– To fill the break in the 2025/2026 BRI Super League competition, PSIS Semarang will play a friendly match against a second-tier team, PSIS Semarang, at the Yogyakarta Independent School (YIS) field on Saturday, December 13, 2025, in the afternoon.
This is a warm-up match for Laskar Mataram before challenging Persijap Jepara in the 15th week, scheduled for December 23rd.
Responding to the match screening, PSIM head coach Jean-Paul Van Gastel did not think too much about the score where his team won 2-0.
For Van Gastel, the focus is on how to restore players’ fitness after a week’s break. He wants to see the physical response and tactical understanding of his players.
“For me, it’s like a match after a week off. We’re trying to get back into rhythm, as well as focus on the physical and tactical aspects of the game we want to implement,” explained the Dutch coach.
Van Gastel also admitted to having difficulty developing their game. “The pitch condition wasn’t good. We struggled to control the game because we like a passing style of play,” he explained.
The situation was complicated by the opponent’s defensive strategy. “With the field conditions like that, plus the opponent playing deeper, the match became difficult,” he added.
Van Gastel himself noted a number of important evaluation points from this friendly match. He realized there are still many gaps that need to be immediately addressed.
“We can fix many things. Clearly, there’s almost never a perfect match, so there’s always something to improve,” said the former Feyenoord player.
Physical preparation is also a major highlight for PSIM ahead of the away match. “We also need to improve our physical aspect. We must be ready for the match against Jepara,” he added.
Regardless of the trial match results, Van Gastel hopes PSIM’s playing identity remains consistent in future matches.
“I hope we can play well, the way we want to, and keep improving that part,” he said. ***
