Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 79 - The Last Match of the Slovak Super League Season 2022/2023

“Hyaaaat!”

The ball forms a curved groove in the air, but the curve is not very visible. The ball was about to enter the goal and precisely target the top left corner of the goal.

However, a helping hand managed to pull him out. The ball flew out of the field.

“Wah ... You are too hard to break into!” chirps Witan.

In practice this time, Reza is challenged by all players to withstand the number of kicks in one time trip, every five seconds of his interval between players.

“Two kicks from thirty kicks in. It was Emeka and Kmet, they were very ingenious,” Reza said.

All his friends just laughed at each other. They have been doing this activity for a long time. Yeah, that was about a week ago. They continue to practice using this method on the sidelines of exercises that are arranged by the coaches.

Train reflexes for Reza, while training kick accuracy for other players. For other goalkeepers to do the same. Kukucka and Vozinha were quite good, out of thirty kicks, about twenty to twenty-two were either knocked out or captured.

“Reza, come with me!” take Coach Marian Zimen in the middle of the team fun.

Reza followed Coach Marian Zimen to the coaching staff building. There, Reza walked into the manager's room. Being allowed to sit down, Reza was a bit confused.

“Hei, Reza. Your grades have increased drastically, you know?”

Reza frowned. He shook his head. Reza was ordered to get closer to the laptop that was being used by Coach Marian.

On the laptop screen, the Transfermarkt homepage is visible. There, the identity of Reza as the main goalkeeper of the US Trencin is clearly visible. On the information of his transfer value, his pupils shrank perfectly in his surprised rank.

“This ... why can?”

Listed a number of values as much as €200,000 –Two hundred thousand Euro– or about 3.32 billion rupiah. Fantastic value in its rise. Obviously he was very surprised.

“According to our Head of Transfer Analysis, your value goes up that fast because your performance level is also amazing. You know, due to contract clauses, I withheld some loan contracts.”

“Ah .. such a yesa.”

“Loan from anyone?” reza was a little curious.

“Gillingham FC, then there is Colchester from the same league, namely League Two of England.”

“One thing I know, my decision is the coach's decision as well. Anyway, the coach won't let me off on loan let alone a purchase for now, right? Means I can calm down.”

Coach Marian Zimen laughed crisply. How honest and wicked from Reza. He even likes Reza's honesty which adds to the atmosphere as well.

“Nah .. My purpose in calling you is not just that either. As per the contract clause, the raise at the start of the season will come to you. Surely ... the increase will be high, so just wait after the negotiation with your agent!”

All of these dialogues use English. Although Reza understands Slovak, he is still very difficult to use in dialogue. Finally, Reza and his team agreed to communicate using English.

After that, Reza is welcome to return to training with the aim of the last match of the Slovak Super League season 2022/2023 which will host Podbrezova at home on March 4, 2023 later on Saturday.

***

Reza does his daily life vigorously. Nothing is missed, he wants to stay consistent until his golden age is over. Reza himself has pegged when to hang gloves later when he was 40 years old.

Reza still feels good. While living a normal life and not eating unhealthy food, then Reza can be sure his body will still be fit until the age at that time.

Leave the thought of the future first, now Reza is preparing in the dressing room with his team to immediately compete against Podbrezova in the last game of the league.

The formations and tactics themselves did not change much, only a few names were rotated. Pretty sure Coach Marian Zimen beat Podbrezova. Yes, even though winning or losing is not important for Podbrezova, because they are absolute in fourth position.

“Come, come, come! Stay as usual!” exclaim Coach Marian Zimen.

They all formed a circle and embraced each other. They did a kind of ‘ritual’ before the game. They encouraged each other, saying in a fast and soul-shaking voice.

After that, they immediately headed to the stadium hallway and prepared. The team from Podbrezova is also ready. Their view looks uninspired, it indicates that they do not care anymore in this fight.

When the referee took the lead, both teams followed him to the field. Both teams lined up facing the main stands. Some of them while jumping up and down to heat their joints.

Reza looked at the stands. Several Indonesian flags are spread. There are even Indonesian supporters who are encouraging. It looks to be playing for a foreign team a taste of the Indonesian team.

Everything is done before the fight starts. First, they will shake hands and take pictures with the league board in front of them.

Then coins tos from each captain. Bainovic from the US Trencan and Ludha from Podbrezova. Ludha himself plays as a goalkeeper.

Team Podbrezova who won the tos coin. They pick the ball first.

The last match for both teams in the 2022/2023 Slovak Super League season also began.

The first ball is on the feet of Podbrezova players. They are quite good at playing the ball, but one thing that many people are aware of. They play not so intense. Their schemes look to be playing games.

That made some US players somewhat annoyed Trencin to immediately press in these early minutes. They are lazy to see a team that plays lazily. That ... seems like one thing that is true. A person is lazy to see others who are lazy in doing something.

Good. Back to the fight. Holly got the ball, he immediately gave the ball to Bainovic who was a bit forward.

Bainovic sees the position. He also gave the ball and returned backwards in the right position. The ball was well received by Matus Kmet on the right side replacing the Witan position that was not played.

Kmet tried to go down the right side of the field. However, two players kept it tight.

Finally Kmet just back sliding the ball to the back to try to string the attack from the back.

In the back line, the four defenders pass each other while staring far ahead looking for a gap to deliver the ball.

Reza got the ball from Stojsavljevic. While slowly advancing to the front of the penalty box, Reza saw a small movement from Azango who replaced the current position of Emeka.

Azango ran piercing around the back line area of Podbrezova. Reza also advanced and then catapulted the ball measurably to Azango.

Azango looked at the ball, he smiled. “Good uspan!”

Azango turned around and immediately ran between the two opposing midfielders. He gained control of the ball, with the shrewdness of his feet playing the ball, Azango tried to take a speculative kick from outside the box.

The ball was shot towards the goal. However, unfortunately a thousand dear, the ball even bounced a few centimeters above the crossbar and only a little dangerous for Ludha alone.

“Nice try!” kmet told Azango.

Azango himself gave a thumbs up to Reza on the other side of the line line, precisely far in his goal.

Azango himself was still running without the ball around the Podbrezova area.

“Hmm ... this time what will I do?” reza Gumam.
