Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 157 - Indonesia Vs. French (1)

The day awaited by all Indonesians and the world, they are waiting for the quarter-final which determines whether the 2022 World Cup runners-up can beat this strong new team.

Indonesia still packed a 3-4-3 attacking formation with a back line filled by Haikal, Ferrari, and also Arhan.

All three are plotted as a defender who is ready to die, or arguably a defender who is ready to get a red card reward when Reza attacks, but the ball is released, then the three of them will be a substitute goalkeeper for Reza.

The midfield is filled by Marselino as an attacking midfielder who must be creative in the midfield, then still with Robi as a defensive midfielder who must cut all the flow of French attack.

On the right side, there is Kwateh who plays more into the wing midfielders, with his speed he is required to be a second danger after the attackers. On the left side, Todd Ferre plotted as a water-carrying midfielder, box to box that can go back and forth to help attack and defense.

In front, with another change, as the spearhead there is I Nyoman who must be able to replace the role of Hokky or Sananta, as well as Sananta, then on the right side there is Fajar who is back playing and Samir on the left side helping the attack.

The long-awaited match began, in which the kick-off ball was held by France, from Mbappe, he gave the ball back where the French midfielder controlled the ball, Camavinga.

Camavinga scanned the area, until he gritted his forehead, Indonesia formation is very tight, very solid and very difficult to penetrate with breakthrough passes.

However, one thing is clear, the air duel for Indonesia is a difficult thing, finally, Camavinga gave a parabolic pass that made Coach Tae-yong bite his lower lip in annoyance.

The French were able to see the weakness of the Indonesian players who would lose high if the air duel, the ball from Camavinga parabolic pass was taken by Dembele on the right side of the attack.

“Awas, left side, Dembele again hot-hot! Air duel, no, the speed is also steady!” exclaim Reza while pointing.

Haikal who is a defender with a large enough body and firmly immediately tried to control the movement of Dembele, although with that body, Haikal can move agile as well.

As a result, Dembele struggled, for some reason the class of European players began to fall in front of the Indonesian players, it felt like they were really in the shadow of the beak and sharp claws of Garuda.

The fear must be there, because after all, Indonesia is the first team in the modern world cup, and comes as a nightmare for most teams, so their abilities are hampered by these concerns.

Dembele who was good enough at Barca felt weak in front of Haikal, but he was inexhaustible, Dembele immediately tricked and immediately catapulted the ball into the penalty box.

Parabolic balls occur, Ferrari tried to duel with Mbappe who has advanced forward, there are also some French players such as Coman and Fofana.

The other French players are also attacking, but still leave many players in defence, one thing for sure, they have learned a lot about how good Indonesia is in a game.

“Oh, they already know, yes, the counter-attacking technique relies on speed, and then put the defenders or speed-type midfielders behind,” Reza murmured.

The parabolic ball was obtained by Mbappe with his chest, dueling with Ferrari, Mbappe like a tough man and out of the care of Ferrari.

With a position that almost fell, Mbappe tried to kick the ball, it was a weak kick that clearly did not harm the goal because Reza had already flown his body to the top left corner of the goal.

Reza got it, then he immediately stood up and ran to the edge of the box, but a strange feeling ensued.

From his eyes, Reza saw clearly how Frederic worked to organize his comrades in defense, Frederic really resembles him who since his debut he used to do.

“Sial, is he one of the system users? Actually ... There was something strange about his debut back then, he was also able to score his debut goal and save a lot of kicks,” muttered Reza.

“Reza, here is empty!” marselino shouted from the middle of the field while raising her hand.

“Good!” exciting Reza.

Reza also catapulted the ball right in front of Marselino which at that time accelerated, in an instant, Marselino was able to pass a French player.

“Do a quick transition, or–” Want to try to communicate, Reza can only be neglected. “What is possible?!”

Three French players went straight to Marselino, from his eyes only he had seen Frederic had pointed first to Marselino to look after him.

“Dia .. It's good, it's just sinking because of me, okay, it's a obviously fierce match!” reza Gumam.

Marselino also had to resign when doing a physical duel with three French players, obviously the defeat came to him and the ball was seized by the French players.

In this process, the French also went straight forward attacking without waiting for the Indonesian players to realize they had lost the ball.

“The middle is completely empty, beware, Robi!” peekik Reza's.

Even so, his screams drowned in the tens of thousands of supporters who continued to shout and sing very loudly, as a result Reza's voice was really muffled well.

“Akh, really, yes!” This time Reza had a hard time.

The class of French players who had previously looked a bit low, now shot up after the direction after the direction of goalkeeper Frederic.

“You want to play seoerti it, yes?” reza Gumam.

The ball held by Dembele on the right side of the attack or the left side of the defense of the Indonesian team, trying to make a trick move to Haikal who came to him.

“Haikal, back off, don't equal him!” shout Reza.

Although only sounding faint, Haikal was still very sharp about hearing, as a result he took off his guard from Dembele, and immediately Reza told Todd Ferre to retreat to help the attack.

“Good, with this quite solid defense transition formation,” muttered Reza while circulating his gaze.

This time, the tactical awareness and vision of the game will soon be tested, all the French attack and also the defense is clearly controlled only by one person, namely Frederic.

“Kiper is obviously terrible, well, I will also challenge you!”

In the middle, Reza who saw it was a bit empty immediately shifted Robi and Haikal to a little forward, it was done for the sake of making alternative movements in guarding.

With all that, Reza hopes his formation and also his direction are able to withstand the wave of attacks arranged by Frederic with the coach of the French national team.

“OK, now fifteen minutes, France is clearly playing open,” muttered Reza while staring at the digital screen in the stadium. “Defend no use, it should be.”
