Indonesia has already secured fourth place with its victory over China and advanced to the fourth qualifying round to save its hopes for the World Cup finals, but the result of the match against Japan was disastrous. Kubo Takefusa (Real Sociedad), Daichi Kamada (Crystal Palace), Ryoya Morissita (Reggia Warsaw), Shuto Machino (Holstein Kiel), and Mao Hosoya (Kashiwareysol) were allowed to score in succession. He was dragged around the game all the time, and it was hard to find the performance he showed in the game against China.
The greater disappointment was bound to come from Japan's roster. Japan replaced most of the players except for some key players such as Kubo and Kamada in this June's A-match, forming a list to check their power. In the Asian qualifying round, it proved to be powerful enough even with the 1.8-gun level. Sepakbola of Indonesia was completely helpless by the Japanese 2nd Army. Not a single shot was recorded in 90 minutes. Japan took the lead and pressured Indonesia from the beginning of the first half, and Indonesia had no way out of the pressure. Indonesia's helplessness was evident in the lack of scoring opportunities.

Coach Klawibert said in a post-match press conference, `I realized that the Japanese national team is of good quality, and as an individual and a team, it is at the level of the World Cup finals. I'm sorry about the result. Both me and the team need to learn from this experience. I want to take this result seriously and respect Japan", he accepted his defeat.
A comparison with Shin Tae-yong, who played for the Indonesian national team after the loss, also appeared. Some Indonesian media evaluated that Shin Tae-yong's performance was better, pointing out that `Kluivert should improve both attack and defense.'

In this situation, even rumors of Kluivert's resignation emerged. Some Indonesian fans said on social media 'Kluivert made surprising remarks after his crushing defeat in Japan. He has decided to resign as head coach of the Indonesian national team and has said he will no longer meet with the national team. He said he decided to leave because he thought he could not raise the national team to a higher level. Therefore, he has resigned, and now he needs to find a new director,' he said, sharing the theory of Kluibert's resignation.
However, the claim turned out to be untrue. Antara News clarified that it was false information, saying 'According to the news, no official statement has been made on Kluibert's resignation'
Despite Indonesia's hopes of advancing to the World Cup finals by advancing to the fourth qualifying round, there are many criticisms against Kluibert. In order to overcome criticism, the only way is for the Kluivert to prove as a result in the fourth qualifying round.
