Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 27 - The Second Game!

Reza was already on the pitch and was getting ready to listen to whatever the coaches were telling him. He was also ready to do small exercises within an hour until he returned to class.

The scorching sun really pierced the skin. Reza took temporary shelter while waiting for some of his colleagues to start arriving. The coaches have also ordered for all members to immediately go to the tactics room.

Reza and his colleagues went to the tactics room. When they arrived at the tactics room, the cold atmosphere instantly made them feel cool. The air conditioned room is really comfortable.

The tactics room itself consists of long chairs for club members, then there are several cabinets lined up on the right and left sides. A large tactical board was right in front of everyone.

There coach Sofyan is setting magnetic pins on the tactics board. Under the pin is a name.

Everyone sat down, while waiting for coach Sofyan to continue stringing magnetic pins until a 3-4-3 formation intertwined.

“Alright, for the first time as usual. The tactics that will be used are short passes. This formation supports doing that.

Then ... there are some changes in player turnover. As Amin replaced Adi Satria. There is also in the midfield Jaka replaced by Angga Pratama who as a box-to-box midfielder!

Well ... we try to rotate players. So I want to see your tactical understanding to what extent when your previous comrades did not exist and were replaced. Good to be replaced by David Maulana!

For the rest is still the same as during the friendly match against SMKN 2!

Understood?!”

“Understanding, coach!”

Coach Sofyan swept his eyes across the room. He looked at one after another of his foster children with sharp gazes.

He walked towards Reza. There, all pairs of eyes were staring at the two. Coach Sofyan who is so tall is clearly visible to Reza while sitting down.

Reza stood up and tried to stare directly into the eyes of coach Sofyan without any trepidation.

“You will make me a free kick executor!”

Coach Sofyan really believes how magical Reza's free-kick is. Although he was not yet able to see the miracle, but the shadow on his future was clearly visible.

The goalkeeper who is able to keep the goal from conceding, then the goalkeeper who will be a frightening specter when a free kick occurs!

“Siap, coach!” Reza loudly voiced it.

“Good, but don't forget! You also have to guard your goal.”

The coach then went back to the front, he was standing next to the tactics board. He again tried to explain everything about the tactics of the 3-4-3 formation.

Movements to be made to be so creative. Do not forget also some things he did not tell and his foster children will find the answer.

Half an hour passed, everything dispersed and returned to class. Training in the field will be postponed later in the afternoon.

***

Day after day Reza and his colleagues were training. They still continue to exercise in the gym to strengthen the body. Reza himself was the one who felt the most impact.

Within a week, his body rose by 2 centimeters. Then some curves in parts of his body began to fill with tight muscles, although not too visible to the eye, but what Reza felt on his body is different. Reza felt her body getting stronger.

The second match of the Youth Tournament came. The Hope High School team that is in third position must go to SMAN 1.

SMAN 1 itself won the inaugural match by entering 2 goals without reply at that time.

Now, for the sake of rising to the top of the standings, the Hope High School must win. No, indeed they are required to win and bulldoze all matches with a win. The target of coach Sofyan who is so big is followed by his foster children with enthusiasm.

Return to High School Hope who will visit SMAN 1 Palu headquarters. After a 15-minute bus ride, Reza and his friends arrived.

The small stadium with a capacity of 1,000 people began to be crowded with several hundred spectators. Although it looks like only a match between schools, but that's the prestige in every audience.

“Alright, the time before kick-off is still 30 minutes. You guys get ready and warm up!” Coach Sofyan, who was still on the bus, said to his foster children.

Then after coach Sofyan got off the bus, all of his foster children began to get off one by one. They also immediately saw on the field, their opponents were warming up and preparing early because it was the home team's advantage.

Reza and his friends also headed to the dressing room to make a change of uniforms. There, their away uniforms were used. Previously the home uniform was red with diagonal gold stripes in front of the chest, now the away uniform has a golden color with vertical red stripes filling the front.

Reza himself wears a goalkeeper away uniform that is red with yellow rhombus pattern on the bottom of the shirt. Now he's for the away game dubbed the Red Spider.

Minute by minute, the warm-up is done, the tactics are again explained so as not to be forgotten. And the second match at the Youth Tournament is about to begin.

Both teams entered the field accompanied by 3 referees who will control the course of the match.

They lined up and the applause of everyone was heard. After marching, they are required to shake hands before the game.

The referee called the captain of both teams. In the Hope High School team there is a new captain, Reza! He was entrusted as the leader of his comrades.

While from the SMAN 1 team there was a young man who was big. His face looked fierce at such a young age.

This player has the number 4 and plays as a defender. His name is Adrian.

Great wall from SMAN 1! He is a senior player, because he is in the 12th grade and next year is his graduation day.

“Well, you side the blue with the Youth Tournament emblem, then you side the yellow with the OSIS symbol!” Referees named Reza as the blue side and Adrian the yellow side.

The coin tos is done, the coin rotates in the air for a while before the referee lets the coin fall on the grass. Reza and Adrian look, the yellow side that appears is at the top.

The referee took the coin and questioned Adrian.

“Which side of the field?”

Adrian pointed to the right side of the field. Finally the team that did the kick off first was the Hope High School due to the choice of Adrian who took the right side of the field.

Reza and Adrian take a picture with the referee first. Then they went straight to their respective positions.

The ball is now in the middle of the field, there David is ready to kick off.

The referee looked at the watch in his hand, the whistle was ready in his mouth. Moments later, the referee blew his whistle the kick off sign immediately began.

David immediately pulled back. There, there was Teguh who received it while continuing to do field scans that he had to do as a playmaker.

The second match of Harapan High School at the Youth Tournament also began.
