Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 120: First Impressions

Rizaldi Fatah successfully passed his first training with the Cananga FC Mining first team. It felt like training in hell because coach Giovanni played a demon who continued to torture Rizaldi Fatah in his training, but fortunately he managed to get through it very well, even though he was exhausted.

The atmosphere felt by Rizaldi is very different from previous exercises with team A or team B Cananga Youth Development. Although this is just a normal exercise, but Rizaldi can feel the competition that occurs.

All the players showed their ability in every training menu, they were not lazy and even impressed to be doing a race. It was a natural thing to happen in the first team, but Rizaldi just saw it here.

Seeing the stiffness of Rizaldi that is still left in him, Anan Riswan tried to comfort Rizaldi who was sitting exhausted next to the bench.

"Hey good work today" Anan said as he threw a bottle of drink at Rizaldi.

Rizaldi immediately quickly caught the bottle and saw the figure who threw the bottle, quite surprised he even Rizaldi immediately stood up because he was so surprised.

Hurriedly Anan told Rizaldi to sit down again because he knew that the boy had just finished his first day of training hell. "How was the training today? Do you have a little idea how this team will be?" Anan sat down near Rizaldi.

Rizaldi nervously replied. "I had expected that Giovanni's coach would give me extra super training on my first day, but honestly I'm happy here"

"It's good that you're happy here" Anan said, laughing.

Rizaldi also laughed, then there was a long silence between the two of them. Rizaldi is certainly still saddened by the figure of the players of the Cananga FC Mining first team, especially the figure who is nearby at this time.

Rizaldi saw for himself how the skill possessed by Anan Riswan. The status that he accidentally saw with the [God Eyes] skill was not lying. Anan ******* ends each training menu with perfect value, from Rizaldi's point of view as well as Giovanni's coach's point of view. All Cananga FC players know that Anan is a footballer who has natural talent, he is included in a player who may appear every 10 years.

Because of his brilliance last season, Anan was the target of big clubs in the I-LEAGUE but he still wants to stay at a club that has found itself and given him the opportunity. There are even wild rumors that many clubs in Europe have started flying their scouts to monitor Anan. Of course there are big names like Barcelona and Real Madrid who are included in the rumors, but Anan relaxed to respond to such rumors.

"Where would a team as big as Barcelona and Real Madrid want a player from a village like me. It's just a rumor so don't think about it too much hahaha" Anan replied when Rizaldi mentioned the rumor.

Of course Rizaldi did not think like Anan. He knows very well that Anan is a player who is very, very blessed with natural talent, he is like Messi who has natural talent from birth. The similarity between Anan and Messi is, they are both born for football.

Messi also came from a small village in Argentina, just like Anan. Messi used to be a doubt and it is possible that Messi doubted himself, just like Anan. That is why Rizaldi does not think the same as Anan, because he believes Anan could have played in the top European leagues and become a great player there, not only a stopover a season.

"Have not praised me so much like that, it feels like I want to fly" Anan felt a little uncomfortable because Rizaldi just kept praising his performance today.

"But what was done by Anan's brother was indeed very extraordinary, even I looked back several times if the cool-faced coach Giovanni always nodded when assessing the game brother"

"That's just a coach's habit" Anan again dodged. "Your game is no less good, I like your spoiled passing. You're really like Ward Prowse but more eager to attack"

Rizaldi realized who said about him to Anan, of course it was Giovanni's coach who often told them all about Rizaldi Fatah. Everything, up to the footballer who is favored by Rizaldi alone told by coach Giovanni. Therefore, Anan Riswan knows who is a footballer who is favored by Rizaldi.

"But I'm a little surprised by Rizal, you don't like Mbappe or Haalland who are obviously the new Messi and Ronaldo. All the kids idolized them both, but you idolized the figure of Jordan Ward Prowse who spent his career with Southampton FC. You're so unique!" said Anan

Rizaldi so smiled widely at the praise of Anan, he then recalled how he became acquainted with the figure of the player named Jordan Ward Prowse. When he remembered the moment, Rizaldi suddenly felt sentimental and it made Anan a little confused and frightened to see Rizaldi who suddenly let out tears.

While at the end, the figure of coach Giovanni was busy talking with the captain of the Cananga FC Mining team, Adam Sala. They both talked very seriously, talking about one thing that felt so important.

It was obvious, they were both talking about Rizaldi Fatah. Coach Giovanni was the first to ask Adam Sala's opinion of the 16-year-old.

"You want to know my coach's opinion?" ask Adam to the coach. That of course was answered by coach Giovanni with the answer "Of course"

"Alright then" Adam Sala began to take a deep breath which even made coach Giovanni raise his eyebrows. "But before that, may I curse?"

Coach Giovanni was confused by that, he did not understand what Adam Sala wanted to do to curse. "Of course it can't be! You can cause trouble for this book" coach Giovanni said, but Giovanni's words were not understood by Adam Sala.

"Book?" he said a little confused, but Adam Sala did not care and just said his opinion about Rizaldi Fatah to Coach Giovanni. "As always, you are an expert in finding talented players. The boy's like a rat, where'd you find him coach?"

Coach Giovanni could only cover his face with his note board, he still did not understand with this one figure. Coach Giovanni really did not understand what Adam Sala said, even he equated the figure of Rizaldi with a mouse.

"You don't misunderstand the coach" said Adam Sala trying to explain his point. "That mouse is the most clever animal, such is the figure of the boy in my eyes. If I were to become a manager like you, I would definitely recruit him like you"

"Oh is that so?" coach Giovanni was a little hesitant about Adam Sala's remarks. "If he's only been playing football for a few months, are you still willing to take and recruit him?"

"Just playing football?" Adam Sala was very surprised to hear that fact, he did not expect the figure of Rizaldi Fatah is not a person who has long studied football in the academy, but he had just started in a few months. "It should still feel rough, even though he has a vision that is above the average child his age"

"He's like you Adam, a man who has talent in football but is too late to get into the world of football"

Hearing the words of coach Giovanni, Adam Sala just smiled. He looked at the figure of Rizaldi Fatah from a distance and saw a reflection of himself. Adam Sala said in his head, if he had met football early, he could have been a great player that fans will always remember.

But what is unknown to him is, Adam Sala has become a legend at the Cananga FC Mining club even though he has just started his career as a professional footballer.
