Football System: The Greatest Attacker

CHAPTER 9. Vitality Bottle

The wind this afternoon blew as breezy, the blow slowly touched the hair of the front of Alfie who was seen placing the ball in the grass area of his free kick carefully, his eyes squinted towards the round-skinned thing that was before him.

After being sure of the position of the placement of the ball, Alfie then took a few steps back adjusting the distance for himself to take a swing.

Visible in front of a group of opposing players lined up to form a posse to create a defensive fortress in front of the goal, in the distance also Alfie saw the opposing goalkeeper who was giving instructions to his friend to be even tighter in defense.

Priiit!

Shortly afterwards, the whistle sounds, a sign that Alfie can now take a free kick towards the goal. Instantly the sound in the crowded stadium became silent, which was heard the sound of wind gusts moving freely over the green field.

Everyone's gazes were fixed on Alfie, a thin-bodied boy figure who seemed to be standing with tension. They did not expect Leo, the captain who usually takes free-kicks on his own, to give a chance to score a goal to someone who only has below average ability as a soccer striker when his team he was 0 - 1 behind his opponent.

It seemed Alfie took a deep breath, although he had activated his Beckham card, yet he remained insecure and looked once in his face an aura of worry as this was his first free-kick of his life, and also that will help his team to equalise in this first half.

Alfie started taking his first steps to kick, his eyes were very focused on staring at the ball, followed by his next steps before he finally swung his legs backwards to maximize his strength and

Dhuus!

The hard kick from the impact of his foot made the ball fly in the air, sliding swiftly towards the goal. However, it seems that the ball was too far wide from the opponent's goal.

***

3 Days before the game.

“At last I could put the ball in the direction of the goal in that virtual goal. Yeay!”

Finally Alfie can insert the ball into the target in the shape of a circle in the top right corner of the virtual goal. After 3 days of training with Virtual Beckham, he never put the ball in the direction of his goal.

“Congratulations Sir, you managed to kick on target first. You will get 1 gold coin that will increase in the Master System,” said Virtual Beckham who with his cheerful face gave a gold coin gift to Alfie.

“I got 1 gold coin! Yeay!”

After 2 hours of training with Virtual Beckham was up today, Alfie went back into the portal, currently in his room and immediately lay down his body on the bed.

“System, activate!”

Once the system is active, Alfie sees inside the hologram, on the kiosk feature looks flickering, “Why is his stall impermeable like that well?’ muttered.

“System select Kiosk.” features

When the System opens the kiosk feature, immediately appears the appearance of a yellow bottle with a colorful festive background.

[Congratulations Master, the bottle of Phoenix Elixir is already open]

“System. W-what is a phoenix bottle?”

[The Phoenix Elixir bottle is a body vitality enhancing drink]

“Vitality enhancer? System of. What does it do?”

[Can recover lost energy after tired of practicing]

“Oh so. This bottle seems to still be level 1 huh? And there's a price, 1 gold coin. About when can I use it?” mumbled Alfie in the heart.

***

Back to the game.

"Ha ha ha! Very bad kick Alfie," said Leo mocking loudly.

The players and spectators began to laugh at the ball that seemed to be wide from the goal.

However, suddenly the ball slide with a fast spin it turns to the bottom left towards the top corner of the post in the goal with a very fast lesakan. It turned out that the fast spin of the ball produced an effect that deflected the ball and,

Gool!!!

Alfie scored with his classy free-kick, very similar to the usual goal scored by David Beckham, leaving the players and crowd stunned.

Especially when looking at the expression of Leo who saw the goal from Alfie. His face looked very full of wonder and confusion, his eyes were wide with his jaw dropping like he wanted to be detached from his face.

"Ba-how could he kick the ball so beautifully like that" Leo murmured inwardly.

Compared to the reverse with Alfie who was seen running celebrating his goal with a very happy face, he has scored his second goal in the Regina High School team after the previous match against P-High School, he also scored one goal.

After the goal celebration ended, the match was restarted.

A few minutes pass the O-High School team gets a chance to strike back through the rapid movement of the twins Denny and Donny.

"Donnie! Quickly pass to me!"

With nimble and deft Donny directly feed directly to the front and received with good control also by Denny.

Denny paused for a moment, holding the ball with the sole of his foot, his eyes staring at the goal from his opponent to measure the distance and where the goal from the goal would be directed by him.

"Take this shot!"

After seeing a gap, he immediately shot the ball with the force of his foot and,

The trail!

The ball hit the post and the bounce went to the defender from Regina High School.

"Woi! I empty quickly oper towards me!"

Leo shouted to his fellow defenders, asking to be given a direct pass to himself who was in a free position up front.

"Ah my kick why hit the post! Hurry up and hit that number 10, Leo!" shouted Denny after his kick failed to break into the opponent's goal.

The defender from Regina High School was quick to feed the hull directly to Leo who was running without area towards the opponent's defense.

After getting the ball from the gastric pass earlier, Leo immediately ran his dribble quickly past 1 opposing player's barrier and after a little more reached the opponent's penalty box,

Priiit!

There was a re-infringement in the dangerous area of the O-High School. Leo seemed to be lying on his feet in pain due to a hard tackle from the opposing defender, who was eventually given the yellow card.

However, when he saw his opponent was given a yellow card, Leo immediately got up and casually picked up the ball while muttering, "Ha ha actually I'm just diving, pretending to fall."

With the ball in his hand, Leo approached Alfie again and extended his hand holding the ball.

"W-did Leo give the ball away again? It just so happens that my Beckham card is still active," Alfie murmured inwardly.
