JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta reaped bad results in the 26th week of Liga 1 2023/2024. They lost to Arema FC at Stadium I Wayan Dipta with a score of 2-3.

The defeat was the third in a row. Before losing to Singo Edan, the Kemayoran Tigers also lost to Borneo FC (1-3) and Madura United (0-1).

Thomas Doll as Persija coach did not say much. Only sorry that he wanted to convey to the fans after the match against Arema.

"I apologize to the supporters, The Jakmania, who watched from television," said Thomas Doll during a press conference after the match.

In that away match, Persija tried to perform optimally in order to break a negative record. Even though he had opened the scoring first, at the end of the match the Kemayoran Tigers were even defeated.

Meanwhile, Thomas Doll is reluctant to make it far from supporters an excuse. He further emphasized that individual player errors are a negative result factor.

"In a situation like this, individual concentrations and mistakes occurred today (against Arema), not because we played in Bali," said Doll.

As is known, Persija must be a temporary team of travelers and make Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium a home.

The German coach needs to prove that appearing far from Jakarta is not a significant problem. The following match, aka the 27th week of Liga 1 2023/2024, is a place of proof.

Persija will host when they host Dewa United at the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium on March 2, 2024.
