Quoted from the club's official website on Tuesday, Riekerink said his team has continued to show positive performance that has continued to improve in the last few matches.
The Dutch coach also appreciated the mentality of his players, which he considered to be the key to facing difficult matches.
"Since our last match, we've recorded four wins, one draw, and one loss. It's only a matter of time before we consistently pick up points and get back to our usual form," said Riekerink.
"It was this team's attitude and mentality that enabled us to win the match. Again, this wasn't an easy match, and I commend Arema," he continued.
