Persebaya Points Still Dragging, Big 4 Far Away, Paul Munster Gives Defense

KOMPAS.com – Persebaya Surabaya was only able to draw when they played two away matches in League 1 2023-2024, namely against Persita Tangerang (1-1) and PSM Makassar (0-0).

This result put the team back in the spotlight.

Because coach Paul Munster has not been able to open the tap on points that are dragging. From their four matches in charge, the team has only collected six points from one win and three draws.

This series of results creates doubts that Persebaya will be able to fulfill its target of competing in the top four.

Currently, Persebaya is still stuck in 13th position in the standings with 32 points. The team needs 11 points to be able to shift PSIS Semarang’s position, which is in fourth place with 43 points.

Even so, the number of points for PSIS and the teams above Persebaya will certainly continue to increase over time.

Persebaya is closer to the relegation zone than the top four. The team is only five points behind those in 16th position, Arema FC, who got 27 points.

Responding to this, Paul Munster emphasized that the team never plays around and is very serious about preparing and competing.

However, he reminded that in matches sometimes the results do not match expectations.

According to him, the team nicknamed Bajul Ijo faced very difficult resistance in the last match against PSM.

However, the team survived without conceding a goal so it is an achievement that must be appreciated.

On the other hand, the team continues to process. Even though they failed to win, Persebaya also managed to make a positive note in the head to head record.

This was Persebaya’s first point when competing against PSM. Previously, since Liga 1 2018, PSM always won when they were hosts against Persebaya.
