Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 11 - The Deadly Kick

Reza called out loudly while jumping the sign he was really happy to guess even brushed off I Nyoman's penalty kick. This time, he was actually staring coldly at I Nyoman.

Inside the two of them, there was a great feud, but no one could realize it. Behind the frustration and pleasure of the two, coach Sofyan secretly laughed as he closed his mouth.

He is very happy with the new boy's performance, he just realized how best Reza was under the crossbar. However, he wanted to see more clearly Reza behind the dead ball!

The game goes so hard, attacks from each of the two sides can always be broken even by the midfield though. There was no fierce fight between the two sides before the 34th minute.

In that minute, the Hope High School built an attack from below. Haikal passed to Amin, then Amin dribbled a little until it approached the center circle of the field. There he was soon approached by I Nyoman and one more player. Amin quickly lured to the left side.

There, Danar accepted it well, with a little bit of a trick, he made it past the player who confronted him and overlapped.

However, the barrier from the opposing defenders came, he immediately gave a pass to Jaka which was passed to Teguh. Jaka and Teguh did a beautiful one-two pass making the midfield SMKN 2 a little messy.

The third ball was well received by Jaka who then gave a little ginger effect to Ilman with a kick from outside the penalty box. Ilman also had to pull the ball and edge it towards Good!

The rebound ball in the penalty box makes a mess of things. It was good to carefully place the ball flat past the bewildered Ilman.

The goal was created from a slow attack, but it was pierced by the Hope High School!

Everyone did a small celebration in the corner of the field before returning to their initial formation, of course this goal opened all the eyes of the audience how slick the game from both teams, he said, but who does not focus first must take the ball from inside the goal.

It was evident when the game was boring for both teams, but when the Hope High School raised the intensity and SMKN 2 was not really ready, they lost focus and had to concede.

This good momentum must be well sustained by Reza and his friends so that a friendly match risking the self-esteem of a team can be resolved wisely.

The match resumed, but until halftime nothing special happened. Reza and his friends had a bit of fun in the dressing room, but when coach Sofyan came in, it was cold for a while.

“Despite the lucky goal earlier, you all played badly! Our chemistry is not yet on!” Coach Sofyan immediately gave a heart-pounding statement.

Accompanied by assistant coach Berto, coach Sofyan again explained the tactics they had to improve in the second half.

“The player you should be aware of is I Nyoman, number 7, then there is Reno player number 10, attacking midfielder kind of future KDB.” Coach Sofyan's confession was blatant.

It makes the dressing room atmosphere a little gloomy which should be for the superior team in the first half should be a little relieved. It's even grim and a little heavy.

“For a brilliant performance player in one, only four people. There was Reza, then Bagus, and Jaka and Teguh.

They continue to work hard in the flow of the ball, except Reza who still touches the level of the goalkeeper of old who is only under the crossbar. Go ahead like Lev Yashin, go on like Neuer!

For everything, improve your performance! I will treat the hens after the game if the performance of this team improves until the end of the second half!

Understood all?!”

“Understand, coach!!!” Simultaneously all players.

They also came out of the dressing room with a fiery, lose-lose SMKN 2 team who get a measure of motivation from their coach, Maximus. The SMKN 2 team was also quite excited, but the Hope High School team was again excited again.

However, the intensity is getting higher, the impasse is increasingly visible due to the game is too fast and the coordination of each team is fairly lacking.

After 65 minutes, coach Sofyan saw the deadlock go on, replacing Auff with David Maulana to add to his team's attacking power.

Not to be outdone, coach Maximus also replaced winger, Rama, with a player who was more inclined in body strength than speed. He wants to strengthen the front line, rather than dribble-dribble to and fro with speed, he chooses to keep the ball and multiply the chances from the front wing.

Reza was increasingly vigilant when the winger with a slightly large body entered. He really remembered the time at Bina Karya Junior High, where the winger against his team tore the defense with his big body.

The game looked boring, even Reza after halftime there were no saves. He even advanced to approach the middle circle of the field like Neuer.

He helped build an attack with a slick ball, even he tricked I Nyoman with his nutmeg technique, which is passing the ball between the legs of the player. The laughing stock of the crowd was heard when a goalkeeper dared to show such skill in front of the attacker.

However, Reza's action is not over yet, when a foul is right in front of the SMKN 2 penalty box. The offense when Teguh tried to rotate the body facing the goal when he turned his back on the goal, the opposing defender deliberately stopped him by scuttling Teguh's move.

The offense made Reza forward by running towards Bagus who was preparing to take a free kick.

Reza with serious eyes said, “Kak Nice! I want to take this.”

Good who was confused looked at coach Sofyan on the sidelines. The coach seemed to nod his head in a sign that Good could give the free kick to Reza.

It was good to give the ball to Reza. He even said in a serious tone.

“If it does not produce opportunities, the treaty does not come, even you have to treat me!”

Reza's lips twitched in annoyance. His words were easily reversed by Bagus.

Reza also put the ball where the offense occurred. The living fence is 9 meters away and looks high. Reza had to weigh the power of his kicks and curves in order to get through the fence.

He walked backwards by preparing his left foot. Ilman as a goalkeeper feels free kick this time will be very dangerous, his gut feeling said like that.

The whistle sounds a sign of the free kick ball being launched.

Reza ran small towards the ball, the right footstool was strengthened near the ball, the body leaned to the front side, the left foot was swung as hard as he did.

The inner leg hit the ball which made it dart past the jumping living fence. The ball dives sharply into the top corner of the goal, forming a beautiful curve that spoils the eye.

The ball swooped quickly which made Ilman consciously dead step, he thought the ball was going to come out, but the sharp curve made the ball was about to go into the goal. He first dies a step and only sees the ball go into his net with ease.

The audience cheered Reza's deadly kick.

2-0. Scores created that make Reza scream happy, this time he hopes to be used as a person who executes free kick so that he is also able to record his name on the scoreboard.

Goalkeeper who keeps his goal from conceding while breaking the opponent's goal!
