Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 06 - The Final Test Completed

The ball is rolling on the left side of the field. After kick-off, the U-16 team immediately make a gastric pass, but the ball must end up rolling out of the field.

The ball was taken by Haikal, he made a fairly far throw on the right side of the U-16 national team defense. Firmly getting the ball, he looked to his right side, there was Angga who made a deceptive movement.

Of course Teguh did not really understand what movement Angga meant, Teguh just tried to feed the area in front of Angga. However, Angga just died a step and looked at Teguh a little annoyed.

He raised his hand as a sign of apology. The ball is now controlled by the U-16 national team, they are from foot to foot creating dangerous opportunities on the left side of the New Team defense. Through a hull pass from Abdillah, Kaka gets a pretty ball.

He dribbles by playing the ball at his feet, trying to outwit Arkhan Renaldy, but with good observation, the ball is broken and rolled off the field.

The inward throw was made quickly by Kaka and gave to Abdillah, Abdillah with a lap of his body made it past Haikal who escorted him.

Abdillah, a defender, overlapped into the penalty area. With her right foot, she created a beautiful diagonal pass and was immediately greeted with a header by Ashura.

The ball goes to the top corner of the goal. However, a wide outstretched hand brushed off the ball that was about to enter. The hand belonged to Reza Kusuma, with his reflex movements, the ball was successfully driven to produce a corner kick.

The resounding rescue from Reza made spontaneity happen, namely the applause of the entire audience.

“Fyuuh .. You made me tense,” Haikal said in a joking tone.

“Crossed by lap technique? Cih, Magu–”

Prits!

The corner kick has been thrown, Reza's words stopped and refocused on the ball. With the decision he had to have in a split second, he came out of the goalkeeping area and was about to punch the ball into Rizky's head.

The ball is punched forward making a sigh of relief from the spectators. However, what they do not think, a player from behind volleyed when the ball is still a few centimeters above the ground.

The ball forms a beautiful bow, which looks to be sideways on the left side of the goal, then appears to turn into an empty goal area without guard.

The surugg!

The ball enters with peace until it rubs against the net. Everyone fell silent, the sudden kick stunned everyone for a moment before a shout of praise was thrown at the kicker, Iqbal, a defender.

“Wooooo!”

Reza could only smile. That kick completely broke his hopes for a clean sheet in this last test match.

Score draw, 1-1. With this, dimenit 50, the U-16 national team catch up.

“The kick was amazing!” Reza shouted to Iqbal who was greeted by a thumbs up.

Reza now understands how scary the U-16 national team is now. Every player has a good finish, especially in the class of defenders are also able to talk a lot in scoring a goal.

The match started again. The ball keeps rolling every minute, with no team trying to give up. Even the U-16 national team is increasingly intensive to apply pressure to disrupt the new team in the ball.

Undeniably, the result of their heavy pressure, Angga lost the ball and a counter-attack was immediately launched. Asyura who did the stolen ball feed to Kaka, then from the left side he raised the ball towards the head of Ashura who was preparing to jump.

The ball was headed by Ashura, a header that looked less than perfect managed to be countered easily by Reza. He just plucked the ball in the air, the header was devoid of energy.

“Straight!!!” Reza kicked the ball quickly.

The ball bounces and reaches Teguh's feet, but unfortunately imperfect control keeps the ball just off the field. Steady looking back while raising his thumb.

............

Minute by minute, there was nothing special in the rest of the game, until a long whistle sounded the referee as a sign the last test match had ended with a 1-1 draw.

Among the right targets, there are 1 each that goes into the goal. For ball possession is more dominant U-16 national team with 53%.

Really the last test match that one side of the school feel proud, because in the early years Riyandi entered this school, he with his force had to fight the U-16 national team as well and slaughtered with a score of 6-3.

And for now, they can hold the U-16 national team's power draw which is somewhat above the quality of the generation of Riyandi and his friends. Not separated from the development of interest of each child as well, the more interest, then their training is more serious.

............

That day, the inauguration of a new member of Harapan High School football club was held, with special guests, coach Bima and his students. They certainly with strong relations from High School Hope can be invited.

The planting of the successor goalkeeper mark was carried out by Riyandi. He gave a black glove with white stripes to Reza. The gloves also looked worn.

“This glove was used since fifteen years ago, the generation of each generation uses this. However, you can not use it and just display it as a form of appreciation.”

Reza nodded his head as Riyandi finished his speech. Reza is now really flattered, goalkeeper gloves since the early generation, generation 10 years ago when the new Harapan High School football club was founded.

Embedding of the new member mark is completed, the last test has also been completed. All are welcome to do their own activities in each sports club.

Reza himself is walking lightly to his class which he will wear on Monday, 3 days from now. Reza wants to see, how the class will be.

When he arrived, there had been coach Bima was staring out the window while putting his hands in his right and left pockets.

“Finally you came, Reza,” coach Bima said as he turned around.

A mysterious smile was clearly painted on her face, the feeling of Reza instantly feeling a chill run through her skin.

“Your rescue during my kick, it was you deliberately yaa not brushed it off in full?”

The words clearly made Reza gasp. It's true, Reza didn't shake him completely because he could feel the power of the kick. If he brushed off with his usual goalie gloves, it would be less dampening the power of his kicks.

The possibility of injury is very high. It was just a test, but the power of the kick was not playful. Reza just smiled clumsyly while scratching his head.

“It. I hope you can come, our main goalkeeper again is not healthy.” A letter was pinned in Reza's uniform pocket.

Afterwards, coach Bima left just like that leaving Reza who was silent staring out the window. The sun began to sink behind the towering building and left only the orange gradation.

“It's too fast,” muttered Reza slightly vibrated.

He knew what was in the envelope in his pocket.

“But ... His trust should I finish!”

Reza eagerly opened the envelope, inside there is a piece of invitation paper in U-16 national team training in preparation for the U-17 Asian Cup 2023 qualification to be held in Jakarta, and the host of the U-17 Asian Cup itself is in Uzbekistan.

“Why did I enter this school? Why not just go to the academy?”

The stupid question Reza had just issued made her little heart laugh a little. He feels very funny. Wh why? Because his mother's efforts in finding him a school should not be wasted.

“Oh, yes! He said there was a gift if I attract attention, this attracts the attention of coach Bima loh!”

...[.The gift is given to the Host!]...

...[.Lionel M. Attribute Card obtained!]...
