Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 156 - Reunion of the Old Rival and the Reliable Frederic Goalkeeper

One morning blind, a young man was running casually while listening to classical music, the chants of his music were lived so well that it added peace of mind for the listener.

This young man is Reza Kusuma, he was running early in the morning before intensive training from the coaches, the match against Spain was quite consuming stamina, making Reza have to create new stamina in this way.

Running around the training complex, Reza is occasionally accosted by people who happen to also be there, now who do not know Reza, he said, one of the best players in the world is so relaxed in society regardless of status.

Reza tries to live simply, even though he is flooded with money, he is not dark and just use the money with fun, Reza chose to retire from football if it happened, it is a shame.

“Hai, Reza!” A soft voice sounded from behind.

Reza stopped and turned around, then took off his earphones, looking at the man who looked as beautiful as he was with brownish hair and smiling quite kindly.

“Wait .. Wait, you ..”

“Yap, Bagas? Know it? The guy who broke into your net three times in one game!” exclaim that young man who turned out to be Bagas.

“Wah, it feels very~ long ago!” reza said with a smile.

“Old, Reza, it's very .. Long time!”

Both of them also chose to sit on the bench in front of the main gate of the training area, next to the bench there was a beverage machine that was contactless Bagas treat Reza a can of isotonic drinks.

“Nih, you must want something like this,” said Bagas while throwing to Reza.

Reza caught it, Bagas smiled for a moment while leaning on the drink machine, staring at the morning sky that was still quite dark.

“Reuni old enemy, that may be the right word with the current situation,” Bagas said.

“Yes, I still really remember back then, when you hat trick, indeed at that time I was still very cute!” sahut Reza chuckled softly.

Bagas turned his head for a moment to Reza who then he immediately went back down to chugging the drink in his hand, staring at the sky with his own eyes, like many thoughts.

“Now, I'm just a regular student,” said Bagas.

“Oh, come on, Bagas! Ordinary student? You can do what I find hard to do!” sahut Reza stood up and immediately looked at Bagas.

The two pairs they meet, each vibrating with his own convictions, whether it's feeling that life as a student is great or living as a famous athlete.

Both of them were on their own minds, even so, a moment later they laughed simultaneously realizing that what they were doing was too childish.

“Ey, Bro, you're as good as gini how?” ask Bagas.

“Don't give up on the situation, that's what I do, trying to keep fighting whether it's as bad as what you get,” explained Reza with her own eyes.

“So, yes?” Bagas walked for a moment, turning his back to Reza.

Bagas lifted his can of drink high into the air, then exclaimed, “Ezation, July 16 against France, loh!”

After that, Bagas left without waiting for an answer to his call from Reza, even so, loudly Reza shouted so loudly that Bagas himself felt funny.

“Spirits, reach sky-high science, another year bachelor!” shout Reza.

Both have one thing in common, doing everything to achieve the goal they want, the difference is how they do it.

“Bagas, yes? I hope, this old rival can reach the bachelor,” muttered Reza.

“Reza, you should be able to lift the world cup trophy, it was I dreamed of, before .. Crash,” muttered Bagas with tears. “Akh, why this? Sa–I'm crying?!”

Reza who is currently heading to his training ground, still continues to hold the isotonic drink given by Bagas, a feeling of nostalgia is certainly there, what else Bagas is a player who broke into his net for three times at that time.

“But why didn't Bagas continue, huh?” muttered Reza, quite curious why a talent as good as Bagas is not passed on to football. “Ah, never mind, there may be a separate reason that is clearly a personal secret,” he continued.

Reza threw the empty can in the trash, and immediately ran towards his comrades who started to prepare.

“Oke, quickly, I would say, France is not a weak opponent, they are clearly reinforced as well as a phenomenon goalkeeper, he said this goalkeeper as if Reza version two!” obviously Coach Tae-yong.

Reza mentioned also became the attention of his colleagues, making Reza should try to clarify for a moment.

“Frederic, the 19-year-old goalkeeper, has a similar career from the bottom, but he sank into my name, only lately it has been rising and juxtaposed with me, the great goalkeeper I admit is actually despite not having tried,” explained Reza.

A new name, but this has become common when it is known how great this one goalkeeper is, Frederic is believed to be the second Reza.

It is not without a cause, Frederic is able to create acceleration in the evolution of ability, he can be in the main squad at Hotspur since he was 17 years old, it was exactly two years ago.

Yes, one of the most pearls scattered around the world, Reza who debuted with 18-year-old Milan, finally, the two of them began to compare how and who is the best among them. Sometimes Reza is denigrated simply for his slow debut to a club from Europe's top five.

Even so, Reza is often indifferent, after all it has nothing to do with him, he just wants to compete casually with no thoughts of a new great player or whatever.

However, the name Frederic sank by itself a year when he debuted with Hotspur, only lately he was back on the rise after making Hotspur won the English league cup and also the FA Cup.

“Frederic, yes? There should be a strange anomaly, this is too quiet, the system also says nothing,” muttered Reza.

Reza initially thought Frederic was a user of the system, only that the differences in attitude from the system made him undo the intention of making Frederic a user of the system.

That's because the system itself tends to be silent without saying there's a strange anomaly or whatever it is, but on the one hand, Reza is getting curious instead.

Obviously something strange, most likely the system slowly began to show that Reza could not use the system forever at will, he had to look for the strange thing by itself.

“As an unexpected user of the system, I will put it in the list, please system,” Og Reza.

[Okay, Master! Frederic Henry has been included in the list where there is a chance that he is a user of the system!]

“Good, let's try later!”
