Squad15 Sep 2031

135 days out for Sávio after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. PSM will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match13 Sep 2031

PSM win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 96th minute. Persija will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings15 Sep 2031

Kodai Tanaka scores twice — 8.75

Two goals and a mark of 8.75 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad15 Sep 2031

Tempers go at PSM

Aloísio Soares 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.

Squad15 Sep 2031

Trésor Mossi 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.

Match13 Sep 2031

Kodai Tanaka sends PSM past Persija

It finished 2‑1, and it was Kodai Tanaka’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to PSM.

Player ratings15 Sep 2031

Luka Čumić beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout15 Sep 2031

Samuel Reis gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad15 Sep 2031

Home is on Francisco Lino's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; PSM are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Luka Čumić beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 39. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market25 Aug 2031

Itay Solomon hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what PSM can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout25 Aug 2031

Ofek Peretz: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” PSM have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad25 Aug 2031

A row about effort at PSM

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dušan Lagator was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad25 Aug 2031

Tempers go at PSM

Hamoud Bassam 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.

The dugout25 Aug 2031

Sávio gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match23 Aug 2031

Kodai Tanaka sends PSM past Persijap

It finished 1‑0, and it was Kodai Tanaka’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to PSM.

Player ratings25 Aug 2031

Kodai Tanaka takes the honours

Marked 7.63 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, PSM had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout25 Aug 2031

Hendro Firmansyah has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Hendro Firmansyah on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Nobody could get near Sheriddin Boboev

Successful dribbles: 33. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings4 Aug 2031

A brace, and Luka Čumić takes the afternoon — 8.55

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Luka Čumić provided it, and the 8.55 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match4 Aug 2031

PSM refuse to drop out of the race

Position 3, 58 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad4 Aug 2031

Luka Čumić is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.56 with 16 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Firman Pratama 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.

Boardroom4 Aug 2031

PSM counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at PSM now.

Squad4 Aug 2031

A row about effort at PSM

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dušan Lagator was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad4 Aug 2031

Tempers go at PSM

Victor Luiz 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.

In brief

  • Match PSM get the job done against Borneo
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Market Itay Solomon is free to find somewhere else

Squad19 May 2031

The knee: Alfeandra Dewangga out for 49 days

49 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. PSM lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match14 May 2031

PSM march on in the cup

Madura United are out and PSM go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market19 May 2031

Only the photograph left for Samuel Reis

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Samuel Reis will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around PSM the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Player ratings19 May 2031

Lorenzo de Paula was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad19 May 2031

A row about effort at PSM

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Trésor Mossi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match17 May 2031

Nobody wins at PSM

8 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Player ratings19 May 2031

Itay Solomon in the eights

A performance of 8.01 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings19 May 2031

Luka Čumić was the difference for PSM

Marked 7.77. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad19 May 2031

A falling-out at PSM

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

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Paulo Ricardo
  • The dugout Luka Čumić gets picked when it counts
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
