Persib Bandung player Adam Alis emphasized that his team must play flawlessly when facing Ratchaburi in the last 16 of the Asian Champions League II, with the first match to be held at their home ground tomorrow, Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. WIB at Ratchaburi Stadium, Thailand.
Adam stated that Persib must play their best as the competition has entered the knockout stages. The slightest mistake could result in his team's elimination, and therefore, a perfect performance is essential to advance to the next round.
"All preparations are going well. We hope to achieve maximum results," Adam said, as quoted by Persib's website on Tuesday.
The Super League leaders have been back-to-back champions for the past two seasons, but their opponents are no ordinary opponents.
Ratchaburi is the second-placed team in the Thai League with 38 points, having won their last league match in the domestic competition.
"I think Ratchaburi FC is quite strong. I see they've brought in new players. They're at the top level now. We can't underestimate them; we have to stay focused on our own team to achieve maximum results," said the 32-year-old.
