Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 80 - Scorpion Kick to Score!

The match between AS Trencin and Podbrezova went quite smoothly. Both teams also moved actively, although Podbrezova somewhat relaxed their active attacks.

Podbrezova has no intention of winning. However, one thing is for sure, they certainly do not want to experience a humiliating defeat in the last league game. At least the draw was good enough. That's why they are still trying to assemble the defense as best they can.

US Trencin also aggressively continuously took the initiative to attack. After all in this last game, there is a big bonus waiting for them because they have reached the club's target at the beginning of the season, which is fourth position in the standings.

At least since Reza came. Before Reza came, they were quite stumbling around and had a greater number of admissions than the number of prints. That makes the overall amount of their score negative or minus.

On the sidelines, Coach Marian Zimen sits on the bench. He looked at every player on his team. Their moves are quite coordinated, but still very lacking to compete in the play-offs, UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds or even the group stages themselves.

Tight competition. Where when the play-offs are completed, of the six teams competing only one position team only entered the UEFA Champions League qualifying round. The rest of them will fight in the qualifying and play-offs of the UEFA Conference League.

Coach Marian Zimen keeps a big target. He wants with the squad now, to be in at least until the UEFA Champions League group stages. He will make a surprise, become a team of dark horses that surprise Europe.

Leaving behind some thoughts of Coach Marian Zimen, currently on the field, Podbrezova's team is doing a corner football. The ball was attached to the penalty box, but Reza's high jump made him pick the ball with ease.

Reza height 182 cm. The vertical jump is as high as 70 cm if measured clearly. Especially with the length of his arms. It really made it easier for him to pluck the ball in the air. Reza was awarded a very suitable height as a goalkeeper.

The beginning of the time at the Harapan High School club was about 175 cm high, until now the height is quite up. This height will also continue to grow over time.

“Take this ..!”

Reza kicked the ball far forward. Up front, Kmet got it. This player dribbles quickly in a sharp counter-attacking scheme.

From the front, an opposing player performs a dangerous cutting slide. Luckily, Kmet has a great ability. He lifted the ball while jumping to avoid it.

Afterwards, Kmet ran tirelessly towards Podbrezova's defence. On the middle side, there was Azango preparing to receive a pass from Kmet at any time.

Kmet tried to be a bit selfish, he kept dribbling until he got close to the box. Entering the penalty box about one meter, Kmet then threw the ball towards the goal in a measured manner.

The ball rotates very quickly, creating a beautiful arch from the results of Kmet's right foot kick. Unfortunately, Podbrezova's goalkeeper Ludha was in his best form for the day so he was able to push the ball away.

The ball goes off the field and produces a corner of 34.

Kmet took a corner. He raised his hand as a code, then took off the hull bait. However, unfortunately the bait is a bit strange. The ball tends to spin out of the field.

A corner wasted by him. The players return to their positions.

The match resumed. The goal kick from Ludha touched the middle of the field. In the middle, Bainovic had an aerial duel with Oravec.

Oravec can touch the ball with his head and point it forward, Paraj is already waiting.

Paraj gets the ball. From the back, there was already tight security. Stojsavljevic and Pires work together.

Paraj who lost momentum again feed back to the back waiting for a series of new attack schemes from his colleagues.

The first half ended in a draw. The intense attack from the U. S. won't score because Podbrezova actually survived desperately, resembling a bus parking tactic.

In the team's dressing room, AS Trencin.

Coach Marian Zimen gave a little direction for his foster children to keep playing open in the second half. For the wing-back side must be more creative and self-conscious. The full-back can progress to overlap when the midfield and front are a bit shaky. The full-back was filled by Kozlovsky and also Duriska.

The front line is filled on the left side there Soares must be more active in moving without the ball. Azango as a pivot must also be able to utilize the shooting room or space to make movements. Then Kmet, he must also be the same as Soares.

“Coach, on some corner football occasions I want to progress!” Raise your hands, Reza immediately interrupts.

“Good determination. It's up to you, but you have to look at the situation and don't come forward.”

“Coach, I think some of my movements continue to be tightly controlled!” Azango gave what he felt.

Coach Marian Zimen stared at Azango. “Then get out of that control!”

All were given personal instructions. As a good coach and firm, Marian Zimen does not want his foster children to experience the slightest mistakes. Yes, if there is indeed a mistake, it is worth to understand, his name is also a human place of error.

The second round begins immediately. The ball starts at the feet of US players. Following the direction and tactics of Coach Marian Zimen, the players started to be able to play more openly and not so nervous.

Attacks from the flank were also more intense. From the middle is not uncommon as well, but more often through the flanks of the wings.

At 56 minutes, a corner for AS Trencin was done. Reza came forward to coordinate first.

Kmet on the corner, he looked at Reza who was already in the penalty box. His position is right in the straight line of the goal mouth, standing just above the penalty box line. That meant a distance of 16 meters more back then.

Reza raised his hand. He's ready to take the bait.

Kmet do the bait. The ball rose and swooped towards Reza who was then escorted by two opposing players.

However, his control did not make Reza stop moving. He was even more convinced to try something in scoring goals.

Facing firmly wicket. Both legs were strengthened, after the jump explosion made him resemble a scorpion kick belonging to Higuita. Reza swung his left leg firmly up front like a scorpion's tail attacking when the ball came. His right leg as a pedestal in the air.

The action has fascinated many people. The movement is very perfect above ground level, about 60 cm.

When the ball came, like the ball wanted to be immediately kicked by his feet, the ball approached towards the left foot of Reza who was preparing to be swung up the front.

The ball managed to shoot hard towards the goal. While landing with both hands and immediately do other advanced movements, Reza saw the ball that had entered hit the goal.

Ludha himself stood stiff with his knees slightly bent and both hands alert at the side of the body. Ludha had .. lost momentum and was surprised by the kick.

Seeing the ball coming in, Reza ran to the corner of the field to perform his iconic celebration. Reza felt a little funny, his scorpion kick was able to be used to score goals.

“Heh .. as I see it. Like Ibrahimovic, yes, he wears one leg and the other foot is still on the tread. I look more like Higuita, hehe~”

After that, the match continued. Podbrezovan woke up from his sleep, they began to raise the intensity of the game higher.

However, every time they attack despite passing US player Trencin, they always break up when there is Reza under the crossbar.

Reza is still very strong and has not conceded in the league so far. That's a good thing. Early in his professional career, he was consistent.

The last match of the Slovak Super League season 2022/2023 was over both teams.
