One week after getting word from Coach Giovanni that he will soon be introduced to the first team, Rizaldi Fatah was finally introduced to the first team.
The two-week break is over for the first-team players, but there are also some players who still get rations for vacation because of their contribution to the team in the last season, or indeed he is a marquee player.
Not only was Rizaldi Fatah introduced into the team today, there were a few players who had just come in the transfer window to be in the red and black shirt of Cananga FC's Mining pride for the season.
First introduced there is a senior defender from the country of Brazil. His face is very similar to Diego Costa according to Rizaldi, but he has a large and strong body like Givanildo Viera de Souza or often known as the Hulk.
His name is Ednilson Silva, signed from Mataram club Alceo FC who also play in the highest caste of Indonesian football, I-LEAGUE. Ednilson Silva will be in the Cananga FC Mining uniform for the next 3 years. Ednilson Silva is not a new person in the I-LEAGUE, he has 5 years in the highest competition of Indonesian football. The first club he defended was Kediri Rangers who had been relegated to I-Championship, the second caste league in Indonesia. Ednilson Silva defended Kediri Rangers for 2 full seasons, after which he only defended Mataram Alceo FC for 3 seasons before joining Cananga FC Mining.
After introducing himself, Ednilson Silva was immediately greeted with applause by another Cananga FC Mining player. Because Ednilson Silva is from Brazil, he is a foreign player in the Cananga FC Mining squad this season.
All foreign players owned by the Cananga FC Mining only have one quota left, they have got four foreign players after Ednilson Silva joined.
The rules of the I-LEAGUE on players are very clear. In the I-LEAGUE, each club is only allowed to have 5 foreign players. This aims to provide more flying hours to local players, so that local players can at least compete and get more playing rations.
FSI wants Indonesian football to be more advanced, so that the creation of such regulations. It seems like an anti-foreigner, but this is for the sake of the progress of Indonesian football. However, there are exceptions for foreign players who have been grazing for a long time in the I-LEAGUE. Such as Ednilson Silva.
Ednilson Silva has been 5 years in the I-LEAGUE, if he still plays in the I-LEAGUE for the next 2 years, Ednilson Silva can get Indonesian citizenship and can be considered a local player. Even though he is still a Brazilian citizen.
For players, the regulation in the I-LEAGUE is almost similar to the regulation in the Spanish league.
Before the league runs, teams must register their players to the FSI and the league's managing committee. Each team can register 25 main players. Five for the quota of foreign players who can be registered as the main player or not.
Usually in the I-LEAGUE, there are also unwritten rules. This rule is often used by clubs that compete in the I-LEAGUE, each club is different about the special rules, for example only in the Cananga FC Mining. In Cananga FC's Development, there is one unwritten rule that is applied every season changed by the club and its management.
These rules are about players. So in the Cananga FC Mining team, there is a rule made specifically by the team management to manage the players. In the 25 players registered as the main player, there must be a maximum of 8 original players Banjarmasin or Mining, and 8 players must be in the line-up, maximum 5 players.
That is why, coach Giovanni wants to introduce Rizaldi Fatah into the main squad. Not only Rizaldi will be included in the main squad later, there is still the name Axel Raihan, Martin and Derry Yanuar will be in the first squad once they are done with their stint in the national team.
"Hello everyone, my name is Rizaldi Fatah. I am 16 years old, please cooperate" Rizaldi introduced himself in front of all the main players of Cananga FC Mining who are on average 26 years old and above.
"No need to be too rigid cil, we will all take care of you as requested by coach Giovanni" said the figure of the captain of the Cananga FC Mining team.
Rizaldi looked at the figure, he was wide-eyed from shock and admiration to feel the aura of leadership that existed in the figure. Rizaldi knew who it was, he knew that figure.
His name is Adam Sala, the captain of the Cananga FC Mining team. He is 31 years old and full of experience, Sala himself is a native local player even from the original Mining. His talent was first seen by Coach Giovanni when he was an assistant coach and observer at the time, he found Sala playing in the local league. He was playing for SAGT FC.
Because he fell in love with the game Sala, coach Giovanni immediately gave the name Sala to the head coach of the Cananga FC Mining team at that time and because it felt his trust to coach Giovanni, who was the coach of the company, finally the head coach of the team immediately agreed the proposal coach Giovanni.
And sure enough, it did not take long for Adam Sala to display his best performance in Cananga FC Mining. In his first season alone, Sala managed to win the best player of the league after he succeeded in bringing Cananga FC Mining to become champion. And Adam Sala is also a local talent who managed to penetrate the national team's first squad, although he was late to become a star but still his ability can not be underestimated.
Despite being reminded by the captain, Rizaldi still feels sorry for all Cananga FC Mining players. He feels the smallest person who is here, even though there are still many young players who play in Cananga FC Mining and just joined from the academy.
"Hey don't be afraid, the captain has already said so then you must believe what the captain said!" said someone with curly hair whose hair he painted blonde, a little like a stranger when he himself is a native of Indonesia.
It was one of the players who just joined the Cananga FC Mining main squad of the academy team. Positioned as a striker and has the instinct of a striker who is so sharp, even in his first season alone he managed to score 18 goals from 27 appearances with Cananga FC Mining.
His name is Anan Riswan, or commonly called Anan.
When Anan advanced to calm the still stiff Rizaldi, Rizaldi accidentally activated the [God Eyes] skill and made himself able to see the status of Anan's. How surprised he was when he saw the status of Anan who almost has a value of 70-80, it is the status owned by players in the top European leagues.
At the age of 18 years, Rizaldi is increasingly excited himself to see the development of the figure of Anan who will be his teammate. No, Rizaldi can't wait to start training with the first squad today. Rizaldi was sure, not only was Anan a 'monster' here, he was also impatient to see the action of the captain today.
