Squad

A fracture rules Dendy Sulistyawan out for 49 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bhayangkara Presisi will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

Bhayangkara Presisi go back to the board over Muhammad Natsir

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $5.7K — a club that wants Muhammad Natsir enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Allano 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 Bhayangkara Presisi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Mauricio Vera was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. 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.

Transfer targets

Bhayangkara Presisi bid $32.0K for Asyraq Gufron

The offer went to Semen Padang this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Bhayangkara Presisi make their move for Dony Tri Pamungkas

$22.0K on the table at Persija. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

No deal for Muhammad Natsir at that price

Bhayangkara Presisi offered $5.0K; Dewa United said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Words at Bhayangkara Presisi training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mauricio Vera 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

7 new faces, and Bhayangkara Presisi are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Jaime Giraldo damages knee ligaments — 109 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 109 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Persebaya come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Semen Padang did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Semen Padang

Ravy Tsouka 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.

Market

Bhayangkara Presisi join the queue for Asyraq Gufron

Add another name to the list: Bhayangkara Presisi have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Asyraq Gufron. The answer from Semen Padang has not changed — yet.

Transfer targets

Persik tell Semen Padang: Irkham Mila is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match

Diego Maurício’s goal not enough for Semen Padang

Diego Maurício scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Bali United, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

A row about effort at Semen Padang

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

Squad

7 new faces, and Semen Padang are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Agung Hidayat to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
