TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Persib Bandung has brought 20 players ahead of Saturday’s Torabika Soccer Championship match against Pusamania Borneo FC at Segiri Stadium, Samarinda City, East Kalimantan.
Persib coach, Dejan Antonic, is aiming to win in the match. Three points is the motivation of Atep Rizal and Co. in the upcoming match. “Our target are to play well and take [three] points there,” Dejan told reporters Thursday noon at Husein Sastranegara Airport.
Dejan did not bring his youngster Febri Haryadi to Samarinda. Dejan admitted that he is not worried about Febri’s absence. “Febri did not come along, I was just told about it. He’ll be replaced by Zola,” he said.
Dejan has instructed his players to play patiently and not to get influenced by the Pesut Etam’s style of play. “They will want to play better than yesterday’s [match], moreover, they are playing at home. The match will be lively,” said the Serbian coach.
