Liga 1 2023/2024: Persik Kediri Vs Madura United, Renan And Jefinho Become New Workers For White Tigers

JAKARTA - Persik Kediri will face Madura United in the 19th week of Liga 1 2023/2024. The hosts hope to play a complete team soon in the match because of the poor results in the previous match.

Persik's match against Madura United will be held at Brawijaya Stadium, Kediri on Wednesday, November 8 at 15.00 WIB. Previously, Persik reaped the rewards when he visited Borneo FC headquarters.

In order to improve performance in the East Java derby, Persik hopes to immediately play a complete team in the next match. This means that the hosts hope that two players have been injured so far, Jefesson Jefindo Vieira and Renan Silva.

Coach Marcelo Rospide said that currently the team is continuing to monitor the development of Jefinho and Renan. This is in the hope of playing both of them during a clash with Madura United.

"We are still seeing the development of injured players," Marcelo said referring to Renan and Jefinho.

The Brazilian coach later said Jefinho had continued to show positive developments so far. His condition is better than before.

In the last exercise before leaving for Samarinda City, the player actually joined his team-mates despite his special training.

In contrast to Renan, who still has to be sidelined. Until yesterday, the former Persija Jakarta player was still struggling with the recovery of conditions. The player with the number 10 jersey has not yet conducted training with his teammates.

Despite the current condition of the players, Marcelo hopes that both of them can attend to host Madura United. As additional ammunition faced third place in the standings.

If Renan and Jefinho could join forces, Marcelo would have many options to formulate an attack for the team nicknamed the White Tigers. The presence of these two players will provide varying stock of players for a match scheme that is not monotonous.

Regarding the target, the coach admitted that the third point was the fixed price. Moreover, they intend to avenge their 3-2 defeat to Madura United in the first round last August.

Persik has more advantages in the match later. Because they are certain to get an injection of enthusiasm from supporters who come directly to Brawijaya Stadium.

Meanwhile, after losing to Borneo FC last week with a score of 0-3, the Persik players got a little one-day holiday. Even though the time is short, it is enough for the recovery of players.

"Even for the initial training we will do recovery first," he continued.
