Reza's eyes finally closed before with a small movement, he raised his head and shouted out loudly. It was possible that if anyone heard it, they would feel terrified.
“Hahaha! This is not a can!”
Reza turned around and immediately ran away from the classroom. He excitedly ran out of the school yard, some other students are still seen doing activities at school. Reza doesn't care about it, now he just wants to go to his secret place.
...……...
A football stadium whose grass is almost invisible. This field has never been used since the opening of new land for the construction of a new football stadium in the city of Palu and it was completed a year ago and has been used as the home stadium of the club Persipal Palu in the League 2.
He's there training alone, no, training with his goalkeeping system since he was conscious and able to move after leaving the hospital. Here he practiced every day with the blowing wind.
Somehow, he only practiced kicking the ball and also honed his reflexes by catching the ball from his kick that was reflected on the wall. It looked simple, but early on he could barely catch the kick.
This time, Reza intends to train the L attribute card. Messi, the best gift he's got. Messi skill can not be considered one eye even there is only one every few generations, he is the Greatest Of All Time.
However, unknown to Reza, he was followed by someone. A figure who is very curious about Reza's ability as a leader under the crossbar as well as the nickname Reza he had heard, Goalkeeper Failed.
“Yo! Hello Reza!”
Reza who had just picked up the ball was surprised instead of playing. In a very quiet stadium and there was only a potluck of lights left, how not to be surprised.
Reza turned around and looked at Cipto with his friendly smile. Cipto walked slowly closer to Reza, he measured Reza's height by extending his hand equalizing his height.
“Oh, 175 cm, yes? Height also for your age, I am 170 cm.”
“Hemm .. since when?” Without further ado, Reza immediately poked Cipto with questions.
“Since ... You shouted,” Cipto chirps ended his little laugh.
“Bruh ..”.
“Already, why are you here? Doesn't this stadium want to be dismantled tomorrow?”
Reza gasped at the information Cipto gave him. He of course did not trust her too much, but the leaflet that Cipto showed answered his doubts.
Celebes Stadium will be demolished on Saturday, June 4, 2022.
Such is the leaflet shown by Cipto that he did not know where.
“Only any time, exercise.”
“Huh? A drill? By himself? Who kicked the ball?” Cipto's understanding stuck to Reza's work as a goalkeeper.
“Wall.”
Reza put the ball on the ground and kicked it against the wall. Then the reflection of the ball was captured easily by Reza. After that small example, Cipto nodded his head.
“I can help?”
“We also ..!” A clamor rang out from the stadium hallway.
“Hadeh ... You guys are stalkers!” Reza is certainly upset, but they are now team-mates.
Finally the match 5 vs 5 occurred, as if it was a futsal match, because only a quarter of the field used in the small match.
“I'm forward!” Reza thinks Messi's skills will be understood soon after he uses them shortly before this small game.
The development of Reza's own status is very rapid after getting the ability belonging to Messi. Somehow people's assessment of the brightest stars that will soon be born into the world of footballers.

Reza is now a monster. That is all the narrator can say. Somehow the narrator created the monster man. However, obstacles will exist and will never disappear in the future.
...……...
Reza carried the ball with a trick of the foot that created a body round outwitting the opponent, he dazzled everyone. A goalkeeper can do that? Genius.
“Woy! What are you doing there?!” Flashlight with LED lights increasingly highlights the young people who are engrossed in playing the ball at their feet.
“Go to you!” It was a security guard who was tasked with guarding the Celebes stadium until demolition was held.
“Hahaha! Run all!” Reza immediately took the horses and first left his comrades.
“Woy! You traitorous friend!”
Finally all the young men left the ball taken by the security guard.
“It's been a while, since I didn't hold the ball. It feels nostalgic,” muttered the security guard named Udin.
The incident that night made the young people only jokingly enter the city park. There they celebrated their success in school with a famous football club in the Indonesian League Youth.
Until the night is getting late, which should be young people their age are already at home, they now just want to go home after 8 pm and the park is getting crowded because it is also getting night.
“See you later at school!”
Reza went home which happened to be his house still quite close from the city park. After arriving, she was greeted by her mother who waited anxiously.
“Nak! Where have you been?” Citra, Reza's mother tightly hugged her son.
“Reza is not going anywhere, just to the park with new friends.” Reza took off slowly his mother's embrace.
“Oh, yes, Mom. Anyone want Eca takoinin.”
“Sini, Nak.” The image accompanied Reza to the sofa in the middle of the room.
Accompanied by bright lights, a tense atmosphere between mother and child was seen.
“This, Bu.” An envelope was given to her mother.
The image opened the envelope and immediately read it. Moments after reading it, his eyes widened, he stared alternately at the only child.
“It's kidding, right, son?”
Reza only replied to him by shaking his head, finally some liquid droplets came out of Citra's eyes which were immediately wiped by Reza.
“Sorry, Mom, this is sudden. But–”
“Do not! Don't tell me you don't want to take this opportunity? Just accept! I'll support you, I know your nature doesn't want to be away from you! So ... accept that and pack up, I can't keep you company.”
Reza's heart is getting dimmer. He was very sad and happy. Sadly, he had to part with his mother. Glad he was included in the list of Indonesia U-17 national team.
“Thank you, Mom, Eca won't forget Mom's advice!”
“Ah! You are, it feels like you will be separated forever, it is only about two weeks, and it is also still a long time, now it is still June.”
The next day, the school directly informed that a student named Reza Kusuma was selected by Bima coach for the U-17 Asian Cup Qualification 2023 which was held on October 4.
The decision of both is also unanimous. And ... Reza's school life is about to begin soon.
