Tarkpor makes speedy return
John Tarkpor will possibly line up for his new club, Persebaya, against his old club, Persitara, after a long winded, drawn out pre season transfer that had both sides fighting over his registration.
Persebaya won and on his debut, alongside fellow new signings Claude Ngon A Djam and Takotoshi Uchida they got thumped 4-1 by fellow newly promoted side PSPS Pekanbaru.
This afternoon against Persitara at the Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium in Jakarta they will be looking for a quick return to winning ways for memories are short in Indonesian football and the performance that blew Persisam out the water recently has been long forgotten.
Persitara have problems of their own. Their keeper, Wawan (?) ain't one of them for it is fair to assume without him in such fine form in the 2-1 defeat against Persema last Sunday defeat would have been greater.
Tarkpor won't recognise his old team. One that gelled so effortlessly at times in the second half of last season struggled to find any cohesion last time out with Persema slicing through their midfield at will.
Prince Bello Kabir seemed out of sorts despite his goal and the side seemed to lack any genuine pace. With Rahmat Rivai gone it remains to be seen whether or not Tantan is the man for the job alongside the talismanic Nigerian.
Three defeats in three games for Persitara, they may look at Danurwindo's four points and wonder what all the bloody fuss is about. Victory this afternoon will go someway towards easing their own doubts.
