JAKARTA - PSM Makassar will face Borneo FC in the 24th week of Liga 1 2021/2022 at Kompyang Sudjana Stadium, Denpasar, Bali, tonight. Ahead of the match, Joop Gall, the coach of PSM Makassar, hopes that his team can perform better in order to win.

Despite having high hopes for the team's performance, Gal also admitted that it was quite difficult to prepare the team optimally. The reason is that they only have an average time lag of three days between matches, besides that the recent surge in COVID-19 cases could be something unexpected for the condition of the players.

"The results of the PCR test in the midst of COVID-19 will also surprise us about which players can be played or not, even though we have prepared them. Those who come back negative will be very lucky," Gall told a virtual press conference ahead of the match, quoted from the club's official website.

PSM Makassar is currently still in tenth place in the standings with a total of 28 points. Meanwhile, Borneo FC, which will be a potential opponent, is in 6th place with 34 points.

Even though they have a long distance, PSM is still optimistic that they can win tonight's match. Especially if you look at the previous appearances, Gall believes that his team can show good developments in every match they play.

"We don't underestimate Borneo and they don't underestimate us either. But if we want to increase our ranking in the standings, we have to win," he said.

"I saw in the previous few games that we could be more disciplined and I hope we will continue to improve in the future," hoped the coach.

Optimism was not only expressed by the coach, the senior defender of the Juku Eja squad, Abdurrahman also showed the same attitude. He even claimed to respect his former club.

Even so, he and his colleagues promised to keep fighting extra hard to get a satisfactory result and bring home the three points from this meeting.

"All PSM players are ready, as is Borneo, we respect them. Borneo FC is a good team and we are ready to fight in tomorrow's match," said Abdurrahman.
