Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 29 - Withdrawal and Violation

The first half was over, all the players started entering the dressing room with various expressions. Some are upset, some are a little frustrated and various kinds of expressions.

Reza himself kept thinking about some things to do in the second half.

While in the dressing room, the players waited for Sofyan's coach to arrive. Some conversation occurred, until the doorknob moved which made them silent.

When the door opened, coach Sofyan and assistant coach Berto came with a small board in their hands. The board is a portable tactical board that is easy to carry.

Coach Sofyan headed for a bigger tactical board. There he looked all over the room to guess the atmosphere that was happening.

“Alright, it looks like our attack continues to break in their backline, especially Adrian. How's solution?” coach Sofyan said in his flat voice.

Everything was silent not trying to answer in the slightest until when coach Sofyan started to open his mouth to speak, a hand was raised upwards.

He who is none other than Reza!

“Plan ‘itu’?” he said a little ambiguously.

“Oh, you seem to be thinking of using ‘itu’? Hmmm .. can,” reply coach Sofyan.

He then wrote down a few words on the tactics board. When he finished writing, simultaneous readings from the players began to be heard.

“Pulling?”

All the 10th graders were a little confused by that term, except for Reza. The 11th and 12th graders were astonished that the coach would wear such an irritating way to the opponent.

“Okey, all senior players understand that. For new players to enter, then adapt!

This plan is a plan that makes the opponent must be upset. Plans that rely on speed and make them make mistakes and create violations!”

All 10th grade are starting to understand. This plan is also used by top teams all over the world, but they do it so naturally and unthinkably.

Reza then stood up. When the entire pair of eyes looked at him, he opened his voice.

“Yup, we rely on David's speed to break through the defense, then whether it's Adrian or other opposing players surely the possibility of a foul will be great.

It was evident when David tried to pass Adrian with a chip ball. Luckily Adrian had kicked the ball out of the field, what if not? Then the offense will happen!

Not only Adrian, surely Kak Danar and Kak Dennis also have speed. Then Auff and also Cipto were clear as well, so the opportunity was getting bigger!”

Reza explained in detail the plan he understood from coach Sofyan. Coach Sofyan himself only nodded lightly while sharing a mysterious smile.

“What about those who are dubbed the most fair play teams? Their offense only amounted to 20 last season from the entire match!” Coach Berto interrupted.

Coach Berto is not without reason trying to interrupt Reza's explanation, he wants to try to see how far Reza understands the Withdrawal plan.

“Look, we can only count on their misfortune?” Reza tilted his head as he himself was a little confused by coach Berto's question.

Coach Berto frowned. Coach Sofyan himself began to hold back the laughter until he couldn't help it.

“Hahaha! That's also the answer I will answer, Berto!”

All the players started smiling. Coach Berto who intends to trap Reza with his questions instead stuck himself with the sentence.

“Alright, break time is a few minutes away. Let's get ready!” Coach Sofyan, who felt everything was in order, completed the 15-minute meeting.

All players come together in a circle, each hand extended forward. Then led by Bagus, all the members of the club exclaimed loudly.

“SMA Hope! Let's play!” simultaneously they all.

***

On the field, both teams had prepared to wait for the referee to blow the whistle. When the referee blew the whistle, the ball was kicked by the forward SMAN 1.

The second half kick-off has begun.

The ball continues to roll at the feet of the opposing players, not trying to attack and just continue to play the ball in their area of power.

The boring game is back. Even some of the spectators started to complain and the yells they kept shouting began to dim like there was no more spirit.

However, when they saw the movement of David in the middle of the field. All eyes began to tremble, it was a search for a fitting position as a pure attacker.

David started to give Teguh a short pass behind him which after him ran and kept running.

Firmly doing field scans, his brain works so hard to visualize all his friends and how they should move.

While doing a scan, without him realizing the ball was seized by the opposing player.

Firmly who realized it turned around and immediately chased the opposing player. From the back there is also a Haikal that runs and immediately glides so fast on the surface of the grass.

Sliding tackles are so risky he does. The ball is touched and out of possession. The opposing player fell.

The referee extended both his hands forward that the match continued. Firmly getting back the ball, then he overlapping while occasionally scanning.

He did not feel half of the opposing field. Opponents who do bus parking tactics just keep waiting for the right time.

Teguh gave a flat pass to the left which Danar welcomed well. Danar started down the side of the field while looking to the right.

Danar also stopped because he was being guarded by two players at once. Danar who saw the space so narrow just back feed to the back.

“Can!”

Firmly get the ball and direct forward hull bait piercing the heart of the opponent's defense. Teguh had seen the gap between the opposing players that he immediately used.

David who saw it also began to run and duel with Adrian.

Adrian did not want to lose, he began to do defense techniques. His so sturdy body began to overwhelm David.

A few seconds later when Adrian wanted to keep the ball away, David had already touched the ball forward and kept the ball away from Adrian's footstool. Adrian immediately kicked David's leg hard because he really had been wrong target!

David and Adrian fall together. The referee blew the whistle that it was a sign of a foul.

He ran towards David who was still grimacing in pain and holding his leg. He also glanced at Adrian who held a similar thing.

The referee called the medics on both teams. After doing a small treatment, Adrian can stand, but in contrast to David who must be stretchered to the edge of the field to get more care.

Adrian was awarded his first yellow card at the Youth Tournament season 2022/2023.

On the sidelines, coach Udin just yelled annoyed. The bottle of drink on the ground he kicked so hard that it hit his own foster children.

“Stupid budget!!”

Meanwhile, coach Sofyan smiled with pride. He also glanced at Reza who was running small towards the point of offense. However, he was a little fond of this plan should make his foster children in pain.

Reza then confidently gets closer to the point of offense because it will be a free-kick executor!

Live fences are prepared by the opposing goalie. As far as 9 meters away from the ball, the living fence was so difficult to break through when viewed with a glance.

However, for Reza he saw a small gap right next to a live fencing player. Space that he will use as his kick path.

The players prepare, Reza himself is behind the ball while continuing to watch his friends who put their hopes on him. The distance between the ball and the goal is 27 meters. It was quite a distance away, but Reza himself was convinced.

The minute also touched the number 67. Therefore they want Reza back to break into the opponent's goal.

Reza prepared, when the referee blew the whistle, Reza immediately ran so fast towards the ball.

His right leg retraced firmly as a pedestal about a few centimeters behind the ball. His left leg is swung gracefully, the body leaning forward sideways like a professional free kick.

The ball suddenly disappeared from the ground, only a few dirt and grass left flying when faced with the pressure of the kick.

Ball bounces low. No one thought, the ball precisely formed an arc past the side of the living fence. The ball firmly targets the bottom corner of the goal.

Stunning falling ball, terrible accuracy, beautiful big arch. All of that was on Reza's free-kick!

The ball falls just before it goes into the goal. The ball bounces that make the goalkeeper misdirected in the placement of a helping hand so that the ball easily passes over the opponent's goalkeeper's hand.

That's the goal that was created from Reza's free-kick!

The rumbling in the stadium instantly broke. The Harapan High School fans who are outnumbered by SMAN 1 fans like getting strong energy to shout beyond the loudness of the opposing team fans.

Reza and his friends did a short celebration in the corner of the field. Reza sat down cross-legged while picking up a book that had been available on the sidelines.

Reza was cross-legged while showing him reading so seriously with the book in front of him.

What Reza doesn't know is that her celebrity will become an iconic one for herself in the future.
