were made in the match vs. England? Only two players.
The reason is clear: in order to mentally too if the team does not lose too flashy. Lose striking that bad, even though it does not determine action. The obvious: keep the team from being exposed kondusivitas news and scathing comments were not important. Also other reasons: to maintain performance (the next game, after all, only Friday, there are still 4 days to recovery) of the players are enjoying a good rhythm as Ferdinand Sinaga.
It is also not necessarily the entry of major players will make Indonesia win. Looking at the game of Thailand is so slick of Indonesia U23 team will be a major inconvenience. But at least, Indonesia must be able to provide resistance. The game will not end with the score without any striking and kicks at goal were made by the Indonesian players.
Conditions Indonesian team will be more motivated to play better in the big 16. Not with feelings of guilt due to be slaughtered in the previous game. The match was already over, Indonesia has been defeated, but North Korea has been waiting for. There is no point if we continue to debate the decision Aji Santoso yesterday. It would be useful if we immediately look ahead, and think about how to beat North Korea in the round of 16.
Hopefully the players are also not too concerned about this big defeat. Despite losing big, really is not much to affect the fate of Indonesia. They still have to face an opponent who is stronger on paper from Indonesia. So it would be wise if the players soon forget this game and focus on the next game.
