Persib Bandung will face an important match in the continuation of the AFC Champions League Two competition against Bangkok United.
This match presents an opportunity for the Persib Bandung squad to bounce back after disappointing results in domestic competition.
Persib Bandung defender Julio emphasized that the team has moved on from the defeat against Persita Tangerang and is now fully focused on the match against the Thai representative.
According to him, the players have prepared thoroughly to perform solidly on the Asian stage.
“We arrived yesterday and have rested to prepare ourselves. We need to improve in the ACL, and I think all players are ready for this match. Persib is a championship team, so I’m confident we can show our best to Bobotoh,” said Julio.
Furthermore, Julio stated that Bangkok United has quality players, including an experienced Brazilian defender.
“I know two of their defenders, Everton and Maia. They are a good team, but Persib also has a squad with comparable quality. I believe the match will be exciting,” he added.
Echoing Julio, another Persib defender, Putros, also shared his perspective about the upcoming opponent.
Putros, who previously played in Thailand, considers Bangkok United one of the strongest teams in the group.
“They have many good players, both local and foreign. In my opinion, Bangkok United might be the best team in the group. The match will certainly be difficult, but they also have weaknesses we can exploit. The coach must have prepared the best strategy to face them,” he stated.
Putros also mentioned several players who could trouble Persib’s defense.
“There’s a dominant winger, Richairo Zivkovic, then the Brazilian defender Everton, who is experienced and serves as team captain. But what’s most dangerous is their collective play. Bangkok United is a well-organized team that typically plays with ball possession. That’s what we need to watch out for,” he explained.
Bangkok United is not an easy opponent in the Asian arena.
The Thai club is known as one of the most consistent teams in both domestic and regional competitions.
With a combination of Thai national team players and experienced foreign legionnaires, they are considered strong candidates in the group that also includes Persib.
Bangkok United’s playing style, which emphasizes ball possession and quick transitions, often troubles opponents.
They have balanced quality across all lines, with Everton as the leader in defense and Zivkovic as the engine of attack.
For Persib Bandung, this match is an important moment to maintain their competitive chances in the AFC Champions League Two.
The defeat in domestic competition serves as serious evaluation for coach Bojan Hodak’s team, and the match against Bangkok United could be a turning point to restore player confidence.
With full support from Bobotoh, Persib is expected to display their best performance. Besides motivational factors, the coach’s strategy will also be key in facing Bangkok United’s structured playing style.
The Persib versus Bangkok United encounter is expected to be intense and decisive for the group stage competition.
A victory would provide a morale boost while increasing Maung Bandung’s chances of advancing further in the Asian arena.
“All teams in the ACL have high quality. Asian football continues to develop and the level is now very good. We respect Bangkok United, but we also have confidence as a big team. Our target is to perform optimally and achieve the best results,” emphasized the team.
