2022-08-05 01:07SURABAYA -- Persebaya coach Aji Santosome assessed that the mental strength of the players was the key to his team's victory over Persita Tangerang in the second week of Liga 1 at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium in Surabaya, Monday (1/8) night.
"The pressure of losing in the first match is motivation for us. The boys proved it on the pitch and we played together with great enthusiasm," he told reporters after the game.
In that match, Persebaya won with a score of 2-0 through goals scored by Sho Yamamoto in the 23rd minute and Rizky Ridho in the 57th minute.
He acknowledged this victory as an important capital to face the third week match against the host Bhayangkara FC on Sunday, August 7, 2022.
His team thanked the thousands of supporters, dolls, who for 90 minutes did not stop singing to support Rizky Ridho and his friends, including the prayers of Persebaya fans outside the stadium.
The AFC Pro licensed coach admitted his team played well on all fronts, from goalkeeper, back, center and front row.
"Riswan is playing in League 1 for the first time with us and has proven his quality, including Risky Dwiyan, Deny Agus, and other young players. I am sure in the future we will be more compact and perform better," he said.
In addition, the appearance of three foreign players also became a positive spotlight from Aji Santoso because he was able to appear confident and repeatedly endangered Persita's defense.
"Sho Yamamoto enjoys playing, scoring goals and creating some chances. Even though Junior Silva doesn't score goals, he can open opportunities, and Vidal with his individual actions," said Aji.
