Marked for Suleiman Badaru

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad22 May 2028

Andhika Ramadhani decides it from twelve yards

2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match17 May 2028

Persebaya through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Persik, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match20 May 2028

No end in sight to Persebaya's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Persebaya has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings22 May 2028

Suleiman Badaru runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad22 May 2028

Tempers go at Persebaya

Jefferson 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 ratings22 May 2028

Nothing got past Jayus Hariyono

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 20 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings22 May 2028

Nothing got past Gustavo Fernandes

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 19 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Nothing got past Ziyad Mallah

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 19 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad22 May 2028

The manager makes an example of Sadida Nugraha Putra

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Francisco Rivera signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Francisco Rivera and Persebaya agree another 2 years.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Francisco Rivera 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 Persebaya this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Persebaya lose Pedro Matos

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match4 Mar 2028

Persebaya see off Persijap

Three points for Persebaya, 2‑1 the final word against Persijap in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

A masterclass from Francisco Rivera

Marked 9.01 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

Bruno Moreira in the eights

A performance of 8.42 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Suleiman Badaru wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Persebaya know it.

Player ratings6 Mar 2028

Teppei Yachida runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom6 Mar 2028

Persebaya counting the cost

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

Boardroom24 Jan 2028

Pressure builds in the Persebaya boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Francisco Rivera 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 Persebaya this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market24 Jan 2028

Francisco Rivera linked with a move away

The name of Francisco Rivera keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Persebaya say nothing, which says plenty.
