Madura United Coach Observes Bali United's Game For The Second Match Of The 2024 President's Cup

JAKARTA - Madura United will face Bali United in the second match of Group B of the 2024 Presidential Cup. The second duel will take place at the I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar, on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.

Ahead of the match, Widodo Cahyono Putro as Madura United coach clearly had to formulate his best strategy. One of the things that the 53-year-old coach did was to rotate the players.

However, this is not the only thing Widodo will do. You see, rotation is carried out as the first step to determine the tactics that will be used after observing the Balinese United style of play.

"We already know (the tactics against Bali United). Hopefully from the evaluation (implemented) to the tactics later," said Widodo Cahyono Putro in a statement before the match quoted on Tuesday, July 23, 2024.

In addition to planning to face opponents, Widodo also did not forget to evaluate his team, including the readiness of players. Moreover, in the last match against Persija Jakarta, Madura United lost 1-2.

"After the first match, of course there will be an evaluation. Whoever will come down, the players are all ready," he said.

Regarding the composition of the players, Madura United is one of the clubs that brought the most new players ahead of the new League 1 season.

This is admitted by the coach enough to affect the chemistry between players who are not yet combined. Even so, Widodo is optimistic that his foster children can adapt through the matches they have, including in the 2024 Presidential Cup.

"I don't think there is a hundred percent chemistry yet. This is an addition so that our team will be even more solid," said the coach.
