Market

Muhammad Ridwan 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 The request is on a desk at PSM, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

6 saves: Hilman Syah was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The dugout

Ananda Raehan keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” PSM may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

PSM count the cost of losing Hilman Syah

28 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Words exchanged at PSM

Aloísio Soares and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

PSM come up short against Persija

Persija left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

No hiding place for Kodai Tanaka

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kodai Tanaka, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Andi Lilipaly: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Luka Čumić

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Muhammad Ridwan asks to leave PSM

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Fahrul Aditia has said yes to Persijap

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. PSM have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

PSM say no — this time

The offer from PSIM for Jacques Thémopelé was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Tempers go at PSM

Hilman Syah 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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Buyung Ismu Lessy

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

Transfer targets

A loan move for Jasey Wehrmann is in the works

PSM have made the call to Madura United. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Market

Sheriddin Boboev linked with a move away

The name of Sheriddin Boboev keeps appearing in other people's back pages. PSM say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

The manager makes Agung Mannan a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at PSM. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

The dugout

Resky Fandi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Muhammad Ridwan breaks a bone — 74 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 74 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

A falling-out at PSM

Hilman Syah and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

221% of the income goes out in wages at PSM

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Reza Arya Pratama is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Reza Arya Pratama has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad

PSM have started building around Dušan Lagator

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

Market

The Kodai Tanaka question follows PSM around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Kodai Tanaka’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
