Persib Beware Of Borneo FC's Strength, Robert Alberts: They Have Experienced Players In Every Position
JAKARTA - Persib Bandung coach Robert Alberts assesses that Borneo FC is a good team and has a good squad depth and is filled with experienced players.
Robert added that Borneo FC often combines the quality of its players to control the ball in matches. Therefore, Persib must be aware of the power possessed by Pesut Etam.
"We know Borneo builds a good team and there is depth in the team. Experienced players in every position. A team that likes to play football. A team that likes to combine the quality of its players with others," said Robert at a press conference, reported Antara.
"So we have to be fully aware of Borneo's strengths, and we respect them as a team," he added.
The 66-year-old coach also said Borneo FC is in transition due to a change of coach, and that could be good or bad, depending on the team's players.
"Of course at the moment they are in a bit of a transition period because of the change of coach. That can be positive or negative, depending on the player's etiquette. If the player wants to make a good impression on the new coaching team, it can improve the player," explained Robert.
Currently, Persib are unbeaten in their first three matches in Liga 1 this season after winning over Barito Putera and Persita, as well as drawing against Borneo FC.
The Persib Bandung vs Borneo FC match will be held on Thursday, September 23 at the Indomilk Arena Stadium, Tangerang, at 19.00 WIB.
