Continuing To Train Without Any Certainty In The League, Igbonefo: It's Not Easy Psychologically

JAKARTA - Persib Bandung defender Victor Igbonefo admits that carrying out training without any certainty that the league will run has a psychological effect.

"Although it's not easy psychologically, because training every day without the certainty of the league, but I still do it," said Igbonefo quoted from the club's official website, Tuesday.

Even so, Igbonefo said that as a professional player, you must always stay in good shape so that you are always ready to play.

"As a professional player, you must always be fit," said Igbonefo, as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, August 3.

Currently Igbonefo is still undergoing individual training so that he can maximally avoid the risk of injury,

The naturalized player from Nigeria insists that he continues to train without depending on the competition in order to continue to maintain his condition in prime condition.

Even so, he still hopes that soccer competitions in Indonesia such as Liga 1 can be held in the near future.

"I always practice, there is a league or not. I do not depend on the competition to maintain conditions. However, I hope there will be competition in the near future," explained Igbonefo.

Currently, the continuation of Liga 1 2021 has not yet come to light after the government has extended the Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) until August 9.

So far, Persib has not made any decisions regarding this matter and has chosen to wait for official directions from PSSI and PT LIB.
