The coach has confirmed that his team is ready to face Dewa United in the next match of the Super League competition.

Bojan Hodak stated that Persib Bandung had about a week of preparation time leading up to the match. He mentioned that the team’s condition is generally very good, although one player will be absent.

“We had a week for preparation. The good news is that all players are fit, except for Patricio Matricardi who received a red card,” said Bojan Hodak.

According to Bojan Hodak, all Persib Bandung players showed a positive training atmosphere. This is an important asset for the team in facing a match that is predicted to be difficult.

Bojan Hodak considers Dewa United not a team to be underestimated. Although their position in the standings is not very high, he noted that the quality of the opposing squad is very capable.

“Dewa is a good team and is in good form. They have many quality players. For me, they are one of the best teams in the league,” he said.

He emphasized that Persib Bandung cannot focus only on one key player of the opponent. Because Dewa United has many players who can make a difference in the match.

“We cannot pay attention to just one player. They have five or six good players who can decide the result at any time,” said Bojan Hodak.

Therefore, Bojan Hodak stressed the importance of unity and full concentration throughout the match for Persib Bandung.

Facing this match, Persib Bandung also has additional motivation to maintain their chances in the title race. However, Bojan Hodak reminded that the result of this match is not the final decider.

“Whatever the result, there are still six more matches. The competition is also very tight with other teams,” he explained.

He added that the championship chances will likely only be determined until the last match of the season.

“In the end, everything can be decided on the last day. So we just need to focus on taking the matches one by one,” said Bojan Hodak.
