Persib Bandung even parted with the mainstay defender
The name Ardi Idrus has become familiar to Persib Bandung fans since 2018, at that time Persib was formulated by Mario Gomez. Since then, Ardi has become the mainstay of Persib on the left side of the defense, with his playing style that is adamant and tireless to go forward and backward.
Unfortunately, the togetherness of Ardi and the Blue Prince had to end this time. Ardi has been officially released by Persib and will not be part of the squad for the 2022/23 season competition. This was informed by Maung Bandung on Wednesday, April 13.
“After four seasons of very good togetherness, the collaboration between Persib and Ardi Idrus must end today. The defender from Ternate is no longer part of the Blue Prince squad for the 2022/23 season,” Persib wrote.
According to Persib, it was Ardi who really wanted to leave the blue club, even though a new contract had been prepared. “
On the basis of the common good, Persib also with a heavy heart must be relieved to accept Ardi’s decision to choose not to extend the contract. Both parties agreed to end the togetherness on good terms,” Persib wrote.
Rudolof Yanto Basna will return to the Indonesian League
After undergoing a career in Thailand, starting from tasting Thai League 2 to experiencing Thai League 1, Rudolof Yanto Basna is rumored to be returning to play in Indonesia. The Papuan player had a knee injury, so he had to undergo surgery and therapy.
Basna defended PT Prachuap FC, Sukhothai FC, and Khon Kaen FC while playing in Thailand. Now, Basna is said to be returning to Indonesia and is ready to defend the promotion team. This is not impossible, because Basna himself has been in Indonesia in the last few months.
The club that is said to be ready to recruit Basna is Rans Cilegon FC. Rahmad Darmawan as Rans coach could be a strong reason for Basna to join, because the person who is familiarly called RD was known to work well with Basna when he was at Sriwijaya FC.
