Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 100 - Dynamo Aue (1)

"Dear viewers, welcome to the 36th round of League 2.Bundesliga match Koln Athletics vs. Dynamo Aue by Compas.Net TV."

Commentators introduced the ins and outs of the game's live broadcast, as well as Raynaldi's general appearance in 2.Bundesliga.

"Dynamo Aue was our first Indonesian youth opponent, Raynaldi at 2.Bundesliga. In that match, he scored three goals alone. This made him famous in Germany. He is now at 2.Bundesliga. Scoring 25 goals is incredible."

Voices Franda, the host of the sports broadcast which is now the narrator of match 2.Bundesliga, heard on TV.

“Truely, Franda. This is a breakthrough for Indonesian football, however this is the first time an Indonesian player has the opportunity to become a top scorer in the European league.” Irsyad Maulana, a former national player who was invited as a narrator, also praised Raynaldi's brilliant performance.

After a few moments of conversation, the camera finally shows the Athletic Koln players coming out of the players aisle. Especially the most camera highlights are on the body of Raynaldi who has become a top scorer in half a season playing at Koln Athletics.

Lisa was very excited when she saw her sister appear on TV. “Mother! Lookie! Sister appears on TV!” Lisa said excitedly.

Meanwhile, Anita who saw her son on TV and was praised by many people, also felt that everything was precious at the moment. He knew Raynaldi was less capable in academia, if others only needed to learn something once then his son would need at least two or three times before mastering it. Of course, Raynaldi had a pretty good language talent, otherwise how could he have spoken German in less than a month?

“Bu?” Lisa was confused to see her mother speechless when she saw TV.

“Iya, sister is already a famous player now.” Anita stroked her daughter's head. Lisa simply smiled and nodded with excitement.

Under the attention of the German afternoon sun, the official match began, and the Athletic Cologne took the lead in the kick-off.

Raynaldi dribbled and rushed to Dynamo Aue for a drink, and shortly afterwards he met Donk.

Donk looked to the sidelines, while Dynamo Aue's coach sat there staring at the field seriously.

His job today was to keep Raynaldi and not give him a chance to shoot.

"Hey, I won't let you score again today. There was a bit of an accident last time, and you're definitely not as lucky this time."

Raynaldi pretended to suddenly realize. "Oh, is that your H*lo Kity?"

Donk was embarrassed for a while, and shook his head slowly, he said. "That's a joke by my nephew!"

Raynaldi turned his head and held his smile, just as Deschamp passed the ball, Raynaldi stepped forward to control the ball, Donk immediately posted it, Raynaldi could only pass back to midfielder Van Buren.

"Speak with strength this time!" Raynaldi turned his head rushing forward, Donk followed him closely.

Van Buren had a breakthrough pass, and Raynaldi was very fast. In this game, he felt his body light in this match. Donk can't catch up for a while.

After getting the ball, Raynaldi took that chance and started dribbling, and in an instant he was already in the box.

Raynaldi was decisive, adjusting on the edge of the big penalty area, and eventually volleyed with his right foot.

Donk chases from behind and throws almost his entire body out, hitting the ball with his feet, and Raynaldi's shot is blocked and floated out of the baseline.

“Come! Who's afraid of who!” Donk got up and shouted at Raynaldi.

"Raynaldi's speed is very fast. This is his characteristic. It must be uncomfortable for Dynamo Aue. This time he handled very well and shot very firmly. This is what our national team is lacking." Puji Franda's.

A corner kick was made, and Donk had experience this time around, he grabbed a point in the penalty area and pushed a corner out of the penalty area, launching a wave of counter-attacks.

The ball was transferred very quickly, Dynamo Aue midfielder Walter had the ball and then moved forward with big strides.

Tony was very focused and flew to save the ball to the baseline.

The pace of both sides was extremely fast Although Dynamo Aue's ratings weren't very good, but its strength was still there, and Koln Athletics also hoped to score as soon as possible in the opening game.

Donk plays very hard in this game. Since Dynamo Aue's defeat to Koln Athletics this season, Donk's condition has been a bit volatile and his performance has been up and down, which has also been a major cause of Dynamo Aue's poor record.

Donk also considers the game a turning point in the season, he feels he has to get past this turning point, so the second round of both teams is very important for him.

Later, he knew that Raynaldi was the first game in the European professional league, and he became the background of Raynaldi's big debut. Donk felt his performance back then was quite embarrassing, so he intended to do his best in this match.

Athletic Cologne set up another attack. Buhari made a one-two pass with Raynaldi from the wing, and then dribbled inside. Results cleared. Raynaldi was not far away to respond. He already felt that Buhari could not hold the ball for longer and he moved forward to respond the first time.

Donk also appears in front of Raynaldi.

Raynaldi tapped on his heel ball lightly and quickly turned to Donk's left side. Donk gives no way, and intends to take down Raynaldi with a collision from the front.

Raynaldi managed to avoid Donk's collision, but he lost the initiative to control the ball. Another Dynamo Aue centre-back, Okan, cleared the ball.

Although Dynamo Aue's rank was behind Athletic Koln, his strength on the field was definitely no less than the latter. But in reality, Koln Athletics very rarely threatens the Dynamo Aue goal. The only threat is Raynaldi.

Donk is set to defend Raynaldi, Dynamo Aue's coach hoping he can freeze him like the other players who locked Raynaldi out before, but Raynaldi is now far more cunning than ever.

The daily practice in the virtual stadium gave Raynaldi a playing experience that far surpassed his real life situation, and he was already used to this situation.

During this period of time, Raynaldi played about 30 games in a virtual stadium, which was roughly equal to one season in the real world. With dozens of real Bundesliga games, Raynaldi gradually found the flavor, and he got used to it.

This shocked Donk who defended him. Of course, Donk remembers the first time he met Raynaldi. If he waives the goals and incidents************* himself, Donk can catch a glimpse that Raynaldi lost and is still green in the professional arena.

In fact, Raynaldi's debut wasn't very good. All his goals have a big element of luck. Donk, still thinking those three goals might prove Raynaldi's shooting skills and sense of the ball, but it might as well be luck. In that game, Raynaldi played an absolute rookie most of the time.

As long as he survives seriously, Donk is convinced that he will not give Raynaldi another chance. After half a season, Donk does not believe how much Raynaldi can improve. But this game overturned Donk's thinking.

Raynaldi's progress was beyond his imagination. Not only his technique, but also his experience on the field. It seemed like he was already used to this kind of melee defense. He is not too nervous and can handle the ball well under high pressure.

Donk himself is also a rookie. He made his debut two years ago. Last season was a major player in rotation. This season he really replaced him and was sent off by the head coach for a period of time. This is a normal trajectory of young players' development.

Thirty minutes after the game, both sides failed to score. Dynamo Aue was stronger, but his attacks were also rumbling and there was less rain. It's not without reason Dynamo Aue's poor record this season, and Koln Athletics have been playing back and forward, and it's strange that such a performance could compete for the championship.

On the contrary, it was the Athletic Koln who counterattacked vigorously. After Raynaldi adapted to this rhythm, it was already an important part of the team's counter-attack. Dynamo Aue's attack was once again blocked, and Promes saw an opportunity. Fight bravely and get rid of the ball.

Raynaldi quickly retreated to respond. Donk didn't follow, this time Raynaldi came back too deep, as a centre-back, he certainly couldn't keep up.

Coming up is Dezeu, the German midfielder. The German midfielder has a strong defensive ability. He grabbed the second point and set up a wave of attacks. Raynaldi did not dare to ignore. Facing a falling ball, Raynaldi pushed against Van Buren with his knee and turned around.

Dezeu also runs back, but he finds that he cannot catch up to Raynaldi at all.

“See him!” Dezeu's voice came out, and Donk was already there.

He retreated at Raynaldi and gave him no space to catch the ball, but Raynaldi has adapted to his opponent's pressure. He did not plan to run forward, but pulled to the side.

In a virtual stadium game, Raynaldi's response to this kind of defense is to move to a place unknown to the player.

If it was a midfielder, they would be oppressing their defensive line. If it is a defender, they will pull to the side. Not only can it help his team-mates take on defensive power, but it also gives Raynaldi a chance to get rid of his opponent.

Buhari saw Raynaldi very quickly, and a kick came straight in, Raynaldi shot from the diagonal side, carried the ball to the side, and then passed it back to Buhari.

Donk can only give up on Raynaldi, if he does not defend Buhari, he will go straight to the goalkeeper.

Raynaldi. He is free and there are wing-backs. However, he still scored energy and put in left-back Pollack after the defence. Buhari saw an opportunity and made an emergency stop and sent the ball to Raynaldi.

Raynaldi was already running back from the side, and Robert was already waiting inside in the penalty zone. But this is a direct shot without stopping the ball.

In the top left corner of the penalty box, Raynaldi offered his trademark "trick. A cold shot from a running kick hit the far corner of the goal. Dynamo Aue goalkeeper Romero could not make the save and the football fell into the net.
