Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 62 - Wiesbaden (3)

Raynaldi's celebration was finally over, after he received a verbal warning from the referee not to perform celebrations that could lead to conflict again. At the same time, the screams and mockings of Wiesbaden fans still echoed throughout the stadium. However, Raynaldi who became the object of contempt only considered it the wind then.

“Koln Athletics returned to play less than three minutes after Wiesbaden scored.” Andrei said the match might be interesting.

It's just that Koln Athletics can make the game interesting, and still must be in accordance with the strategy.

Today, Raynaldi's performance surprised Andrei, not just his free-kick, but Raynaldi's skill level elsewhere.

“Is he more confident than before? Nah! But obviously Raynaldi can control the ball better than before.” Thought Thomas Sobek.

The ability to control the ball has always been a weakness of Raynaldi. He always made fatal blows with surprise. But in this game, he dared to take the ball and dared to make movements, better ball catching performance, and fewer mistakes.

Previously, even if Andrei was unwilling to admit it, he had to say that Raynaldi did not perform well enough for most of the time to be a player in the 2.Bundesliga.

Now he finally has the basic level of a professional player. Of course, just one game can't explain much, but at least it's a good phenomenon.

This shows that he has made great progress. A young player of this age is an important stage of technical finalisation. It is definitely good news to make significant progress at this age, which suggests that Raynaldi technology still has plenty of room for improvement.

He can be a better and more comprehensive attacker and shooter.

Raynaldi is still looking for opportunities, now the score back series, Wiesbaden must continue to attack, so Raynaldi can find more opportunities.

Vlaar was very careful this time. He told right-back Greene to help him pay attention to Raynaldi. The physical confrontation just now made him not dare to look down on Raynaldi. He even felt that he could not defeat Raynaldi in a physical confrontation.

Right-back Greene is skeptical. Looking at the Asian man, he had no muscles in his body and looked rather thin. He is not tall and not strong. He was confused as to why Vlaar had failed to take him down.

Greene is not tall, but his physical fitness is very good, but his pace is not good, so when playing full back is more silent and focused on his defence, there is not much pressure on assists, however, the team mainly played the other side of veteran captain Antonio Heitmar on the other side.

So Greene came back and had plenty of opportunities to challenge Raynaldi. At the end of Vlaar, when the two met for the first time, Greene gained some strength. Raynaldi got a pass from the side at the moment. He intends to control the ball, but is instantly dropped by Greene.

Greene looks like a calf to Raynaldi this time. He suddenly dropped Raynaldi onto the ground. Raynaldi lay on the ground to see the referee. Without any indication, he had no choice but to stand up and re-enter the game.

On the sidelines, Thomas Sobek could not sit idly by, he had just seen complaints about Greene's offense on the fourth official's side, but the fourth official ignored it and could not stand it anymore, either, so he warned Thomas Sobek.

On the field, Greene looked at Vlaar and said with her eyes that this person did not seem to be great. Vlaar also looked at Raynaldi strangely. Vlaar can feel that Raynaldi is not strong but should be a good balance player.

Vlaar did not think much, and continued to enter the game.

If you have a teammate like that, maybe you can score a lot of goals.

The score in the first half was 1-1. This is something that many fans did not expect before the game, including Koln Athletics fans. Wiesbaden's mistake was also a free kick they had never seen before. There's a nuclear bomb like that in this kid's arsenal.

“Actually, thinking about the free-kick that Ray does well is normal. His long-range shooting skills were already very good. He also had a good performance in swinging his legs and firing a shot on the spot.”

“A completely static free kick will have better scoring possibilities. So when Ray takes a free kick no one can doubt it as a better option!" Andrei said here, adding: "If our free-kick was played by Ray before, would we be able to win more games?"

The players of Koln Athletics were very excited in the dressing room during the halftime break. Because they get shocking news during the break. The three teams that are on top of them are having poor results in this week's game. Armina Oldenburg drew with Chemnitz, and most surprisingly 1.Mainz were beaten by DJK Wurzburg who was still struggling for relegation.

With the two news that they had just obtained, if they managed to win this match then they would cut the difference in points with the top three ranking. So their chances of promotion to the Bundesliga will be even greater.

Thomas Sobek asked the players loudly in the dressing room about what their goals were at the start of the season and the players replied emphatically that their goal was to promote to the Bundesliga.

Raynaldi did not experience the ups and downs of the team at the start of the season, so he could only nod his head. The team-mates roared to make Wiesbaden look good, but Raynaldi was not a spirited person, as long as he was on the pitch.

"Ray, you've performed better than ever in the game. You must be the type of player I want." Thomas Sobek said to Raynaldi. "Good free kick."

Buhari also stepped forward. "Boss, give all the free-kicks in the future, his footwork is great!"

"No way." The rejection of Thomas Sobek was straightforward, and Buhari and Raynaldi were both shocked.

"But if Ray wants to take it while on the field, then give it away." Continue Thomas Sobek lightly.

"Eh. It's okay." Buhari was puzzled by what his head coach wanted, but he still nodded in agreement.

Raynaldi looked at his head coach inexplicably, and suddenly recalled that Thomas Sobek said that he was the coach who used Raynaldi the most, and that might be true.

However he is still inexperienced to take free kicks and maybe Thomas Sobek thinks that previous free kicks aside from the ability factor there is also a factor of luck and unpreparedness of opposing players.

For example, if Raynaldi asks for a free kick, you should give it. If Raynaldi still shoots accurately, it might be a goal.

Thomas Sobek still understands Raynaldi's ability well, he has good shooting ability and as long as he gets the position he is fit for a free kick then he might be able to score a few more goals.
