PORTALUTAMA.NET, GRESIK — Laga bertajuk debi Jatim bakal tersaji saat Arema FC akan berhadapan dengan Persik Kediri pada pekan ke-31 BRI Super League 2025\/2026 di Stadion Gelora Joko Samudro Gresik, Minggu (3\/5) sore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pelatih Arema FC, Marcos Santos menegaskan persiapan timnya sudah maksimal, tidak hanya dari sisi taktik tetapi juga mentalitas. “Persiapan kami berjalan baik. Kami juga harus memotivasi dan menggerakkan pemain,” ujar pelatih 46 tahun itu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baginya, laga ini bukan sekadar perebutan tiga poin, melainkan urusan harga diri dan pembuktian karakter setelah hasil memalukan pada laga sebelumnya melawan Persebaya Surabaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meski posisi Arema di klasemen terbilang aman dari zona degradasi, Santos menolak anggapan bahwa timnya bermain tanpa beban. “Pemain adalah profesional yang dibayar untuk memberikan terbaik. Kami terus menuntut sikap itu, karena masih ada peluang naik ke posisi lebih baik,” imbuhnya dilansir ileague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Santos bahkan berjanji tidak akan mengulangi kesalahan yang sama. “Saya tidak akan membiarkan dalam empat laga tersisa kami menunjukkan sikap seperti saat melawan Persebaya,” tegasnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Penyerang sayap andalan tim, Taisei Marukawa pun menegaskan bahwa masa pemulihan yang singkat bukanlah penghalang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Kami memiliki banyak pemain bagus, jadi kami siap menghadapi banyak pertandingan dalam waktu singkat. Kami siap memenangkan laga selanjutnya,” ujar Marukawa dalam jumpa pers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eks pemain PSIS Semarang dan Persebaya itu juga sadar bahwa lawan datang dengan motivasi tinggi dan akan bertarung sengit. Namun, ia tetap percaya diri dengan kapasitas timnya. “Saya pikir pertandingan akan berjalan keras, tapi kami bisa mendominasi permainan ini. Kami siap,” tegasnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laga ini diprediksi berlangsung alot dan penuh tensi, mengingat kedua tim sama-sama membutuhkan poin penuh di fase krusial menjelang akhir musim. Dukungan suporter di kandang sendiri diharapkan menjadi suntikan motivasi ekstra bagi Marukawa dkk untuk mengamankan kemenangan.
