Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 28 - Koln Athletics VS Dynamo Aue (2)

Game's starting.

Ten minutes later, Raynaldi made the breakthrough and was ruthlessly dropped to the ground by Dynamo Aue's centre-back, Raynaldi climbing up and staring at the referee who blew the whistle of the foul without issuing a card.

Finally, there was an attack and a chance to get the ball, but Dynamo Aue did not give the slightest face to the young recruit, Raynaldi.

This is the Professional League.

2.The Bundesliga may not be the top league in Germany, but Raynaldi has seen a huge gap between youth and professional league games.

I won't mention the win for now. With Raynaldi's current performance, even if he could score, it might be difficult to reach level 8 points. Unless he can score more than two goals, there is no performance other than scoring goals. Can't get up.

Raynaldi stood back up and rushed straight into the box to receive a set-piece free-kick. However, the ball was eventually caught by the opponent's goalkeeper before he had time to act.

"He played too hesitantly and did not dare to collide directly with the opponent." After nearly 20 minutes, Sobek said to the assistant coach next to him, "In fact, we have to look for an experienced attacker, at least not to be afraid in such a situation."

Assistant coach Danny Hooks, and team manager Jurgen Meyer were teammates at Koln FC before.

“I think, don't underestimate the people that Jurgen and Abel found.” Danny looked up at the pitch and said: “Abel was indeed very abnormal when he found a player like that, so for sure he has good ability in one aspect. And also, Jurgen was a stubborn and hard person to convince except with the real facts."

Sobek's sharp eyes glared at Danny. "I know you have a better relationship with your old teammates, but you can't defend him like this."

"What I want to say is that he's really played well in the German Youth League, scoring 35 goals in 18 games is a respectable result." Danny recalls Raynaldi's appearance in the German Youth League.

"Isn't it just a kids' league? The professional game is much different from the youth team's game." Sobek sneering.

"I also think the same as you, but what's wrong with seeing her appearance first? Besides, we don't have another attacker's choice." Danny also understands Sobek's intentions but the condition of the team is like this and as a coach we cannot choose.

They are not very satisfied with the performances of the players on the pitch, but what can they do? The team is in a slump and needs a win, and the striker is still a stinking boy, and there is nothing to do.

"Finally we saw the striker of the Koln Athletics team today.he." Game 2.The Bundesliga is not very much noticed. Only local TV and radio broadcasts on both sides of the game covered. Koln TV football commentator Andrei Carrol introduced fans to the situation on the pitch. But this striker, he really doesn't know who it is, because he was a Koln Athletic fan from the start of the team's formation. Andrei is very familiar with everything about Koln Athletics, including the youth teams. If you send Hanks or Derek from the junior team, he can report his name.

But today was very difficult for him.

“Who is this guy?” Thought Andrei.

After a closer look, I found that this player was the face of Asia, and Andrei realized that there was no player named Raynaldi in the youth training camp, but he would not say his name, he said, which was a bit embarrassing for a while.

"When did he come to the team? I've never heard of a player like that before. Looks like he's playing really bad."

Andrei's right. Raynaldi's performance was not good, but it was just a microcosm of the team's performance. It's normal for them to perform badly after the drop in conditions in the last few games.

Raynaldi's performance was worse. In almost twenty minutes, Raynaldi only touched the ball seven times, and the first time was kick-off.

On the second touch take the ball and do a simple cooperation with his team-mates. The ball was intercepted by Dynamo Aue. At the fifth touch, he found no place to pass and he could only try to break through with the ball, and the person who was hit turned behind him.

In addition to kick-off, Raynaldi has experienced two turnovers. It was Raynaldi's first twenty minutes in the professional league. It was also the first professional league for young Raynaldi.

Under heavy press pressure from Dynamo Aue, Raynaldi and his team-mates struggled to organise attacks.

In this match, Dynamo Aue offers a 4-3-2-1 formation. In other words the opposing team threw seven defenders onto the field. In addition, the large number of Dynamo Aue players on the backcourt made Raynaldi difficult to connect with his team-mates.

On the frontcourt, Raynaldi's repeated run is not so important. When Dynamo Aue dominated the midfield possession area, Raynaldi's greatest advantage was unusable, and he could only run like a headless fly on the frontcourt.

Joko Sasongko also sat among the fans to watch the match.

Raynaldi is the first Indonesian player to play in 2.Bundesliga since its inception. And his appearance this time also opened a new history of Indonesian players in Europe after previously Kurniawan who played with AC Venice in the third and second league Italy for three seasons.

In India, no one knows him. Only his mother knew that Raynaldi was playing football in Germany. His loan to Koln Athletics is also known to very few people.

"his name... Raynaldi Indrasta, Indonesian striker. Well, the name is a bit difficult to pronounce and is completely different from what we are used to... The name is difficult, the front of the name is Ray, why don't we just call him that?”

"It should be noted that he is from Indonesia. This is a country that has never participated in a world cup. I have never heard of this country except about Bali and its Beef. It is a country with many islands. Some people say that this country is very beautiful. Others say that the country has a lot of problems. Before I understand, I don't want to talk much, at least not yet. I just wish Ray could bring something to Koln."

"This boy seems to have played in the German Youth League, and even became the top scorer with 35 goals. But the Youth League and the Professional League are different, can this boy also put on the same show here?"

Andrei said sentence by sentence, from asking questions to showing Raynaldi's track record in Germany.
