[00:00:00] Primetime News viewers, Indonesia will host tomorrow. Singapore coach Gavin Lee cannot
[00:00:04] play Kyoga Nakamura. The Japanese-blooded midfielder has to be absent
[00:00:07] due to an accumulation of yellow cards. This is an advantage
[00:00:10] for Indonesia because Nakamura has always played
[00:00:14] as a starter in three matches against Cambodia, Timor Leste
[00:00:18] and also Vietnam. Meanwhile, in the Indonesian national team camp, they will not be
[00:00:21] strengthened by Marselino Ferdinan who is confirmed to be absent from the AFF Cup
[00:00:25] 2026 due to injury. We will continue the discussion with
[00:00:29] Coach Kurniawan and
[00:00:31] Singapore will not have the 30-year-old Japanese midfielder
[00:00:35] Kyoga Nakamura. Do you think this is an advantage
[00:00:38] for Indonesia, coach?
[00:00:41] Eh, for sure, in terms of
[00:00:45] strength, it will be slightly reduced, but
[00:00:48] we know and don't be too
[00:00:51] overconfident with Nakamura's absence because
[00:00:55] Singapore always plays collectively. That's an important
[00:00:58] note so far. Singapore plays as
[00:01:02] a very collective team, very tidy
[00:01:05] in defense and
[00:01:08] I hope that our national team will
[00:01:12] put more people when attacking and when there is a
[00:01:15] positive transition, we win the ball, that must be
[00:01:18] faster to the front, direct play
[00:01:22] so that when
[00:01:24] Singapore's defense is not ready, we have already placed more people in
[00:01:28] position and maybe this is one of. one of our
[00:01:32] weapons to break Singapore's defense because
[00:01:36] yesterday, when we played against Vietnam, we transitioned but
[00:01:39] the ball went wide more often so
[00:01:42] Vietnam quickly reorganized
[00:01:45] in defense and this made it very difficult for us and it seems that
[00:01:49] the Vietnamese team had already targeted that before stating that
[00:01:53] we are wary of several players like Tom Hey and Michel Baker but
[00:01:56] Indonesia's real strength lies in collective play.
[00:02:00] Unfortunately, the result was that Indonesia lost to Vietnam.
[00:02:04] Now, Bung Ege, Marselino Ferdinan's absence, could this
[00:02:07] be a problem in losing creativity, especially in
[00:02:11] the midfield of the Indonesian national team, or actually, the Indonesian midfield is fine
[00:02:15] because we already have, we know, the trio of Tom Hay, Ivar Jenner, and
[00:02:19] Marc Klok, Bung Ege.
[00:02:21] Yes, I, when you mentioned those last names,
[00:02:25] maybe I want to confirm with Coach Kurniawan, because I
[00:02:29] saw in the match against Vietnam yesterday
[00:02:32] there were two names that apparently couldn't
[00:02:36] work together well, right? This is just a fact, right, on the field.
[00:02:40] Then it was like chasing the ball a lot
[00:02:43] but it didn't have much effect on our
[00:02:47] game transition, right? In fact, when Bach also helped
[00:02:50] and pushed forward, that became the source
[00:02:54] of the two first goals. And so on,
[00:02:57] our midfield play was relatively boring, Coach
[00:03:00] Kurniawan, right, during the match against Vietnam. So what
[00:03:04] I mean is, of course, if
[00:03:08] Marcelino was there, our choices would be more numerous because we know he
[00:03:11] is very clever and calm, even against a team like
[00:03:15] Saudi Arabia. But we have to accept
[00:03:18] that Marcelino cannot be here now. We return to our
[00:03:22] midfield that might be filled by
[00:03:26] Jenner, Tom Riders, and Donny Pamungkas, for example. If
[00:03:29] we start with 3-4-3, then when attacked, it can become 3-5-2. So
[00:03:33] I think we have players who can
[00:03:37] be there and it really depends on their readiness or
[00:03:40] also in football there is an off day, right? A good day,
[00:03:44] a brilliant day, and when that happens, of course,
[00:03:48] John Hadman and his team can
[00:03:52] see it and immediately try to make changes because, once
[00:03:55] again, what we are facing here is a win-or-lose match.
[00:03:58] Okay, Coach Kurniawan, is that true?
[00:04:02] If evaluated and analyzed from the match against
[00:04:05] Vietnam yesterday, there are some players who might be able to improve
[00:04:09] their game to achieve better results, Coach Kurniawan?
[00:04:13] Uh,
[00:04:15] if we look at the evaluation of the Vietnam match, I
[00:04:18] uh, what's it called, this is not my capacity to judge, actually,
[00:04:22] but visibly, this is my POV, uh, yesterday
[00:04:26] it was indeed uh Elkan Baggott played on the right.
[00:04:30] But actually, when playing 3-4-3, Elkan Baggott's job
[00:04:34] in defense was to be a fullback, right? To be one of the five
[00:04:38] at the back. So this is what Vietnam really exploited.
[00:04:40] They knew that on the right side, Elkan Baggott was not in
[00:04:44] his position, right? It's different, perhaps, from when
[00:04:48] Yakob Sayuri or Yance could go up and down.
[00:04:51] But he might have
[00:04:54] a new position where he has to attack
[00:04:58] as a winger, and when defending, become a fullback. That's one.
[00:05:02] Second, I also saw Tom Hay's position yesterday.
[00:05:05] It was actually 3-4-3, and he was
[00:05:08] in the attacking midfield but more to the right
[00:05:12] or left side, right? Maybe this is what
[00:05:15] made him unable to perform optimally
[00:05:18] when facing a team as strong as Vietnam, right? Maybe when playing against
[00:05:22] Cambodia and, uh,
[00:05:26] Timor-Leste, maybe
[00:05:29] it was okay, not as strong
[00:05:31] as Vietnam. But when facing
[00:05:35] Vietnam, it was very clear that Tom's energy was really drained
[00:05:38] because, well, he had to play attack.
[00:05:42] He had to go out and then defend
[00:05:46] as a back four. So this is from my POV, correct me if I'm
[00:05:50] wrong, but this is what I saw in the match against Vietnam
[00:05:53] yesterday. Okay, hopefully it can be a point
[00:05:56] of evaluation before the match against Singapore at the Jalan Besar
[00:06:00] Stadium. Bung Ege, do you want to watch live there to feel
[00:06:03] the euphoria? We hope playing
[00:06:06] at the opponent's home will be a motivation in itself, right? It will
[00:06:09] be a booster to play better. Thank
[00:06:13] you, Bung Ege, Coach Kurniawan, for joining Primetime
[00:06:16] News. And viewers, in a moment, the Attorney General's Office
[00:06:20] is not provoked by the challenge from Febri Adriansyah's camp for investigators to disclose
[00:06:23] the owner of hundreds of billions of rupiah and 74 kg of gold.
[00:06:27] The Anti-Corruption Court emphasizes that proof is not presented in
[00:06:30] public but in the courtroom. Stay with
[00:06:34] us.
[00:06:43] All this time, we felt we knew
[00:06:45] Indonesia,
[00:06:48] even though what we saw was often just
[00:06:51] the surface. Behind the seemingly
[00:06:54] ordinary routine, there are traditions, beliefs,
[00:06:57] and life choices that are continuously
[00:07:00] lived, not for
[00:07:02] display. Seeing Indonesia
[00:07:06] is not about what is visible, but about
[00:07:09] what has been overlooked.
[00:07:13] This is about and for those who are full of
[00:07:17] questions, who choose silence. We must remember
[00:07:20] that power belongs to the people, sovereignty belongs
[00:07:24] to the people. We must exercise power for the benefit of
[00:07:28] the people. This is the place for policy makers to answer
[00:07:31] all questions, as well as a space for the people to understand their value
[00:07:35] to the nation, Indonesia's priority, every Monday to
[00:07:39] Friday at 3:30 PM.
[00:07:43] All this time, we felt we knew
[00:07:45] Indonesia,
[00:07:48] even though what we saw was often just
[00:07:51] the surface. Behind the seemingly ordinary routine, there are
[00:07:54] traditions, beliefs,
[00:07:57] and life choices that are continuously lived,
[00:08:01] not for display.
[00:08:04] Seeing Indonesia is not about what
[00:08:07] is visible, but about what has been
[00:08:10] overlooked.
[00:08:17] Controversy, exploration of opinions in a
[00:08:20] didactic event, presenting the best from two
[00:08:23] different directions, heated intellectual competition,
[00:08:27] argumentative in maintaining views. Who is
[00:08:31] most successful in gaining trust? You
[00:08:33] decide. Debate with substance without small talk.
[00:08:37] Controversy every Tuesday at 9 PM only on
