Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 41 - United Arab Emirates (4)

The ball rolled out of the field. When the kick-off ball was kicked Nabil Asyura to the Cafiatur.

Then the Cafiatur immediately make a diagonal feed forward. There was already Gilang who ran, but because the ball was so fast and had to go out of the field.

Gilang raised his hand and gave a thumbs up sign that he appreciated the slightly deviated pass.

Ball throw in is done. Rashid throws at Abdul Aziz. There without wasting a chance of formation that had not been properly assembled, immediately Abdul Aziz gave a diagonal pass to the right side of the attack.

Ghaith is waiting in front. He runs and dribbles. Ghaith looked to the left, in the middle of the box there was already Waleed waiting and opening the space.

Ghaith began to stab into the box. Surely Abdillah as the one who controls his movements does not open up space as much as possible.

Abdillah tried sliding tackles, without compromise. However, a fatal mistake occurred, when Ghaith wanted to enter the penalty box, Abdillah sliding tackle even hit Ghaith's feet so hard.

Prit …!

The referee blew the whistle hard. The Indonesian U-17 players began to approach the referee and tried to protest as it was. However, the referee's decision is absolute and inviolable.

It was clearly a violation anyway. Abdillah also received his first yellow card.

UAE players begin to prepare free-kick tactics. Of course also the high-profile Indonesian players began to form a fence of players, this was controlled by Reza himself.

“Swipe to the right!” reza shouted as he waved his hand.

After finishing setting up whatever it was, the referee started blowing the whistle. UAE player named Waleed started to step his foot towards the ball.

Waleed confidently, the inner side of his left foot swung which made the ball soar towards the far post. Reza who saw the groove of the ball slightly revealed a smile.

Reza then stepped back with quick reflexes, then the repulsion of his foot immediately flew him 60 cm from the ground. His hands stretched out quickly to the top to drive the ball towards the far post and was about to enter.

Reza was then able to pull the ball away with his palm. He threw it forward, not thinking if any of his colleagues took the ball. Reza then prepared to return under the crossbar.

From outside the box, a United Arab Emirates player, Abdalla tried to kick the ball. Abdalla by outwitting Iqbal was able to pass him and immediately kick.

Reza certainly wasn't kidding. He confidently did not move from his position because the direction of the ball was right in his direction. Reza then bent both hands until the elbows stuck to the stomach.

When the ball is pointed at him, Reza swiftly hugged the ball and flopped down to secure the ball so that there is no term rebound ball or bounce ball.

The Indonesian U-17 fans breathed a sigh of relief. The United Arab Emirates attack finally came to a halt with Reza tightly hugging the ball and lingering slightly to try to buy time.

“Yosh! Steady!” praise Nabil Asyura who immediately ran forward.

Seeing that, Reza stood up and immediately kicked the ball towards Nabil.

Nabil was certainly a little surprised, but he immediately balanced the bouncing ball in front of him. Without wasting any chance from Reza, Nabil immediately dribbled.

The UAE players are certainly not quite ready yet, but this quick counter-attack instantly shocked all UAE players.

Nabil Asyura then glanced to the left, there was Gilang who made a movement without the ball. Nabil immediately sent a flat ball splitting the heart of the surprised UAE defence.

Gilang then gained the best momentum, with the left leg as the pedestal, the body leaning slightly forward, the right leg swung so firmly. The ball is shot like a cannonball. The UAE goalkeeper, Hamdan, with no-lose reflexes from Reza tried to jump towards the far post.

Hamdan with his posture is quite high and also a long hand able to brush the ball. The ball went out of the field, until the crowd sighed upset because it did not become a goal.

“Waah .. almost aja,” said Gilang a little upset.

The corner kick was done by Narendra. The ball is thrown into the penalty box. There the players aloft began to conduct aerial duels.

Arkhan Kaka is quite high capable of heading the ball. However, due to tight control from UAE players, Arkhan was only able to direct the ball right sideways on the goalpost and did not produce a score.

“Ahay! Arkhan almost scored the third goal for Indonesia!” exclaim Hadi as commentator.

The spectators all over Indonesia as well as those in the stadium let out a long sigh. They for the second time did not see Indonesia score in successive stages.

The image in the house is also quite amazing. She was alone watching, but inside the house felt a lot of people. The image of his own uproar, he screamed in annoyance without realizing it.

“Come! The spirit of friends Reza!” he said calmly as he realized the previous silliness.

Because it's night, so Citra has come home from work and can watch her son through television only. However, his entire office said he would go to Jakarta to watch Indonesia's fourth match against Malaysia later in the last match –After the match against Palestine later.

Citra hopes to meet her son when she gets there. He was also prepared, although it was still a few days away.

***

Back in the match, this time presented a match that is quite high intensity. Both teams attacked each other, but did not produce a score at all.

Moreover, Reza who controls the goal is so slick. He has been able to keep his goal from conceding when a kick is on target from the UAE. Reza is quite happy with his adaptation of the ability of the legendary Russian goalkeeper.

Surely Reza still hopes to be able to take advantage of an ability that is in Lev Yashin itself. As for Messi, he doesn't care much about him.

Messi's own ability that he uses is just his free kick. Reza also understands the system that directly gives Them the Best different generations, but the system is also burdensome and challenges Reza in the adaptation of the ability itself.

The system makes Reza difficult to adapt to the abilities of The Best They, therefore Reza still feels strange with his body that sometimes appears stiffness or ignorance in making movements.

Sometimes Reza almost did a fatal blunder. It was also evident when at the Youth Tournament, Reza made a fatal blunder and produced a score for the opponent. So, Reza with the Asian Cup U-17 Qualifying match will try to continue to adapt to the abilities given the system.

On the field, the referee was currently looking at his watch. Time has shown 85 minutes. Soon normal time will be over. Attacks from both teams continued to happen, making this match look interesting.

Unlike when against Guam, Indonesia presented a game that was quite boring because of the ability that was biased for Guam so they were slaughtered.

Minute by minute keep walking, until it does not feel like it has reached the end of minutes of normal time. On the substitution board on the sidelines, the assistant referee raises the number 3.

That's 3 minutes of extra time. Direct UAE back to pound solid defense of Indonesia U-17.

However, until the game ended, they were always broken in the hands of Reza. Reza always saves his goal from threats.

The second match for Indonesia U-17 in the U-17 Asian Cup Qualifier also ended with a 2-0 win for Indonesia U-17.
