Persib’s Malaise Is Bad News for Indonesia at Cup

2010-11-12T22:45:00.000-08:00

When it came to predicting which teams would have a significant impact on the 2010/11 Indonesian Super League season, many punters would have put forward Persib Bandung.

In many ways the Newcastle United of Indonesia, Persib has flattered to deceive for too many seasons. This year, surely, came the plaintive cry from the Sunda heartlands, has to be our year.

Not yet it’s not.

The season started ignominiously with new coach Darko Janackovic unceremoniously shown the door before a ball had been kicked in anger amid rumors of a players’ revolt.

His assistant, Jovo Cuckovic, was promoted to one of the hottest seats in Indonesian football and fans looked forward eagerly to a successful season on the field.

They had good reason to be confident. On paper they boast perhaps the strongest squad in the country. I

ndonesia’s push for glory at the Asean Football Federation Cup in December will rely heavily on players from Persib. And they boast some of the highest-profile foreigners in the ISL.

So where is it going wrong? Why has this expensively assembled team managed a meager one win from its opening six games? Why is Persib leaking goals alarmingly? Why is it struggling to create scoring opportunities?

Important questions that Cuckovic needs to answer as soon as possible. And national team coach Alfred Riedl will be asking the same questions before Indonesia plays Malaysia in its opening game at the AFF Cup in December.

Let’s start with the back line. Markus Haris Maulana has been Indonesia’s first-choice keeper for a couple of years now and has had central defenders Maman Abdurahman and Nova Arianto in front of him for club and country for a similar period of time.

Yet there are times when the trio play like strangers. Witness the goal Persiba Balikpapan scored at Siliwangi Stadium earlier in the season.

With Markus and Nova rooted to the spot, neither knowing what the other was doing, Aldo Baretto had a free header to claw back a goal for his team. It was an error that marred a rare good performance.

Eka Ramdani has been a big miss for Persib over the last couple of games and Riedl will be hoping the iconic midfielder will be fit in time for the AFF Cup.

Eka has a status similar to that of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool. When things aren’t going well you can always rely on Eka to help the team out.

Without Eka in the middle there is little creativity. Hariono is an excellent destroyer and has a vicious shot on him, but doesn’t get forward as much as Eka.

Much of Persib’s attacking threat in recent games has come down the flanks with Atep and Siswanto.

The league’s all-time leading scorer, Christian Gonzales, has only recently taken out Indonesian citizenship, but during Persib’s torrid start to the season he has managed just one goal.

Riedl had been hoping to build his team around Maman, Nova, Eka, Atep, Hariono and Gonzales, so their struggles will certainly be causing him sleepless nights.

He has less than a month to turn things around as Indonesia goes into the biennial tournament with expectations high.

Maman Not Affected Issues New Coach

2010-06-21T18:00:00.000-07:00

Indonesian Football (must be) Independent

2010-06-19T20:30:00.000-07:00

Football is the most interesting game in the world to watch. In Indonesia it is quite difficult to control this one sport because for the Indonesian people, football is the most fascinating sports game to watch. Missing the game would be a great pity. Football, besides a collective game that involve many people (11 people is also an organization) is also part of a system. Beside the players, there is also an organization that manages it.

Indonesian football is under an organization called PSSI. As the highest football organization, PSSI issues a law that regulates Indonesian football matters. As an organization, PSSI also is part of the Asia Football Confederation (AFC) in Asia and FIFA (Federation International de Football Association) as the world football organization. One of the rules implemented by PSSI is the Super League that differ from the previous leagues. Super League is carried out only with one region, unlike other leagues that involved two regions which was west and east regions. In addition it once involved three regions including the central region.

This was where a problem occurred for many clubs in the Super League. The classical problem is about funding, indeed very rational if many clubs are shouting with the policy. The high budget is usually used for accommodation during matching games. Imagine if for a game outside the island, they use air transportation, except if the game is held on the same island, they can use land transportation.

Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in Asia, with an area of approximately 1,919,440 Km2, compared to other countries that do not have as large area as Indonesia. Japan (377.835 Km2), Korea (98.480 Km2) and Thailand (514.000 Km2) cannot be compared with Indonesia. By infrastructure, the three other nations are more modern. To go from one city to another you can use land transportation like train or bus. While in Indonesia, with the largest area in Southeast Asia, you have to cross the sea to get to another island.

Looking at the geographical condition, ideally Indonesian league should use the old format that has been previously implemented, two or three regions. It is not necessary to force to implement a one region format if at the end it would burden the clubs to pay for accommodation and infrastructure. This is because Indonesia’s positition at the AFC is not strong enough so that Indonesia decided to implement the one region league format. If we do not implement this format, clubs under the Indonesian League cannot compete at the Asian Champion’s League. If not compete at the Asian’s Champion’s League, we cannot measure our success at a more higher level.

Furthermore, businesses in Indonesia have not lay a hand on football. Football has not been considered as a profit maker. Compared to English Premier League or Calcio Italia League where football has become a profitable industry, the club’s policy means profit and achievement. Meaning, there is a relationship between achievement and profit. The more achievement a club made, the more profit the management is making.

I think that however it is, football inIndonesia is part of the nation’s asset. Indonesia’s football can help increase Indonesia’s position in the world’s football. This can only happen if we manage to create a significant triumph in a higher event. It all started from the Indonesian League. The policy that should be undertaken is to make clubs under the league more independent and reconsidering the format that is more appropriate the the nation's geographical condition so that clubs would have no fund difficulties due to accommodation expenses.

Why Does Persib Have Many Sponsors?

2010-06-19T02:53:00.000-07:00

Persib is one of Indonesia’s football team from Bandung that has done quite a performance and stable in the Indonesian football industry, since long time ago until the current Indonesian League.

One unique note from this team is when the team won the United football competition for the very last time in 1993/1994. At the final game, Persib which was defended by Sutiono Lamso and Robby Darwis beated PSM Makassar. The Galatama football game and united teams in Indonesia then was united into Indonesian League (LI). At the first LI held in 1994/1995, Persib won for the first time after defeating Petrokimia Putra Gresik. Persib also was one of the only clubs in Indonesia that managed to play at the semi finals at Asia Champions League.

The Indonesian Super League now uses a dependent system, which is participants are not alowed to use its budget so that some clubs have difficulties in finding a fund. Unlike Persib which is funded by several sponsors for its game matches.

Why does Persib has many sponsors? The team from Bandung is a team who is faithful to its supporters and spectators in its every games thus resulting an overflow of spectators. This canbe seen from last night’s game between Persib and Arema. So it is true that many people watch Persib on television, which is then used by sponsors to introduce their products.

Persib’s clothes and merchandise are hunted by its supporters, in every shirts you can find the sponsors’ brand, as well as on the merchandises.

Persib is a future professional team that can compete in domestic games thus sponsors are eyeing on them hoping to bring Indonesian football to the outside world.

Behavior of Fanatical Football Supporters

2010-06-18T01:40:00.000-07:00

Fanatical supporters in soccer are no longer a new phenomenon and it is common in almost every country whose nation deems soccer/soccer match as a religion (not literally, in a different meaning-ed).

British people are notorious for the hooligans who are very disturbing and makes people restless enough in every match between world-class countries, or even European countries. Similarly, the World Cup or European Championship. Concerns arising from the match organizers is that if the British team’s performance is disappointing or far lower than expectations of these hooligans,there will be unrest which results in quite a lot of material loss.

Although many may have not reported (probably because I am in Indonesia and the news about it has been more selected for inclusion into the virtual world. Well, I'm not sure,-ed). But the highest institution of British football is the FA that will impose strong sanctions against the club, or FIFA will impose sanctions to the country's national team whose supporters make restless situation.

But of course in every match, for the European League, the European Championship and World Championship, the match organizing committee always sets up a better and better security. This is done by the committees to prevent undesirable things from happening.

And abroad, if there is a special event such as football club’s anniversary parties for example, there will no chaos by the supporters by breaking into the stadium just to watch the match and support their favorite teams. And according to information from one of my friends who live in England, that the British security forces always applies super strict security measures at soccer games, especially the soccer games where there is a teams playing against its biggest enemy such as MU vs Liverpool whether the game is in Liverpool or in Manchester . In fact, the security forces and police will take very firm actions toward the supporters who act improperly.

And this is exemplary by the soccer games organizers in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, in Indonesia (not mocking, but this is a reality and it happened -ed) a lot of ways done to support people’s favorite soccer teams. I really admire Persib Bandung. Not because I live in Bandung, but because I am very pleased with Persib Bandung team, I even was one witness who saw Persib Bandung won the Indonesian League Championship for the first time in 1995 that was the first Indonesian League, it used to be named the United League. And that was the first time I loved Persib whose players were really cool by relying only on all local players alias native Indonesians. Although there are now foreign players, I still love only Persib and it is not replacable.

Back to the topic. Sometimes this behavior is supported by the organizing committee and sometimes by the team official. Although there is no real proof this, sometimes I do an analysis and find out that supporters do not do these things without the intimidation or provocation from others. And usually, I think, provocation must be done by people that supporters have known and he was in a group of supporters who can be ordered by the official club or anything like that but I can not judge directly who it is. That's only an analysis and estimate.

Some time ago at the second leg of Indonesian Super League 2009/2010 between Persib and one of the clubs in East Java (of course I forgot the name of the team-ed). Persib in the first leg tourned out to slaughter that club in Bandung. And in order to provide a great spirit to supporters’ favorite team and provide mental pressure because that stadium was overcrowded with home team supporters in those games, the organizers offer a discount on admission to the prospective spectators. And in a business context, giving discounts to customers is common and it is a normal thing done by the organizing committee in order to attract buyers/customers in this case is a large number of soccer spectators. But surely, it was something really horrible to see when there was too little borderline separating fanatical supporters of Persib Bandung and the opposing team’s supporters.

Many promises are made by the soccer fans club saying that spectators/supporters will be disciplined but that's no guarantee. Lots of events happened unexpectedly and it was beyond the power of the organizers like throwing a bottle of mineral water to the opposing team or a more severe one, even throwing stones. In fact, Persib team was a little intimidated by the spectators who watched the game right outside the pitch line and maybe if the spectators were carried away, they could have just entered the pitch. (this is of course the worst scenario-ed)

And on Sunday last week, on March 14, 2010 Persib team that was celebrating its 77th anniversary invited Arema Indonesia at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Soreang, Bandung Regency.

This anniversary occassion caused the spectators of the game burst into the stadium and caused over-capacity. Finally, it made the supporters that should have been in a special tribune forced into the stadium area that should be sterile from the spectators. As a result, the news I read in the newspapers yesterday morning reported that the overcrowding spectators had made so many people fainted and some spectators even fell because of pushing each other like crazy.

The stadium was overcrowded because at that match the spectators broke in the entrance and finally a lot of spectators entered Si Jalak Harupat Stadium without buying tickets merely to support their favorite team Persib play in its 77th anniversary occassion. That incident was not the first time, several years ago at Persib’s anniversary celebration as well, Siliwangi Stadium could not accommodate a large number of spectators, and finally they burst into the pitch and eventually many spectators watching the game at the pitch lane, a few centimeters from the to be exact rather than just a few centimeters from the soccer pitch’s sideline. And it looked like watcing a soccer match in the neighborhood at the annual event of commemorating Indonesia's Independence in August.

Even though there were not many undesirable incidents, this is a bad precedent for Indonesian soccer and of course a bad precedent for organizing committees. Surely, the above incidents are bad marks in Indonesian soccer games’ report.

And my questions are; At the soccer games, do the organizing committees cooperate with the police and security force to prevent bad incidents from happening? What if the security forces take rather repressive measures toward supporters breaking in the enterence of the stadium because they want to watch the game but they do not have the tickets for fear that they will hurt the spectators?

And by allowing illegal spectators to enter/breaking in the entrance without buying tickets, we can see the security forces and the organizing committees are not rigorous enough, that is absolutely bad incident and sometimes I am ashamed of it.>>>

There are still many other incidents which occurred due to the lack of rigorous control of the organizing committees and the security forces. These may be some of bad incidents occur in Indonesian soccer matches. And there should also be a consideration whether Indonesia is prepared for holding an international soccer tournament in very grand in style such as World Cup as highly endorsed by the PSSI [translator’s note: Indonesian Football Federation] few dozen years later? Given the Asian level football tournament only, there were still spectators who successfully went through fence between spectators and the pitch and went into the soccer pitch at the Asian Cup some time ago.

Maybe if we plan to hold an international tournament, one of the most important thing must be changed is the way of thinking and behavior of spectators of the soccer tournament, in Indonesia of course.

Persib in their fans eyes

2010-06-18T01:26:00.000-07:00

Football is a popular sporting event that is loved by many.

My profession as a radio announcer for the 15 to 35 year-old segment prompted me to be knowledgeable of sports news including football. I don't like to play football but I enjoy watching the games, especially the BIG MATCH.

In Bandung, the pride of the city is Persib Bandung. The team has fanatical and loyal supporters that are called Bobotoh Persib. The members consist of people from various backgrounds, from babies to old people.

Bobotoh Persib worship the team, even when losing but even more so when winning. The actions of the Bobotoh often worry Bandung citizens who would go home early when a match is being played there and when Persib loses. This is done to avoid the convoys of Bobotoh who sometimes are rather wild although nowadays these Persib fans are more mature. However, there are still some who act as bullies and cause damage when Persib loses.

With regards to the bobotoh and persib, as radio announcer wherein my radio station always covers live all Persib matches in the Indonesian League, I am often in awe of the enthusiasm and fanaticism of the Persib bobotoh, sometimes even shocked.

What really shocked me was (as I read in one of Bandung's newspapers), one of Persib bobotoh supporters named his son Persib. It's kinda weird to me, but that is what is called fanaticism. At least this type of fanaticism is not out of place nor destructive.

There was another incident which I consider funny. One day, when I wasn't on duty, I went to an area in Kosambi, a quite popular market in Bandung aside from Pasar Baru. It was so happened that that day Persib Bandung was playing but it was not shown on the official television. Automatically, Bobotoh Persib immediately would listen to the radio station where I work. And you know what, when I was about to park my car, all parking attendants and security guards suddenly disappeared. As I stepped out of my car, I discovered that there was a big group of people that gathered, from street-side drink vendors, parking attendants, passers-by, security guards and many more were listening attentively to the live coverage of the Persib match on radio. It seemed that no one paid attention to the cars that came to park or to leave. I thought, they were thinking that they'd get the parking fees later while they watched Persib play.

Not only that, I also witnessed bobotoh fanaticism elsewhere as in restaurants, salons, clothing stores, etc. This was evident when they stopped their activities for a while to watch a Persib player enter the opponent's area or breach the defensive line, to find out if the player would be successful in his execution.

Another time, I was enjoying my "me time" in the salon with some friends. One of the capsters, whom I knew was a big fan of Persib, was blowing a customer's hair, when she suddenly stopped working to listen to the radio. A live broadcast was on and she remained silent as the radio reporter was enthusiastically describing a penalty kick. She had put her customer on hold.

One of the most fanatical Persib bobotoh is H. Umuh Muchtar (sorry if it is misspelled), the current Manager of Persib Bandung. Before he became the manager, it can be said that H. Umuh was the most generous bobotoh. He was the bobotoh who most often distributed bonuses from his own pocket to Persib players when they won a competition. If it were to be put into numbers, the amount would be in the hundreds of millions of Rupiah (for players, officials, crew, etc).

This is my observations of Persib from its fans' point of view regarding their beloved. Although Persib has yet to win the Indonesian League once more after the First Indonesian League. Although often defeated, Persib will always be loved by its Bobotoh.

Persija v Persib

2010-03-24T22:50:00.000-07:00

Well it looks like it's still on and it looks like fans will be able to watch the game. Persija fans at least. Persib fans have been told to stay home or, if they do go to the game, not to wear anything that identifies them.

The police apparently offered the Persib team the use of a tank, well armoured personnel carrier, to go to and from the stadium but that has been rejected with the club saying they would rather travel by bus.

It's one of Indonesia's 'classic' games along the lines of Liverpool v Manchester United. It's a rivalry built not on geography but perhaps perceptions. Bandung, West Java, the centre of a Sunda kingdom, full of pride and togetherness. Resentful of the middle class Jakartans who flock to their city every weekend and holiday with their prejudices and assumptions.

Jakarta is the big, brash capital city. It's outward looking, proud of it's cosmopolitan make up. It's Gordon Gecko in a bajaj smoking kretek

I guess the nearest parallel in England would be Persija as Chelsea and Persib as Newcastle United.

UPDATE - The Jakarta Post is reporting that 2,000 police will be on duty at this game. I would link to the story on line but they haven't updated their website yet. They also say that 'most Persija games in the past have ended in brawling' which is a shocking and untrue statement to make. First define most. Second define brawl. I probably get to more Persija games than the Jakarta Post writer and I rarely even see any away fans let alone fighting.

Potential for Fan Violence Sees Supporters Locked Out

2010-01-03T14:26:00.000-08:00

Matches between Persib Bandung and Persija Jakarta are always tense, both on and off the field.

The two supporters’ clubs, Persija’s Jakmania and Persib’s Vikings, consider the other a bitter rival, and few matches go by without off-field incidents between them.

With that in mind, the Bandung district government and police expressed wariness over what would happen when the teams and fans meet at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium on Jan. 9. Officials declared on Friday that the match must take place with empty stands.

“After a discussion with the Bandung district government, we decided not to issue a match permit for Persib versus Persija unless it’s played behind closed doors,” Bandung district police chief AKBP Imran Yunus said.

“Experiences show that clashes between the two teams, whether it’s in Bandung or Jakarta, have a huge potential for mass brawls before, during or after the match. We don’t want to take that risk.”

Another concern, Imran said, was avoiding damage to the stadium. Si Jalak Harupat underwent repairs after suffering damage during the West Java earthquake on Sept. 2. The stadium will be the main venue for the 2010 West Java Provincial Games in July, adding to the government’s concerns.

Persib officials said a decision on playing without fans or moving the match elsewhere had yet to be made. Relocating is unlikely, though, as Indonesian Super League rules dictate clubs must make an official request for a postponement 14 days prior to the match.

“We just received the Bandung district government and police’s official notification, so we can’t say much at this moment,” Persib manager Umuh Mohtar said. “Of course we want to play in front of our supporters, but let’s just see. We’ll make the decision early next week.”

Persib supporters lambasted the decision.

“We just want to support our team and watch the game,” said Deny Ahmad, a Persib fan. “It’s the police’s duty to secure the match, and I believe they could prevent violence inside and outside the stadium if they worked harder.”

The last violence between the clubs occurred in July 2008, when Persib hosted Persija at Siliwangi Stadium in Bandung. Away fans were barred from matches between the clubs after that.

Players traveling to stadiums in police tanks is not uncommon in the rivalry. Persib last traveled by bus to Persija in 2006, only for its vehicles to be severely damaged. Players left Lebak Bulus Stadium in police tanks.

Elsewhere today, last-place Pelita Jaya visits PSPS Pekanbaru while Persijap Jepara hosts Persik Kediri. Persela Lamongan hosts Persebaya Surabaya on Sunday.

Jaya's tryst with destiny

Persema could well have been the final straw. Word in Bandung is that the coach has until their next game to effect an improvement or he could be gone. Their next game is against Persija on 9 January!

The goals have dried up for a side that boast attacking options like Christian Gonzales, Hilton Moreira and Budi Sudarsono.

Gonzales, leading scorer for the last four years in Indonesia, has netted just once all season while their leading scorer, Brazilian striker Hilton has just two.

Persib v Persija

2009-12-29T01:48:00.000-08:00

It's one of the hottest atmosphere's in Indonesian football with a hatred that rivals anything that Europe can throw up. Away fans don't travel, if they do they keep quiet, while the visiting team often departs in an armoured personnel carrier.

This season's first meeting between these two rivals takes place on 9 January and already officials have said the Jalak Harupat Stadium, Persib's home stadium, cannot be used.

Persib have drawn up three alternatives. Manahan Stadium in Solo, Jatidiri Stadium in Semarang or the Gajayana Stadium in Malang.

No decision has yet been made though one hopes they make one pretty bloody quickly. On the 6th players from both teams will be representing Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand in Asian Cup qualifiers. It would be nice if they could fly straight to the selected city on the Thursday, two days before the game.

2009-11-24T11:58:00.000-08:00

Missed the first 20 minutes or so, and with that Cucu Hidayat's scrappy opener, but couldn't believe how unadventurous Persib Bandung were against a side that precisely nul points from their opening games.

Shorn of Christian Gonzales, Hilton Moreira and Eka Ramdani, coach Jaya Hartono went with Atep joining Budi Sudarsono up front and will be probably feel vindicated when the little winger swept home Budi's cross on 52' to put the game to bed.

Persib controlled the middle of the park and in Suchao Nuchnam, their Thai import, they had the best player on the field.

It is difficult to look elegant in the hurly burly world of Indonesian football but Suchao managed that amid the flying studs and elbows. Suchao's slide rule pass sent Budi wide left and the Indonesian international scampered to the byline before pulling the ball back for a grateful Atep.

Personally I'm looking for big things from Persib this season but the way they laboured at times against Persitara would have been disappointing perhaps for Hartono but then again they got the three points. And next up is a trip to Papua to take on Persipura and Persiwa!

Again little positive from Persitara. Another early goal conceded, Prince Kabir Bello didn't have much impact until the last 10 minutes. They won't enjoy facing Arema on Saturday and given the way they allowed Persib defender Nova Arianto to get them riled you can see Noh Alam Shah looking forward to a physical encounter!

2009-11-15T09:23:00.001-08:00

Indonesian National Football Squad Loses 2-1 to Kuwait

2009-11-15T09:17:00.000-08:00

The door isn’t closed yet, but Indonesia needs a huge effort to pry it open and reach the 2011 Asian Cup.

A 2-1 loss at Kuwait on Saturday left Indonesia at the foot of Group B with two points from three games, five behind leader Australia and four behind Kuwait. Australia won 2-1 in Oman to stay top of the group.

The Merah Putih must win their remaining three matches, beginning on Wednesday against Kuwait at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, to stand a chance of qualifying.

“Despite the loss, we had a great game in Kuwait, so I still have optimism for the squad to get better results in our next games,” Indonesia coach Benny Dollo said on Sunday.

“Our problem was the players’ fitness. I hope we can overcome the problem before hosting Kuwait on Wednesday,” Benny added, saying jet lag caused his team’s lackluster second half, even though Indonesia had been based in Kuwait since Nov. 7.

“Our chances are still on, but if we want to qualify for the Asian Cup, we must not drop any points in our remaining matches.”

Kuwait applied pressure from the start at Kuwait SC Stadium, forcing 11 corner kicks in the first 11 minutes of the match. Abdulla al-Bura iki nearly scored the opener when his powerful shot from inside the area beat goalkeeper Markus Harris Maulana but smashed against the woodwork.

Indonesia weathered the storm and silenced the home fans in the 33rd minute, when striker Bambang Pamunkas headed in Ismed Sofyan’s corner kick. Ismed nearly doubled his team’s lead five minutes after halftime, but Nawaf Al Khaldi managed to save his free kick.

As the match wore on, Indonesia’s fitness waned and players lost their concentration. Kuwait pulled level at the hour mark when midfielder Muhammad Ilham brought down Walied Ali Jumah inside the penalty area and Bader Al Motawaa converted the spot kick.

Kuwait stepped up the pressure, and its search for a winner was rewarded two minutes before full time. Walied Ali’s neat pass found Al Motawaa, who curled an effort into the net from just inside the area.

Kuwait coach Goran Tufegdzic called on his players to repeat the display that saw them win 1-0 in Canberra on March 5.

“I hope that we can carry on with our good performance, and I’m confident we can get a good result in Jakarta next Wednesday just like we did against Australia,” he said.

U-19 Indonesian Football Squad Draws With Australia 0-0

2009-11-15T09:15:00.000-08:00

Bandung. Indonesia’s youngsters fought their way to a 0-0 draw with Australia at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium in Bandung on Saturday.

The result did not affect Australia’s chances of advancing to the AFC Under-19 Championship as it had already qualified, but it did leave the host nation with a chance to end qualifying in third place.

“Both teams really wanted to win, and the boys showed a good performance,” Indonesia coach Cesar Payovich said. “It’s the best result we could get. We studied Australia’s style a lot as we considered them a tough opponent.”

Australian coach Johannes Versleijen also praised the Indonesian team.

“I want to congratulate Indonesia. They’re a well-organized and good team,” he said. “I used the match to give my players chances to play, but we still had to give 100 percent to play Indonesia.”

Australia nearly took an accidental lead in the early going when Joshua McVey’s cross forced goalkeeper Tri Windu Anggono into a save, and McVey forced Windu into action again in the 11th minute with a hard shot.

Windu’s Australian counterpart, Mark Birighitti, scrambled to make a save two minutes later after Abdul Rahman Lestaluhu met Syamsir Alam’s cross.

James Virgili was another threat for Australia, and he gave the home fans a scare when he hit the crossbar in the 17th minute.

Indonesia came close to breaking the deadlock twice in the final 10 minutes. Rizky Pellu released Alan Martha behind the Australian defense, but Birighitti managed to push the midfielder’s shot wide. Alan had another chance on a counterattack, but his effort hit a defender and rolled behind.

Indonesia wraps up qualifying when it hosts Hong Kong on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

“Playing against Hong Kong is different. They showed good fight when playing Japan and Australia,” Payovich said. “They’re strong, but I’m confident we can end the tournament in third place.”

Thai Flavor Added to Indonesian Football League

2009-11-12T11:13:00.000-08:00

It’s not just Singapore which must worry about top talent fleeing to play elsewhere in Southeast Asia.

Three Thai players joined the growing ranks of Asian talent plying its trade in the Indonesian Super League. Thailand international goalkeeper Sinthaveechai “Kosin” Hathairattanakool and midfielder Suchao Nutnum signed with Persib Bandung, and Persisam Samarinda added Pipat Thonkanya.

“We have agreed to a one-year deal with both players and they will come to Bandung on Nov. 5,” Persib manager Umuh Muhtar said.

“But they will go back to Thailand on Nov. 10 to join their national team training camp before the 2011 Asian Cup qualifiers.”

In another deal before the Friday night transfer deadline, Persebaya Surabaya signed Takatoshi Uchida from Albirex Niigata Singapore.

Sinthaveechai and Suchao had just helped new Thailand coach Bryan Robson win his first trophy. The Thais defeated Vietnamese club Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the Kata Cup final in Phuket on Thursday, winning 7-6 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 draw.

Thailand visits Singapore on Nov. 14 in qualifying for the 2011 Asian Cup before hosting Singapore in Bangkok on Nov. 18.

Umuh said Sinthaveechai and Suchao would be back at Persib on Nov. 19 and would likely make their debut against Pelita Jaya two days later.

“I can relax a bit now because we have a complete squad and I’ve managed to find players who suit the coach’s needs,” he said.

Persib, which lost its first two league matches, was in dire need of a goalkeeper after Tema Mursadat suffered a right knee injury in September and was sidelined until late December. Coach Jaya Hartono also asked for a midfielder as the team lacked a playmaker after Lorenzo Cabanas left the club to return to Paraguay.

Persisam, struggling in the top flight with one win in four matches after winning the Premier Division last season, pinned its hopes of survival on Rp 1.2 billion ($125,852) striker Pipat. He trained with his new club for the first time on Wednesday after helping Thai Port win the Thai FA Cup, converting the winning spot kick to beat BEC Tero Sasana 5-4 in a shootout.

“We badly need a good striker and I believe Pipat is a great addition to the club,” Persisam coach Aji Santoso told state-run news agency Antara. “He will need time to adapt with the team, but I think it won’t be long.”

Aji said Pipat, who scored 10 goals in the Thai Premier League last season, would likely make his debut at Persela Lamongan on Wednesday.

The Thai trio joins countryman Phaitoon Thiabma, a midfielder with Persijap Jepara, in swelling the ranks of Asean players in Indonesia.

Persebaya signed Uchida after the Albirex Niigata Singapore captain trained with the club for four days and played two practice matches.

Coach Danurwindo said he was not sure of the Japanese defender’s skill, “But I think he will bolster our defense. He has leadership qualities and can communicate well with other players.”

Terms of the deal were undisclosed, and assistant manager Cholid Goromah would only say the amount “is not that expensive.”

Momen "The Viking"

2009-08-12T19:10:00.000-07:00

Oleh : Anton Sanjoyo

Dua malam lalu, sebuah berita pendek di televisi membuat saya terkesima. Berita olahraga berdurasi sekitar dua menit itu mengabarkan tekad ”The Viking”—kelompok pendukung kesebelasan Persib Bandung—untuk membantu kondisi keuangan tim kesayangannya. Tekad itu menyusul situasi di mana Persib tidak akan menerima lagi duit rakyat dalam bentuk APBD untuk musim kompetisi 2009-2010.

Saat dikonfirmasi, Heru Joko, Ketua The Viking, membenarkan tekad kelompok bobotoh-nya untuk menyelamatkan Persib dari kemungkinan tidak ikut kompetisi karena tak punya duit. ”Sebenarnya itu tekad yang emosional karena rasa cinta kami kepada Persib. Yang pasti, wacana itu ditanggapi positif oleh manajemen Persib, dalam hal ini PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat,” kata Heru dengan logat Sunda-nya yang kental.

Saya harus menelepon Heru dengan dua alasan. Pertama konfirmasi, dan kedua, saya tidak menemukan berita yang lebih rinci di media cetak selain berita pendek di televisi tersebut. Padahal, barangkali—meski baru dalam bentuk wacana—inilah momen bersejarah dalam persepakbolaan nasional. Momen itu adalah bangkitnya kesadaran klub dan kelompok pendukungnya bahwa tim sepak bola profesional memang bukan ”pengemis” yang menghabiskan uang rakyat untuk berkompetisi. Apa pun dalihnya, pemakaian uang rakyat untuk membiayai klub sepak bola profesional adalah tindakan melawan hukum karena melanggar undang-undang dan mencederai rasa keadilan.

Tim ”Maung Bandung” Persib yang telah membentuk PT Persib Bandung Bermartabat (PBB) punya pendukung fanatik yang diklaim The Viking sebanyak 60.000 orang. Dalam wacananya, kelompok bobotoh ini akan mengumpulkan uang sumbangan Rp 15.000 per orang. Dari uang yang terkumpul, sebagian akan disumbangkan ke Persib dan sebagian lagi sebagai modal untuk mengelola cendera mata Persib. Penyumbang juga akan mendapat ”sertifikat” tanda kesetiaan dan mereka diwajibkan membeli suvenir resmi yang dikelola The Viking dan Persib.

”Namun, ini sekali lagi baru wacana. Kalaupun nanti berjalan, harus sesuai tata cara perusahaan karena Persib sudah berbentuk PT,” kata Heru.

Meski baru wacana, ini tetap momen bersejarah. Sebab, dalam empat tahun terakhir, persoalan pembiayaan klub lewat APBD yang melanggar hukum tak pernah menemukan solusi, bahkan dalam bentuk sekadar pembicaraan warung kopi sekalipun. PSSI sebagai penanggung jawab tertinggi pembangunan sepak bola pun seperti mendua sikap. Mereka ”memaksa” tim sepak bola untuk profesional, membentuk PT, membangun stadion, dan membina pemain muda. Namun, di sisi lain, tetap memberi peluang-peluang bagi klub-klub liga profesional untuk meminta APBD dengan mengatasnamakan sepak bola sebagai alat pembangunan dan pemersatu bangsa.

Beberapa tahun lalu, harian ini menggelar sebuah seminar untuk mencari jalan agar klub-klub peserta Liga Indonesia mampu mandiri, bisa ”menjual diri” ke sponsor, dan membentuk industri sepak bola yang sehat tanpa menggantungkan diri pada uang rakyat, pada APBD yang seharusnya mengalir untuk kemaslahatan orang banyak. Sayangnya, seminar ini praktis tak diminati PSSI. Yang justru bersemangat hadir pakar manajemen, dunia usaha, sesepuh pemerhati, dan praktisi sepak bola.

Namun, waktu terus bergulir. Sepak bola nasional, dalam hal ini PSSI, tak mampu menahan arus reformasi dan gerakan antikorupsi yang terus didengungkan. Para kepala daerah sekarang harus berhati-hati mengucurkan APBD-nya ke klub sepak bola karena bisa dituduh korupsi. Sementara itu, FIFA, sebagai badan tertinggi sepak bola dunia, juga terus mendorong semua anggotanya untuk menggelar kompetisi profesional dengan syarat-syarat ketat bagi pesertanya.

Walhasil, banyak klub peserta Liga Super Indonesia, yang sudah terbiasa menengadahkan tangan meminta APBD, kini kehilangan sumber utama keuangannya. Mereka kini, suka tidak suka, mau tidak mau, harus keluar dari zona nyaman (comfort zone) yang sejak 1994 mereka nikmati sebagai ”anak emas” pemerintah daerah. Mereka sekarang harus memeras otak mendanai dirinya sendiri.

The Viking dan Persib pasti sadar, sepak bola nasional punya potensi luar biasa untuk menjadi industri yang besar sekaligus sehat. Basis pendukung yang besar, ditambah fanatisme yang sangat kuat, menjadi modal awal untuk membentuk ”pasar” bagi produk permainan sepak bola di lapangan hijau. PT PBB tinggal merespons wacana yang dilontarkan The Viking dengan menyewa ahli bisnis dan pemasaran, bukan saja untuk menjual cendera mata, tetapi menjual Persib dan sepak bola secara utuh, mulai dari ticketing, negosiasi dengan sponsor, kontrak dengan televisi, dan segala hal rinci tentang membisniskan sepak bola.

Barcelona adalah contoh ideal bagaimana penggemar membiayai klub sepak bola pujaannya. Dengan basis fanatisme bangsa Catalan, mereka sukarela membiayai klubnya lewat donasi yang tak pernah putus, pembelian tiket terusan dan suvenir resmi. Pendukung Barcelona percaya, setiap sen yang mereka keluarkan untuk klub adalah tetesan darah segar bagi kelangsungan hidup klub.

The Viking dan Persib bisa memulai revolusi besar pengelolaan sepak bola nasional. Jalan mereka masih panjang, terjal, dan berbatu. Namun, jika punya tekad bulat, impian mereka pasti terwujud.

Saat menulis ini, saya membaca berita lain: pendukung Persebaya berdemo meminta pemerintah daerah tetap mengucurkan APBD untuk tim pujaannya itu. Sebuah kontradiksi sekaligus ironi.

Tetap Tampil Kekuatan Maksimal

2008-11-13T13:48:00.000-08:00

BANDUNG, TRIBUN - Pelatih Persib Jaya Hartono menandaskan, Persib tetap akan tampil dengan kekuatan maksimal saat dijamu PSM Makassar di Stadion Matoangin, Sabtu (15/11). Penegasan Jaya tersebut dilontarkan dengan absennya beberapa pemain Persib termasuk Tema Mursadat dan Hilton Moreira.

"Selain mereka yang cedera dan sakit, semua pemain dibawa semua ke Makassar. Makanya kita tetap akan menghadapi PSM dengan kekuatan maksimal," kata Jaya kepada Tribun, Rabu (12/11).

Jaya menerangkan Tema ditinggal karena sedang menjalani hukuman akumulasi kartu kuning. Hilton tepaksa tidak dibawa ke Makassar karena pemain asal Brasil ini kesehatannya terganggu. Selain Tema dan Hilton, Persib juga akan meninggalkan Atep dan Waluyo di Bandung. Dua nama terakhir masih dibelit cedera.

"Hilton sebenarnya masih menjalani latihan, tadi (Rabu) pagi. Tapi setelah berlatih, suhunya tiba-tiba naik. Hilton mengalami gejala typus sehingga terpaksa ditinggal," tutur Jaya.

Jadi secara keseluruhan Persib berkekuatan 21 pemain untuk menghadapi PSM. "Saya kira semua pemain punya kualitas yang pantas diandalkan. Jadi tanpa empat pemain yang ditinggal, Persib tetap akan menghadapi PSM dengan kekuatan penuh," tandas Jaya memberi garansi.

Jaya menyebutkan, menghadapi PSM apalagi dengan tekad merebut kemenangan, Persib tidak pantas untuk menganggap enteng PSM. Dengan catatan seperti itu, seperti ditegaskan Jaya, Persib akan tetap tampil dengan menurunkan tim terbaik sekaligus ngotot untuk menumbangkan PSM di kandangnya.

"PSM tetap tim kuat walaupun misalnya mereka tampil tanpa Syamsul Chaerudin atau tim ini tampil tanpa disaksikan pendukungnya. Kita juga tidak boleh memandang enteng PSM karena tim ini sedang dilanda masalah intern karena kalau soal masalah, semua tim punya masalah," tutur Jaya sambil kembali memberi garansi Persib datang ke Makassar untuk merebut kemenangan.

Pemain yang ditinggal di Bandung:
-Hilton Moreira (sakit)
-Atep (sakit)
-Waluyo (sakit)
-Tema Mursadat (akumulasi kartu)

Jaya Tak Anggap Enteng Deltras

2008-10-19T23:36:00.000-07:00

KONDISI Deltras Sidoarjo saat ini tidak semengilap tahun lalu. Jika melihat klasemen sementara Liga Super Indonesia (LSI) 2008/2009, posisi Deltras berada di papan bawah. Sementara Persib bertengger di papan tengah.

Meski demikian, Pelatih Persib Jaya Hartono tidak mau memandang sebelah mata mantan klub yang pernah ditukanginya dua musim lalu ini.

"Saya tidak mau melihat kondisi yang dialami Deltras Sidoarjo sekarang sebagai patokan untuk bisa memenangkan pertandingan. Peluang Persib dan Deltras Sidoarjo yang berada di papan bawah sama saja," ujarnya kepada wartawan, Minggu (19/10).

Jika melihat kondisi yang dialami Deltras Sidorajo di awal musin ini, memang terjadi penurunan cukup drastis. Hal itu bisa dilihat dari hasil kurang maksimal yang diraih Firmasyah ddk. sejak LSI 2008/2009 bergulir.

"Memang hasil yang mereka raih di awal musim ini kurang bagus, setelah meraih hasil kurang maksimal di beberapa pertandingan," ungkapnya.

Sebagai bukti tidak menganggap enteng mantan klubnya, Jaya sengaja mengutus asistennya, Yusuf Bahtiar untuk mengintip pertandingan Deltras saat dijamu Pelita Jaya, Senin (13/10). Laporan pertandingan tersebut tentunya akan dijadikan bahan untuk meramu strategi melawan Deltras.

Musim ini, Jaya mengaku tidak terlalu hafal materi tim yang kini ditukangi M. Zein Alhadad tersebut. Pasalnya setelah ditinggalkannya, hanya ada tiga pemain yang masih berbaju Deltras, yaitu Christian Rene Martinez, Bambang S., dan Bakri Umarella.

"Namun dari tiga pemain tersebut, hanya Rene yang sering menjadi starter. Sedangkan Bambang dan Bakri sering duduk di bangku cadangan," katanya. (oji/"GM")**

4 Pemain Persib Jangan Over

2008-10-19T23:32:00.000-07:00

AHMAD YANI, (GM).-
Bagi Jaya Hartono dan empat pemain yang kini berlabuh di Persib Bandung, yaitu Hilton Moreira, Airlangga Sucipto, Hariono, dan Waluyo, pertandingan melawan mantan klubnya, Deltras Sidoarjo, Rabu (22/10) bisa dikatakan sebagai ajang reuni. Meski demikian, Jaya mengingatkan empat pemain Persib yang musim lalu berbaju Deltras Sidoarjo itu untuk bermain normal dan tidak berlebihan.

"Saya ingatkan kepada mereka untuk tampil melawan mantan klubnya dengan menampilkan permainan seadanya tidak dilebih-lebihkan," ujar Jaya kepada wartawan, usai memandu latihan di Stadion Persib, Jln. Ahmad Yani Bandung, Minggu (19/10).

Dijelaskan pelatih yang musim lalu menukangi Deltras ini, sikap dan permainan yang berlebihan akan berdampak negatif terhadap penampilan Persib secara keseluruhan. Bermain secara berlebihan, nantinya akan menimbulkan sikap over dan lupa memikirkan diri sendiri.

"Sikap over ini, yang tidak saya inginkan terjadi dalam pertandingan nanti, yang diperlihatkan pemain Persib yang musim lalu memperkuat Deltras Sidoarjo," katanya.

Jika hal tersebut benar-benar terjadi, lanjutnya, permainan Persib bisa acak-acakan atau tidak karuan. Hal itu tentu akan merusak kesolidan dan koordinasi permainan.

"Kondisi seperti itu akan membuat permainan acak-acakan, sehingga sangat merugikan Persib," katanya.

Sikap over yang dilakukan para pemain saat bertanding melawan mantan klubnya, dalam penilaian Jaya, sering terjadi dalam sebuah pertandingan. Namun akibatnya bukannya positif, melainkan negatif.

"Saya melihat kondisi seperti itu sering terjadi dan saya berharap para pemain Persib tidak terjebak melakukan hal serupa," tambahnya.

Yang harus diperlihatkan eks pemain Deltras adalah motivasi tinggi saat melawan mantan klubnya. Menurut Jaya, motivasi tinggi wajib diperlihatkan. "Motivasi untuk bermain bagus saat berhadapan dengan mantan klub adalah harus dan wajib dilakukan para pemain," tegasnya.

Saat menghadapi Deltras, Jaya meminta para pemain Persib menampilkan permainan kolektif agar bisa meraih hasil maksimal. Karena itu, setiap pemain diharapkan fokus dan berkonsentrasi penuh menghadapi laga melawan Deltras.

"Yang penting kolektivitas bermain, karena hanya dengan itulah Persib bisa meraih hasil maksimal saat menghadapi Deltras nanti," katanya. (B.111)**

Organisasi Pertahanan Persib Dimatangkan

2008-10-18T02:00:00.000-07:00

AHMAD YANI, (GM).-Menjelang pertandingan melawan Deltras Sidoarjo di Stadion Gelora Delta Sidoarjo, Rabu (22/10), pelatih Persib Bandung, Jaya Hartono terus mematangkan organisasi pertahanan pasukannya. Pada sesi latihan sore di Stadion Persib, Jln. A. Yani Bandung, Jumat (17/10), Jaya terlihat fokus menggenjot para pemain belakang, terutama trio Maman Abdurahman, Nyeck Nyobe Georges Clement, dan Edi Hafid Murtado.

"Sore ini (kemarin, red), fokus latihan kita memang kepada organisasi dan koordinasi di lini pertahanan. Karena itu, berbagai variasi set piece saya berikan dalam latihan kali ini untuk diantisipasi pemain belakang," kata Jaya usai memimpin sesi latihan sore kemarin.
Berdasarkan pengamatan "GM", pada sesi latihan kemarin, Jaya terlihat semakin matang memasang Edi Hafid sebagai stoper pengganti Nova Arianto yang harus absen akibat hukuman akumulasi kartu kuning. Dalam latihan set piece itu, Edi Hafid sudah dipasangkan dengan Nyeck di posisi stoper dan Maman yang tampil sebagai libero.

Ketiga pemain belakang Persib itu didampingi dua bek sayap, Gilang Angga Kusumah dan Hari Salisburri yang harus membantu lini pertahanan. Kelima pemain ini harus mengantisipasi berbagai variasi umpan silang, serta tendangan bebas di sekitar areal penalti.
"Tujuannya memang agar para pemain belakang kita bisa mengantisipasi berbagai kemungkinan serangan lawan, baik itu dari umpan crossing maupun bola-bola mati tendangan bebas," ujar mantan pelatih Deltras ini.

Percaya Edi
Semakin mantapnya Jaya untuk memasang Edi Hafid sebagai starter pada saat menghadapi Deltras nanti diakui secara terbuka oleh Jaya. Ia mengatakan, pemasangan Edi Hafid bukan semata lantaran tidak ada pilihan lain, menyusul cederanya Waluyo, tapi karena ia percaya dengan kapasitasnya.

"Saya percaya dengan kemampuan Edi Hafid. Lagi pula, dia sudah lama bermain di Persib. Soal pematangan dalam sesi latihan kali ini, hanya karena Edi Hafid jarang mendapatkan kesempatan. Buktinya, dia main bagus saat bermain di Semarang melawan PSMS," kata Jaya.
Jaya juga tidak meragukan kalau Edi Hafid bakal tampil grogi pada saat dipercaya menjadi starter untuk pertama kalinya pada musim ini. "Sedikit nervous mungkin. Tapi, saya sudah meminta Maman, sebagai pemain paling belakang (libero, red), untuk terus berkomunikasi dan memompa semangat Edi Hafid. Saya percaya, tidak ada persoalan," kata Jaya.

Kendati fokus latihan lebih ke organisasi pertahanan, namun Jaya juga tetap meminta para pemain depan yang diplotnya bakal dipasang pada saat melawan Deltras, yaitu Rafael Alves Bastos dan Hilton Moriera, untuk tetap serius dalam melakukan duel dengan pemain belakang.
"Dengan begitu, selain organisasi pertahanan bisa didapat, pemain depan juga bisa mengasah kemampuan untuk menerobos lini pertahanan lawan," kata Jaya. (B.82)**

Persib Tidak Akan Dimiliki Indivudu

2008-10-16T23:55:00.000-07:00

BANDUNG, TRIBUN - Ketua Harian Persib Edi Siswadi memberi garansi semua aspek legal yang dibutuhkan Persib untuk jadi tim profesional, akan tuntas diurus pada akhir tahun ini. Edi optimistis, sebagai klub profesioanl Persib pada gilirannya akan tumbuh sebagau sebuah perusahaan yang biasa membiayai dirinya sendiri.

“Dengan pengelolaan yang profesional Persib menjadi perusahaan yang akan memberikan keuntungan bagi para pemilik saham,” ujar Edi pada acara launching program Komunitas Pecinta Persib 1933, Rabu (15/10) malam.

Edi menegaskan pihaknya selama ini terus bekerja untuk bisa melahirkan Persib sebagai klub sekaligus perusahaan profesional. Untuk jadi klub profesional, Edi mengatakan Persib harus dikelola bersama secara profesional pula. “Kita bersama-sama akan menciptakan era baru Persib yang profesional. Ini menjadi bukti Persib selama ini tidak dikelola secara angin lalu,” tutur Edi.

Salah satu upaya meredesain Persib ke arah profesionalisme, Edi mengakui yang paling mendesak adalah menata komposisi saham kepemilikan tim Maung Bandung. “Kita belum bagaimana komposisinya nanti. Tapi yang pasti saham Persib tidak akan dimiliki perseorangan. Peran pemerintah daerah (Bandung) tetap dibutuhkan Persib,” urai Edi kepada wartawan.

Edi mengingatkan Persib tidak mungkin lepas dari pemerintah Kota Bandung, alasannya Persib sudah menjadi milik, menjadi roh, dan menjadi jiwa masyarakat Bandung dan bahkan Jawa Barat. “Untuk itu pemerintah Kota Bandung harus memiliki sahan Persib. Tapi itu tadi prosentasenya belum bisa ditentukan,” kata Edi.

Menurut Edi dengan memberikan hak kepemilikan saham Persib kepada pemerintah Kota Bandung, juga sebagai upaya agar Persib tidak dimiliki perseorangan atau individu. “Langkah itu juga agar Persib tidak lepas dari Kota Bandung. Bila dimiliki perseorangan, Persib bisa saja sepertim Persijatim yang pernah pindah ke Solo dan Palembang. Bagaimana seandainya bila Persib dimiliki perseorangan dan dipindahkan ke Papua. Yang kasihan bobotoh harus ke Papua untuk mendukung Persib,” ucap Edi sambil tersenyum. (daf)

Persib Keberatan Jadwal Laga Lawan PSM

2008-10-09T18:57:00.000-07:00

Persib Bandung secara resmi mengirimkan surat keberatan atas permintaan PSM Makassar melalui Badan Liga Indonesia (BLI) yang menginginkan agar pertemuan kedua tim pada putaran pertama Liga Super Indonesia (LSI) 2008-2009, 26 Oktober mendatang, dilakukan di Bandung terlebih dahulu. Alasan Persib, sejauh ini pihaknya belum mendapatkan izin keramaian maupun penggunaan stadion yang akan digunakan sebagai tempat pertandingan.
"Kita bukannya menolak permintaan BLI untuk menjadi tuan rumah terlebih dahulu. Tapi, sejauh ini kita belum mendapatkan izin dari pihak-pihak terkait," kata Sekretaris Eksekutif Persib, Edi Djukardi ketika dihubungi "GM", Kamis (9/10).

Berdasarkan jadwal awal yang sudah dirilis BLI, pada putaran pertama ini, sedianya pertemuan PSM dan Persib pada putaran pertama dijadwalkan berlangsung di Stadion Andi Mattalatta, Makassar. Namun, karena ada proses pemilihan kepala daerah (pilkada) di ibu kota Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan itu, PSM melalui BLI meminta Persib untuk menjadi tuan rumah lebih dulu.
Dikatakan Edi, setelah permintaan BLI itu dikonsultasikan, manajemen tim ternyata merasa keberatan dan tetap memilih dijamu PSM lebih dulu dan bertindak sebagai tuan rumah pada putaran kedua mendatang sesuai dengan jadwal semula.

Dua partai aman
Sementara itu, pada Kamis (9/10), Badan Pengelola (BP) Stadion Si Jalak Harupat Soreang, Kab. Bandung, akhirnya hanya mengizinkan Persib untuk menggunakan stadion tersebut pada saat menjamu Persijap Jepara (Kamis, 30/10) dan Persita Tangerang (Sabtu, 8/11). Sedangkan izin dua laga Persib lainnya, yaitu melawan PSM (Minggu, 26/10) dan Arema Malang (Minggu, 2/11) tidak diberikan karena alasan pemeliharaan stadion.

"Pemeliharaan stadion, terutama rumput, memerlukan waktu yang cukup lama. Kita tidak ingin rumput stadion menjadi cepat rusak karena terus-menerus dipakai pertandingan," ujar Sekretaris BP Stadion Si Jalak Harupat, Ahmad Ruslani di Sekretariat BP Si Jalak Harupat Soreang, Kamis (9/10).

Menurut Ruslani, hanya dua pertandingan yang diizinkan karena terlalu berdekatannya jadwal pertandingan yang satu dengan pertandingan yang lainnya. "Kita sudah sampaikan keputusan ini kepada Panpel Persib Bandung hari ini (kemarin, red)," ungkapnya.
Meskipun demikian, pihaknya masih belum tahu apakah keputusan tersebut bisa diubah atau tidak. Namun yang pasti, katanya, sampai saat ini BP sudah mengambil keputusan seperti itu. "Ya, sementara kita hanya mengeluarkan izin untuk dua pertandingan. Untuk ke depannya seperti apa, saya tidak tahu," katanya.

Dalam kesempatan itu, BP Si Jalak Harupat juga menyarankan kepada Panpel Persib untuk menyediakan layar lebar pada laga berikutnya. Hal ini didasari besarnya animo bobotoh pada pertandingan Persib sebelumnya. "Ini merupakan antisipasi untuk para penonton yang tidak kebagian tiket masuk supaya tidak melakukan hal anarkis dan merusak stadion," ujarnya. (B.82/B.111)**

Di Acara "Berbagi Kasih" Viking Larangan Atribut Disosialisasikan

2008-09-20T20:05:00.000-07:00

AHMAD YANI, (GM).-Selain melalui media massa, Panitia Pelaksana (Panpel) Pertandingan Persib Bandung akan melakukan sosialisasi larangan pemakaian atribut oleh bobotoh pada saat menyaksikan tim kesayangannya bertanding, terutama ketika menjamu PSIS Semarang dan Pelita Jaya Jabar di Stadion Si Jalak Harupat Soreang, Kab. Bandung 22 dan 25 September mendatang, secara langsung kepada bobotoh.
Menurut Ketua Panpel Persib, Iwan Kartiwan, sosialisasi larangan penggunaan atribut Persib secara langsung kepada bobotoh itu akan dilakukan pada acara "Berbagi Kasih di Bulan Ramadan" yang bakal digelar Viking Persib Fans Club di Kompleks Olahraga Saparua, Sabtu (20/9) ini.
"Kebetulan, Viking sebagai penggagas acara mengundang Panpel Persib dan pihak kepolisian. Karena itu, acara itu akan kita manfaatkan untuk melakukan sosialisasi larangan pemakaian atribut Persib pada saat bobotoh menyaksikan tim kesayangannya bertanding," kata Iwan di Sekretariat Panpel Persib, Jln. A. Yani Bandung.
Dikatakan Iwan, meski pihak kepolisian sudah mengizinkan bobotoh untuk menyaksikan langsung pertandingan Persib, namun mereka masih tetap dalam status terhukum oleh Komisi Disiplin (Komdis) PSSI. Hukuman akibat insiden kerusuhan pada saat Persib menjamu Persija Jakarta, 20 Juli lalu itu adalah larangan bobotoh memakai atribut ke stadion di seluruh Indonesia selama satu tahun.

Sebelumnya, pihak Panpel Pertandingan Persib mengaku gembira setelah permohonan izin penggunaan Stadion Si Jalak Harupat Soreang, Kab. Bandung dikabulkan pihak Musyawarah Pimpinan Daerah (Muspida) Kab. Bandung.
Panpel bertekad untuk menyukseskan dua laga melawan PSIS Semarang (Senin, 22/9) dan Pelita Jaya Jabar (Kamis, 25/9). Salah satunya adalah dengan memperketat pengamanan.
"Karena bobotoh Persib masih dalam status terhukum dan karena ini merupakan pertandingan pertama disaksikan penonton setelah insiden kerusuhan lawan Persija, kita akan memberlakukan pengamanan ketat untuk menyukseskan dua pertandingan ini," kata Ketua Panpel Persib, Iwan Kartiwan di Sekretariat Panpel Persib, Jln. A. Yani Bandung, Kamis (18/9).
Dikatakan Iwan, untuk mengamankan jalannya pertandingan melawan PSIS dan Pelita Jaya, panpel akan melibatkan sedikitnya 800 personel keamanan dari berbagai kesatuan, termasuk tim penjinak bahan peledak (jihandak) dari Brimob Polda Jabar yang jumlah lebih dari 200 personel.
"Agar tidak terjadi hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan seperti penggunaan mercon dan kembang api, kita akan menempatkan regu jihandak di sembilan pintu masuk stadion. Selain harus sudah memegang tiket, mereka juga akan menjalani body recheck (pemeriksaan tubuh, red) oleh tim jihandak itu," kata Iwan. (B.82)**

Bobotoh Siap Serbu Semarang

2008-09-12T10:08:00.000-07:00

GURAME, (GM).-Karena jarak tempuh yang relatif lebih dekat, bobotoh Persib Bandung dipastikan bakal menyerbu Semarang untuk mendukung tim kesayangannya saat berhadapan dengan tuan rumah PSMS Medan di Stadion Jatidiri Semarang, Sabtu (13/9). Mereka berharap, kehadiran mereka di tempat pertandingan bisa membantu moral para pemain Persib untuk meraih kemenangan tandang pertamanya di Liga Super Indonesia (LSI) 2008-2009.
"Dari informasi yang saya dapatkan, anggota Viking yang akan berangkat secara terorganisasi adalah dari Distrik Cimahi. Mereka akan berangkat dengan menggunakan bus," kata Yana Ewok, salah seorang pentolan Viking Persib Fans Club di Sekretariat Persib, Jln. Gurame Bandung, Kamis (11/9).
Dikatakan Ewok, selain satu bus rombongan anggota Viking dari Distrik Cimahi, sejumlah anggotanya pun sudah banyak yang menyatakan bakal berangkat dengan menggunakan kereta api. "Kami memang tidak secara resmi mengirimkan anggota Viking ke Semarang. Tapi, secara perseorangan, mereka sudah menyatakan siap berangkat, baik dengan menggunakan kereta api maupun kendaraan pribadi," kata Ewok.
Ewok memperkirakan, gelombang bobotoh yang akan berangkat ke Semarang, kemungkinan besar bakal mulai terlihat mulai Jumat (12/9) ini. "Kebanyakan mereka akan berangkat besok (hari ini, red)," katanya.
Sebelumnya, salah seorang pentolan Viking lainnya, Ayi Beutik sempat mengatakan, jarak dari Bandung ke Semarang yang relatif lebih dekat dan bisa dijangkau dengan biaya murah, menjadi penyebab banyaknya bobotoh yang akan berangkat ke Semarang.
"Kalau ke Palembang, bobotoh yang akan berangkat wajib naik pesawat terbang. Tapi kalau ke Semarang, naik kereta odong-odong (ekonomi, red) secara estafet pun bisa dilakukan. Karena itu, saya yakin banyak bobotoh yang berangkat ke Semarang," ujar Beutik di Stadion Persib, Jln. A. Yani Bandung. (B.82)**

Robby, "Sudah Saya Ajak Bicara"

2008-09-12T10:05:00.000-07:00

LETUPAN persoalan yang mulai terdengar di dalam timnya, menyusul kekalahan 2-4 dari Sriwijaya FC di Stadion Gelora Sriwijaya Palembang, dinilai Asisten Pelatih Persib, Robby Darwis, sebagai suatu hal yang wajar. Menurutnya, hal itu bisa disebabkan tensi emosi para pemain yang sedang meningkat akibat kekecewaannya terhadap keputusan wasit dan hakim garis pada laga melawan Sriwijaya FC.
"Hal seperti itu (letupan emosi pemain, red) saya kira wajar. Orang yang sedang berpuasa biasanya emosinya cukup tinggi. Apalagi hal itu semakin dipicu oleh keputusan hakim garis saat lawan Sriwijaya yang tidak benar," kata Robby ketika dihubungi "GM" di Semarang, Kamis (11/9).
Kendati demikian, Robby yang kenyang akan intrik dan berbagai persoalan yang muncul di tubuh tim selama hampir 20 tahun membela Persib, setuju kalau persoalan yang diletupkan para pemainnya itu harus dikomunikasikan dengan baik.
"Karena itu, secara pribadi, saya sudah mengajak bicara para pemain yang sempat ngambek itu," kata Robby yang mengakhiri kariernya sebagai pemain bersama Persib pada pertengahan Liga Indonesia (LI) V/1998-1999 ini.
Dengan dikomunikasikan secara langsung dengan pemain, berbagai persoalan yang yang mengganjal dalam diri pemain bisa mencair. (endan suhendra/ "GM")**

Jaya Tolak Komentari Protes Pemain

2008-09-11T11:22:00.000-07:00

Jaya Hartono mengaku sudah mengevaluasi kekalahan 2-4 dari Sriwijaya FC di Stadion Jakabaring, Palembang, Sumsel, Selasa (9/9). Namun pelatih Persib ini menolak berkomentar tentang kisruh intern yang melanda timnya.

Kepada Tribun di lokasi latihan di Stadion Citarum Semarang, Kamis (11/9), Jaya Hartono mengatakan dirinya memilih berkonsentrasi untuk menghadapi PSMS Medan.
Diakui Jaya gelombang pernyataan pemain-pemainnya yang mempertanyakan formasi yang dipilihnya menempatkan pemain bukan pada peran spesialiasinya, bukan tidak penting untuk ditanggapi.
Namun saat ini kata Jaya, mempersiapkan diri untuk menghadapi tim Ayam Kinantan, jauh lebih penting.

"Kami tim pelatih sudah mengevaluasi semua yang terjadi pada pertandingan melawan Sriwijaya. Namun kami lebih banyak mengevaluasi soal teknis," kata Jaya.
Tentang latihan kemarin yang diisi game dan banyak mempraktekkan serangan dari sayap, diakui Jaya sebagai latihan biasa. "Latihan hari ini (Kamis) lebih untuk mengembalikan fisik pemain," elaknya.

Dilihat dari segi teknis, seperti diakui Jaya, kekalahan dari Sriwijaya karena banyak pemainnya yang melakukan kesalahan. Jaya misalnya mencatat pemain-pemain bertahan timnya terlalu sering keluar dari posisinya.

"Lawan Sriwijaya terlalu banyak salah komunikasi. Nova (Arianto) misalnya, sebagai libero dia sering terlalu jauh meninggalkan posnya di lini belakang untuk mengambil lawan. Padahal pada semua pemain belakang, saya instruksikan untuk tidak jauh meninggalkan wilayah permainan di kotak 16," tutur Jaya.

Walau tidak merinci secara gamblang, ketika menghadapi tim asuhan Rahmad Darmawan, Jaya mengakui pemain-pemain tengah dan depan Persib kerap menemukan kebuntuan ketika melakukan serangan.

Berkaitan dengan telah digelar evaluasi pascakekalahan di Palembang, Jaya mengaku mengaku sudah punya strategi untuk diterapkan saat menghadapi PSMS yang sekarang ditukangi pelatih Erick Williams. "Tapi saya tidak akan bicara soal strategi secara rinci," ucap Jaya.
Namun yang pasti, Jaya sudah menyiapkan pemain yang dinilai pas untuk mengisi posisi yang ditinggal Nyeck Nyobe dan Hilton Moreira. Nyeck dan Hilton harus absen karena terkena hukuman akumulasi kartu.

Untuk memainkan peran yang biasa dimainkan Nyeck, Jaya menyebut Maman Abdurahman. Maman yang selama ini kerap jadi cadangan, disebutkan Jaya punya kualitas sama untuk mengawal lini belakang Persib.
Untuk menambal bolong menyusul absennya Hilton, Jaya berharap besar kepada Rafael Alves Bastos. Ironisnya Bastos yang disiapkan Jaya untuk memainkan peran Hilton, hingga hari kemarin belum bergabung dengan rekan-rekannya di Semarang.
"Bastos masih menyelesaikan masalah keluarga. Anaknya sakit. Mudah-mudahan dia segera bergabung," ujar Jaya.

Suara Hati Bobotoh Utk PERSIB BANDUNG

2008-08-19T13:58:00.000-07:00

Sedih, bangga, & bahagia bercampur aduk menjadi satu. Perasaan itulah yang dirasakan ketika melihat persib bertanding melawan persik Kediri dimanahan. Semua orang tahu bahwasanya pertandingan ini adalah sebuah pertandingan besar. Jika pun ada kekurangan dari pertandingan ini adalah tidak terdengarnya riuh sorak sorai pendukung kedua belah kubu distadion. Kerugian besar tentunya dialami oleh kubu bobotoh, sudah jatuh tertimpa tangga ! mungkin istilah ini tepat untuk disematkan kepada bobotoh. hukuman satu tahun yang diputuskan BLI sepertinya tidak cukup hingga akhirnya pertandingan pun dilaksanakan jauh diluar jawa barat dan tanpa dukungan supporter. padahal semestinya pertandingan ini dilaksanakan di bandung karena PERSIB mendapat jatah menjadi tuan rumah. tapi kenyataan tidak berjalan beriringan dengan harapan. akhirnya pertandingan pun dilaksanakanjauh diluar jawa barat.

Perjalanan jauh nan melelahkan dari ujung timur jelas terlihat dari wajah – wajah berseragam biru dilapangan. Semua bobotoh tahu bahwa semua laga tandang persib berakhir dengan kekalahan dan tentu saja hal itu membuat semua bobotoh merasa resah. Apalagi tim yang dihadapi adalah sebuah tim dengan materi yang menakutkan yang diisi para bintang.
Masih ada sedikit asa dihati para bobotoh yang merindukan sebuah kemenangan, dan asa itulah yang membuat bobotoh selalu ada untuk persib kapanpun dan dimanapun sekalipun persib saat ini sedang dirundung banyak masalah. Mulai dari kerusuhan para bobotoh hingga statement bapa kapolda yang keukeuh dengan keputusanya tentang ijin pelaksanaan pertandingan PERSIB di kandang. keringat tanpa lelah para punggawa PERSIB yang terus berlari dan berlari tiada henti. Mungkin yang difikirkan para pemain PERSIB adalah bagaimana caranya agar tidak kalah dan pulang dengan tangan hampa. Jika seandainya kita yang berada ditengah – tengah lapangan dengan segala kesulitan yang ada mungkin kita akan memilih menjadi pengecut lalu bersembunyi dibalik argument – argument yang dipublikasikan diberbagai media. Tapi tidak dengan PERSIB. meski rasa lelah mendera, meski hati sedang dalam keadaan terluka, malam ini PERSIB begitu perkasa. Layaknya seorang kesatria yang sedang terluka yang dengan gagahnya bertarung memperjuangan hargadiri dan kehormatan hingga darah penghabisan itulah PERSIB malam ini.

Indah, begitulah hati kecil ini berkata. Sebuah hadiah kemenangan yang diraih dalam situasi yang sulit sangatlah terasa indah. Apalagi kemenangan itu seperti sebuah kerinduan panjang yang didambakan. Kemenangan yang diraih disaat banyak pihak memandang sinis, disaat banyak pihak seperti berkonspirasi hendak melakukan penghianatan untuk menjatuhkan.
Terimakasih PERSIB, terimakasih atas hadiah yang engkau berikan kepada kami. Teriakan sekeras apapun mungkin tidak akan mampu membayar apa yang telah engkau berikan kepada kami. Terimakasih PERSIB.

Didedikasikan untuk PERSIB tercinta :
Maafkan kami yang telah melukaimu Maafkan kami yang tidak dapat menemanimu Atas nama emosi, maafkan semua ketololan kami Ketololan yang membuat dirimu dirundung masalah Ketololan yang membuat mereka tertawa gembira Ketololan yang kami lakukan hingga kamu terluka Maafkan kami PERSIB.

Dari BOBOTOH untuk PERSIB
