In the midst of the recovery period, the Brazilian coach carried out an evaluation via video presentation to his players so that previous mistakes during the away match in Bantul, DIY against Barito Putera were not repeated.
Even so, he asked the players nicknamed Serdadu Tridatu to keep working hard to secure the three points.
“The most important thing is that we have to work hard, work better than in the last match, there were lots of mistakes, we also can't concede goals like against Barito Putera,” continued Teco, as published by ANTARA.
In line with the coach, Bali United defender Andhika Wijaya also tried hard to score three points with the other players.
Not only that, he hopes that supporters will fill the Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar Regency, Bali to provide support for the home match, Friday (8/3/2024) at 20.00 WITA.
Support from supporters provides additional ammunition for the players as well as helping to put pressure on the opposing team.
Moreover, the current points tally in the 2023/2024 Indonesian League 1 standings is tied to Madura United in fifth position, who both have 45 points with Bali United in fourth position.
Meanwhile, the guest, PSIS Semarang is in third place with 46 points.
This Friday's match is expected to be fierce and interesting considering that the final four matchup will take place for both teams.
If PSIS Semarang is able to steal points, then the gap between Bali United and Bali United will further widen the gap to four points.
Meanwhile, if Bali United manages to win with host status, then its points will surpass PSIS Semarang.
“We also need support from supporters to fill the Dipta Stadium to provide support to the players,” he said.
