Persija Faces Madura United In Bali, Thomas Doll: Consistency Is Key

JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta will play the match week 25 of Liga 1 2023/2024 against Madura United at the I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, Bali. Ahead of the match on Thursday, February 22, 2024, Thomas Doll as the coach will emphasize his team's consistency in order to achieve maximum results.

Persija became the traveler in Bali. The party has become one of the last 10 matches in the competition. Seeing the importance of this meeting, Thomas Doll is targeting perfect points.

"I consider what is needed for the match against Madura United is more concentration. The rest we have trained on the field," said Thomas Doll, quoted from the official website quoted on Wednesday, February 21, 2024.

In addition, the Kemayoran Tiger players were also asked to play carefully and reduce individual mistakes.

"The most important thing is that everyone must play carefully so that individual mistakes that often occur don't happen again. That's my message to the players," said the coach.

Meanwhile, Doll also hopes that Rizky Ridho and colleagues will be able to bounce back in the remaining 10 games of the season and learn from previous mistakes.

"We will play in Bali in the next three matches. The step to get up from this situation is in their own hands."

"I hope that all players can continue to learn from previous mistakes and gradually start winning matches one by one," he said.

Apart from that, Persija Jakarta must be the team for tourists in Bali which is valid for the next two matches after fighting Madura United. The situation in Jakarta has forced the Kemayoran Tigers to be temporarily evicted.

Doll also admitted that he missed the presence of supporters in every home game. He remains optimistic about the team's performance even without supporters.

"Of course we will miss our supporters, but this is a situation we have to go through. After that, I'm sure all the situation can be well controlled," said Thomas Doll.
