Indonesia, don't be Startled, Gumunan, and Dumeh

Meaning what else can we take from the first round results AFF Cup final 2010 between Malaysia and Indonesia? Three goals without reply that Rajagopal's men managed to scored the goal Markus Horison help us, to borrow a phrase in the song KLA Project, "willing, come down to earth".

Before the final match took place, euphoria breaks out everywhere, permeate through the layer elite elite subjects. Subjects among the elite and even the fair sex who had not previously been directly watch the football match at the stadium was willing to queue for hours to buy tickets to watch their favorite teams games.

Unfortunately, their willingness is not accompanied by professional organizers to manage ticket sales. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the layer of the elite, both sporting and political elites, all of them as a race want to show, that he (they) who share the critical success factors of national team football in the early rounds AFF Cup 2010.

Then came the fateful night at the Bukit Jalil Stadium. We made surprise, despite never losing 1-5 in the group stage, it was Team Malaysia can still find many weaknesses in the defense of our national team. And regardless of the incident laser beam which contributed to the decline in the concentration of our players, the 0-3 defeat by Riedl is recognized not solely because of the incident.

In the eyes Riedl, Malaysia's first goal which is printed on the 61st minute was a turning point squad game crash of Garuda. This is the first meaning of that defeat: ojo kagetan, do not easily shocked.

After the defeat in the final leg of this first, should we become aware of the soccer world, there are no shortcuts in obtaining a strong national team. Naturalization, which was previously considered by the elite PSSI as "panasea" "drugs of all kinds of illnesses during the period of our football world leadership Nurdin Halid, it turns out he was" placebo "that only sheer able to give effect (positive) moment. Because only a "placebo", he can not be expected to always give effect to every situation and condition.

This is the second meaning of defeat at the Bukit Jalil Stadium was: ojo gumunan. It is true that the presence of Cristian Gonzalez and Irfan Bachdim come to bring fresh air in the game farm team Riedl. However, we must be ojo gumunan alias can not easily impressed and fascinated because someday they will be powerless to face meeting the opponent's defense line. Therefore, competition is spinning correctly and coaching players from an early age remains a major prerequisite come and gotten the national team is really tough that can be victorious in the various championships that follow.

The third meaning, ojo dumeh (do not just because), it should be used as a lesson for Nurdin Halid and his men at the FA or else by Menpora. Just because the National team is flying, the players were involved and preoccupied by things beyond the technical affairs of football. It did not take long we can already see the results.

Now, we just hope in the remaining time available Alfred Riedl and his assistant coaches managed to fix all the weaknesses of the national team. Also, hopefully there is a miracle took place during the second game in GBK Senayan Stadium on 29 December so that Indonesia could become AFF Cup Champion 2010.

Finally, once the most important, first-round defeat at AFF Cup 2010 Final match turned out to be a "blessing in disguise" for our football world. With all the events that occurred during the AFF Cup 2010, and with a performance as has been shown PSSI board in previous periods, it should be the national football stakeholders can make decisions about what is the best step that can be taken in order to save the future of football national. Will the best step that can be realized?
