JAKARTA - The match between Persija Jakarta and Persib Bandung in the 2021/2022 League 1 continuation on Tuesday, March 1, is believed to be hot. Both teams will certainly lower their best squad to win.

Ahead of the Persija vs Persib match, there is one opposing player that David da Silva is wary of. The Persib foreign striker asked his teammates not to be careless in guarding the movement of Makan Konate.

Da Silva knows Konate's character very well on the field. The two of them played together at the Malaysian club, Terengganu FC.

"The match against Persija is important, but we must respect each other. Konate is my friend and sometimes we still meet," he continued.

For David da Silva himself, the Persija vs Persib match will be his first experience. The reason is, he was only recruited by Persib in December 2021.
