JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta successfully defeated Dewa United in the 2022/2023 Liga 1 continuation, Monday, April 10. In that match, the Kemayoran Tigers won 1-0 through Hansamu Yama's only goal in the 96th minute.
However, the Persija match against Dewa was marked by chaos between players. The commotion occurred after Lucas Ramos kicked Doni Tri Pamungkas in the face during a duel for the ball.
Lucas was then sent off by the referee. However, there was friction between the players of the two teams.
Persija Jakarta coach, Thomas Doll, is not happy with this. He criticized the attitude of the players from the two teams which he considered too easy to get emotional in such situations.
"Reactions of some people after that incident that I cannot understand. Sometimes we are like animals, we do not follow the rules, we want to hit someone," Doll said after the match, as quoted by Antara.
"I think a situation like that could happen, but no one can lose their minds," said the former Borussia Dortmund coach.
However, there are things that still make Thomas Doll feel happy. He is satisfied that his team now occupies second place in the standings.
The victory over Dewa United has now made Persija now collect 63 points and has the right to shift Persib Bandung from second place in the Liga 1 standings.
"Of course now we are happy, we are in second place, that is the target. And yesterday before the match against Persib, the situation was completely different," said the German.
"Now we are in second place in the league. This is a good situation," he continued.
Doll then talked about Hansamu Yama's contract which became Persija's hero in the match against Dewa United. The contract of the former Persebaya player in Surabaya will expire at the end of this season.
Doll is quite sure Hansamu will extend his tenure in the Kemayoran Tigers.
"In my opinion, it's only a matter of time for him (Hansamu) to extend his contract because he is happy with Jakarta, he plays here, he returns to the national team, he knows how to play football," said Doll.
