"For that, we try to rest because we don't want to take risks," he said.
Bojan Hodak's decision to rest Klok also had a strong reason. The reason is, the former PSM Makassar coach hopes that the 31-year-old player can appear to defend the team in the second leg.
"Hopefully next he (Marc Klok) can enter the squad," said Bojan.
