Chapter 113: The Counterattack
Renaldi now has the ball in our defence. Unlike the others when it comes to possession of a ball that looks nervous and hasty, Renaldi is completely different. He was so calm, even if someone pressured him he could still remain calm.
He passed the ball to Calvin, who opened the space to his left. Calvin then slowly began to bring the ball to the middle of the field, I ran to the side while looking for a gap in the opponent's defense.
When I was busy escaping from the shadows of opponents who always followed me wherever I went, suddenly Calvin immediately kicked the ball towards the goal from a considerable distance. Unfortunately, the kick can still be pushed aside by the enemy goalkeeper and only produces corner kicks.
Calvin took the ball back and took a corner. Tomi looks close to the side of the field, while I look for a position in the opposing goal area. Renaldi was seen standing upright almost in the middle of the field in case of a counter-attack.
Calvin seemed still unsure where he was going to pass. The opposing players are very strict when it comes to guarding and shadowing our players.
In the end, Calvin prefers to send the ball to the mouth of the goal. I know what that means. Maybe the point is that there will be chaos and chaos in the opponent's goal mouth area.
Sure enough, the ball was quite hard kick, pointing directly towards the post near the enemy goal. The goalkeeper who did not expect that the ball could curve so much looked a little panicked. The ball was not perfect and was directed towards my feet. I who had the opportunity to kick was immediately kicked with all my might.
Jebrett. Tang. Too bad, my kick ball just kissed the top crossbar before leaving the field of play. I was very disappointed with my kick ball just now which should be able to bear fruit into a goal if only I could be more calm in executing it.
The sound of the audience's screams is getting louder. They seemed to get more excited after my shot hit the crossbar.
"Ayooo zeal tenhhh sevenhhh," cried the children 10-7 with a bottle.
"Ten members don't want to lose... Ayoos... Ayoo... Ayooo," reply kids 10-9. The atmosphere of this festival feels so good.
Back to the game, now Robi is back in control of the ball. Not as fast and segesit in the first half, Robi now looks to play more relaxed with a tempo that is not too fast. Looks like he has also started to run out of energy, or maybe it is his strategy to play with a slow tempo? I don't know.
Prittt. The referee blew the bunches whistle has been a foul. One of the players from 10-9 was seen falling while fighting over the ball with Tomi. Looks like Tomi used a little bit of his power to push the opposing player to a fall.
Free kick is obtained by children 10-9. The distance from the spot of the offense to our goal is not so far away and is on the right side of our defense. Robi now looks to be in front of the ball. He looked at the goal controlled by Ruben seriously.
We then began to make a posse so that Robi did not easily direct the ball directly towards the goal. Prittt's. Referee blowing free kick sign whistle is already doable. Robi looks back a few steps to do a shift. Jebrett. His kick just hit the posse we made before returning to leave the field.
From the sound produced by the impact of the ball with the body, it can be known how fast and loud the kick belongs to Robi earlier. If only the ball was directly aimed at Ruben's goal, there could have been a goal.
Calvin who was hit by the ball from Robi's kick was also seen grimacing in pain. We have to replace him with another player.
After Ahsan entered the field, the match resumed. There is still about 5 minutes left until the game in the second half is over. Before that happens, I hope our team can score at least one goal so that the game can be won by us.
Jebrett. Ahsan immediately shot the ball into the goal at his first touch. Unfortunately, the shot is still thinly deviated next to the crossbar.
This time, the one who plays the spearhead of our team is Tomi. Because Aji looks still not ready to return to play, it looks like Tomi will play full until the end of the second half. I hope this won't reduce his form in basketball later.
"Oi Lang came here for a while," Ahsan suddenly called out to me.
I immediately approached Ahsan. Judging from his face, it seemed like he was going to talk about something serious.
"What's San?" ask me when I get in front of him.
Ahsan then brought his mouth closer to my left ear. He then whispered a strategy to be able to score at least one goal on goal 10-9. I just nodded in understanding when Ahsan said his strategy. Once, when Ahsan and Aji were still resting on the sidelines earlier, they both made this strategy after seeing the pattern of the game from 10-9.
Ahsan said that our chances of scoring will be wider if we play defensively and rely only on counter-attacks. Looking at the stamina of the 10-9 players who were not as good at half-time, making counter-attacks more effective to apply.
Plus, Robi the 'machine' driving game 10-9 has not been replaced since the start of the match. He also seems to be getting tired now. It can be seen from the look on the face and the tempo of the game is slowing down. If we force a quick counter-attack, maybe they will lose in a sprint and in the end their defensive space will be wide open. If it is like that, the quality of the kick and calmness that will play a role whether it will bear fruit into a goal or not.
I then relayed the strategy to Tomi. Tomi also seemed to understand the strategy just now.
***
The time left is only about 2 minutes. Now, the position of the ball is in corner football in our defensive area. We also keep tight the players who have entered our defense area.
The corner kick is already done by and leads directly to the front area of our goal mouth. Luckily, Ruben can swiftly catch and secure the corner kick ball.
Seeing Ruben managed to get the ball, Tomi then immediately ran fiercely towards the opponent's defense. Reuben who saw Tomi's movement immediately threw the ball towards Tomi.
