SEMARANG - PSIS Semarang made a breakthrough shortly after the Indonesian League 1 ended. The club nicknamed Laskar Mahesa Jenar brought two foreign players, Taisei Marukawa and Carlos Fortes.

Marukawa is a Persebaya Surabaya player who was named the best player in the Indonesian League 1 2021/2022. While Fortes is a sharp striker belonging to Arema FC who won the status of the best goalscorer this season.

Marukawa's move was quite a surprise. The reason is, he was ogled by several big clubs such as Persija Jakarta and also the promotion club, Persis Solo.

Marukawa said he was happy to join PSIS. He is clearly aiming for the title with Laskar Mahesa Jenar.

"Many young players here. The stadium is also good. I can't wait to play here. Wait for us to play next season. I also want to win here. We will fight for it," Marukawa said in the club's official website.

No different from Marukawa, Fortes said, wanting to bring positive results for PSIS in Liga 1 next season. He said it was an honor to join the club which was founded on May 18, 1932.

"Hopefully in the future I can bring PSIS to achieve and win many victories. Whoever scores goals, I want to bring PSIS to win as much as possible," said Fortes.
