JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta coach, Angelo Alessio asked his team to get up and perform optimally in the continued match of Liga 1 2022. Facing Tira Persikabo, Alessio called it an important match and Persija must be able to win.

The meeting between Persija and Tira Persikabo will be held on Friday, December 3 at 20:45 WIB. Playing at the Sultan Agung Stadium, Bantul, this match will be an encounter in the 15th week of Liga 1.

Alessio himself considers the meeting with Tira Persikabo as an important match. The reason is, this could be the momentum of the Kemayoran Tigers after swallowing consecutive defeats in the previous matches.

"We know how important this match is. We have only lost twice. We are also very aware that we do not have more time to prepare for this match," said Angelo, quoted from Persija's official website.

Furthermore, Alessio asked the Kemayoran Tigers to appear alert when hosting Tira Persikabo. Because, at this time the opponent is also in high confidence after bagging the victory against Persela Lamongan.

"We really understand that Tira Persikabo won 4-2 over Persela. They are trying to get up," said Angelo.

"Tira Persikabo are a good team. So, we respect them. We need to play well for that match. We need our best game to win the game," he continued.

"We have to be more aggressive in attack and concentrate more in midfield and at the back, so we can score goals and not concede. Only in that way can we win and get out of a bad situation like now," said Angelo.

Regardless of what Alessio asked his players, Persija actually had a good record when they met Tira Persikabo. Because, from the last four meetings in Liga 1 2019 and the 2018 Indonesian Cup, Persija won two wins and the other two ended in defeat and a draw.
