Beating Petrokimia, Popsivo Begins Steps in Proliga with Positive Results

Yogyakarta, Beritasatu.com – The Jakarta Popsivo Polwan women's team started their steps on the second day of the first series, Proliga 2024 with positive results after beating Gresik Petrokimia Pupuk Indonesia, at GOR Amongrogo Yogyakarta, Friday (26/4/2024).

The children from the National Police club won with a score of 3-1 (29-27, 25-18, 23-25, 25-18) over Petrokimia Gresik.

This victory over Petrokimia was enough to make Popsivo coach Lardi feel satisfied. “Thank you for support from the players and supported by the supporters,” said Lardi after the match.

According to Lardi, his team lost in the third set. This was because one of Popsivo's mainstays, Arsela Nuari Purnama, was not involved due to illness during that set.

“That's why our strength is reduced. Luckily we were able to win the fourth set again,” he said.

One of Popsivo's foreign players, Irina Voronkova, feels lucky to be able to adapt to the weather or environment in Indonesia. “In fact, there are no problems adapting to teammates during training or matches,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile, Petrokimia coach Pedro Lilipaly said that in this first match we still had no luck. “We still have a lot to evaluate in the future. It's a normal first match,” said Pedro.

“We need to improve the mentality and fighting power of the new players in this first match,” added the Petrokimia team captain, Mediol Stiovanny Yoku.
