The Persijap Gazette
Match19 Aug 2026
Persijap out of the cup
Persib ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Match22 Aug 2026
No end in sight to Persijap's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Persijap has to find a result from somewhere.

Restu Akbar 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 The request is on a desk at Persijap, and it is not being withdrawn.

Nobody could get near Najeeb Yakubu
Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tiri in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Persijap this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match22 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for Persijap against Semen Padang
1‑2 to Semen Padang, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

No hiding place for Najeeb Yakubu
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Najeeb Yakubu, and the manager let it.

The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Andri Saddil left the room before anybody could ask which.

Sendri Johansyah has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Persijap will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
