Wednesday, April 26, 2023, at 09:00 a.m. Reza prepared to leave for Bali, where the Concentration of a short Training held by Coach Bima took place.

Unaccompanied by anyone, Reza chose to leave quite quietly and only known by his mother, Agent Bryan and also his football teammate.

On the plane, Reza stared out the window. His eyes showed a burning determination, looking so serious and like they could not be bothered in the slightest.

“Haaa... board a plane ... again,” shrewd Reza and instantly relax his body and mind.

An airplane flew low and landed quite smoothly. The plane slowly approached the plane's parking lot for a drop in passengers.

Reza down the stairs. He immediately exclaimed, “Welcome to Bali!”

Reza who only wears a sling bag containing a hat and also gloves. He also carried a tote bag containing his shoes, as well as several pieces of clothing to be used at the Training Center and also later used in Japan there.

Reza enters the airport building. There was already Coach Bima and his assistant waiting for Reza. Behind him was a group of other U-17 national team players who stood so relaxed, some of whom talked lightly.

“Well, the last player came by flight from Palu City!” said Coach Bima, “Come, we're going to his place!” continued.

They also took a bus that was available at the airport to Traning Ground Bali United which was the Gianyar.

Indeed, the hotel where they stayed was quite a distance away to the Training Ground, but it did not dampen their spirits for the sake of practicing the best. Especially the physical players must continue to be intensified so that they are able to compete in the fight for the ball with other strong teams.

Long enough in the journey together to Training Ground Bali United which has very complete and good facilities. Entering the Training Ground environment, it looks so crowded with some people who are doing activities.

“Nah ... for four days, you guys I will train as best as I can. Especially your physique!” exclaim Coach Bima.

For the squad this time, it has barely changed. Truly the squad during the Qualifications some time ago. Some of these have also begun to make a difference over the past six months or so. Part of them his body slightly changed, with the muscles of the body increasingly tightened.

Coach Bima's goal is not without reason to boost the best physical form of his team. Because during qualifying at that time, some players often can not fight because the body tends to be physically weak.

“Everything, starting today ... do it!” exclaimed Nabil Asyura with vigor.

They also immediately spread out to prepare everything in the multipurpose building at that time. People who do the activity are a little curious about the young people who are passionate about doing their exercises.

Their training on the field was filled with curious spectators. The U-17 national team players themselves are currently warming up before tighter training.

The players warm up by doing movements in place, then in conjunction with dynamic movements.

After 1 set was all done, the players started to jog lightly from the goal to the middle of the field, it was done back and forth for a few minutes.

After several back and forth, the players replaced his warm-up with footwork and dexterity.

Continued by running back and forth through the conical boundary, the players began to sweat and feel exhausted. Moreover, the physical ones were very bad, they were already drenched. That's why Coach Bima ramped up their physique even better.

After the warm-up, Coach Bima asked the physical coaching staff to start physical training for the players.

Physical training will make the players become more fit and some of them will get muscles that start to heat up.

Direct training begins with training the body's endurance. To train endurance, the players do light jogging again like warming up but the distance is short, it is to check the heart rate of the players first.

But even though the distance is short, the jogging is arranged by a physical trainer, where players have to jog 30 seconds, then sprint for 15 seconds then go back to jogging 30 seconds again and sprint again. It was done several times in a fairly close interval.

After that, the training continues with the cutting program.

This cutting training to shape the body so that it does not have fat and only forms muscle. After some other endurance exercises like box jumps, training continues to the strength training stage.

The players do push-ups, back-ups, squats

jump and squat thrust. For weight lifting, bench press and lunge have not been done. That's on the second day of Training later.

After a few sets of strength training, the physical trainer immediately proceeded towards the increasingly intense speed training. This speed training, starting from the shuttle run, where running back and forth, with a specified distance, this is done several sets.

After the shuttle run, another speed training is a short-range sprint. The next training is to train dexterity, where doing the attitude of candles and kissing the knees also do plank. Everything is done in stages with intervals spaced fairly close together as well.

With a few sets of dexterity training, the muscles of the players are starting to become interested, but the players still have to continue training.

The next training is to train agility, where the zig-zag run like the warm-up but now set with the time set by the physical trainer, of course more intense again.

The physical exercise is completed, then continued with the technique exercise for 20 minutes.

Where this is to train such as ball control, passing, heading, kicking and movement. This is done so that the players become more up his technique and not keteteran. Especially the goalkeepers like Reza and Andrika. They will practice reflexes and so on.

After 20 minutes, the training continued with tactical training. Where the coach gives some instructions to the players according to the wishes of the coach. The understanding of tactics must be done immediately to the players.

After the technical training, the training continued to build chemistry among the players, namely mini games for 20 minutes. The players are also on his team.

After training the players in the mini game, the coach also immediately cools down for the players so as not to get injured.

Ending with the cooling, the players were finally able to breathe enough relief with a relatively high intensity of training.

Reza breathed a sigh of relief, only this time his training became more intense since being trained by Coach Sofyan while at Hope High School first.

“Nah ... Now, you will practice freely. In a few hours, gather in the function room and then you can go back to the hotel!” obviously Coach Bima.
