Good News Brought By Persija After The Defeat At Persib Headquarters

JAKARTA - Persija Jakarta lost when they visited Persib Bandung headquarters. Persija lost 0-1 when they visited the Bandung Api Stadium (GBLA) on Wednesday, January 11 afternoon.

The result broke the ambition of the Kemayoran Tigers to climb to the top of the standings. Although the result was disappointing, there was a positive side that could be felt by the goalkeeper and Persija Jakarta captain, Andritany Ardhiyasa.

Through his personal Instagram account, the captain said that the situation when Persija visited Bandung was warmer than before. There is no excessive terror like the previous meetings

"I have played in Bandung against Persib many times, from Si Jalak Harupat to the latest at Gelora Bandung Lautan Api. We have not been able to bring home points from Pasundan land, but we bring good news from there," Andritany wrote on his Instagram on Thursday, January 12.

"The news that we were treated well, without throwing in the stadium or on the way, there was no excessive terror that was usually carried out like the previous matches," he added.

Andritany feels that this is a positive signal of good relations between the two supporters who often clash. Since the Kanguruhan Tragedy, many groups of supporters have agreed to make peace.

The defeat that his team received did not hurt so much. He has already felt improvements in national football in a better direction.

"Perhaps this is a good start to build a warm relationship between Jakarta and Bandung so that the rivalry is only on the field and with a duration of only 90' minutes after that we will again become friends or even relatives to discuss advancing this country's football," wrote the goalkeeper.

"Thank you Bandung for the warm welcome. An apology to Persija (The Jakmania) supporters has not succeeded in bringing important points from Bandung. The second round please welcome them well at our home," he concluded.

Andritany's upload then received a warm welcome from Persib Bandung coach, Luis Milla. Through the comments column, Milla appreciated the warm articles shared by Andritany.

"Congratulations to the words!! Great captain," Luis Milla wrote in reaction.

"Thank you capt, success and see you again," said Achmad Jufriyanto.
