Indonesia confident ahead of must-win Singapore clash in AFF Cup

The Indonesian national football team is brimming with confidence as they prepare to face Singapore in a decisive ASEAN Championship match. Midfielder Marc Klok stated that confidence is the essential starting point for any team. Indonesia, currently third in Group A with six points, needs a victory against Singapore to secure a semifinal spot, as they are one point behind their opponents and level with Vietnam at the top of the group.

“

We are very confident. I think the starting point for a team is confidence.

Klok acknowledged the team's previous 0-3 loss to Vietnam but stressed their resilience. "The strongest way to demonstrate a team's identity is the ability to bounce back when the going gets tough," he said. He affirmed that the squad is united behind coach John Herdman's plan and ready to give their all for the Indonesian public.
