Reaction of Bung Towel as Uzbekistan Defeats Indonesia, Finally Expressing Gratitude to Shin Tae-yong

Dream - Football observer Tommy Welly or Bung Towel responded to referee Shen Yinhao's decision in the semi-final match of the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup between the Indonesian National Team and Uzbekistan on Monday, April 29, 2024. One of Shen Yinhao's controversial decisions was to cancel Muhammad Ferrari's goal. In the YouTube Spotify Indonesia video, Bung Towel cheered when Ferrari successfully scored against Uzbekistan in the 62nd minute.

However, he showed a disappointed reaction when referee Shen Yinhao canceled the goal because he judged Ramadan Sananta to be offside. When the goal was scored, Bung Towel immediately raised both hands and cheered along with other sources. "See, I told you. This changes the situation," said Bung Towel.

However, after a while, referee Shen Yinhao decided to check the VAR. From the VAR, it can be seen that Ramadan Sananta's right foot was in an offside position.

"It's actually a momentum that can change the course of the game if we take the lead in this tendency (to win), but VAR is involved," said Bung Towel. He compared it to when the Indonesian U-23 National Team played against South Korea, where at that time Garuda Muda benefited from VAR with the disallowed goal of South Korea. "Now we are disadvantaged by VAR, yesterday we played against South Korea twice and both times the goal was disallowed and there was a penalty. If there was no VAR, that goal would have counted," said Bung Towel.

Different reactions were also shown by Bung Towel when Rizky Ridho was given a red card by Shen Yinhao. Rizky Ridho was given a red card after fouling Uzbekistan player Jasurbek Jaloliddinov. Bung Towel even immediately leaned his body on the sofa while holding his head. "Yes, because of VAR, it's difficult. Rizky Ridho is the center back, one-on-one duel, there is no replacement for Rizky Ridho. Komang comes in as the midfielder, or Kely goes out again. At first, I admired him because he managed to do it one-on-one, but VAR looks at the final movement, if he pulls again, then it's a foul. The language of the field is combined, but there is VAR," said Bung Towel.

Especially when Pratama Arhan made a mistake resulting in an own goal. In the 86th minute, Ernando actually managed to block the free kick.

However, the ball escaped and headed towards Khusanov. Unfortunately, the ball hit Arhan instead due to pressure from the Uzbekistan player and went into the goal. "Actually, the goalpost helped us four times already, this is the fourth time. Ernando was surprised, he thought Arhan was the opponent, Ernando was surprised. It seems like it hit Nando, but Nando was surprised. It hit the goalpost four times, the goalpost once and the post three times," said Bung Towel. Despite suffering a defeat against Uzbekistan, Bung Towel finally praised the performance of the U-23 Indonesian National Team coach, Shin Tae-yong.

"Yes, if we talk about the target, it has already passed. It's okay," said Bung Towel. According to him, the materials of Indonesian players are not sufficient to compete against Uzbekistan. "Because it is indeed difficult, because if we talk about materials, it's heavy, we can't get it. It's understandable, it's reasonable, we say thank you (to Shin Tae-yong)," he said."

He remains optimistic that the Indonesian national team will get an Olympic ticket. "There is still one more chance, there are still two opportunities," said Bung Towel.
