Football: The Gold Generation!

Mentally

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly crowded after Mr. Danang announced he would face the city's Runner Up last year. Mr. Danang requested that all students calm down and continue with his announcement.

"This trial match is not an ordinary test match, Mr. Erwin as the coach of Wismaraja High School will select us whether we deserve to participate in the tournament between Wismaraja High School and Trisatya High School as the guest team. He said we don't need to win the important thing to be able to give a fight then we will be invited to the inter-school tournament."

Hearing that the students of soccer Exkul members are getting happier, Wismaraja High School and Trisatya High School are eternal rivals in this city these two schools are always in the top 3 cities every year. Not only in football, these two schools also excel in other sports.

When all the members were in a scene, there were two people who were just pensive and silent to hear the announcement, they were Rizki and Doni students from the same Junior High School, namely Tunas Pelita Junior High School. Rizki who is usually rancid and splashy suddenly became calm in the hall at that time.

"Don, Wismaraja High School isn't that the school...?" Not yet finished speaking, Riski's speech came to a halt.

Al who was excited reprimanded Riski who happened to be his classmate.

"Liat Ki, we will fight the 2nd champion of the tournament last year. Shadow if you score a hatrick in that game."

"Are you stupid? Our opponent Wismaraja High School, one of his students became the best High School player last year."

Instead of being happy, Riski raised her voice slightly to Al. Though Al only say hello, besides their classmates they are also one exkul now.

Hearing Riski's shout suddenly the atmosphere that had been stirring was immediately silent. Eril as vice-captain must also interfere.

"What do you mean it's Chandra?" Ask Eril.

"Yes, what's more, he was our upperclassman at Junior High." Sahut Riski with a low tone.

"He's a dangerous player if we don't implement a good strategy we'll be beaten by a landslide." Doni spoke at the time.

Mr. Danang looked at his students who were afraid to directly motivate them.

"You scared? Are you scared because he's the best player in town? Riski, Doni are you scared because he was your upperclassman at Junior High? Have you forgotten your previous goals? How do we want to penetrate the top 4 cities if you are mentally weak like this. Remember he's just the best player in town. Not the best player in the world." Firmly Mr. Danang with a loud voice.

"If he is the best player in the city, then I will be the best national goalkeeper. Riski Ronaldo said his hobby is Hatrick but mentally short, weak. Welcome the new hero Oliver Al Kahn!" Al immediately cut Mr. Danang's words with the aim of motivating Riski and others.

"It's true this is just a test match for what are we afraid of?" Ridwan continues to motivate.

"Important we only need exercise training. All right up here, this announcement please get back to rest. After school we will practice, the trial time will be held in 3 days at Wismaraja school. I hope you guys prepare yourself." Mr. Danang also left the hall after informing the test schedule. The other disciples also left the hall.

......................

The clock shows at 3 pm signifies all students of SMA 70 to go home. Al and Riski went straight to the training ground, on their way to meet Doni. Al who was still curious about Chandra asked the two of them.

"Chandra what's a person like?" Al asked a little curiously.

"He is a dangerous player despite his position in the central midfield but his shooting and dribbles are very dangerous let alone his bait." Doni answered questions from Al.

Al asked them about Chandra.

"He's 11th or 12th grade?"

"11 but I had a 12th grader from our Junior High. I played a year with him but not with Riski because his brother's position is Striker as much as Riski." Obviously Doni.

"Oh so you've been a backup player, Ki?" Sindir Al, the look in his eyes supported by the expression of his face, obviously it's a mocking face that sucks, sometimes Riski wants to hit the head of his comrade-in-arms.

"Whisper! mending you're mentally prepared before being booted 10 goals by those two guys." Riski was upset.

Al is actually also afraid but he hides it and does not show it to Riski and Doni. As he talked about Chandra they finally got to the ball field for practice.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Mr. Danang gave instructions for training.

"Well understand!" All the students answered loudly

"The position of striker and goalkeeper please practice in pairs." Added Mr. Danang. Pak Danang's goal is to pair strikers and goalkeepers because these two positions are often faced during matches. With this exercise can improve the accuracy of the shot of the striker and also improve the reflexes of the goalkeeper.

Riski who is a 10th class striker came to Al's place. So also with Bara and Adit who are strikers and goalkeepers from the 11th class, Eril also participated in this exercise although his position as a right-wing attacker Eril has a shooting accuracy equivalent to the striker and also Eril can position in the striker.

The exercise lasts for 2 hours. After a long training time shows at 5 pm it is time to go home from Ekskul training. Mr. Danang as the coach disbanded the training and told his students to go home and rest.

"Well everybody go home, nobody stop by the cafe."

"Good sir." All the students answered simultaneously

"Finally, I also came home sick from the jump. Hey Al let's go home with us in line, right?" Take Adit to Al

"Come on." Al accepts Adit's invitation to go home together

While on the trip Adit spoke to Al that his position was actually during last year.

"Being a goalkeeper is very heavy yes, when losing the goalkeeper is blamed but when winning it is forgotten. I prefer my original position in last year's defensive midfield. But when I saw that Doni from Junior High was in the same position as me, I hesitated to get a place in the team. Well even in goalkeeping, you'll be the main goalkeeper, Al, not me."

Hearing the words of Adit Al suddenly thought, what if he was just a burden on the team in the match.

Well that's why the goalkeeper of a thousand saves can be forgotten with one fatal mistake. Inner Al in the heart.

When meeting a crossroads, Al and Adit who walk together must separate because from here the direction of their house is different.

"Al my house from here turn right we'll split up, okay see you tomorrow." Adit left with a wave of his hand.

Al waved to Adit. Al is still thinking about the risks from the goalkeeping position until accidentally nudging the girl on the road.

"Sorry I didn't accidentally."

"Well, that's okay" replied the girl, her voice low.

Al shocked.

Al knew exactly what this voice was. This sound is like the voice of Fania, the girl whom Al wanted from Junior High.

"Fania's voice?" That is what Al says in his heart.

The girl turned around.

Deg.

A few seconds later I fell silent, like a magnetized leg, his lips twitching as if the tip of his tongue was stuck.

Allegedly right.

The girl he had dreamed of holding her hand with the official status of courting, was now standing before him now.

Al thought dream?

Oh? Or is it really just a dream?
