01:55arrive late

02:09we're making our selection
02:10but everyone's healthy

02:26next one
02:31hello coach
02:32hello Kevin
02:33I'm Percy from compass.com
02:35coach obviously you can only take 23 personnel in the final squad
02:39that means
02:40giving out some of our players
02:42I want to know your reasoning in not choosing several regulars like Mark, Ellie and Beckham in the final team
02:49how did you come to the decision and how do they handle themselves
02:53and secondly
02:55with the players that are available now
02:57when in the
02:58in the FF Cup
02:59there is a perceived
03:00lack of creativity
03:01during the FF
03:02with our
03:03supporter
03:04our team
03:05supporters
03:06perhaps we are relying too heavily on crosses for Mitch
03:1069 open play crosses during the tournament
03:12it worked against Laos
03:14but Vietnam and Singapore
03:16it does not work so well
03:18with the availability of Ole, Luke and Dean joining up for the first time since round 4
03:24how will their presence changes your attacking approach to the games in this tournament
03:29especially
03:31how do you see Luke in this team
03:33will he be a white forward inverted winger or
03:36thank you coach
03:39you know I'm over 50
03:42my memory is not the best
03:44so I'll do my best with that
03:45I'll start with the last part
03:48as I've said
03:49the AFF tournament is very different to the FIFA ASEAN
03:54AFF
03:55we have a different squad
03:58this is the squad I've worked with in March
04:00this is the squad I've worked with in June
04:02we've instilled an identity
04:04that's been successful
04:05the fans have really enjoyed our style of play
04:09we've got a lot of good comments on that
04:11and unfortunately in football
04:13you can dominate territory
04:15you can dominate the crossing stats
04:18you can dominate regains in the opposition's half
04:21and sometimes
04:23football doesn't give you the results
04:25and that's part of the game
04:27and we accept that
04:28but I'll keep saying
04:29there are two different teams
04:32there's the FIFA ASEAN team
04:34and the AFF team
04:35and you're going to see the FIFA ASEAN team
04:38so
04:39we'll see how that one shows up
04:41and whether they can live the identity
04:43we've seen in March and June
04:45that
04:46brought us clean sheets and wins
04:49and I think the second part of the question
04:51it's really difficult to pick a 23-man roster
04:55for this tournament
04:56I mean even with the absence of Jay Estes
04:59our captain
05:01that was really
05:03really a tough loss for us
05:05but
05:06there's a group of 23 that are here
05:09ready, want to step up
05:10I'm excited to see Kevin Dix
05:13wearing the armband as well
05:15very deserved
05:16and the players that were left out
05:18the doors always open
05:19as I've said to them
05:20you know
05:21their performances
05:22at club level
05:23their careers
05:24will tell a story consistently
05:27and the players you're specifically talking to
05:30about
05:30it always comes down to profiles
05:33I'll look at which players in their position
05:36are going to give us the profile to play the identity
05:39that will deliver us success
05:42and for those players
05:43nothing to do with attitude
05:45or their commitment
05:46or desire to play for Indonesia
05:48it comes down to form
05:50or
05:50whether there's a different profile we need for this tournament
05:54based on the mix of players
05:56thank you
05:59ah Luke
06:01yeah Luke's profile
06:02and again
06:03you know when you're looking at the selecting players
06:05in those wide right areas
06:06you know
06:08some of the players are left out
06:09are more inside forwards
06:11they like to roll into pockets
06:13they don't have the same level of explosiveness
06:16or 1v1 directness
06:18Luke is a very direct profile
06:21and the way that we play
06:22we'll use them in that way
06:25to keep them wide
06:26and look at the opportunities to go 1v1
06:29and get him behind his fullback
06:31I mean that's
06:32that's the profile that
06:33we really need in that position
06:36so
06:37let's see if he gets minutes
06:41thank you
06:42thank you
06:42thank you
06:42thank you
06:47hi coach
06:48i'm the informational radio station RRE
06:52besides winning
06:53is there any specific target that you want to achieve with the team tomorrow
06:56against Bangladesh
06:57and for Kevin
06:59just one simple question
07:00is there any communication that you do with Jay
07:03regarding now you are
07:05as a captain
07:06maybe there is some advice from him
07:08thank you
07:11oh sorry
07:12with Singapore
07:15actually me and Jay are very close
07:19I think
07:21weekly
07:21daily we have contact
07:24and of course now also
07:25I just spoke to him before the press conference
07:27but it was not about the press conference
07:28but it was more about other things
07:31yeah Jay is missed
07:33he gives me advice
07:35of course
07:35but we have to do it with the players we have here
07:39and we have plenty of quality
07:40plenty of talent
07:41we are in the process
07:42we are playing in the identity we want
07:45and yeah Jay is of course missed
07:47and I have contact with him
07:49that was your question
07:53I think the target
07:54if you think of the game tomorrow
07:56so as I said
07:57there is a group of players that haven't been together for 3 months
08:00their job is to connect quickly
08:04around our tactical framework
08:06I can sense
08:08behind the scenes
08:09off the pitch
08:10this is a tight group
08:11you know they came together very quickly
08:14you hear the energy
08:15the laugh
08:16you know these boys enjoy being here together
08:19but now it's
08:21brushing off the cobwebs
08:23brushing off the rust
08:24not getting frustrated with
08:27that potential clunkiness
08:29that comes when a team hasn't played together for a period of time
08:32so for me it will be managing
08:35frustration
08:36to make sure that they can keep their mind on the task
08:39which is getting on the right blade of grass for each other
08:42you know delivering a home identity
08:45a performance
08:46our fans can be proud of and they can be proud of
08:49so as I keep saying this is
08:52us versus us
08:53if we reach our levels
08:55you know I think the talent is here
08:57and it should be enough
09:00but
09:01we have to manage the frustration in that first game
09:05you know you don't bring a team together for 3 months
09:08and expect it to be
09:10you know a Rolls Royce
09:12it will be a little bit clunky at times
09:14and we have to work through that
09:18thanks
09:18thanks
09:26Ryan with the Asian Game here
09:27question for both of you
09:28the last international tournament was the Hyundai Cup
09:31that ended with a draw that probably felt like a loss against Singapore
09:35how nice is it that the football gods have you facing them here at home
09:39and how much
09:40you mentioned frustration
09:42how much does that play into this opening match
09:45having them here at home
09:46and getting that chance for revenge right away
09:51yeah football
09:52what you said the football gods sometimes work in that way
09:56but that's football
09:57that's part of it
09:59as you said also the frustration
10:00the opening game whatever
10:01you have to be mentally on a thousand percent
10:04and that's what I'm expecting from all the team
10:07and also for myself
10:08and I think that's the best way
10:10make a wrong pass
10:11think about the next ball
10:12get a duel wrong doesn't matter next ball
10:14and I think the big part of the football is mental
10:17and if you're mentally strong
10:18you can reach levels that you have never seen before
10:27maybe less listening
10:28ok
10:29hi coach
10:30it's Melvin from the Straits Times in Singapore
10:32it's been 2 months since that 1-0 draw at Jalamsa
10:36what have you learned from it in your review
10:38and how will you apply it in the match tomorrow
10:43I think a big learning coming out of that game
10:46is Singapore Resolute team
10:49they're tactically tight
10:51it's a group of players
10:52that have played together under the same coach
10:55for at least a year and a half
10:57so they've had a lot of time together
10:59they understand each other
11:01their tactics, the system
11:03and when you look qualitatively
11:05they're one of the most experienced in the tournament
11:07when you look at total number of caps
11:09yeah, they sit right up there
11:11so we might have high qualitative advantage
11:15when it comes to our team value
11:20but that team value is only as good as the experience
11:24and the quality and the ability to put it together
11:27I think Singapore
11:28have that experience
11:30they have that experience
11:31they have a desire
11:32they bring a fight
11:33they have a collective mentality
11:35and they can make it difficult for you
11:37they can be very stubborn
11:39which is what we learned in Singapore
11:46thank you
11:47thank you
11:47thank you
11:48a little bit more information
11:52following the first match
11:53we will not be doing the
11:56traditional circling of the stadium
11:58to greet the fans
11:59keeping in mind
11:59this is our very first match of the tournament
12:02we still have a long way to go
12:04and as well the late kickoff
12:06it's going to kick off at 8pm
12:08as opposed to the 7 we used to
12:10we need to maximize every minute we can
12:12in that two day turnaround
12:13before we face Malaysia
12:15so thank you
