PSIS Semarang Brings Mission To Disrupt Arema FC At The Top Of The Indonesian League 1 Standings

JAKARTA – PSIS Semarang has set a high target when they will play the 2021/2022 Indonesian Liga 1 continued match against Arema FC. Mahesa Jenar's troops have the ambition to bring home the full points.

This week 20 match will be held on Monday, January 17, at 20.45 WIB, at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, Bali. PSIS came in much better prepared to take home the numbers.

"We analyzed Arema's game in the previous two matches and we improved our own team. Tomorrow we are optimistic to get the three points against Arema," said PSIS coach Dragan Djukanovic as quoted from the club's official website, Sunday, January 16.

Optimism was also conveyed by PSIS mainstay player, Pratama Arhan. He said that he and his teammates were determined to seize the three.

"Our preparations are good. I personally who just arrived are also in pretty good condition. Yesterday we joined training and our preparation was quite good. Several tactical programs have also been provided by the coaching team and we are optimistic to win tomorrow," said Arhan. If you want to get maximum points, Mahesa Jenar must be much sharper in the penalty box.

"We have prepared the team tactically. During training, we divided the team into two groups, namely the attacking and defending groups. Because previously we were not satisfied with the finishing, that's what we emphasized in training," said Dragan quoted from the club's official website.

Facing Arema is clearly a tough task for PSIS. Because Singo Edan now occupies the top position of the standings board with 40 points.

Meanwhile, Dragan's team is still occupying a position outside the top four. They are 10 points adrift of Arema and fill the sixth place in the standings, trailing Borneo FC in seventh position with the same number of points from 19 matches.

Arema itself clearly carries the mission of winning in this match. If they lose their position will likely be shifted by Bhayangkara FC who is trailing in second place with the same number of points.
