Match

Persib throw away a 2-goal lead

2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Persijap the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Persib will enjoy reviewing.

Match

A bad afternoon for Persib against Persijap

3‑4 to Persijap, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Teja Paku Alam 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 Persib this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Layvin Kurzawa

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Saddil Ramdani

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Persib dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Squad

Words at Persib training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Saddil Ramdani is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Teja Paku Alam knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Persib, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Player ratings

Andrew Jung changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Persib had a different afternoon.

Market

Persib say no — this time

The offer from Maccabi Netanya for Ramon Tanque 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Berguinho

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Federico Barba stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Federico Barba and Persib agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Thom Haye 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 Persib this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Persib against Persis

1‑2 to Persis, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Layvin Kurzawa is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Persib has been clear about where Layvin Kurzawa stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Thom Haye

“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.

Market

The clock runs on Eliano Reijnders's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Still no ink between Persib and Luciano Guaycochea

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Persib, another week without a signature from Luciano Guaycochea.
