Indonesia seeded because the Philippines will hold two semi-final party at the Bung Karno, Jakarta. State of the Philippines does not have a decent stadium to be homeground.

Indonesia optimistic faction can beat the Philippines. This is because Indonesia has a good history when it met the Philippines.

But the new force should be wary of the Philippines. The team nicknamed The Azkals it has been transformed into a team with European color in Southeast Asia. This is not separated from their soccer organization policies menaturalisasi 9 players descent. As a result the Philippine squad today met European players bleed.

Philippines demonstrate football postures perfectly. They use tactics latch or bus parking during the preliminary round. Endure total by placing nine players on 16 meters around the box and relying on counter-attack with only two or three players backers. The result is brilliant, during the preliminary round they only conceded 1 goal and managed to subdue the host Vietnam hear net score of 2-0. Filipino young coach, Simon McMenemy know very well how to exploit the physical advantages of the players to implement tactics to survive the total. They built the fort proved very difficult to penetrate.

While coach Alfred Riedl has indicated that Indonesia will play against tonight. Although the total status as the host, but in this first semi-final match the Indonesian national team will act as a ‘guest’. So Red and White teams will try to score as much as possible. Because the AFF to revise regulations on away goals, which uses conventional FIFA rules, ie, away goals count more than the goal cage.

Players should be wary of Filipino descent are duet as James and Philip Younghusband, midfielder Christopher Greatwitch awl, anchor Jason De Jong, and goalkeeper Neil Etheridge. The most influential players in the squad Philippines today is Neil Etheridge. Who was a reserve goalkeeper third English team Fulham’s league is a tough goalie. British blood had inherited not just a sweetener. Refleknya quick and agile, and his game are always stable, in addition to the physical which is very supportive. Her presence is calming for the Philippine defense.

Indonesia, on the other hand, has a wing players are quick and nimble for tearing concrete fortress Philippines. Okto Maniani and M. Ridwan guaranteed to make the player escort him scrambling to survive the Philippines. Not to mention the existence of supersub Arif Suyono are likely to be re-inserted in the last 30 minute second half to give the effect of shock. When Irfan Bachdim be backed up by Riedl, then the front-line duo Red and White is a Christian Gonzalez and Bambang Pamungkas. Both are the target of a qualified man. Gonzalez is able to do keeping (holding) the ball in a long time and create opportunities in the penalty box with cleverness. He also often fall into the middle to pick up the ball when the supply stopped. Meanwhile, Bambang has advantages in terms of bait-bait breakthrough.

However, players who become the foundation of Indonesia for the match tonight was none other than the Word Utina. Playmaker who has just celebrated its anniversary is expected to master the midfield and into the shaft Indonesia to flow into the barrage attack defenses Philippines with one-two touches and unexpected movements. For defense, Indonesia can count on anchor Ahmad Bustomi as a counterweight. Word as a ‘brain’, Bustomi as ‘muscle’.
