De Red FC targets victory against Kendal Tornado FC
De Red FC is aiming for a full three points in their Liga Championship season opener against Kendal Tornado FC. The match is scheduled to take place at the Gelora 10 November Stadium in Surabaya on Saturday, September 12.
Coach Aji Santoso emphasized that while victory will not be easy, success depends on the players' hard work, cohesion, and ability. He noted that the team has studied the strengths and weaknesses of Kendal Tornado FC, who finished fourth in the standings last season.
Given that eight of De Red FC's regular players were born in 2008, Santoso is placing a heavy focus on physical and mental preparation to ensure the young squad maintains the confidence necessary to perform well. To provide leadership on the pitch, Wisal El Burji has been appointed as the primary captain, supported by deputies Panggih Prio Sembodho and Adam Maulana.
