jpnn.com – JAKARTA – The Kemayoran Tigers of Persija Jakarta are aiming for three points from the home match against Dewa United, in the 5th week of League 1 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Jakarta, Monday (16/9) evening.
Persija’s ambition is burning because they were hurt after losing to PSBS Biak the previous week.
Persija coach Carlos Pena admitted that he had prepared the team optimally to achieve the three points.
According to him, the performance of Riko Simanjuntak et al. has been evaluated, so that the defense line is more solid and the front sector is sharper.
“I’m sure our players are very focused for this match. We know that the last match (vs PSBS) was not good, and we want to play a good match (vs Dewa United) to get rid of the bad feelings and get the three points here at home,” said Carlos Pena.
He also commented on the strength of Dewa United who successfully won the previous week.
“Dewa United are a very tough opponent. They are a good team with many national team players, with quality players,” Carlos said.
“However, I don’t really care about the opponent because we are focused on giving the best version on the pitch. We come from a bad result and I want my team to show a different energy,” he added.
