Persib Bandung Players Take 2 Days Off for Christmas and Recovery

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Persib Bandung coach Bojan Hodak decided to give his players two days off on December 24 and 25 2024.

Via the club’s official website, Monday (23/12/2024), Hodak said that the holiday was given to celebrate Christmas. He hopes that players who celebrate Christmas can spend time with their families.

Apart from that, additional holidays were also given as a form of appreciation for the victory achieved by Persib Bandung over Persita Tangerang in the match on Sunday (22/12/2024) evening.

“December 25th is definitely a holiday. Yesterday I told the players that we often compete and rarely have time to rest. “I will give them an extra holiday if they win against Persita,” said Hodak.

The Croatian coach added that this rest time is important to restore the physical condition of the players before they face the next match against Persis Solo on Sunday (29/12/2024).

“They deserve this holiday. “Two days off will really help to refresh them physically and mentally,” said Hodak.

Before entering the holiday period, the Persib Bandung players continued to take part in a recovery training session in the morning at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium, Bandung.

The training was designed to speed up the physical recovery process for Tyronne del Pino and his colleagues after the 3-1 win over Persita Tangerang.

The session starts with stretching and light play. After that, players who played more than 60 minutes only underwent recovery training in the form of jogging guided by the physical trainer, Miro Petric. While other players play internal games after completing light gaming sessions.

All Persib Bandung players were seen taking part in training together, including Mateo Kocijan, who previously underwent a special recovery program.
