Football: King of Penalty Area
Ch. 09 - Dormitory and Training Friends

It had been two days since the amateur match in the city park. Currently the digital clock shows the number 05:30 and Raynaldi is already on the training field for the junior team. He decided to do a few rounds of jogging to keep his stamina.

After finishing jogging, Raynaldi took a ten-minute break as he watched the digital clock in his hand turn to 06:00. After a short rest he went on to train in dribbling and his technical abilities.

After an hour of dribbling and technical ability, Raynaldi walked to the cafeteria to get his diet food. In the first half of the year Raynaldi will receive a diet dish for breakfast until dinner, to reduce body fat levels and increase the amount of muscle. This was what Andre Thomas had suggested to him, and Raynaldi who was aware of his low confrontational power also immediately agreed.

In the cafeteria Raynaldi took a set of his diet dishes containing meat steaks, vegetable salads, as well as fruit juices without added sugar. At first Raynaldi could barely swallow this flavorless food, but after walking for more than a month he finally got used to it.

“Now I know why most players will fall when they start to become famous, maintaining this diet alone is already very painful.” Raynaldi muttered while eating his food.

After finishing eating his food, Raynaldi rested for a while while playing his cellphone. Raynaldi holds the Nakia 7N handheld phone output this year. When he saw his phone there was a touch of nostalgia because in his previous life he also had a phone with the same specifcation.

“In my previous world the popular hp product was N*kia and here the name changed to Nakia?” Raynaldi who has been in the world for several months also found many differences between his former world and this world.

It seems like except for the currency, the name of the country, the place, and the city almost everything changed. Raynaldi also felt confused because it was as if only his family was not different between the two worlds. “Or there may be many other equations that I still don't know?” Raynaldi.

“Let us, the old world is gone. Now I am Raynaldi Indrasta in this world.” Raynaldi erased his strange thoughts and returned to his dorm room to take a bath.

Raynaldi walked about 1 kilometer towards the two-story building with many doors in front of him. This is the junior hostel, where all players who are not from Leverkusen live. Raynaldi saw a building with five rooms on each floor with an area of each dormitory of 8 x 8 meters, then stepped back to his room on the second floor.

After Raynaldi entered the dorm room he saw a familiar face in the living room. “Victor, so you're one hostel with me.” Raynaldi's greeting to the black man in front of him.

“Iya, Ray. I just arrived and was told my hostel number.” Victor answered kindly.

“You can pick up the room on the left, because the one on the right is already in use. In addition, if you feel hungry at night, there are fruits and low-fat milk in the refrigerator.” Raynaldi explained the dormitory's condition to Victor.

“I know, thanks Ray. I'll prepare my room first.” Victor took his suitcase and luggage to the room on the left.

“Iya, I will also use the bathroom first. And also do not forget, training starts at 09:00.” Raynaldi headed to his room to pick up a bath and change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

After finishing rinsing himself, Raynaldi returned to the room to call his family and tell them he was fine.

“It's almost 08:30. Come prepare to return to the training ground.” Raynaldi came out of his room and saw Victor carrying a sling bag.

“Ray, let's go to the training ground.” Bring Victor.

. . . . .

Victor and Raynaldi walked from the dormitory to the training ground for approximately 15 minutes. After arriving in the dressing room, they saw that some of the other teammates had changed into training uniforms.

“Victor, your locker number 23 is in the corner of the last number. Ray your locker number 21.” Alex Khan captains Leverkusen SC youth teams to tell Victor and Raynaldi where their lockers are.

“Thanks, Alex.” Raynaldi immediately switched to his locker after thanking Alex. He knew the captain of this junior team had a firm and somewhat stiff nature that barely matched his lifespan.

After ten minutes almost all of the junior team members were already in the dressing room and most were already wearing their training uniforms. Tony Wener assistant coach of the youth team enters the dressing room.

“You all get out of this place immediately to the training ground!” Tony said concisely and firmly, then walked out of the dressing room.

Seeing Tony already out of the dressing room all the junior players followed him to the training ground. Ray knew that in the youth team, Tony would show a fierce and grumpy face, while junior team coach Timo Mayer was a kind old man.

After arriving at the training ground, Timo Mayer was already preparing in his position with a large muscular man.

“You can start marching.” Timo said kindly.

Seeing Timo being friendly, Raynaldi could only hold back his thoughts. “Truly nice old man.” But Raynaldi has often seen a coach like this in his previous life, a coach can behave ‘baik’ because they have an assistant who plays the position of ‘setan’ in the team.

“Include, the one standing next to me is Jorge Van der Berg. He is a physical trainer who is also a major in sports, University of Turin. Since the first team is on vacation right now, I asked him to personally arrange your physical training.” Timo introduced the muscular man next to him.

Jorge Van der Berg only smiled as he nodded, but somehow Raynaldi and the others felt his smile was a bit scary. “Now our main training material is physical and Engineering training. It is now May and the youth league will be from July to January. So we have one month to adjust your physique.” Tony explained the training in brief.

“Next we will start testing your physical condition, before determining the appropriate training method for each player. We will arrange the physical training method that best suits your position and physical condition respectively after.” Continue Tony.

“OK, for the next physical test will be led directly by Jorge. You can follow the directives.” Timo immediately threw a physical assessment task at Jorge who better understood the physical aspect.

“Alright, looks like you guys are getting a good two-month vacation. I can see it from the smiles on your faces.” Jorge said chuckling.

“But I hope your test results also meet professional standards after this physical exam, or you have to taste the hell floor for a while.” Jorge was still smiling but the players who had been in the team for a long time started to shudder in fear.

“Damn it, we don't want that hell training.” The old players murmured in his heart.
