The coach emphasized that his team does not feel pressure even though top-table rivals like Borneo FC and Persija achieved victories in previous matches.
According to Bojan Hodak, Persib Bandung’s current position at the top of the standings actually places greater pressure on other teams to keep chasing.
“I think because we are in first place, they actually have more pressure each week to catch us than we have pressure on us,” said Bojan Hodak.
The Croatian coach assessed that this situation does not change Persib Bandung’s approach to matches. He ensured the team remains focused on performance on the field without being burdened by other teams’ results.
Bojan Hodak also emphasized that one match is not the deciding factor in this season’s title race. Therefore, he asked Persib Bandung players to stay calm and perform at their best.
“For us, this match will not decide everything, so I don’t feel we are really under pressure,” he said.
He added that the main key for Persib Bandung is to maintain consistency in performance in every match they play.
“We just need to go down to the field and try to give our best,” Bojan Hodak asserted.
With this attitude, Persib Bandung shows a strong mentality as a top team that is not easily influenced by standings or rival match results.
