Suara.com – Barito Putera coach, Rodney Goncalves said his team is ready to go all out against the host Borneo FC in Week 19 of the BRI League 1 match at Segiri Stadium, Samarinda, Saturday (21/1/2023).
Rodney said Barito Putera was trying to make amends for their defeat the previous week after losing 1-2 to Madura United at the Demang Lehman Stadium, Martapura.
The Brazilian coach realizes that the match against Borneo FC will not be easy, but he is sure that Barito Putera has the strength to carry out this match.

One of the names that Laskar Antasari brought in was Brazilian striker Gustavo Tocantins who in the first half became the kicker from Persikabo 1973.
Gustavo is expected to be the right partner for Barito Putera’s striker, Rafael Silva, who has made 14 appearances so far and contributed 9 goals and one assist.
Rodney added, even though they lost the match against Madura United, the team performed quite well in terms of play and it was just that carelessness in the final minutes of the match allowed the opponent to steal the winning goal.
“We have good players, it doesn’t matter if we are old players or new players. When anyone is ready, I will give them the opportunity to perform even better as a team,” he said.
