JAKARTA - Persib Bandung coach Robert Alberts opened the opportunity to play their two new players, namely David Da Silva and Bruno Cantanhede in the match against Persita Tangerang, Friday tomorrow.

Quoted from Antara from the club's official website, Tuesday, Robert said both David Da Silva and Bruno Cantanhede had adapted well and they were both ready to be fielded in Week 18 of Liga 1 against Persita Tangerang.

"Yes, they can play in the match later. I think all these players have adapted well," said Robert Alberts.

Furthermore, Robert explained that the new Brazilian striker, Bruno Cantanhede is currently struggling hard in the Persib Bandung training session because he has just finished undergoing quarantine at the hotel and has now shown positive developments.

But for David Da Silva, Robert assessed that the former Persebaya Surabaya striker had experienced the same thing as Bruno Cantanhede but he excelled in the adaptation process.

The Dutch coach said that David Da Silva, who had defended Persebaya Surabaya for two years, had a better adaptation process because he already knew about conditions in Indonesia, assisted by his experience.

"Bruno fought hard in his first training after 10 days in the hotel. But now he is training better," said Robert.

"Da Silva also experienced the same thing. But in terms of adaptation, he can do it better because he already knows the conditions in Indonesia," he continued.

Persib Bandung in the Liga 1 half-season transfer window officially brought in two new Brazilian players in the attacking position, namely Bruno Cantanhede and David Da Silva.

Bruno Cantanhede was brought in from Hanoi FC to replace another Brazilian striker, Wander Luiz whose contract was not renewed by Persib's management.

Furthermore, David Da Silva was first announced by Persib Bandung on December 14 last, to replace the position of Dutch striker Geoffrey Castillion whose performance did not satisfy the coaching team.

Both have the opportunity to make their debut with Persib Bandung during the 18th week of Liga 1 against Persita Tangerang at Ngurah Rai Stadium, Denpasar, Bali, Friday at 20.45 western Indonesia time.
