The Bali United Training Center in Gianyar, Bali, suddenly became noisy on Monday (6/5/2024) afternoon. The commotion arose shortly after the referee blew the whistle to start the opening match of the U-17 Women's Asian Cup between South Korea and North Korea. In fact, the match was attended by almost no spectators apart from a few invited guests and the media.
There are no cheers from supporters or chants of encouragement from the stands. The source of the noise actually comes from the field itself. The players, both those in the game and those on the bench, are the ones creating the noise. They shout out the names of their teammates or provide support for those who are competing.
Cheers can be heard when a player successfully blocks the opponent's ball or thwarts the opponent's attempt to attack. A similar shout arises when a player successfully passes the rival and penetrates their defense. Don't ask if a goal is scored, the Bali United Training Center will surely be lively at that moment.
"The noise" was also evident in the game played by the Korean duo. At first, both teams played super aggressively and intensely. However, as time went on, South Korea couldn't keep up with the fast pace and high pressure from their neighboring country.
Ultimately, amidst the noise, North Korea emerged as the winner of the match. North Korea showed its superiority over South Korea with a 7-0 victory. Led by coach Song Sung-gwon, the team prevented the "Taegeuk Girls" from avenging their loss in the 2017 AFC Women's Asian Cup final or their defeat in the group stage of the 2019 edition.
You have to talk more on the pitch, you have to be loud on the pitch, don't be silent.
North Korea, which can arguably be associated with the AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup as they have won it three times, also put pressure on South Korea. However, South Korea was the most productive team during the qualifiers, scoring 51 goals. Won Ju-eun, who was also the top scorer in the qualifiers with eight goals, was unable to break through North Korea's defense.
Contrast
Meanwhile, the second match on the same day between Indonesia and the Philippines went the other way. Before the spectators came and voiced their support, the field felt quieter than the previous match. There were screams from some players, but not many. Especially from the Indonesian players who didn't make much noise throughout the match.
The goal scorer against the Philippines, Claudia Scheunemann, agreed that the Indonesian players didn't talk much on the field. Therefore, communication between players is still an aspect that must be improved.
"You have to talk more on the field, you have to be loud on the field, don't be silent," said Claudia after the match against the Philippines.
In training on Tuesday (7/6/2024), Coach Satoru Mochizuki also emphasized the same thing to his players. There are several things that are used as material for Mochizuki's evaluation, one of which is communication on and off the field.
According to him, communication is an important aspect for football players to master because they play as a team. Smooth communication among players will help their game.
"When there is an attack, for example, the back player must be alert. The back player must also communicate, asking their teammates to help with defense. Communication is necessary, as it minimizes mistakes," said Mochizuki.
In terms of communication, it wouldn't hurt for Indonesian players to learn from the Korean duo, who will be the next opponents.
When facing South Korea on Thursday (9/5/2024) or North Korea on Sunday (13/5/2024), Claudia and her friends don't need to be surprised if their opponents are noisy. Indonesia instead should show that they can also provide the same or even louder noise.
