Rizaldi Fatah really surprised all parties. After successfully completing the exercise very well even though he was still in a state of injury. Yesterday Rizaldi managed to complete his separate training, even though he had been in pain and even had to be stopped by Coach Satria training.
But in the last physical exercise of the day, Rizaldi was allowed to train with the others and it surprised all his other colleagues. Rizaldi did walk still a little abnormal because sometimes the pain was back, because actually his knee was still not healed. The ointment item Rizaldi bought at the system store was just an ointment cream to ease his pain, not cure.
The limit of the effect was also there, after Rizaldi applied the cream or ointment, the effect can last for 7 hours only. After that Rizaldi will again feel the pain of extraordinary pain after he forced himself to move. In fact, ointment drugs are like doping that is often used by athletes to increase adrenaline so that they will be focused on one point and not pay attention to anything else, even pain though.
But according to Boro, the system owned by Rizaldi. Rizaldi was safe to use the ointment and would not be discovered if it was a doping. Either came from where the confidence of the Boro said that but Rizaldi also believed just like that with Boro without thinking about what happened next.
Rizaldi didn't think about it, all he thought about was how he could play in the final, that's all. Whatever he would do for the sake of it, even if he had to sacrifice his screaming knees giving up, still he would force his knees to keep moving.
In the last physical exercise of the day, Rizaldi also managed to follow all the training sessions very well. Starting from hot potato exercises which are short quick passing exercises, then sprint training, to scenario shooting exercises, all covered by Rizaldi Fatah.
After physical exercise, they gathered in the recreation room at the hotel where they were staying. Now they get into the discussion of tactics and formations that they will use in the final game later. Although there is still a 1-day gap, Coach Satria Hutama wants tomorrow to comfort all his players before the game, so the minds of the students are a little relieved and in good condition to compete.
Coach Satria also wants the mental foster children a little awake, so he prefers to give the holiday ration for tomorrow, instead of having to boost them all to continue to practice and practice and even get results that are less than optimal, and they can be exhausted by it.
"No doubt, Wildan Hutami and their captain, Raffi Putra are not B-class players. They're on top of that, they're A-class players!" coach Satria Hutama begins a discussion of tactics. "I'm sure they'll still be using the same 4-4-2 flat formation as before"
Coach Satria still explains. "Two of their midfielders will focus on covering their midfield, then two wingers will make free movement and Wildan Hutami will be the figure of the attack bike as well as their gedor. But do not forget the ability to defend and attack Raffi Putra. He can be one of the team's cogs if the team is at a dead end"
After explaining briefly about Batavia Fort FC players that should be watched out, Coach Satria then began to show the formation scheme board of the Cananga Youth Development team that they have used for the last few matches.
They have often used a 4-2-3-1 formation in recent matches, with details of Derry Yanuar's formation in the goalkeeper section, Galih's and Bagas' duets in the central defender position, Ahmad Sahuri in the right full back section who often helps the attack, Jordi Sapta in the left full back, then there are Zaki Iskandar and Romeo who cover the midfield, and he will also be able to do so, the playmaker is Rizaldi Fatah. Then in the attacking part there are Axel Raihan, Fauzi Rizqon, and Martin.
Coach Satria was like considering his choice, then he discussed with his staff and in the end there was a clear conclusion. Coach Satria started fiddling with the formation scheme board.
"From now on we will use a 4-2-1-3 formation with two wingers moving further forward and continuing to make free roaming moves. Martin is playing Target Man this time!" coach Satria explained the new system that he would implement.
That is the role of the coach, if there is a system that is not considered to run in his team then he must have various other plans that have been prepared before. The task of players on the field is to match themselves with the system that has been prepared by the coach, if it does not fit even it is not the fault of the players.
Indeed, the players are required to have a good understanding to understand the tactics and strategies that have been prepared by the coach, but the coach must also be aware and must not impose his will if the team is difficult to adapt to the system he wants to apply.
Coach Satria knows that, he knows that his players already understand the system he wants to implement and he believes his students can adapt quickly. That confidence he saw after taking a long time to notice them all.
"Our game style remains unchanged, we will still apply short passes quickly. Occasionally it is okay to give direct pass bait but when you think it will be an opportunity that can be maximized well. You all understand?"
"Understand coach!" answer them simultaneously.
"Well that's it this time, tomorrow try to have all of you rested because we have our last match. The match that will determine whether we will be the defending champions, or even we lose and have to see that glittering silver light from afar" Coach Satria's speech made them all instantly speechless, when Coach Satria dissolved them all, they remained silent as if reflecting on themselves.
Rizaldi Fatah himself has fallen asleep with his subconscious, he reflects being on the green field and in a tense situation. As the match was about to end and only seconds left before the final whistle, he imagined himself scoring the decisive goal in the final minutes of the second half and becoming the savior in the final match.
After his delusion ended, Rizaldi immediately quickly took his smartphone from his pants pocket. He immediately told Salma and his family that on Sunday night he will compete in the final and he really hopes the presence of people who he considers special as additional fuel for himself.
