I just read the morning news at tribunjabar.co.id, it says that another problem has occur in the persib players training ground. they said that there is been a leak from the ceiling. This makes some players and staffs are disturbed. I also read that Nyeck Nyobe slip over the stairs because of the leak goes to the staircases and made it slippery.

The same thing happen couple months ago, when the leak happen in the VIP room. Then a couple of months after the training ground is started to be used, the grass in some part of the pitch dried up. They said its because of overusing. Overusing? the only team who use the pitch is the first team and the U-21s. how could it be possible to be overused?

Then some players also complain about the loud music from a pub across the training ground at night. Well what do you expect? its in the middle of the city, well…. middle ish actually. Before it became a training ground, It was a small stadium called Sidolig.

Zaenal Arief, Persib Striker, is still hoping Barkaoui to play in Persib Bandung. Barkaoui is a former Persib striker. He said that Barkaoui has been matched and united with Persib style.

Mr. Edi Siswadi, as a daily chief of the club, mentioned some aspects in taking the decision, why he chose that company. First, they are a local business, so the club has a duty to support it. Then, the company is still growing, so it opens jobs for a local resident. And the last, the government itself has advantage in a tax income.

I think this is just an emotional decision from the club and I do not see a professional decision here. How he could say that he chose a local company because it lives in Bandung not because its product is better than another company including foreign companies. Would the foreign company pay less?
