This information was conveyed by the physical trainer as well as the Head of the PP PBSI Sport Science Development Sub-dept., Iwan Hermawan. He hopes the players’ fitness can be maintained because it has been two days without training since leaving for Europe on Tuesday.

“Hopefully the players’ fitness can be maintained. The purpose of this exercise is for conditioning,” said Iwan, quoted from the official PBSI release.

The players practice on the pitch prepared by the committee at Hameenkylan Liikuntahall, Vantaa. The location only takes 20 minutes from the Skyline Airport Hotel, which is the resting place for the Red-White team.

In the first practice, Hendra Setiawan said he was happy. However, his body still feels stiff because it has been two days without training.

“It’s good to be able to practice again today. Just because I didn’t practice for two days, I still feel stiff,” said Hendra.

Praveen Jordan said the same thing. He was happy and very excited to join the practice.

“Today my friends and I are practicing with passion. It’s very nice to be back in training. This exercise is indeed expected to be able to restore conditions,” concluded Praveen.
