BOLANAS.COM – Bali United is no longer a team capable of maintaining excellence until the final whistle, Persija and PSM gave punishments in the last two matches.
Bali United can no longer rely on various techniques to buy time at the end of the game after seeing the results of the matches against Persija Jakarta and PSM Makassar.
Stefano Cugurra’s team has been hated by the Indonesian public for various actions that wasted time when they were ahead in League 1 matches.
However, the last two matches have shown that Bali United is a team that is easy to concede in the last minute.

In the match against Persija Jakarta, Sunday (15/1/2023), Bali United ended the first half with a 2-1 win.
To maintain that advantage, the Serdadu Tridatu players took turns falling, pretending to be in pain, and asking for treatment.
Novri Setiawan, Privat Mbarga, M Rahmat, and Muhammad Ridho annoyed The Jakmania by continuing to scatter on the field.
It’s a shame that this stalling action embarrassed Bali United, because of Persija’s two goals in the 97th and 100th minute.

Bali United also had to admit Persija’s victory, while covering up the shame of wasting so much time but still losing.
Then in the match against PSM Makassar, Friday (20/1/2023), Teco’s troops again pocketed a 2-0 advantage at the start of the second half.
Unfortunately the advantage at home (even at the Sultan Agung Stadium) was wasted due to PSM’s two goals in the final period.
Haudi Abdillah did not help his team by getting a second yellow card in the 84th minute.
Kenzo Nambu reduced the score in the 72nd minute, and Yuran Fernandez equalized in the 86th minute.

Bali United can be said to have earned karma for various time-delaying techniques that have been used so far in League 1.
Persija coach Thomas Doll was not impressed with this method and warned his players not to imitate.
“Actually this is not true and I have never seen this in Europe,” said Doll, who has handled Borussia Dortmund (15/1/2023).

“I just saw this in Indonesia and I’m getting used to it.”
“Back when I was still a player and was injured so I couldn’t play, I chose to leave the field so as not to waste match time,” he explained.
“I’m not talking for Bali United but for everyone, I also tell Persija players not to do that,” he said.
With these two negative results, Bali United is stuck in fifth place, and is four points away from PSM at the top of the standings.
