Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 102: Second - Half

The second half went not as expected by the Cananga Youth Mining player. They all thought, Sugar Crossed FC players will play more calm and relaxed in the second half because they are already 2 goals ahead. But even what happened, Sugar Crossed FC players played more pressing even more than what happened in the first half.

Although Cananga Youth Mining players managed to withstand all that pressure, they used all their abilities just to survive the onslaught of the enemy. They still couldn't do much in the second half, even when the game had been going for 70 minutes, they are still holding on and fighting for Sugar Crossed FC to not double the score once again or it will turn off their hopes of winning today.

The plan that they put together in the dressing room during the break was effective enough to stop the movement of Tori Marukawa and also Hilmawan Yoga, but the quality of other Sugar Crossed FC players also turned out to be underestimated. Several times other Sugar Crossed FC players get golden opportunities, but fortunately Derry has started to heat up by successfully registering 3 important saves in this second half.

Same thing that's happening right now. Because Marukawa is being guarded by Zaki and Romeo who make it can not do much, finally Sugar Crossed FC players who took the initiative to attack without involving Marukawa. After making good and beautiful short passes, they managed to step into the Cananga Youth Development team's penalty box.

Back-numbered 7 Sugar Crossed FC who position as a flank player immediately kick into the goal after seeing there is a gap from the Cananga Youth Mining team's defense, Cananga Youth, but Derry Yanuar Pinto Rosario managed to catch the ball perfectly and thwart again the effort of Sugar Crossed FC players to add to the score.

"Good Derry! Hold Derry!" the other Cananga Youth Development players were quite happy with Derry's performance today.

Derry wanted to kick the ball far ahead of him, but when he almost kicked the ball he immediately broke his initial intention and began to think a little about getting out of this very uncomfortable situation.

"If I kick straight ahead, it would be a pity because we just got the ball after a long time losing the ball" he said in his heart, then Derry tried to see his colleagues who were now standing in their respective positions.

Derry had another 6 seconds before he had to take the ball out of his hand. In that narrow time he finally got the answer, Derry just gave a short pass to Bagas who was nearby.

Bagas was of course a little surprised at first, as it was not usual for Derry to do such a thing. But as Bagas looked into Derry's eyes, he could tell what Derry was thinking and he had to do the same with what Derry was thinking.

But seeing the short ball alone given by Derry made Yoga smile in his heart, he immediately put pressure on Bagas who currently controlled the ball. Bagas saw Yoga running towards him very quickly, clearly visible from his face that Yoga would snatch the ball from his feet at all costs.

But Bagas remained calm. He didn't lose himself, he calmed down like water in a container. When Yoga was about to seize the ball at his feet, Bagas immediately pulled his right foot that held the ball, then with his left foot he gave the ball to Galih who was beside him, deceptive Yoga Hilmawan very clearly.

The switch that gets the ball directly gives a pass to the front where the ball is directly received by Romeo. Marukawa immediately guarded against Romeo, he closed the space that Romeo could use to provide bait or make individual movements.

But despite being held up like that Romeo still wants to pass Marukawa. Romeo ran round, towards the right flank side and as the right full-back of the new Cananga Youth Mining entered in the second half named Ridha Azzhari ran in that direction, Romeo gave the ball to him.

Ridha Azzhari immediately ran carrying the ball through the flank side, seeing that Axel Raihan who was initially in that position immediately moved in the other direction. Ridha Azzhari saw Axel Raihan running into a good position and immediately gave him a pass. Then after that Axel immediately ran fast to make a stabbing movement that surprised Sugar Crossed FC players.

"Cover up that player's moves!" the Sugar Crossed FC goalkeeper immediately shouted to tell his back players to immediately close the pace of Axel Raihan, because he could feel the threat from the figure of Axel Raihan.

Backer Sugar Crossed FC immediately did what was ordered, but it was not difficult for Axel Raihan to pass all obstacles from them. Axel Raihan managed to pass all Sugar Crossed FC players, move like Lionel Messi when passing his opponents.

Axel Raihan is getting ready to kick, but because the opponent's goalkeeper has advanced finally the shooting room was narrowed. "I have to kick this ball and score!" axel said in his heart.

Axel had almost kicked the ball, but somehow his instincts said otherwise. Axel glanced beside him, it turned out that there was Rizaldi who had run to get a bait ball from him. Therefore Axel prefers to pass the ball to Rizaldi, then Rizaldi just do a tap-in to the goal that was empty to jump it.

Rizaldi immediately ran to celebrate the goal, but Sugar Crossed FC players immediately protested to the referee for assuming the goal was because they considered Rizaldi had entered into an off-side trap.

But the referee still declared the goal legitimate and Cananga Youth Mining managed to reduce their lag. After being declared the goal was legitimate, Rizaldi immediately hugged Axel Raihan because of his incredible assist earlier.

Axel Raihan also celebrated the goal, although in fact he still felt there was a contradiction that occurred. He felt he should have scored with his own ability at the time, but his instinct instead made him pass the ball to Rizaldi and let Rizaldi score.

But Axel did not want to think about it again, he refocused himself to make an opportunity again that can be used to score goals. This time he wanted to score, the sensation he felt was still left in the bottom of his heart and made him motivated to score.

After the goal that occurred in the 73rd minute, the game Sugar Crossed FC suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees. Sugar Crossed FC players are directly suppressed by Cananga Youth Mining players.

Zaki and Romeo make it harder for Tori Marukawa to move freely, especially Zaki Iskandar who is always there wherever Tori Marukawa is and it really irritates the Japanese player.

"Why with this guy? He always sticks wherever I am" said Tori Marukawa who began to fret about what Zaki Iskandar was doing.

Even if Zaki Iskandar hears Tori Marukawa's heart, Zaki will follow wherever Tori Marukawa moves. Tori Marukawa lost the ball again by Zaki Iskandar.

Zaki immediately gave a pass to Rizaldi, and from Rizaldi he immediately made individual movements to move to the opposing team's penalty box.

But Yoga Hilmawan directly down the mountain to block Rizaldi Fatah. "I won't let you through!" he said with a half-vague voice.

Yoga directly do the body charge to Rizaldi that makes Rizaldi's body slightly shake because it is not ready to receive the blow. In that imbalance, Rizaldi saw the figure of Axel who was in the best position according to his observations.

Directly Rizaldi gave a passing to the point where Axel Raihan was. Although giving a passing when dropped, Rizaldi's passing is still accurate and landed right at the foot of Axel Raihan who just immediately he kicked by taking a first-time shot directed at the opposing team's goal.

Goalkeeper Sugar Crossed FC had tried to hold the kick, but the ball drifted slightly higher than him so that the ball went into the goal and changed the score again to 2-2.

No one believed in the goal, not even Cananga Youth Mining fans who were present at the stadium did either. But it was indeed a spectacular goal created thanks to the skills of Axel Raihan. He really did, he really scored today and this time he felt like he couldn't be stopped.
