Chapter 123: First Port, Seville


The Cananga FC Mining team arrived in Spain around 10pm Spanish time. After a long journey, they even had to transit at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam Netherlands, then they could continue the trip to Spain from there.


The trip this time was very unpleasant for Rizaldi. He is still not used to boarding an airplane, the anxiety after boarding the plane he can still feel until now. Not to mention Rizaldi felt so exhausted, because of the jetlag he felt.


Not only did he feel exhausted, almost every Cananga FC Mining player also felt the same way, especially Anan Riswan who even felt nauseous since on the plane.


"I'm still safe, right?" he said after arriving at Seville Airport. His legs were shaking violently, he was walking very fast because his feet felt light like walking on clouds, it was a symptom of plane hangover.


"Coach Satria is coming too?" Exhausted Rizaldi did not realize that Coach Satria was nearby, even while on the plane he was sitting next to Coach Satria.


"My team liburkan, I obviously do not want to leave the opportunity to go to Spain right?" coach Satria said casually, then Coach Satria hurriedly walked to pick up the bus that would take them to the reservation.


Because they were too tired, they all just headed to the front of the airport. There is already a bus that will take them to the inn that has been booked previously by the club management.


Rizaldi and Anan sat in the front row, but Rizaldi sat by the window of the bus. He wanted to see the beautiful scenery of Seville at night, that was the plan at first before finally along the journey Rizaldi just fell asleep until they got to the reservation. Even Rizaldi had to be awakened by Coach Giovanni because he was too tired, Rizaldi climbed the staircase of their hotel reservation with a lunglai.


"Welcome to the Hotel Vertice Sevilla" the guests welcomed the arrival of the Cananga FC Mining Team with a friendly, in accordance with their service standards.


They smiled displaying their white and well-groomed teeth, their blond hair was left untouched so they looked attractive in the eyes of the visitors. The makeup worn is also not too flashy so it hurts the eyes. "Please sign here" the guest handed out a long black book.


Coach Giovanni also signed at the place indicated by the recipient of the guest earlier, after signing they were now given their respective room keys. Each room contains 5-6 people, so only 6 rooms are needed for all of them.


Rizaldi is in the room with Anan and two other senior players. Rizaldi already did not care about it, all he cared about right now was that he wanted to quickly immerse himself into the soft mattress.


Rizaldi and Anan follow one of their seniors who is given the responsibility to hold the key. Their senior name is Munip Arif, a player who is already quite senior defending Cananga FC Mining.


"Room number 128, here it is" said Munip, then he immediately opened the door.


Looks a very spacious mattress, it's a Double Bed that is two. Rizaldi immediately jumped onto the pleasure island, his back felt fixed by the mattress and slowly he fell asleep into a dream on the island of Kapok. Seeing the favors felt by Rizaldi made Anan follow what was done by Rizaldi.


Rizaldi nodded slowly while closing his eyes, Anan too. They both closed their eyes again and this time they closed their eyes, until they did not hear any more disturbing noises.


The next day after breakfast. They went straight to the football stadium in Sevilla.


Rizaldi woke up once in the morning, about 5 am he had widened his eyes and could not sleep again until all the players started to move and breakfast. Unaccustomed to food in Spain, he ate only chicken breast and a few slices of bread baked with honey sauce mixed with berries.


Rizaldi looking for rice in Spain, indeed there is but not the same type of rice consumed by the people of Indonesia in general. Generally rice in Spain is mostly made Risotto, not made to be a staple food like in Indonesia or countries in Asia in general.


Arriving at a football stadium that is not too big, they immediately started their training program in Spain this time. The training was not much different from their daily practice, only the atmosphere had changed slightly. Because it is now summer in Spain, and Sevilla is famous for the hottest city in Spain especially during the summer, Cananga FC Mining players also feel tired too quickly. However, the heat here is still far less than the heat in Indonesia passed by the Equator, especially Sevilla is a city that empties into the second longest river in Spain, the Guadalquivir River, gives a little cool feeling typical of the river banks.


Coach Giovanni and Coach Satria oversee every single thing the Cananga FC Mining player, has done, it is also to determine the Cananga FC Mining squad that he will register to sail for the new season in the I-LEAGUE later.


"When will your friend come coach?" Coach Satria asked what Coach Giovanni had just told him about his old friend who wanted to come here.


"Maybe in a while" Coach Giovanni said confidently as he looked at his shiny watch exposed to the glare of the sun.


Not long after coach Giovanni said that, came a man in his 40-50s wearing formal clothing. His hair is long like many Italian men in general, has a sideburn that is almost similar to Coach Giovanni, not even his face looks like Coach Giovanni. At least that was Rizaldi's first impression when he saw the figure who came and greeted Coach Giovanni who seemed to have known him for a long time.


"How are you, buddy? Do you like Spain?" he said very cheerfully, as cheerfully as during the day in Seville this time.


"Not too bad but I still miss Genova" Coach Giovanni said, with Italian also he spoke so many Cananga FC Mining players, he said, including Rizaldi who does not understand what is meant by coach Giovanni.


Then Coach Giovanni introduced a man who was so similar to him to all of them. "All acquaintances, this is my old friend. He and I have played for Genoa FC, one of the clubs in Serie A. His name is Alberto Gilardino!" coach Giovanni said that made all Cananga FC Mining players surprised not to play, even they were all speechless.


Rizaldi had expected it, but because Gilardino's face was very similar to Coach Giovanni it made him think that it was the twin brother of coach Giovanni who was lost swallowed by the earth.
