JAKARTA The women's volleyball team Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk Indonesia is determined to wipe out two matches at home against Jakarta Livin Mandiri and Yogya Falcons in the continuation of the 2025 Proliga First Round.

Both matches were held in a row on Friday, January 10, 2025, and Sunday, January 12, 2025, at GOR Tri Dharma, Gresik, East Java. The match is part of the first round of the second week.

"Our target is of course to win two games at home. We will face our opponents optimally. We are motivated to get the perfect points at home," said Petrokimia coach Ayub Hidayat.

Gresik started the season brilliantly when they met Jakarta Pertamina Enduro in the first week, January 5, 2025. At that time they successfully won 3-0 (25-20, 25-23, and 25-20).

The victory made them collect three points and sit in third place in the 2025 Proliga standings. Ayub's students are behind Jakarta Electric PLN in first place and Popsivo Polwan in second place.

Ayub has evaluated several notes during the first week in Semarang. For this reason, he wants his team to be able to secure full points when they get the opportunity to be supported by the public itself.

"Our service often errors, the second is receiver. Often see each other when the ball arrives. Don't know who will accept it. It shouldn't happen again," he said.

On the other hand, Livin Mandiri also got good results when he met Jakarta Pertamina Enduro in the first week. With both capitals not lost, the duel between the two teams will be hotter.

Jakarta Assistant Manager Livin Mandiri, Adnan Husein, said that his troops were also determined to overcome Gresik Petrokimia's resistance to continue a positive good trend.

"We focus on training to overcome our shortcomings while in Semarang. Our determination in Gresik was to win because the 2025 Proliga competition was very tight. All matches were very important," he said.

In round I of Proliga 2025, newcomer Yogya Falcons is likely to fall prey to Gresik. The team, which was strengthened by Sabana Altynbekova, is not yet in their best form.

They are currently at the bottom of the standings without points. This happened because in the previous two matches in the first week everything ended in defeat.

"In general, training as usual, but more intense and harsh. Some points that become weaknesses or shortcomings when playing in Semarang are the focus for improvement," said Yogya Falcons manager Pipit Puspita Rini.
