JAKARTA - Persik Kediri already has a new coach. The Gading Marten club appointed Divaldo Alves as a substitute for Javier Rocha.

Divaldo admits that he has watched his new team play. He considered that there are still many aspects that need to be improved.

The Portuguese coach said that Persik's problems were one of the less productive front lines. While the defense is so fragile.

In the seven matches that have been played, Persik has conceded 14 goals.

"I see that there are some problems, but I emphasize to all team members not to look back," said Divaldo, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, August 31.

"Time to work hard and start from scratch again," continued the Angolan-born man.

Divaldo realized that he did not have much time to fix his team's shortcomings. His focus now is on the mentality of the Persik players who are getting worse.

"Currently the target is not to talk about rankings, but a better position. Of course at the beginning I have to restore the mentality of the players," said Divaldo.

"After that, we will focus on one game to the next," he continued.
