In the dressing room Raka lowered her head in frustration. He could not deny that he was indeed a burden in the first half.

Despite having gone through physical training together with Mateo, his development was too slow. Raka kept thinking about how to be able to contribute in the second half.

Unfortunately coach Sergio has a different opinion. In the second round Raka will be reserved. The team has conceded two goals so coach Sergio cannot be kind enough to continue to give less chances in contribution.

The decision of coach Sergio is a reasonable one. Raka accepted it sincerely. This incident woke Raka from her dream who thought that everything had gone smoothly.

While observing the course of the banding, a resolution to practice harder emerged.

Coach Sergio and Mateo were initially worried about what Raka was thinking. They thought Raka would become angry and not accept her decision because she felt capable. But when they saw the calmness that was in Raka they both nodded their heads silently.

What they need is not a player who has a pride of stars syndrome but a player who can reflect. Know your own weaknesses and strengths for the good of the team.

The influx of Thunder made the attack line more active. Febri scored one goal through a pass from Jonathan. It was also the only goal created by PSIS. The match that day was won by Arema with a narrow score of 2 - 1.

"That's the end of today's game. There are some points that I have to highlight in this match.

The first was Somer who proved his quality as a goal tap. In addition there is also a strategy that is applied quite successfully by the Dudung coach. Maybe Arema will inaugurate him as a permanent coach is not temporary.

The second is Raka. Welcome to league 1. Do not despair haha, it would be a pity if the captain of the national team can not fight in league 1. In addition, hopefully today will be a warning for him to improve better.

The last point is I wonder if coach Sergio will continue to trust Raka or replace him with Thunder again."

"Well, your feelings will be predictable in the next week, man. The next PSIS schedule will be against Indonesian Premier League club MU, Madura United.

Speaking of opinions, I only have one that I am touched by Bung Haris who encourages a player. Did you eat wrong today? It's not like you used to."

"Come on man stop your crisp jokes and don't spoil my image hahaha.. ehm. My fellow viewers Bung Haris and my friend Bung Burhan permission to resign. Hail sports."

Bendeyes

Early in the morning, where the sun had not yet appeared, a young man was plank. That person was of course Raka.

His body trembled and his sweat was already pouring down like a waterfall. A few seconds later, Raka dropped to the floor.

Hosh hosh hosh

Time seems to have passed so long but in reality time only runs for 2 minutes 49 seconds.

After lying on the floor enough, Rak began to position himself to the starting position of the plank once again.

Since he could not dwell in the match Raka became even crazier in training. Before leaving for training with the club he did core training that can be done without tools, planks and sit ups are examples.

Slowly but surely the sun began to reveal itself. The sound of an alarm from her phone made Raka stop her training session.

Raka wiped his sweat and started preparing various things that would be brought to where the team was training.

While undergoing training with the Raka club also seriously do with the maximum. Additional training with Mateo is also still being conducted.

Raka had proposed additional hours of training but Mateo firmly rejected it. Hearing the unanimous rejection from Mateo himself could only regret. In the end Raka decided to practice alone at home.

Opeh therefore after the training together, he invited Raka to his office.

"Sit down, make yourself comfortable."

Raka who accepted coach Sergio's offer immediately asked in person. He didn't want to miss any additional training with Mateo.

"Something that is excessive will be bad."

"Sorry coach? I can't understand it" Raka said in confusion.

"Are you doing any extra exercises at home?"

Only after coach Sergio said that did Raka understand a little what the coach wanted to say.

The answer to coach Sergio's question was a nod from Raka. Coach Sergio who had guessed correctly could only cover his face with a hand.

"Raka please listen, I know you are still lacking in terms of physical confrontation. It's also good that players have the self-awareness to do extra training but we as coaches have put together really structured and planned training."

Coach Sergio sipped a drink on his desk. His throat was dry after speaking too long before he spoke again.

"Now your act of doing additional training is out of the plan that we've put together. This is just a stupid thing that even lowers your fitness.

Everything has its own portion and rest also requires its own portion.

Trust me, Mateo, he's the best physical coach for your current condition."

That day Raka received a lengthy talk from coach Sergio. His training with Mateo was also cancelled because the coach asked him to rest.

Of course Raka agreed with coach Sergio but he also remained stubborn to keep doing additional training.

The final decision is that he will do additional exercises but with a shorter time. This is to compensate for the time to rest and time to practice.

Unknowingly the next week's match had arrived. This time the club from Madura namely Madura United will be the next PSIS opponent.

This time Raka did not start as the starting eleven again. He was once again a backup warmer. Initially coach Sergio will play him but he is doubtful about Raka's fitness.

Coach Sergio also thinks that this will be a small lesson for Raka. But conditions on the ground have been deadlocked.

The match had entered the 60th minute but the score was still 0 - 0. Coach Sergio finally played Raka.

"Raka get ready, go in and replace Thunder. Let Jonathan step down and you take his place understand?"

"Understand sir."

The ball was immediately off the field and the assistant referee on the side of the field had raised his electronic board.

Number twelve is green and number 27 is red.

When Madura United players saw Raka enter the field they had a tacit understanding.

Arema's match against PSIS was a valuable lesson for all 1st league clubs. Grab the ball with a physical fight and you will get the ball from Raka.
