Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 05 - New Team Vs. U-16 national team

The first round's whistle sounded. The ball starts from the foot of Cipto Prakarsa, he kicks the ball backwards. Angga got the ball, he looked right and left.

Afterwards, Angga passes to Auff who is empty on the right side, where Auff is escorted by an opposing player, Narendra shadowing Auff. There he keeps tight Auff's movements.

Finally Auff just gave the ball back to Haikal, Haikal then passed to Angga, then to Teguh who moved forward. Angga do the gastric bait and can be received easily by Teguh.

Teguh did a one-two pass with Ari Dwi before he cut inside and took a shot with the inner right foot. The ball darted off in a beautiful arc, but it could be easily countered by Fathir as the leader under the crossbar.

Fathir kicked the ball forward, a quick counter-attack by the U-16. With one-two passes between players, making the newly formed team a few minutes ago should be difficult.

They are getting closer to the new team's defensive area. Reza ordered the defenders to docked and not empty space.

“Meet! Don't let anything go blank!”

They follow Reza. The space is getting narrower, but the attacker from the U-16 national team took a shot from outside the penalty box. Ashura fired the shot.

Reza jumped and pulled the ball over, resulting in a corner kick. Reza yells annoyed, “Block his kick!”

Within a minute, the U-16 national team had threatened the goal guarded by Reza. This last test match was quite exciting to watch.

The corner kick had been catapulted, an air duel was inevitable. However, Reza swiftly plucked the ball in the air while dropping himself who hugged the ball.

Some time, Reza woke up and kicked the ball forward after seeing there was a movement without the ball owned by Cipto. The ball bounces over the center line, until it reaches the foot of Cipto.

Very good ball control, Cipto overlapping and passing the two central defenders of the national team, now Cipto is really one on one with the goalkeeper. Cipto immediately did a hanging ball kick that made it difficult for Fathir.

The ball hung over Fathir's hand and went into the net. The first goal for the new team surprised anyone. The chemistry between them is not going well, but they are able to show football like professionals.

Break the eggs, score 1-0.

The kick-off starts at the U-16 national team. Asyura passes to Narendra then to Zidan, one by one the players begin to dismantle the midfield of the new team. They disassemble without any sense of burden.

Asyura saw his partner running on the right side of the new team's defense, he hit the ball. However, before the ball reached Rizky's feet, the ball was kicked off the field by Adi Satria.

Throw in done Rizky, the ball he threw into the penalty box. There was chaos, Haikal accidentally kicked the ball into the goal which made Reza have to act.

Reza moved with his amazing reflexes, he jumped up while hovering. Ball he fists out of the field.

“Woe! You almost got an own goal!” Reza came to Haikal, pushing him slowly.

“Ya, sorry. You were radak panic,” said Haikal.

The corner kick happened again, the ball was thrown into the far post which made Reza have to back pull the ball and keep the ball away from the mouth of his goal. Trouble Reza, fall awake.

In total for the last 20 minutes, Reza had to make a rescue 6 times. His total rescue made anyone feel captivated by him.

Reza could only shout under the crossbar due to the continued negligence by his team's defenders. Haikal who is quite good at defending also can not dwell against the skills shown by U-16 national team attackers.

This time the ball is controlled by Arkhan, he overlapping until it crosses the center line. There she is immediately tackled by Rizky who makes her fall, but it is clean.

The ball is taken and the counter-attack occurs. Angga is just passed by with a trick technique. Then the three defenders began to approach Rizky, but Rizky only smiled while giving a beautiful breakthrough bait to Asyura.

“You're hooked!!!” reza shouted blaringly.

Reza was now one on one with Asyura. His ability is at stake here, Rizky advanced while staring at the focus of the foot along with the Asyura ball.

His legs did a strange gesture, it was a trick back. Reza then grabbed the ball immediately before being kicked to his right side, the ball hit his hand and bounced off the field.

“Arrghh! It's so hard to break into you!” exclaimed Ashura annoyed while staring intently at Reza.

The corner kick happened again, and this time it was just a short pass before a cross towards Asyura preparing for a header. Reza jumped alongside Asyura, but Reza's jump was slightly higher than Ashura so he punched the ball away from the penalty area.

Reza's ball was obtained by Haikal and immediately passed far forward to Teguh who ran down the side of the field. Firm running, but of course he was immediately tackled by U-16 national team defender, Abdillah. Toughly falling rolling on the field.

The referee who filled the match presented Abdillah with a yellow card. That loud tackle created a bit of a dispute. The thing is, it's just a test match, but a tackle as hard as that makes Teguh in pain.

“Sorry, I didn't accidentally!” Abdillah extended her hand.

Firmly received his helping hand and they hugged each other as a sign of sportsmanship. The match resumed. Free kick is done by Angga.

He's luring to the back. For the rest of the first-half minutes, the new teams just passed each other to reduce the tempo of the game quickly.

The first half was capped by a temporary lead of the new team, 1-0.

The players enter the dressing room. Inside the new team's dressing room, coach Sofyan was a little stunned at the team's newly formed play before this final test.

“Your games are steady, keep the lead.” That's all coach Sofyan can say.

Coach Sofyan then looked at Reza, he had his own impression of Reza.

Reza who realized he was being stared at by the coach just nodded with a smile.

The 15-minute break is over. The players go into the field, they change the position of the field now. Reza was ready under the crossbar, his gaze heading to Fathir preparing in his own net.

“Can with the ability of this system, I enter the national team?”
