Bhayangkara FC's Ambition for a Quick Return to BRI Liga 1

Persebaya Surabaya's lineup for BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 features prominent names such as Ernando Ari, Francisco Rivera, and Bruno Moreira. Following a tough 2023/2024 season, Persebaya has made significant improvements. Francisco Rivera, last season's best player, is anticipated to boost their attack with his creativity. Moreover, Flavio Silva, who netted 23 goals for Persik Kediri last season, joins as a key striker. The team also retains essential players like Ernando Ari and Bruno Moreira, known for their reliable performances.

Former Indonesian National Team and Persib Bandung player Gian Zola Nasrulloh has found a new club for the next Liga 1 season. He has signed with Persita Tangerang. Persita announced Gian Zola’s arrival on Friday night (July 26, 2024). Last season, he played for PSIS Semarang in Liga 1. "I’m very happy to join Persita, especially since there are many players I already know here," said Gian Zola. "I’m in great condition right now and ready to train with my new teammates. I’m prepared to work hard and follow the coach’s instructions," he added. The former Persib academy player began his professional career at Persib in 2016. Gian Zola spent five seasons with Maung Bandung and had two loan spells at Persela Lamongan in 2018 and the 2021/2022 season. He made 21 appearances last season with PSIS, scoring one goal without any assists and receiving four yellow cards. "My hope is, of course, to perform better than last season. I want to contribute more to the team, both in goals and assists," said Gian Zola, who has made three appearances for the Indonesian National Team. "Always support us wherever we play, and also pray that I can adapt quickly and that Persita can finish better than last season," he added.

Persebaya has a tradition of developing young talents, with players like Andik Vermansyah, Evan Dimas, Rachmat Irianto, Rizky Ridho, and Toni Firmansyah having achieved success. For the 2024/2025 season, Alfan Suaib is a name to watch. Having impressed during the 2024/2025 pre-season, Alfan Suaib, who was a trainee last season, shows promise as a winger and could be a valuable option if Malik Risaldi or Kasim Botan are not performing at their best.

Bhayangkara FC is regretting their 2023/2024 season, which ended with relegation from BRI Liga 1. Consequently, The Guardians will play in Liga 2 next season. However, Bhayangkara FC is eager to return to the top flight as soon as possible. The team has been preparing rigorously since early June 2024 and has strengthened their roster for Liga 2. They have signed notable players like Ilija Spasojevic from Bali United and Andy Setyo from Persikabo 1973, both of whom have international experience with the Indonesian national team.

In the 2024/2025 season, BRI Liga 1 clubs are permitted to sign up to eight foreign players, with no restrictions on their nationalities. Persebaya Surabaya has added Darryl Lachman as their seventh foreign player for the 2024/2025 season. Initially, Persebaya planned to use only six foreign players, but recent developments led them to recruit Darryl Lachman. Darryl Lachman, a 34-year-old central defender, previously played for Perth Glory, participating in 23 games during the 2023/2024 season. Lachman has experience with Dutch clubs such as FC Groningen, PEC Zwolle, FC Twente, Cambuur, and Willem II. PSBS Biak has also added a foreign player, signing Jaimerson Xavier, who played for Persis Solo last season. Check out the complete list of foreign players for each club in BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 below.

04/08/24 Borneo 1 - 1 (4-5 pens) Arema

Arema FC will play in front of their home supporters, which might be crucial in increasing player motivation. Yet, there is a risk that Singo Edan might be mentally exhausted after their intense pre-season clashes in the 2024 Presidential Cup. Dewa United has a very good squad. However, if coach Riekerink cannot manage them as a cohesive team, their excellent individual talents could backfire. To win, Dewa United needs to play collectively. Predicted Score: Arema FC 2-2 Dewa United.

Arema FC will host Dewa United in the Week 1 match of BRI Liga 1 2024/2025 at Gelora Soepriadi Stadium on Monday, August 12, 2024. The game between Arema FC and Dewa United will start at 15:30 WIB, broadcast live on Indosiar and Vidio. Arema FC is riding high after winning the 2024 Presidential Cup. The Singo Edan have been impressive, with foreign recruits like Lucas Frigeri and Willian Marcilio making significant contributions to the team. Dewa United will be a tough opponent for Singo Edan. The arrival of Hugo Gomes, Taisei Marukawa, and Alexis Messidoro shows their big ambitions. Their attacking lineup, featuring Egy Maulana Vikri and Alex Martins, is formidable.

Dewa United (4-3-3): Sonny Stevens; Ady Setiawan, Brian Fatari, Risto Mitrevski, Reva Adi; Theo Numberi, Jaja, Alexis Messidoro; Egy Maulana Vikri, Alex Martins, Taisei Marukawa. Coach: Jan Olde Riekerink.
