Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 29 - Koln Athletics VS Dynamo Aue (3)

Joko Sasongko looked at Raynaldi, who was like a headless fly on the field, and felt a hint of worry in his heart.

“Is this decision correct?” Joko Sasongko.

As a practitioner, Joko Sasongko knows that the prospects of Indonesian players studying in Europe are really uncertain and very difficult.

Joko Sasongko stared at Raynaldi, and in the 35th minute the ball finally passed Dynamo Aue defenders and reached Raynaldi's feet again.

Raynaldi who saw the arrival of an opposing defender reached out his hand to keep his balance, and quickly passed the ball back to the midfielder behind him, and then ran forward.

Buhari who received Raynaldi's pass immediately returned the ball with a breakthrough pass forward.

Raynaldi finally escaped the opponent's offside trap, and faced one-on-one with the Dynamo Aue goalkeeper who was already preparing to close the corner of Raynaldi's shot.

He felt the distance between himself and the goalkeeper was too close and the angle of the shot was very narrow. Raynaldi gouged the ball with the back of his right foot, making the ball roll on the left side of the Dynamo Aue goalkeeper and making it fall due to loss of balance.

Raynaldi chased the ball and easily kicked the ball into the empty net turning the stand to 1-0 for Koln Athletics' lead.

Everything went by too quickly and left everyone present in the stadium speechless. A child who is constantly beaten and falls repeatedly takes advantage of an opportunity to change the game.

Raynaldi was already shouting and gliding in the right corner of the field. This was his first goal in the Professional League, and also his first goal in 2.Bundesliga.

“Son, you're really great! I thought you were going to be stopped by the opponent's goalkeeper!” Buhari approached Raynaldi with laughter. He was the first to become aware of Raynaldi's goal, and his other team-mates were still surprised by the quick goal process.

“Haha...I was also surprised by this goal, everything went quickly and I just followed my instincts.” Raynaldi also laughed happy with his goal.

“OK, continue boy asia.” Buhari returned to the side of Koln Athletics after patting Raynaldi on the back.

"Yes God! Good Lord! Oh God!" Andrei shouted three times in a row, and the table nearly broke with excitement.

He could not think about it, the boy he had underestimated earlier due to his poor performance instead changed the pace of the match with his one act. This kid changed the score with one shot!

Moreover, the action that tricks the Dynamo Aue goalkeeper is also extraordinary, whether it is intentional or not this goal will imprint on the memory of the opposing defender. Because this young attacker can tear their goal at any time.

The coaching staff on the sidelines, Thomas Sobek and Danny Hooks even forgot to celebrate, and it took two or three seconds before they realized the ball had been scored.

"Snake, have you seen it!"

"I saw."

"This is an amazing goal! Too fast!"

"That boy seems to be a different person! It's as if he sees the wicket as his prey."

On the bench, the newly promoted young players stared blankly at the two first-team coaches.

The match was followed by kick-off from Dynamo Aue.

Raynaldi was again brought down repeatedly with physical confrotation as well as tactical fouls. Although he knew the movements the opposing team made were harmless and only tactical level, Raynaldi was still very upset by this kind of treatment.

The most confrontation with Raynaldi was Dynamo centre-back Ryan Donk who had taken care of him after he scored. This 20-year-old young defender is very famous these days. He was voted the best team in the European Youth Championship and is arguably one of the best defenders in the European Youth Championship a year ago.

He has all the natural conditions of a centre-back. It is 1.87 meters high and weighs 80 kilograms. He is strong and has a strong defense. As a black man, he has excellent physical flexibility, fast turning speed, strong frontal confrontation, and excellent header ability.

Some confrontations, Donk wins without tension.

"Little fool, why did you come here to play football? If you can only fall after a little touch, why not go home for some milk?"

"Hey! This is not the place you should be!"

"I heard you Asians are very small and the ball stinks, so hurry back to your hometown!"

Donk is not only strong in defense, but his mouth also stinks. Raynaldi ignored his provocation and focused on the field.

However, Donk's strength was indeed very strong. Raynaldi has picked up the ball several times and he has no way to play under his defence. A strong, bull-like Donk will force the ball as soon as Raynaldi gets the ball. This type of bar-bar muscle defense like this was unrivalled in the junior team.

Raynaldi was still caught up in a hard fight with Donk, and the reason was also very intuitive. Raynaldi's team-mates and Athletic Colleagues did not understand Raynaldi's characteristics, even after the goals created their style of play was still the same.

The former center of the Koln Athletics team, Robert, is also a strong type. He can perform a certain pedestal role on the front pitch. Without this pedestal, the team's attack felt less comfortable. Especially for Raynaldi who is on the frontcourt.

Raynaldi returned unseen after a flash of his goal, he was again drowned out by opposing confrontations and repeatedly dropped.

“That opportunity must be made alone.” Thought Raynaldi.

When the time came forty minutes, Dynamo Aue who had been attacking since the 20th minute, the momentum began to slow down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Koln Athletics got the ball, but there was no chance to counter-attack.

The game again became stagnant, and the ball continued to dwell in the middle of the field. Several times Koln Athletics released a cross into the penalty box but Raynaldi always failed to compete for the ball.

"The Dynamo Aue attack has weakened, now I miss Robert so much! If he was still on the field at the moment, his header would definitely cause them trouble." Andre commented and watched as the court retreated to the middle, and the ball near the field line: "Just now, I've got information about our striker."

“Raynaldi was a player of the Leverkusen SC Team before, he managed to become the German Youth League Top Score with a score of 35 goals in 18 games that are truly amazing in the Youth League.”

"To be honest, Ray's ability level is still fine. It's just that his physique is too weak and he's too easy to drop Dynamo Aue defenders. And other than his first goal, he hasn't been seen in the game until now! Ah, maybe I'm too tight. Koln Athletics... Shoot!"

Andrei, who was just talking about Raynaldi, saw Raynaldi shooting from 30 meters away. And the ball bounced high towards the goal Dynamo Aue.
