Shin Tae-yong enjoyed a 'dance party' with the players in the locker room after Indonesia's progress to the final was confirmed.
[Shin Tae-yong/Indonesia national football team coach: We can get along softly at times rather than always being coercive, so I clapped together and set the rhythm for a while.]
The driving force behind Indonesia's blast is strong stamina and perseverance.
After taking office two years ago, coach Shin discovered young players and changed the team's constitution through intensive training.
In addition, Radoncic of Montenegro, a former top scorer in the K-League, joined as a coach to intensively train the strikers.
In addition, he led the team to the finals for the first time in 5 years by scoring 3 goals per game in this tournament with Shin's unique tactic of changing the formation for each game.
Indonesia is engulfed in the 'Shin Tae-yong craze'.
Local media praised him, saying, "Director Shin brought a Christmas present to Indonesia," and the sports minister even issued a statement thanking coach Shin.
[Shin Tae-yong/Indonesia national football team coach: (via interpreter) I'm hearing things like 'Director, I'm very excited about Indonesia right now'.]
Head coach Shin, who meets in the final with Thailand, the most winning country, is full of confidence toward a new history.
[Shin Tae-yong/Indonesia national football team coach: I think that I have to repay the Indonesian fans because they believed in me…
I am definitely confident.
Indonesian Smangat (Fighting)!]
