Therefore, ahead of the match against Persebaya Surabaya, the Kemayoran Tigers players must focus 100 percent to break this negative trend.
The euphoria of winning the previous week against Persib Bandung has also passed and Persija Jakarta must immediately build motivation to achieve positive results again.
“Our record for away games is not good because there are many factors that have happened. Many unusual situations have happened with the team,” said Thomas Doll.
“This makes us have to show a different appearance when we do away games later,” he added.
The former Al-Hilal coach also emphasized that apart from the team struggling to win second place from Persib Bandung, Persija Jakarta must guard against being knocked out of the top three.
“Keep in mind we are now fighting for second place. On the other hand we have to defend so as not to get out of third place. So the remaining three matches are very important matches for us,” said Thomas Doll.
In the remaining three matches of this season, Persija Jakarta is targeting to end the season in second place.
This can happen if the team nicknamed the Kemayoran Tigers is able to sweep the remaining matches and on the other hand Persib Bandung, who is in second place, experiences one draw or defeat.
Unfortunately, if you look at Persija Jakarta’s record of away matches, this is a bit at odds with what Persija Jakarta wants to achieve at the end of the season.
The reason is, the last time Persija Jakarta won an away game was when they beat PSS Sleman with a score of 2-0, in match week 17, January 8 2023.
