“I think this is a good test, because PSG has also made long preparations for Liga 2,” said Farid.
Even though they play in the second caste of national football, PSG Pati is not a random team, as the team led by Ibnu Grahan proved to be able to beat Persipura Jayapura 1-0 in a test some time ago.
This means that PSG Pati will clearly be a balanced opponent for Borneo FC, which is currently building up strength in the upcoming competition.
In fact, the management of Pesut Etam also ensured that PSG Pati was not the only test opponent during the training camp in Yogyakarta.

“We are still investigating several possible trials while in Yogyakarta. It could be the League 1 team, the Liga 2 or the Nusantara League team. Obviously, we will be fighting PSG Pati first for this first trial. “, he said.
Farid admitted that the consideration of holding a TC (training camp) outside of Samarinda, namely Yogyakarta, in preparation for the League 1 competition, one of which was the opportunity to test with a team of the same level.
Because, if the training camp is conducted only in Samarinda, there will be one of the difficulties that the coach will experience, which is to see to what extent the progress of the player’s training results is due to the lack of trial opponents in the Etam continent.
