The Persis Post

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

The small margins put Persis out

Out, 1‑1 to Semen Padang, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

Faqih Maulana puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Persis, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Persis go back to the board over Rangga Muslim

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $10.0K — a club that wants Rangga Muslim enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Persis walk away from Rangga Muslim

$10.0K was the most the club would pay and Dewa United were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

Dimitri falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Muhammad Natsir

Persis asked and Dewa United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Tempers go at Persis

Andrei Alba was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Abu Kamara

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Player ratings

Feby Eka Putra stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.52 on the card, and the Persis support went home talking about one name.

In brief
