JAKARTA - Persija coach Angelo Alessio said there are several aspects that his team must immediately improve so that the match against PSIS on Sunday can achieve even better results.

Persija only won one point in the inaugural match in Liga 1 2021/2022. Appearing at Pakansari Stadium, Bogor, on September 5, Angelo Alessio's team played out a 1-1 draw.

Kind of Kemayoran was actually able to take the lead in the 17th minute after Yann Motta managed to take advantage of a wild ball in front of PSS's goal. However, PSS was able to equalize in the 67th minute through the action of Irkham Mila.

"I think we have to improvise some lines and the way this team plays. Of course, we also have to improve on the attacking side because we created a lot of chances but couldn't score goals", said the 56-year-old coach as quoted from Persija's official website, Wednesday.

"That's why we have to improve our attack and we have to be more in control and defend the ball".

Angelo also realized that his team was still not optimal in flowing and controlling the ball.

"In some situations, we also lost a lot of balls so PSS could take advantage of it as an opportunity", concluded Angelo.
