Guinea U-23, an African Team with a European Flavor with 10 Players Playing on the Blue Continent

Guinea U-23 is the team that will be faced U-23 Indonesian National Team in the playoff match for tickets Paris 2024 Olympics . The match is scheduled to take place at the Center National du Football, 9 May 2024, at 19.00 WIB.

Guinea U-23 is not a team that can be underestimated. The team made by Kaba Diawara is known to have a fairly capable squad in every line.

Even though Guinea U-23 was born in Africa, did you know that the majority of their players play in Europe? So it is not surprising that many people say that the team ranked fourth in the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations has a European style of play.

In the context of football in Europe, there are several types of games that can be recognized based on playing style, strategy and team characteristics. Starting from tiki-taka, counter attacks, pressing the opponent aggressively (gegenpressing), playing defensively, pressing using wing attacks (wing play)

In other words, the Guinean U-23 players may already be used to the coach instructing them in a European style of play. However, this depends on how Kaba Diawara applies his strategy when facing the Garuda Muda Squad.

Although each type of game has its own advantages and disadvantages. But what you need to remember is that each coach will adopt this strategy and combine several of these strategies depending on the opponent they are facing and the conditions of the match.

Of course, this is a very valuable experience for the Indonesian U-23 National Team to test their strength against Guinea U-23. Moreover, the Garuda Muda squad had less than good experience against teams with a European playing character. This happened in the semifinals of the U-23 Asian Cup when they were defeated by Uzbekistan with a score of 0-2.
