Kapanlagi.com - The Indonesian national team will play the first leg of the 2020 AFF Suzuki Cup final against Thailand on Wednesday (29/12). This is the most anticipated match by the Indonesian people, including comedian Ronal Surapradja.
As an Indonesian citizen, the actor of the film MAU JADI APA? is confident that Asnawi and his friends will win against Thailand in the first leg.
"Indonesia must win, even 1-0 is enough for me. 1-0 and 0-0, I have a feeling that the aggregate will only be one goal. So let them fight on the field, let us, the Indonesian people, pray individually," said Ronal Surapradja at the PO Jakarta Selatan studio, Monday (27/12).

Undeniably, the Thai team is a tough opponent that Indonesia must face in the final match. Moreover, history also records that Thailand has always managed to defeat the resistance of Garuda.
"It's all about belief, we have to believe first, if we lose on the field later, we have to accept it. But if we haven't done anything yet, we shouldn't dream. Even though Thailand is a tough opponent," he said.
2. Indonesian National Team's Defense Was Struggling
Indonesia qualified for the final match of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2020 after defeating Singapore with a score of 4-2. Ronal said that based on previous matches, the Indonesian national team's defense was struggling at times.
"We tend to struggle when we are attacked, so the hope is to be prepared when we counterattack, afraid of a quick counterattack by Thailand. We shouldn't be complacent when we are attacking," said Ronal.

It is known that the second leg semi-final match between Indonesia and Singapore made everyone feel anxious. Apparently, Ronal also felt the same way. He admitted feeling tense while watching Indonesia against Singapore yesterday.
"Oh, don't ask again. I was watching at home in Bandung. My parents were continuously reciting prayers, and it turned out that it went viral because there was a little child praying. Well, I think that's how much love the Indonesian nation has for its national team," Ronal concluded.
