The Persijap Gazette
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
A defender's goal wins it for Persijap — 7.59
1 for Aly Ndom, marked 7.59, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Tiri stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Tiri and Persijap agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words exchanged at Persijap
Tiri and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Iker Guarrotxena wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Persijap can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

A last season at home is what Iker Guarrotxena is after
It is sentimental, it is completely genuine, and it is the beginning of a departure nobody has announced. The club can be gracious about it or it can pretend not to have heard.

VVV-Venlo tell Persijap: Pepijn Vallen 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.

Lucas Morelatto wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

The manager makes an example of Sendri Johansyah
“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.

Late, late show earns Persijap a point
Minute 88, against Borneo, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.
