Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
PSIM Yogyakarta coach Jean Paul Van Gastel drew comparisons between the electric atmosphere at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta and the passionate home grounds of Besiktas and Feyenoord, clubs where he previously coached.
Van Gastel is a seasoned Dutch tactician with a decorated career. The 53-year-old has served as an assistant coach at both Besiktas and Feyenoord, including a close working relationship with Giovanni Van Bronckhorst.
Taking the helm at PSIM Yogyakarta marks Van Gastel’s first experience in Indonesian football. His first taste of the fervent support at the SUGBK came during a Friday, November 28th clash against Persija Jakarta.

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this match. There were a lot of fans and a great vibe. Compared to the clubs I’ve worked with before, I really liked all the excitement and atmosphere,” Van Gastel said after the match against Persija.
“I enjoyed the atmosphere here. I want to commend [PSIM goalkeeper] Fikri for playing in such a big game against Persija,” Van Gastel added.
Despite the memorable debut, Van Gastel’s first encounter with Persija ended in a 2-0 defeat. Maxwell De Souza (77′) and Allano (95′) found the back of the net for the winning side. The result impacts PSIM’s positioning in a tightly contested league table.
“Persija deserved to win. We didn’t play badly, but we weren’t at our best, especially in the first half,” Van Gastel explained.
The loss prevents PSIM from climbing higher in the league standings, but they remain in fourth place with 22 points.
“Overall, I’m proud of the team. We fought for points, but unfortunately, Persija won. After 13 games, no one expected us to be near the top of the table. We will recover and start fresh,” Van Gastel concluded.
