So Congratulation for Indonesia both A and B team for winning their first game in the tournament, with Indonesia A 7-0 Cambodia and Indonesia B 2-0 Brunei. A win is always a great way to start a tournament especially when host it! I'm not here to talk about how things went in both match because that's the press' job.
A big win, every team wants it. now we got it, but me, personally i felt nothing special with this win, no crazy jumps, no silly dancing, no chants, no throwing peanut skins across the room. All in my mind is well done, though we beat Cambodia, practically everybody can do that. Its not like when Indonesia beat Bahrain 2-1 in the Asian Cup. Everybody was like Whoaah!!!! we beat Bahrain!! and we all sang the national anthem.
Facing a less competitive team like Cambodia maybe for some people is a waste of time. But from an Idealist point of view like me, even facing worse team than Cambodia have a good effect, mainly on the confidence of the players. Playing with less competitive team makes the team have better chances to play an attacking game, players can experiment by testing their individual skills like dribbling, nutmeg, chip and long shot outside the penalty box.
These things don't happen much when we play against big teams. the last time i remember, it was an opportunity for Firman Utina when Indonesia played Saudi Arabia, he did a long shot but it hit the post.
Next, Myanmar and Libya. both of our teams only need a draw against these two team. So I'm hoping for tomorrows game against Libya, and later on against Myanmar, Benny Dollo and Bambang Nurdiansyah will give the players that are being substituted today a chance to be a starter, especially Eka Ramdani, Hariono, Nova Arianto (A team) and D Angga Putra (B team)

Well most of the u-21 players are reserve players for the super league teams so they didnt get that much opportunity
