After the match against Malaysia. Coach Bima again invited Iqbal and also Reza to conduct a post-match press conference.
Reza is actually lazy to do a press conference. However, unfortunately he is Man of The Match (MoTM) this time around. It is mandatory to attend a press conference.
Reza had to follow him. Arriving at the conference room, dozens of camera lights started flickering as the three entered the press conference room.
This time the press conference room was a little more crowded and crowded. It seems that many private media are just coming in to cover the press conference. They certainly do not want to be left behind the latest and hottest news.
Reza Kusuma's. An Indonesian U-17 goalkeeper became a top scorer and MoTM was first in the official match. Previously Reza actually had the opportunity to get a MoTM in the last three games. However, the performance of one of his team-mates who got it.
Reza himself can only resigned when dozens of times the camera light flickering to photograph it, Iqbal and also coach Bima.
The three of them sat on the chairs that had been provided. Coach Bima instantly raised his right hand in silence. He wanted to immediately stop the debate and commotion among the reporters.
“Good, looks like I won't linger. Only two questions this time. We will soon return to Jakarta to continue the remaining Training Centering.”
After coach Bima said his last sentence, dozens of reporters immediately raised their hands in unison and scrambled each other. The atmosphere is increasingly not conducive let alone someone who screams annoyed and arguing.
“Hey, can you keep quiet?!” Reza became so upset that she shouted out loud.
“Sorry if I'm not polite. However, you guys are too childish. Scramble to ask each other, huft!” continued Reza while covering his face and shaking lightly.
The whole room was silent. Even Bima's coach and Iqbal were a little surprised that Reza was so bold as to bully the reporters. He could have bad karma. The reporters can make a rumor to Reza that Reza's nature is very bad.
Coach Bima who was about to touch Reza's shoulder was stopped by a journalist who raised his hand for the first time since they fell silent.
“Haa .. alright. Please you from TVOne!”
Given the opportunity, the journalist immediately stared at the small notebook in his hand to give the impression or question to the three people in front.
“Ah .. alright. I'll ask Reza Kusuma. What's the next plan after this?”
Quite a logical question, short, solid and clear. Moreover, Reza is also still a student and also a member of the main squad of the High School Hope Youth Tournament team.
Reza briefly tapped the voice challenger in front of him then said, “My plan in the future is ..”
Reza smiled mysteriously. He hung up his sentence which made the hearts of the reporters beat fast. They were waiting for what Reza said.
“Pending offer. While waiting for an offer, I will remain in Palu and as the core squad of High School Hope in Youth Tournament!” continued Reza who like slamming everyone's chest.
They didn't think Reza would say that. After all, rumors of an offer against him started to appear. So Reza directly opened the opportunity for a transfer offer on him.
According to the Indonesian football federation. The players competing in the Youth Tournament had market value. The better the performance, the market value will increase and make of course the Indonesian Premier League or Indonesian Super League will be interested.
Indonesian Super League clubs or any club must pay the market value as a transfer to the school. Of course, the decision is also in the hands of players who compete in the Youth Tournament.
Back in the conference room. This time the reporters whispered to each other. They got some important news this time. Seeing that no one else wanted to ask, coach Bima wanted to immediately end the press conference this time.
He also has an agenda for his children. He wants to make his kids happier. He wanted to give them a free holiday.
Both of them nodded lightly. When coach Bima wanted to say the closing words, a journalist raised his hand again to ask or just give his own impression for the Indonesian U-17 team.
“Oke, last time. From TVRI.”
“Thank you for giving me the chance. Well, I from TVRI will ask for a moment.
If player Reza Kusuma opens the opportunity for a transfer offer. Do you think an overseas club is interested in you?
Moreover, the brilliant performance you have done. Great opportunity for overseas clubs interested you quite big, right?”
Reza was silent for a moment while thinking. After all, the Asian Cup U-17 2023 Qualification is something quite big too. Big countries like Japan and Iran have a great opportunity to lift the trophy.
So Reza thinks there must be scouts or spies of foreign clubs and also domestic clubs looking at the appearance of every player in all teams. They will definitely spy on the performance of an individual and immediately send a report to the club.
If the club is interested, then just staying in touch with each other is the way. The two sides will communicate with each other in forming a mutual agreement.
After thinking, Reza looked at the reporter with a grinning smile. Who would not want to go to one of the overseas clubs, let alone their good and competent league.
“I think there is a great opportunity for me to be interested in overseas clubs. So .. wait for the next news. The important thing is that I have opened up transfer opportunities,” said Reza who finally made this one of the most important news in football.
After that, the press conference was over. Indonesian U-17 players have also left for Jakarta again with escorted by patrol police.
A long wait, they finally arrived. They were allowed to rest first and were directed to gather in neat clothes the next day.
***
The next day, the very bright weather was so similar to the look of a happy and bright face for the Indonesian U-17 players.
Everyone is really happy. They wear nice clothes. Shirt shirts and also cloth trousers.
These neat outfits are also on the list that they should be under from each of their residences. I don't know what to do, but they still bring it.
Until today they wear it.
Coach Bima then came. With a happy smile, he called out very pleasant words.
“I'll give you a free vacation. Please go anywhere, I allow it!
Surely you two should be each group. I was a little hesitant to take off everyone alone so it would be me for the group. Per group consists of two people!”
The players jumped in excitement. Childishness still exists. Although adults in the field, they are not separated from the age of 16 years.
After the group division is complete. Reza with Gilang will be adventuring in Jakarta together.
“Gilang, accompany me to the hotel where mom and her colleagues are. My mother came to Jakarta and will be home October 12.”
Calling yourself no problem. So he'll be accompanying Reza for a while. Well, after Reza was accompanied then his turn accompanied Gilang.
