JAKARTA - Persis Solo coach, Milomir Seslija, will escort the team to visit Persija Jakarta headquarters. Although he realized that the opposing team did not look limp, it was considered that Milomir did not reduce the strength of the Kemayoran Tigers.

The Persija vs Persis match will be presented in the 31st week of Liga 1 2023/2024 at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Senayan, Wednesday, April 17, 2024, WIB night.

The Kemayoran Tigers as the host do have only 15 players available. Persija experienced this situation because five of their players were called up by the U-23 Indonesian National Team for the 2024 U-23 Asian Cup in Qatar.

In addition, a number of names were also confirmed due to injuries and card accumulation.

Despite appearing with a limited squad, Milomir Seslija thought that this condition would actually benefit Persija Jakarta. The reason is, this difficult situation will make the Kemayoran Tigers play more decisively for victory.

This will clearly put pressure on Persis. Moreover, Persija appeared in front of its own supporters.

"Fifteen players is a sufficient number. In fact, 13 players can also be sufficient numbers for them (Persija)," said Milomir Seslija during a press conference, Tuesday, April 16, 2024.

"This situation is actually in a dilemma that might benefit Persija. On the one hand, the pressure will be at Persis Solo," said the coach who is familiarly called Milo.

Despite his views on the condition of the Persija squad, Milomir emphasized that actually nothing was outperformed from this match. According to him, the two teams had the same chance to win.

Milo then gave an example of Persikabo 1973. The team has been confirmed to be relegated, but surprisingly managed to beat Bali United who were at the top of the match on Monday, April 15, 2024.

"However, in Indonesia there is no team that is much stronger or better so that they have guaranteed to win."

"For me, the Indonesian League is like the Premier League. There is no better and better team to become winners."

"As we saw yesterday there was Persikabo who could record victories beyond the expectations of many people," he said.
