JAKARTA - Rans Nusantara FC will face Barito Putera in the inaugural match of the 2022 Presidential Cup, Tuesday, June 14. This is an emotional match for the Rans coach, Rahmad Darmawan.
The coach of Raffi Ahmad's club will meet his former team. The man who is familiarly called RD was the one who brought Barito Putera away from the relegation zone of Liga 1 last season.
Despite meeting his ex, RD is still aiming for victory. He wants Rans to go far in the 2022 President's Cup so that preparations for the real competition will also be longer.
"The victory target concerns the continuity of this team towards the next round, because the longer this team is in pre-season matches, the preparation for the actual competition will also be longer," said the coach from Metro Lampung, as reported by Antara.
"This tournament is a good opportunity for the Rans team, as a newcomer team in the Indonesian League's highest caste," he continued.
Rans brought 26 players to face the 2022 President's Cup. RD said there were two players who were still recovering from injuries.
Meanwhile, Rans Nusantara FC player Hamdan Zamzani said his team was ready to follow the coach's instructions so that the victory target could be achieved.
"Hopefully the game will be interesting and we can achieve maximum results," he said.
