But for Irsyad Aras who used to be positioned as a winger in Persisam the match versus Persisam will be just like his other match with Persela Lamongan. “There’s nothing special with this match, I just want to be professional, I want to give my team now my best performance.” said Irsyad to Pusam Cyber after his training with Persela.

Jerry Karpeh was listening to Coach DR's instructions

The up and down of Karpeh’s performence drawn the head coach Daniel Roekito’s attention. In his oponion, Jerry’s performance is increasing, but it doesn’t happen when he received a lot of compliments.

“I think it’s natural when a player is praised by their supporters when he does play well in a match. But for Jerry Karpeh, I suggest the supporters don’t give him too much compliments, because his performance will be declining, I don’t know why but it is the fact based on the recent situation.” said Roekito about his player.

Meanwhile for Jerry Karpeh himself, he almost got his carreer in Persisam ended tragically when Pusamania tried to force the management to fire him when his performance showed no progress. But after being pushed like that, Jerry Karpeh is proofing himself through contributing 4 goals for Persisam.

And Pusamania as the supporter of Persisam Putra Samarinda want Jerry Karpeh to keep his progress and scores more goals for his team on the match today (2/6) and 0n every match.
