On a sunny Sunday afternoon, Doni trained in his trivel technique in a field near his home.
Doni kicked the ball right at his feet using the outside foot. But the kick did not produce a perfect arch.
He continued to practice and practice in order to master this one technique.
But Doni is not a robot, he is still a human who has a stamina limit. Donipun rotates for a short break before returning to exercise.
"It's very difficult to master this technique, but I have to be able to defeat Bang Chandra later." Doni said and drank the mineral water he had brought from his home.
While Doni was resting, suddenly a young man of his age came up to him.
The young man looked tall but thin. His tanned skin with his curly hair looks for the characteristics of this young man.
"Yo Cuy playing ball again? Can you not stand?" Said this curly-haired young man.
"It's just another technique exercise." Doni laughed a little.
The curly-haired young man immediately picked up the ball right next to Doni. He immediately did freestyle using the ball in his hand.
"So that's how I helped you do the exercises." Said the curly-haired young man.
Without a second thought Doni agreed to the young man's offer.
"OK by the way your name is who and play in what position?" Ask Doni to add more chemistry.
"Call me Tibo. Make a position I can play anywhere as long as not to be a goalkeeper or on the bench hahaha." The young man who gave his name was Tibo.
"I want you to run everywhere and I'll give you the trivela pass in the direction you're going." Doni told them their training method this time.
"Trivella? You mean gini..."
Tibo kicks with his outer leg from the right side of the field. The perfect arch of the ball successfully leads to the goal. It seems Tibo has been trained to use a trivela kick.
Doni is speechless. He was amazed by the trivela Tibo had done that he had seen by his own eyes.
"Cool... Where did you learn the trivela?" Ask Doni.
"I'm self-taught cuy. Just looking at vidio on social media and trying to demonstrate it." Tibo said that he learned the trivela technique alone.
"How many days can you master this technique?"
"Hmm about 3 days."
"Ha lie don't believe me 3 days." Doni seemed to not believe that Tibo mastered this technique for 3 days.
"Serius loh is easy too like this." Tibo again demonstrated the trivela kick technique to Doni.
"Who I believe oh ye what class."
"Your 1st class High School?" It turns out Tibo is one generation with Doni.
"The same dong."
"Where is she from High School?" Tibo asks Doni's school.
"SMA 70."
"70 SSMA? Means...."
"Tibo... Mama's ready for this let's go home." Not ready for Tibo to speak, suddenly there are mothers who call Tibo from the edge of the field which turns out she is Tibo's own mother.
"Yes Mak. Okah Cuy I want to go home first my mamak is ready to huddle with his friend. See you at the tournament." Tibo left Doni and waved his hand at Doni.
"Tournament?" Doni looked confused by the meaning of Tibo's speech. He had no idea what tournament Tibo was referring to. It's just that Doni realizes that Tibo is smiling when Doni says that he is from SMA 70.

Two weeks before the tournament starts. Mr. Danang increased the training schedule from before to improve the game between players.
"Let's stay two weeks can't be leha-leha example of Doni from yesterday training continues to be able to use one technique only." Said Mr. Danang motivating his foster children.
"With your shooting skil pasing and also dribling, make your body balance body sharpening defender your physical also so as not to be tired and easy to fall." Added.
"Ready Sir." The entire player replied.
Doni kicked the ball again with his outside foot. This time there was progress from before. Doni's kick produces an arch although not perfect.
"A little bit more I should be able to anyway!" Doni's spirit smoldering him back doing the trivela technique exercise was not only that he was also training other techniques as well.

Day by day no one could improve their skills other than practice. They looked excited even though their bodies were tired because they wanted to win the city tournament and head to the national championship.
The first match will start in 3 days.
Doni who practices the trivela technique along with the right pass for several types of strikers.
Ridwan is focused on training physically for a physical fight when dealing with monster strikers such as Wilson and Ferza.
Al practiced blocking the hard kick that is characteristic of Ferza.
And other players who do not want to be left behind to add to their respective expertise.
While taking a break from training, Al Doni and Riski sat next to each other, they seemed cool chatting with each other.
"I'm tired of sleeping in my bed all day." Said Riski who looked exhausted due to the training she was doing.
"Yes I also however we have to keep training in order to be strong like the others." Doni Sahut.
After speaking Doni seemed to stand up to continue the practice but Al prevented it.
"Are you ready to rest?" Ask Al.
"Yes I want to perfect my new technique there is no time to rest." Doni who took the ball.
"Rest first just sat 5 minutes but you already want to practice again later what injury." Al said asking Doni not to be rash for practice first seen from his face Doni looks exhausted.
"You need to rest first, don't force it to exercise. Remember anything excessive is not good." Ridwan who happened to be near there also asked Doni to rest first.
Hearing Ridwan's advice, Doni sat back down to rest again.
"Patience Doni training does not betray results." Al.
