Suara.com – Madura United coach, Fabio Lefundes asked his team to focus on hosting Persib Bandung in Week 19 of the BRI League 1 match at Gelora Madura Ratu Pamelingan Stadium, Pamekasan, Friday (20/1/2023) evening.
Lefundes wants Madura United to be wary of all Persib players, not just one player, because according to him all of Maung Bandung’s players can cause them trouble.
“In that team (Persib) everything is balanced in all positions. If we focus on just one player, we will lose focus on 10 other players because they also have quality. We have to be ready for whatever we will face,” Lefundes said as published by Antara, Thursday (19/1/2023).
Furthermore, the Brazilian coach assessed that there had been changes in Persib Bandung’s game since being handled by the Spanish coach Luis Milla.

According to Lefundes, the game shown by Persib in the last few matches was far different from the meeting between the two teams in the first round of League 1 this season.
In that match, Madura United managed to steal three points from Persib’s cage after winning the match with a score of 3-1 at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Bandung.
Even though he considered that his opponent had shown an increase in performance, Lefundes ensured that he had prepared a strategy to anticipate the game of David Da Silva and his colleagues.
“They came a new coach and changed their way of playing. I think they appear more offensive too,” explained Lefundes.
“I have studied their game to anticipate their strengths and weaknesses for us to exploit,” he concluded.
