Days later, until October 15th. The Training Center for Asian Cup Qualification U-17 2023 officially ended with happiness because Indonesia U-17 passed to the finals.

This makes next year's title equipped by Indonesia U-17 later in the Asian Cup U-17 2023, Indonesia U-20 National Team for the U-20 World Cup 2023 to be held in Indonesia, then the Senior Indonesia National Team will return to the Asian Cup since 13 years ago.

Reza is on the plane. He stared out the window, there were only clouds and the ocean at a glance kept on being seen. Reza had to part ways with Indonesian U-17 teammates to compete again at the Youth Tournament.

Reza got word that since three weeks Reza in Jakarta, his team is still safe. Twice the victory was again achieved, although Riyandi as the senior goalkeeper in the team had to concede three times.

But the Harapan High School team can still achieve a dramatic victory. The first game since Reza left the team, Riyandi had to take the ball twice from his goal. Then a dramatic victory ensued, 3-2 with an epic comeback.

Initially, Hope High School was 2-0 down. At the time of the second half, like possessed by some great players, the Harapan High School team went berserk and scored 3 goals in just 20 minutes. It was on the way to SMAN 20 Luwuk.

Then the second match, SMA Harapan won the match with a score of 2-1. Pretty thin back. However, victory is still achieved. It was while hosting a team from Ampana, Tunas Bangsa High School.

Today is October 15th. So the next day was the third week Reza didn't play at his school club.

High School Hope will fight the team from Poso, namely SMKN 4 Poso and of course High School Hope will entertain them. The match will not be attended by Reza, because he still has to take a break from the effects of air travel and so on.

After all, Reza will look for someone later when he gets to Palu. He will look for an agent for him who is suitable to take care of transfer matters or whatever it is, such as sponsors.

Yeah, Reza's gonna think so far ahead. He would lay out his plans going forward so that as he went through that state, he was ready and visualized everything to deal with whatever the matter was.

“Bryan, yes?” muttered Reza while recalling the agent who offered her as a client and it was the acquaintance of principal Cahyono.

Reza closed his eyes and fell asleep. The sound of snoring passengers beside him does not make him uncomfortable, even like feeling as a sleep conductor for him.

About 2 hours later, Reza's plane arrived at the airport. When landing, a loud shock was experienced by the plane. Not a few people panicked.

The thoughts of the passengers began to float in all bad thoughts. Reza was silent. His silent behavior was inversely proportional to his racing heart.

After the landing conditions began to perfect, the pilot apologized for his negligence in landing the plane. Passengers are busy with their luggage.

Reza then followed the stairs. He breathed in fresh air while touching the ground. He rubbed the ground on both hands like he hadn't touched them in a long time.

“Welcome back, Palu!”

Reza's headed for the airport building. When outside the airport precisely in the parking lot, his mother was waiting on her motorcycle.

The matic motorcycle made Reza smile at her mother. The motorcycle that often died was still used by his mother.

“Welcome, Eca!”

“I–Mother! Don't call so outside!” reply Reza a little pouty.

Both of them were riding motorcycles. When it arrived outside the airport, precisely the road not far from the airport, the motorcycle was dead engine.

“Haa ..lucky there is workshop about one kilometer!”

Both should push the motor up to the nearest workshop.

The image itself just smiled cheerfully. He was like there was no load when the bike was always off.

Imagined with her office work in her bedroom room, Reza is busy telling her school friends that she will be watching the game tomorrow while waiting for a break.

Reza then lay down. He began to dream that he would bring Indonesia to the world stage, lifting the World Cup so magnificent. It is the dream of many children in every country.

Reza stared at the ceiling of his room, the luminous star sticker made it quite a beautiful ceiling situation. Reza counted the stars to sleep.

“Gooool!”

A hard kick from outside the penalty box made Bagus record his name on the scoreboard. The score for the Hope High School was changed to 1-0 at 67 minutes.

Currently Reza is in the main stand to watch friends competing in the Youth Tournament against SMKN 4 Poso. The goal made Reza exclaim happy with other supporters.

Reza himself began to be recognized by many people because he became a new star in the Indonesian U-17 national team.

According to the system that gave the mission to raise the prestige of Reza, the current prestige has been even 10%. It was a pretty quick and consistent achievement.

Moreover, Reza who is constantly hailed because of his brilliant performance in the Asian Cup U-17 2023 Qualifiers.

Returning to Reza, he was currently drinking an isotonic drink. When he put the mouth of the bottle on his mouth, a goal from SMKN 4 Poso in the 70th minute made him choke.

“Lah! Anjir lah!”

His team of friends Reza did not want to just surrender, they continued to attack the defense of SMKN 4 Poso. Firmly getting the ball gives a beautiful breakthrough pass forward.

Good at receiving the ball, he with his full ability kicked the ball using the inner right foot. Goalkeeper from SMKN 4 Poso who has a rather short posture was not to reach a horizontal kick from Bagus.

The second goal for Bagus in the 79th minute made the score again turn superior to SMA Harapan. Reza who saw the process of the goal also exclaimed happily while shouting loudly.

“Mantaaap!”

Reza continued to support his friends until the round was over. At the end of the match, SMA Harapan won dramatically with a score of 2-1.

SMA Harapan continues to top the standings. The eternal cold peak is like starting to feel, especially with a victory that seems impossible for the understanding of the crowd.

17 Times winning streak achieved by SMA Harapan. Their latest generation is really hungry for goals and a good tactical understanding, physical ability also really looks higher than last season.

After that match, Reza approached the players' dressing room, especially the Hope High School dressing room.

When he opened the door, tens of pairs of eyes stared at him intensely. Until that intense gaze turned full of warmth.

“Ah! Our goalkeeper has returned to Palu with a myriad of experience playing in the Indonesian U-17 national team!”

Coach Sofyan first opened his voice, followed by cheers from all the players. They all surrounded Reza and hugged each other so warmly.

Finally, after 3 weeks of not seeing each other and competing and training together, Reza re-assembled with his friends.
