Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 70 - Second Round Against Banska Bystrica

After Reza's free-kick goal, Banska Bystrica tried to play open further on the remaining minutes of the first half.

Starting from their wingers who overlapped along the left side of the US defense Trencin. Kozlovsky who controls the movement of Banska Bystrica winger Adam Hanes.

Kozlovsky was very strict in controlling Hanes' movements. However, one mistake occurred, Hanes who tried to outwit with the movement of deception, Kozlovsky consumed the trick easily. As a result Hanes managed to pass him and stabbed into the penalty box.

Lazar Stojsavljevic tried to do a cutting slide to dispel the ball. However, once again, Hanes shifted the ball so that Stojsavljevic simply mowed the grass in his groove.

Hanes immediately cut inside, he stared for a moment at Reza's position then threw the ball as hard as he could.

Reza, who saw the ball approaching, quickly shifted to the right side. He immediately repulsed strongly so that his flight could make his hand reach for the ball.

His right hand brushed off the ball which produced a corner. The stunning rescue from Reza was once again on display, inexhaustible the spectators and also the coaching staff of both teams were amazed.

“Not wrong I bid him,” muttered Marian Zimen.

After a corner, Reza punched the ball into the middle of the field. The referee blew the whistle as a sign the first half was over. The entire player walked into the stadium hallway looking exhausted.

Reza also, the air in Europe is quite cold, especially after winter. However, this is what is a challenge for him, to first feel the winter, then his body will experience a decrease in performance.

Reza hopes that soon he will be able to adapt to the climate and weather of Europe so that his performance is not a bad thing for his team and make himself a bench warmer.

Inside the dressing room of the visiting team, AS Trencin. They're waiting for the head coach to come. While waiting, they began to throw a little praise at Reza, seeing his stunning performance at the beginning of his debut.

“Ahaha! That's still lacking!” reza said he spoke English.

Witan himself who listened to the compliment just smiled happily. The first time he came, that was how it felt. To be underestimated, then when showing capable skills then their trivial attitude to respect you as a teammate. Compliments are also not uncommon.

In the middle of the conversation, the door opened and Marian Zimen was shown with assistant coach, Pavol Mlynar. They both approached the front of the room.

“As expected. Maintain excellence, if necessary add more,” said Marian Zimen loudly.

Reza tried to understand his words one by one and finally understood them. In essence, the coach wants his team to maintain the advantage or it could add to the advantage.

Coach Marian Zimen again explained some of the tactics that must be done in the second half so that his team can be more focused again, not to let your guard down and lead to disaster.

Reza continued to focus, he occasionally tilted his head because some of Marian Zimen's vocabulary was not understood. Luckily a teammate translated English to Reza.

For Witan himself, he was almost the same as Reza. Understand, do not understand, on average is for the problem of foreign language skills, especially Slovak.

***

The players started to spread out on the pitch, they were ready for the second half. Moreover, Banska Bystrica who was left behind one goal was intent on equalizing and looking for victory.

The ball starts at the feet of the Banska Bystrica players. They built attacks from below and tried occasionally to overlapping, but the experiment always failed because it was blocked by disciplined US player Trencin.

Banska Bystrica is trying to keep attacking, coach Marian Zimen is a bit worried about his current team. Fatigue has plagued a number of players on the pitch, minutes still showing exactly 60.

There are still 30 minutes left, and that's not yet an extra time that's roughly between 3 to 5 minutes. Coach Marian Zimen who was standing on the sidelines looked back, he saw some players talking to each other about the match.

“Matu Kmet, you get ready, you will replace Artur Gajdos.” Marian Zimen pointed to Kmer for a small warm-up.

Kmet prepared, while on the field, Reza's goal was in great danger. A left winger Banska Bystrica made it through the guard.

Lavrincik, who is a defensive midfielder, is trying to help the defense as well, when the defense is a bit divided. There was a glimmer of panic between them, until Reza made up her mind.

Polievka who increasingly pierced into the penalty box and approached the goalkeeper area, without compromise immediately made a hard kick along the ground. The clump of field is slightly cut off when the ball passes through it.

Reza immediately made a move of anticipation. He bent his right leg to the side, his body like a knee, his left leg rested on the knee and maintained balance.

The ball hit Reza's right foot and returned to the area of his lucky penalty box, Lavrincik got it and immediately counter-attacked forward. However, the attack had to be cut in midfield at the feet of Banska Bystrica's players because the players were too deep defensively.

After the rescue to so many times for Reza help the breath of several players and also the audience. They could only nod lightly, looking already ordinary Reza was able to save the goal. The unusual thing is that if Reza does not save the goal, they will obviously be surprised and upset.

Bola sekarang terus bergulir di antara kaki para pemain Banská Bystrica. Ketika bola keluar, Kmet masuk menggantikan Gajdos. Ini jelas menambah daya serang sisi kanan bagi AS Trenčín.

It was seen when the US Trencin attacked more dominant to the right side. Through Kmet, the ball continues to roll up to the penalty box. A one-two pass from them created past several Banska Bystrica players.

However, the attack had to stop when the key pass for Kmet was too tight so the ball went off the field.

Reza is currently still keeping his goal. He had not wanted to advance yet, but occasionally Witan waved for Reza to advance.

Answering a wave of his hand, Reza just shook her head. He is not sure yet to go forward, he is still hesitant against the physicality of the opposing players. When he had a physical confrontation, he was afraid he would hit the ground and the ball was captured.

Witan re-coded for Reza to advance. Reza finally tried to be sure, he got a pass from Kozlovsky. Reza also advanced until approaching the middle of the field.

Marian Zimen immediately stood up from her stool. He seemed enthusiastic to see Reza who finally dared to advance like what he watched during the U-17 Asian Cup Qualifier at that time.

“This is ..”

Reza looks with the shrewdness of the ball. As Polievka approached her, Reza shifted the ball backwards and made a 360° spin while continuing to carry the ball around her.

The round outwitted Polievka and surprised many parties. Especially the Banska Bystrica side who were quite surprised to see the new goalkeeper from the US Trencin.

Reza when he managed to rotate the body, he immediately accelerated. He glanced right ahead and so on the contrary. There was a Witan who ran down the right side, then on the left side there was Azango. In the middle some of his teammates are also making movements without the ball.

Reza was a little confused, it was because the opposing team's defense was too well-coordinated. He could not have done more risky. As a result he made a diagonal pass towards Witan and immediately dropped back, but not directly in the goalkeeper area, just near the circle of the penalty box.

Witan who got his favorite ball, the ball area did not waste a chance. He made the first touch that managed to get the ball under control. He had a duel with an opposing defender.

Witan managed to pass the opposing defender with his speed, after which Witan stabbed into the penalty box and gave a pull pass or commonly called the cut-back.

The pull bait was struck well by Okunola which made the net vibrate. Hruska himself can only die in the face of a tap-in ala Okunola who immediately changed the score to 2-0.

The score did not change until the end. All efforts by Banska Bystrica to minimize its lag cannot bear sweet fruit. As a result, thanks to the victory, U. S. Trencin rose to 6 consecutive shifts, namely Zilina, Banska Bystrica and Zemplin Michalovce.

All three teams are in 7th to 9th place. Their position shifted clearly due to US victory Trencin.

However, AS Trencin had to wait for the results of the other two teams that he shifted his position, because both teams were still temporarily competing at the same time and different places.

Zilina against Skalica fell to a direct score of 1-0 on 78 minutes.

For Zemplin Michalovce himself was also trailing by a score of 1-0 from Ruzomberok directly in the 87th minute.

Perhaps, if the current score position does not change, then it is certain that US Trencin will settle in the sixth position until the twentieth week which lasts another week.
