The forthcoming match between Persija Jakarta and Dewa United in the 27th week of Liga 1 2023/2024 presents a formidable challenge for the coach, Thomas Doll, as he grapples with an injury-laden squad.
Scheduled to take place at the I Wayan Dipta Stadium in Bali on Saturday, March 2, 2024, at 8:00 PM WIB, the Kemayoran Tigers are preparing to face Dewa United after a string of disappointing performances. Coach Doll, a former Borussia Dortmund coach, is determined to lead his team to victory following three consecutive losses, the most recent being a defeat against Arema.
Despite his determination to secure a win, Doll is facing a major setback as several key players are set to miss the match due to injuries. Notable absences include Gustavo Almeida, Maciej Gajos, and the questionable appearance of Ondrej Kudela due to illness.
Left with a depleted squad, Doll expresses hope in the remaining players such as Firza Andika, Riko Simanjuntak, Andritany Ardhiyasa, and Dony Tri Pamungkas, emphasizing the need for them to step up and demonstrate the team’s quality to secure a victory and bring joy to the supporters.
As the team currently occupies the 11th position in the standings with 32 points, they are in a precarious position, with only a four-point lead over Persita Tangerang, who is in the relegation zone.
It is evident that coach Doll faces an uphill battle, and with the limited support from his injured players, the odds are stacked against Persija Jakarta as they prepare to take on Dewa United. However, despite these challenges, Doll remains optimistic and is determined to rally his team to triumph in the upcoming match.
Ultimately, it will be a test of coach Doll’s leadership and the resilience of the remaining squad as they strive to defy the odds and secure a much-needed victory.
