Speaking on Goal newspaper, Semen Padang Club’s General Director Mr. Erizal Anwar said: “Participation in BTV Cup 2013 will prepare carefully for the next season. Semen Padang’s players were not in play-offs, thus they need to play more to maintain performance, especially when competition in the new season will be fiercer”.Currently, Semen Padang does not have to compete in play-off round at Indonesia Premier League, because they will go straight to the final round, while 10 remaining teams have to compete to find a candidate entering the final match.
