Persija Jakarta's young player Arlyansyah Abdulmanan enthusiastically welcomed the match against Persib Bandung in the 17th week of the 2025/2026 BRI Super League at the Gelora Bandung Lautan Api Stadium this weekend, Sunday (11/1) at 15.30 WIB.
Arlyansyah said this because the meeting against Persib would be his first experience of a big match.
"For me, this is my first time meeting Persib in the Super League. I don't know what the atmosphere will be like yet. If I get the chance to play, I want to prove that I can work hard," said Arlyansyah, as quoted from Persija's official website on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old is in high confidence after scoring his first goal for Persija in the last match against Persijap Jepara at Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium.
Arlyansyah's goal in that match gave the Kemayoran Tigers a 2-0 victory. It was Arlyansyah's second goal contribution, after providing an assist in Persija's opening match last August against Persita Tangerang, which ended in a 4-0 victory.
