Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 16 - Second Round Final (Gelserkichen FC Yunior)

Raynaldi's goal helped the team restore the scoring lead, and coach Timo immediately firmly replaced Herman Fuchs with Jan Peters. In Timo's mind this advantage must be brought to the end, therefore he replaced an attacker with a centre-back and changed the formation to 5-4-1.

In addition, Raynaldi also found other phenomena on the field, and at least there will be one defender who teru sticking like leather plaster. Raynaldi sees the centre-back who keeps following him and sometimes also pulls his jersey so as not to miss his movement.

Although there was also a small movement to pull the jersey and others, but this was the first time a man to man guard was done on him. “Looks like I can't fool them anymore.” Thought Raynaldi.

The previous goal that looked fortuitous was not entirely a coincidence, Raynaldi was already planning to pick up the rebound ball. In his mind, Raynaldi would have been fine if Herman had scored, but if the ball had been pushed over by the goalkeeper, Raynaldi would have been able to put him to good use. Because of that, Raynaldi can stand in the right position while others are still focused on the ball.

Head coach Gelserkichen who saw Raynaldi's movement that was not as free as before said with a smile to the assistant coach next to him. “See, now he will start to get confused by how to get rid of the person who attached him tightly. Although this guy is indeed a genius at scoring goals, he is still a rookie as a soccer player.”

Assistant coach Gelserkichen who was also observing the match nodded in agreement when he saw Raynaldi's movements starting to stiffen and not as free as before. “As expected of the former Germany national team attacker, he was able to think of ways to reduce the effect of an attacker well.” Her thought.

The match resumed with possession under the control of Team Junior Gelserkichen FC, they tried to organize the attack with a combination of short passes and a breakthrough with speed.

Due to Tim Leverkusen's reduced stamina and physique, Team Junior Gelserkichen took charge of the game in the final fifteen minutes of the second half and pressed the game into the Leverkusen half of the pitch.

Although Leverkusen can still hold him back with great difficulty, and the cheers on the pitch continue. Coaches from both sides were screaming in the stadium from time to time. The team of Yunior Leverkusen who unleashed sporadic attacks in midfield and up front at the start of the second half began to defend fully in the half of the pitch.

Leverkusen can defend the same tactics, because the tactical effect is very good, but it consumes too much energy. If you continue, maybe like the last fifteen minutes of the first half, the game is completely taken over by Team Yunior Gelserkichen and again lost in the last minute of the game.

In the 35th minute of the second half, Gelserkichen again launched an attack through the middle lane. The Number 9 striker got the chance to shoot in the penalty area, and lifting his right leg was a shot into a close corner.

Mark easily saw the direction of the opposing striker's shot, with a swift he jumped and caught the ball easily.

Three minutes later, Team Yunior Leverkusen made a 45-degree diagonal pass into the restricted area. Raynaldi took advantage of his position and pressed the opposing defender while taking the opportunity to complete the shot. However, unfortunately the kick is higher than the crossbar.

The two teams attacked each other and defended alternately, and the match situation re-entered a stalemate. In this case, who could take the lead in breaking the deadlock would be the team taking the initiative on the field. In the 39th minute of the second half, Team Yunior Gelserkichen launched an attack from the right and made a pass from the side.

Mark deftly jumped and caught the ball in the air, then immediately released a big kick with his foot to launch a quick counterattack. The ball flies far forward, passing half the field.

Look at the ball soaring high. Raynaldi who was standing near the middle circle, immediately rushed forward at full speed after determining the location of the falling ball.

"Block him!" Jerome who was already late turned around shouted at his teammates.

However, Raynaldi with his predictive ability instantly determined the ball's falling position and ran efficiently. After stopping the ball with one touch, Raynaldi bravely returned to using a loop shoot when he saw the goalkeeper position is too advanced.

“S*al, why did this b*jtan come off again?!” The players of Team Yunior Gelserkichen were upset by Raynaldi's actions and also disappointed by their performances. Even after being given direction by the head coach to stick Raynaldi as tightly as possible, they still let him off the hook.

The referee's effective goal whistle sounded after the ball entered the net, and the whistle was quickly overshadowed by cheers from the bench of Leverkusen's Junior Team.

On the other hand, the fans who were watching the match also started to think. “When did Team Yunior Leverkusen recruit such a dazzling person? In addition, he is still seen as an Asian player who rarely appears in Europe.”

“Hahaha... Ray, did you actually score a hat trick on your debut?!”

“Great, Ray!”

“This is hattrick!”

Raynaldi's team-mates immediately swarmed in to celebrate Raynaldi's goal. However, with his goal now almost certainly the team reached victory, however, there was less than five minutes of normal time left for the second half.

The distance between the two teams is not too far away, so it is still easy to keep the goal from conceding as long as they defend properly, in other words the victory of this match is already in the pocket.

“See, Tony. This kid is really a guy who was born to score goals, he is the purest, most talented attacker I have seen.” Timo who saw Raynaldi finish the hat trick immediately tested it with the highest praise.

“He can really take advantage of any opportunity to score, his talent as a striker is incredible. Unfortunately, he did not get professional training since young, and his physique is still far from the standard of five major league players.” Tony, who recognizes Raynaldi's talent, also regrets his physical condition and mediocre technique.

“I also know about it, Tony. But in the plan I made for him was to be in the Junior Team and Reserve Team until he was 17 or 18 while training his physique and techniques more. After that, he will become a super attacker when stepping on Bundesliga.” Timo voiced his plans.

“Yes, this is indeed a good plan Timo.” Tony nodded in agreement with Timo's plan.

Meanwhile, in the command area of the Gelserkichen Yunior Team. Head coach Gelserkichen who saw Raynaldi's goal only shook his head, however he also could not blame his team's defenders, as no player could finish the game without making a mistake.

“This is actually not a big mistake, besides the distance the ball fell and the goal is still quite far. Unfortunately, Raynaldi's boy was also quite calm and after seeing the forward position of our goalkeeper, firmly took the option to do a loop shoot and end this game faster.” Head coach Gelserkichen sees his players are already trying their best, but Raynaldi is better able to take advantage of small chances to become a goal.

“You can send me a record of the results of this match, both our team and our opponent. We will use it for the evaluation and improvement of the players.” Gelserkichen's head coach orders to his assistant.

“Raynaldi, this name may surprise the world of football in the future.”
