Meanwhile, at the same time, or precisely on campus which is also in the capital. At that time Dragon was on the edge of the ball field, which was located not far from the campus where he studied it
There he majored in mechanical engineering, which happened to be the time his lecture was finished. Being bored of his activities is just that. Dragon decides to go out for a walk, accompanied by some of his bodyguards, disguised as ordinary students
Their attitude and appearance did not depict a bodyguard, but was really a picture of a student
In addition to them, Dragon was also accompanied by four friends, who happened to be one of the famous team players from the capital
As he walked on the sidelines, a round ball approached him, and he subconsciously passed back into the middle of the field, with a light kick. But the consequences are incredible. The ball that was kicked was, instead of heading towards the middle of the field, but immediately flew towards the goal, which was quite a distance away
Unexpectedly, the only playful kick, making the ball he kicked slid profusely, and finally into the middle of the goal, and could not be blocked by the goalkeeper
Everyone was silent, including the coach nearby. Especially the players. Incidentally they are currently sparing partners with the city team next door, and have just been intending to take a break.
But unexpectedly. There is someone who is demonstrating his best kick. It was done from a distance far enough, and entered the goal without reproach
As a result of the spectacular action of Dragon, made four friends to be surprised. But not for his men. For them, the action of Dragon is nothing, compared to what has been done before
But for Mikel Arteta, and his assistant Paul Alcatra, and the hundreds of spectators who thronged the pitch, it was already incredible.
All this time they have never seen any of these incredible kicks. If there is, it is done from the middle of the field. But this is from the edge of the field near the opponent's goalpost anyway
Realizing that, in a hasty step, Mikel Arteta, the capital's famous team coach came to Dragon, and greeted him kindly." Are you a football player?. If you can tell which team you're from?" Say
"I'm just an ordinary college student, and have never played ball at all. But often do other sports that are physical." Answer Dragon as he is
"But why are your kicks so spectacular?"
"Are you using magic?" Mikel asked, joking
"Oh!. Maybe that's because I often practice using physical strength."
"If it's just a light ball like that, for me it's very easy." Answer Dragon impressed
"But your kick was really amazing."
"As long as I'm working in the world of football, I've never met a player who has a kick as strong as your kick."
"I'm thinking of signing you to strengthen our team."
"With you, chances are our country team will come out as the champion." Arteta's response was straightforward
"Presidente. I no te equivocas al ofrecer a este nino stink kencur para unirse a su equipo nacional?"
(Chairman!. Aren't you wrong to offer these kids to join their national team?) Paul Alcatra, the assistant coach, asked
"Lo is mejor Que tu pues callate!" (I know better than you!) Mikel Arteta was not happy
"Per.?(But) Paul's protest was not accepted
"Callarse la boca!"( Quiet down!) Sergea Arteta was angry
"Enor entrenador. Lo que dijo Tu asistente. Realmente no merezco unirme a su equipo. ademas tampoco estoy interesado en unirme." (Master coach!. What your assistant said is true. I don't deserve to join your team, I'm not interested in joining either!" Dragon spoke Spanish as well
"Puedes hablar with nuestro idioma?" (Do you speak our language?) Arteta's response was in disbelief
"Esos es todo!" (That's how!) Answer Dragon as he is
"I'm sorry young man!. We really don't know who we're dealing with. It turns out that you are not an ordinary person once again forgive me!" Paul Alcatra's response arrived
"No problem!. You have the right to say that, because your responsibility is huge. So I don't feel offended." Answer Dragon is spacious chest
"You are a virtuous person. I'm falling for you." Alcatra reply sincerely
"Then we go first. It just so happens that there's something we have to do outside." Dragon's voice cut through the conversation
He left after saying goodbye to the two coaches. But Arteta prevented it by saying." Wait a minute, young man!. My offer still applies to you!" Say
"I'll think about it later. But if you can tell, when will the match be held?"
"Who knew I could come." Dragon replied lightly
"Two more days.at 07:00 p.m. On the Prismatama gelora!" Welcome Arteta as it is
There is a speck of hope, his team can win the semifinal match later. His team has never been able to defeat the opposing team. Out of 9 matches, everyone lost. If you can insert a goal into the opponent's goal, it's not much
So as soon as Dragon responded to his offer, he felt very happy, because he was sure, that Dragon would defend his country so as not to continue to be insulted by people
What Arteta predicted was true. Dragon also wants to help his country, because he knows that his country has always been underestimated by other countries, especially in the field of sports
This time he wanted to defend his country to raise his prestige in the eyes of the world. But how should he play?. Though all this time he could only master the science of kanuragan, kesaktian and so forth. Is the movement of the ball the same as the movement of silat?. Change that he will think about
"Paul!. Next time be careful before saying!"
"I'm sorry sir. Next time I won't do it again." Paul Alcatra replied unkindly
"Huh!. I can sense that the boy is not an ordinary young man, but an extraordinary one."
"His eyes were sharp and his determination was very strong."
"I'm sure if he joins us, even if only once, our team can beat that giant team and can enter the final round."
"I would love to give our team victory to the people of Indonesia, especially to the lovers of this country's ball."
"But unfortunately the two teams we're going to face have never been beaten
"Hopefully with the boy's presence, it can turn things around." Arteta lirih. Then approached his men to be given instructions
***
Two days later. The awaited time also came. Hundreds of thousands of ball lovers, both large and small, flock to the Prismatama skyline
Everything is ready to watch the semi-final match, between the proud team of Indonesia against the team of the pride of the windmill
They really hope that the team he loves can win the game, because in a friendly match for two times, their strength is balanced
But unfortunately, this time the team led by Brodd Van Houten, the coach who is very experienced in winning the world cup, has set another strategy
They set the strategy by setting a formation 3-4-4. and at any time can change to 4-3-4 as needed and conditions
While Arteta's team, still keep setting up the old formation, which is 2-4-5, and it is already known by the opposing team, because there is someone who has leaked the secret
So the opposing team coach said with arrogance." If it's just such a strategy, it's easy to break.Important you apply a long-range kick pattern, and don't get a chance to get the ball!" He gave orders
"The captain this time, to face the weak opponent, I entrust to David Crush."
"While right-wing and left-wing stickers, I entrust them to Frederick and Honje."
"Strong the team and be all over the place if needed. Do not wait at the top, but move freely to and fro, so that the opposing team becomes confused!"
"This time I want to humiliate this country, because they've boasted they'll beat us!" Brodd Van Houten continued to give directions
"Now get out of the dressing room, and show your best performance!"
"Lake it down and embarrass them!. Don't let them score!" Say it again
Soon, they were facing each other in the middle of a very good field, witnessed by hundreds of thousands of spectators, most of whom came from this country
They are shoulder to shoulder, giving yel-yel and singing their national song, in order to arouse the spirit of their pride team
Seeing the enthusiasm of the tempestuous audience, made the opposing team become shrivelled, but because their mentality has been tested, the pressure only lasts a short time. Then they had returned as usual, with a burning fighting spirit
The first round had begun, with a kick carried out by the captain of the host. For a moment the ball has moved to and fro, because it was passed by the players. A moment at the top, briefly in front of the goal, and briefly out of the field
Fifteen minutes passed. But the position is still a draw, which is 0 - 0. But in the 23rd minute, the ball slid swiftly towards the goal of the Indonesian team, because the opposing team had mastered the circumstances
But thanks to the shrewdness of the goalkeeper, the opposing team's hard kick he managed to catch, and the position still remains the same
Why is the pride of Indonesia a problem? They are very well trained. Turns out the opponent's ball passes are long passes. While the Indonesian ball-ball pass is a short pass, and it was done once in a while
Rarely do they apply a long pass pattern, because if they apply such tactics, the ball will be easy once the opponent snatch, because their posture is higher and larger than the body posture of the Indonesian team
So the Indonesian team is feeling very difficult. For the umpteenth time, in this tenth match, they rediscovered the pattern of the opponent's game that was very difficult. But because of good teamwork, keeping each other in position, then until the 37th minute there was no ball that entered the Indonesian goal
But in the 38th minute, when a sticker named Honje aimed his high kick in front of the goal on the right side, immediately greeted by Frederick
The high ball passes performed by Honje were put to good use by Frederick, by jumping up high into the air, and taking free kicks in the air, with his head down and feet up
Just contact the action is very extraordinary, making the ball he kicked sliding rapidly towards the goal of the Indonesian team, and unable to be pushed by the goalkeeper
Now the position becomes 1-0. Indonesian supporters are silent. They did not expect that his team's resistance would stop there
But they still hope that his team can balance the position at least 1-1
But their hopes did not come true, even in the 40th minute, one goal came back in, and in the 45th minute before the whistle sounded. long-range kick from Frederick successfully entered the goal of the Indonesian team
Weak are all of them. The audience was also silent especially the coach
The person who is expected to help has not come yet. Maybe he is not willing to help his country to come out as a winner
"It turns out the boy wasn't willing to help."
"What can I do. Maybe my team will be the months of the second half. The presence or absence of the child is the same now" his voice shriveled, while twitching his forehead which suddenly felt dizzy
"How's the coach doing?. Sorry I'm late!" The words of someone who appeared arrived that made Arteta aghast and retreated in surprise
