Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 105: Their Confidence

Towards the final round, both teams diligently trained and earnest. Because this was the party they were waiting for, from the group stage to the beginning of the preliminary round. They had waited and fought for a very long time to get here, there had been many sacrifices they had made to arrive at this place. Their blood, sweat and tears were at stake just to get here.

A team that is slightly seeded because it feels like playing at home, namely Batavia Fort FC train in earnest today ahead of their match against Cananga Youth Mining which will take place on Saturday night alias Sunday night.

Several reporters came to their closed training ground, despite warnings from some club staff, but still the reporters insisted on getting inside the pitch where the Batavia Fort FC players were training, on a very sunny morning at the moment.

One of the journalists, there is a figure of the Indonesian U-17 national team coach candidate later that is Igarashi Maeda. But no one was aware of the young coach, who dressed up as a freelance journalist and wore a mask and sunglasses to hide his identity.

The goal of Igarashi Maeda here is, he wants to take a closer look at players who might be his choice when he takes the U-17 national team. Two of his target players are of course key players from the Batavia Fort FC team, namely Wildan Hutami and also Raffi Putra.

Seeing the ability of both of them, making the 37-year-old coach was slammed. Wildan Hutami with his versatility, and Raffi Putra with his defensive and attacking abilities are very balanced. In his head there are already some schemes that he might implement in the team if it was time he would start his work.

After a long time standing near the stadium closed training ground Batavia Fort FC team. Igarashi Maeda could see the Batavia Fort FC players are out of training, it looks like they have finished training and will probably continue to the next training menu.

Seeing the players of Batavia Fort FC who have come out one by one, the reporters immediately moved to wonder to all of them. But the staff of the team tried their best to keep the reporters from disrupting the team while training like this.

But unexpectedly, the head coach of the Batavia Fort FC team was willing to accept the reporters to quench their thirst for statements from the team. News journalists from television station A, gave the first question of the day to the head coach of the Batavia Fort FC team.

"How does the coach prepare for the final match?" ask the first journalist.

The head coach of the Batavia Fort team answered him casually, like answering a question from a small child who asked about which is better between grass and rice. "Preparation is going well, the team is in top condition and we are ready for the final. The players are also looking forward to meeting their opponents"

Journalists and journalists nodded slowly at the confident answer, then the other journalist raised his hand and asked another question. "In your opinion as the head coach of the team, how will your assessment of the opponent you will face in the final round later. With the status of the defending champion challenger, does your team not experience fear or groggy?"

The head coach of the Batavia Fort FC team still calmly answered him. "We are of course scared" he said, but he still did not finish his sentence. "But, we all train earnestly to overcome our fears. Although the opposing team had ups and downs in the group phase, but they showed the quality and mentality of their defending champions in this knockout phase and it was certainly scary for all of us" he said.

The Batavia Fort FC team staff had almost stopped journalists and journalists from asking questions, but the coach of the team stopped them from snapping at the journalists and journalists and he prepared to give an answer that left them all speechless and satisfied with what they heard today from his mouth.

Before saying, he looked into all the eyes that had been staring at him like he was going to devour him round and round, like he was hoping that he would make a mistake that they could use to further corner him. But for the 55-year-old Argentine, Demichelis Santon, he has no fear at all.

Demichelis said with a half-joking face. "Losing? We don't think about it at all, there's no losing word in our game dictionary. We will win and become champions in this edition" After saying that, all the journalists and journalists immediately excited to hear his words.

Coach Demichelis Santon began walking towards where he would gather with other players, the reporters and journalists again followed the figure of coach Demichelis who made the team staff again overwhelmed to dispel them.

However, before he returned to continue their training, coach Demichelis returned to where the reporters were and took the mic unilaterally and went back to saying. "What I said was not a prediction, but a spoiler!" he said and in the end he actually left there after causing quite a severe mess.

Igarashi Maeda, who heard all the remarks from the head coach of the Batavia Fort FC team, Demichelis Santon, was quite satisfied with it. The confidence shown by Coach Demichelis made him quite confident in the ability of Batavia Fort FC players later in the final.

Igarashi Maeda believes that this team will give a big surprise that will surprise all parties in the final, he can not wait to see the match later. Not to mention that he will see some names that he has put on the list, will fight as hard as they can to realize their dream of winning I-Youth.

While writing a report on his smart tablet, Igarashi Maeda walked out of the place where the Batavia Fort FC team did a closed-door exercise. On the tablet it is now seen data of every player Mining Cananga Youth who will be the opponent of Batavia Fort FC in the final later.

Some of the names on his tablet screen are players who have stood out in the last few games. Axel Raihan, Dery Yanuar and Martin are on the list. In addition to the three of them, there is also one name that is so striking during this preliminary round match. In the last game yesterday alone, he managed to get back the title as man of the match for the fourth time.

His name is Rizaldi Fatah. One name that makes Igarashi Maeda so wonder, how the talent like himself was just seen on the radar like this. But now Rizaldi is a little worried. In the last game, he was hit hard and had to come off on a stretcher and many speculated that he had suffered a serious injury.

It also made Igarashi Maeda worried, he was quite afraid that what he heard was true, even though he was very hopeful with the figure of Rizaldi Fatah and wanted to continue to see his actions on the field.

"I'd better visit their place, who knows I can get the latest news about his condition" said Igarashi Maeda and himself immediately went to the place where the Cananga Youth Mining team was located.
