Persib Bandung Set to‍ unleash Haye & Eliano, Aiming for Asian Stage Impact

BANDUNG – ⁤Persib Bandung‍ is poised to significantly revamp its midfield and attack with the anticipated debuts⁣ of Dutch midfielder ‌Meneer Thom Haye and Indonesian international Eliano, signaling a clear ambition to compete not only domestically‌ but also in‌ the upcoming AFC Champions League 2. ‌Coach Bojan‍ Hodak is expected to integrate the new signings strategically, addressing recent midfield struggles⁢ highlighted‍ by losses ⁢to Persijap Jepara and a draw against PSIM Yogyakarta in the Super League.

The arrival of Haye and Eliano represents a tactical shift for Maung Bandung following the departure of Tyronne Del Pino to Malut ⁣United, wich previously disrupted the team’s offensive flow. While William Marcilio was brought in to fill the number 10 role, the ‍supply to him⁤ has been suboptimal. The club ⁣hopes Haye’s playmaking ability and‌ Eliano’s versatility will ⁢unlock attacking potential and ⁢elevate ⁢Persib’s performance‍ on ⁢both fronts.

Hodak is highly likely to pair Haye with Marc Klok in central midfield, ‍envisioning Haye as a ‍field general dictating the tempo while Klok focuses on defensive depth and disrupting opponent’s build-up play.‍ This partnership may necessitate adjustments to the roles of Adam Alis or Luciano⁢ GuaycoChea, who have previously fulfilled similar responsibilities.

Eliano, despite frequently enough featuring as a⁣ right winger, has demonstrated his effectiveness as an attacking midfielder – a role he has successfully occupied with ‌the Indonesian national‍ team. His arrival allows for dynamic interplay with‍ Beckham Putra, with both players‍ capable of⁣ utilizing both flanks and combining‍ effectively on the wings.

The club views ‌the⁤ integration of Haye and Eliano as a crucial‌ step towards establishing Persib Bandung as a⁤ competitive force on the Asian stage, leveraging their quality to make ⁤a significant impact in the AFC ‍Champions League 2.

The manager indicated Anderson’s successful debut positions him for further opportunities, stating, “This (against andorra) is a test for him and I think he graduated. There is no reason for him not to play against Serbia if we decide to give him the position. He is ready to play.”
