JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta coach, Thomas Doll, gave an ultimatum to team players ahead of the closing match of Group B of the 2022 Presidential Cup. Doll urged the Kemayoran Tigers to play better against Madura United.

The closing match for Group B will be held on Tuesday, June 28, at the Segiri Stadium, Samarinda. This match is no longer decisive, because both teams are already certain to fail to qualify for the next round.

Even so, Thomas Doll considers this match still important because it is the last chance to record a victory in the pre-season event. Moreover, so far Persija has always lost in the 2022 President's Cup.

"There were many missed opportunities in the previous game. Among them (wrongly making) decisions. This became homework for us," he said at a press conference before the match.

Doll did not forget to give motivation so that the players can be more enthusiastic against Madura United. He also believes Persija will play much better than the previous match.

He does not deny that it takes time and process to build a quality team. This phase is being carried out by the team of Riko Simanjuntak et al.

"I feel that all these mistakes can be avoided in the match against Madura United. Although everyone does not like to lose. However, I want to see the development of the team," concluded Doll.
