Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 16 - Solutions

“The best solution is that you have to keep practicing. However, each of you're different. There is no rejection.

Well, one by one of you come forward when I call the name.”

Coach Sofyan set his sights on the rest of his foster kids there. He then started calling them one by one.

Name after name is called, formed up to 5 groups.

“Dan ... for exercise group 5, the last one is Reza!”

Reza was joined by Bagus, Haikal, Cipto and Teguh. I don't know what coach Sofyan thought when Reza as a goalkeeper should practice what defenders, midfielders, and attackers do together. That's what he thinks.

“Then ... within that group, I will determine the exercises as you will live. This is the best solution we assembled with the coaching staff.”

Everything suits each group also disperse to go to each group in charge. Group 5 was commanded by trainer Sofyan.

They were taken into the room where they would watch every world class match. Each of their professions must be observed well, Reza got the video of legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin who is still black and white and also some other modern goalkeepers such as Neuer, Courtois or Higuita.

For Good himself he was shown some world-class strikers such as Benzema, Haaland and Kane even up to Edson Arantes Do Nascimento aka Pele, even with black and white recordings.

He was instructed to learn all the best moves from the best centre-forwards. Even small movements must be considered with detail.

Teguh was also ordered to watch some of the best attacking midfielder videos, such as Bruyne, Musiala, or Bruno Fernandes. He has to understand his profession as an attacking midfielder, he has to learn a lot to his experts even though only through video footage.

Haikal, he learned a lot through the video recordings of other world-class defenders. There's Dijk, there's de Ligh, and some of the best centre-backs in the world. He has to understand how important the defender profession is. He must understand when to tackle, how to defend, or whenever to attack fully. That ability must be within him.

Cipto itself was shown video footage of several attacking wing players. He really understands, he will be a winger forward for the future, both on the left and right side. Some winger forwards both left and right include Salah, Sterling, or Neymar at once.

He has to learn how a player acts as a winger. Without a creative and capable winger, the flow of the ball on the right or left side will be stopped even a dead end. Needed a good winger.

In front of Reza's eyes, he saw a goalkeeper jumping with his best posture to save his goal from conceding. In the black and white footage, it shows how great Lev Yashin is under the crossbar of Dinamo Moscow club.

Her skill made Reza's eyes fiery, already a lot of her witnessed the appearance of her inspirational figure. He really hopes to one day be like Lev Yashin, the legendary goalkeeper of the Soviet Union, but of course Reza hopes to become the legendary goalkeeper of Indonesia.

Some of the recordings he replaced, even to the last recording, which is Neuer. He was stunned by Neuer's jump, as a leader under the crossbar, ah no, he thinks he is the leader of the backline. Neuer often advanced even close to the middle circle of the field

“Looks like I have to be confident,” murmured Reza.

The four pairs of eyes also saw the seriousness of Reza. Their spirit is also stirred! With excitement, they learn how valuable each position they live. Without them, football matches would be difficult.

As they were seriously gazing at the recording after recording, knocking on the door rang out and instantly opened it. The five people instantly stared in the same direction simultaneously.

“How? Have you found the best solution?” Riyandi came with a friendly smile.

Her hair was slightly long with her sharp eyes, her tall body with a good posture. Riyandi walked directly towards Reza, without regard for the other four's hostile gazes.

“You ... have taken my first position. Therefore, I would like to request a treat from junior!” Riyandi directly memalak Reza.

“Later, if I receive the first salary,” said Reza so convincing.

For information, they do not immediately just continue to compete and practice. All the club members, be it a football club, or any other sports club, they will be paid to their ability once a week.

“Yeah ...” Riyandi just resigned.

“You better get out, Riyan! Don't bother us!” It was good to loudly directly bully Riyandi.

“Tch! Stupid fuck! I want to see the solution you find later!” Riyandi stuck his tongue out at Bagus.

“Tak no use, we were just told to watch a world-class player who was in our position. So ... better you go, bully!” Good to raise his tone.

“No. We'll both graduate soon, no, rather soon be quitting club activities. We need to focus on the final exam, so .. the solution you've created in your little brain, should be able to be visualized by your juniors.

Yes .... juniors must also be able to find the best solution. I heard, the match against SMA Jaya Bangsa will be our first match, therefore we have to find a solution together.”

“Your words are convoluted. The point should be to find a solution in the team match.” Good to go back to Riyandi.

Riyandi with an annoyed grunt went straight away before slamming the door hard.

“If it breaks you change!!!” It was good to scream so loudly, his voice echoing in the room.

...……...

On the field, some groups are doing exercises meant for them. Group 1 was practicing short passes quickly and precisely, without wasting time.

Group 2 practiced by doing dribble past the exercise cone. The drill looks trivial, but with dribble practice, their ball possession class will improve and also more productive attacks going forward.

Group 3 practiced his way of taking measured kicks. A circle is placed hanging on the crossbar, they are required to kick the ball to put it into the hole of the circle.

Group 4 alone exercises stamina by running around the field several times.

Later, each group will exchange material to make their understanding wider. Coach Sofyan and the staff deliberately grouped them to make it easy to coordinate the movements of each player.

On the sidelines, coach Sofyan spoke with assistant coach Berto. His tall body with his black skin made people think that he was a black man of African origin. Make no mistake, he is a native of Indonesia!

“Berto, how is the progress this time?” Coach Sofyan tried to ask her opinion.

“Not yet visible. There is not much time in school. Two more hours of training should be done and they'll be back in class, at least we should rest them an hour early.

So ... In these school subjects, we are still less productive. We better still take the hours after school. Go home at 03:00, then we can have them practice until 06:00 pm even night.”

“Yes, it should be. Children also have a week to do it with routine. But ... what I asked was not that, which I asked how the results during the week?” Coach Sofyan's mouth twitched because Berto mis-caught his point.

“Ah! That's yeah .. I think it's pretty good. To see their best performance, we wait for the game against SMA Jaya Bangsa.”

“It's still a long time, coach Berto!”

“Not long, Sofyan. Not long ...” Coach Berto looked up at the sky with his adorable gaze.

Coach Sofyan was silent. In the depths of his heart did state that the fight would come immediately without his presence being felt.
