Persebaya held a tribute to the late Andi Krostianto or Andi Peci at the "Persebaya 99 Anniversary Game" match against PSIS Semarang at the Gelora Bung Tomo (GBT) Stadium, Surabaya, Sunday.
Persebaya midfielder Rachmat Irianto admitted that he did not directly follow Andi Peci's struggle in overseeing Persebaya's revival.
"I thank Mas Andi Peci for fighting for Persebaya's return to the Indonesian League," said Rachmat Irianto at a press conference after the match at GBT Stadium in Surabaya, Sunday.
According to Rian, he only joined Persebaya in 2017 after the club was re-recognized.
He is grateful to be part of Persebaya, which is back competing in the Indonesian League, and prays for Andi Peci to get the best place in God's sight.
