Persib coach Bojan Hodak admitted that his team's performance did not meet expectations when they lost 0-3 to Ratchaburi in the first leg of the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League (ACL) II at Ratchaburi Stadium, Na Muang, on Wednesday.
Persib's website reported on Thursday that Bojan explained that his players were not at their best from the start of the match.
"We didn't start the game well and conceded in the first 10 minutes," said Bojan.
The Croatian coach assessed that Persib lost control in midfield in the second half, resulting in the two goals conceded.
Bojan said Thom Haye and his teammates often failed to win second balls and were less alert to the opponent's counter-attacks.
