Fitness of national team members below medium level

Solo, C. Java - The 20 percent fitness of the national soccer team members is still lower than medium, so that the team needs effective training programs, a coach assistant said.

"Compared with the fitness of other Asian Pre World Cup 2014 teams, that of the national team members is still lower than medium," national coach assistant Liestiadi said here on Sunday afternoon following the national team`s exercise in the Manahan sports stadium.

Thus, the national soccer players need to increase their stamina to at least 30 percent.

Although the team`s stamina after the exercises for three days in Solo Manahan stadium has increased, but they have not reached a high level, so that their physical condition needs to be improved, he said.

The coordination and communication among the team members should be conducted more effectively and smoothly, Liestiadi cited.

In addition, the national team members also corrested their playing system in a bid to make some elementary analysis, Liestiadi said, explaining that effective communication is needed in the soccer.

Prior to the match against Iran, there are still three weeks of preparations, he said.

"In the fasting month of Ramadhan, we should be able to adjust the condition of the players to enable them to play games, apart from the physical exercise only," he said.

Meanwhile, physical coach Raymond Verheijen left Indonesia on Sunday because he is also needed by the Wales team. (B003/H-NG)
