Chapter 130: The Last Tour


Rizaldi Fatah really likes the atmosphere in Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, the latest training facility at the Barcelona Football Academy or commonly called La Masia. For several days, Rizaldi and other young colleagues from the Cananga FC Development team were allowed to take part in the training that was here.


This could happen because the person who handles La Masia at the moment, is one of the close acquaintances of their coach. Coach Antoni Iaquinta is a close friend of Coach Giovanni Almeida. That's why they were all allowed to train at La Masia for a few days before they returned to Indonesia.


Coach Antoni Iaquinta was really impressed with the team built by his friend, let alone their young players who he thought very, very bright prospects. As a person who has been seeing and assessing one's abilities for a long time, Antoni Iaquinta knows this well.


The match when the day becomes the reference. Although La Masia managed to win a landslide victory over Cananga FC Mining with a score of 7-2, but still Antoni Iaquinta was really impressed with the style of play the team handled by his friend.


Especially at that time, at the end of the second half. Antoni Iaquinta saw the stunning action of the two young Cananga FC Mining players who began to develop today, namely Rizaldi Fatah and Anan Riswan. Antoni Iaquinta is not too surprised to see the terrible talent of Anan Riswan, because he thinks many children in Spain who also have the ability like Anan Riswan even more, because he thinks many children in Spain who also have the ability like Anan Riswan even more, they are held in next Messi or whatever it is but usually they will be burdened with that status and eventually drown because of a heavy burden.


For that at the end of the game yesterday, Antoni Iaquinta immediately gave a few words of reminder to Anan so that he can continue to grow and not be complacent quickly. Antoni Iaquinta was really amazed by the performance at that time, Anan Riswan managed to score one goal through his individual action that ransacked the defense of La Masia.


However, there is one young player who makes himself more amazed. Even since the player entered, Antoni Iaquinta still focused his vision on the young player figure. Giovanni had warned himself about the player, but Iaquinta's first impression of the player was normal. He thought the player was nothing more than a mediocre or lower-class player from Indonesia, but it turned out that Iaquinta had misjudged him.


Because of the carelessness committed by Rizaldi Fatah and Anan Riswan before the game began, they also get a punishment from Coach Giovanni. The punishment was initially more severe than it was given, Coach Giovanni initially wanted to cut them out of the game but Coach Giovanni softened his heart and let them play but in the final 15 minutes of the second half alone.


Antoni Iaquinta saw the figure of Rizaldi Fatah. Entering as a substitute in the last fifteen minutes of the second half, Rizaldi Fatah can still be aligned with other players. But that is not what impressed Antoni Iaquinta with Rizaldi Fatah, but because of his style of play. Rizaldi Fatah very rarely participate in defense, he prefers to monitor and supervise every inch of the field and also his people. Without realizing it, Rizaldi had done photography on all the things that his eyes caught during the match.


And the result was seen at the time of the second goal of Cananga FC Mining in the 88th minute. Rizaldi who already knows where his colleagues and opponents are, when getting the ball Rizaldi immediately gave a very heavy horizontal pass, which was very heavy, but it was because in the right position Adam Sala managed to take the pass very well before finally Adam Sala completed his task by putting the ball into the La Masia goal and making the score change becomes 7-2.


But after that, Rizaldi also had time to steal the attention of all the eyes of La Masia players and also of course Coach Iaquinta. The movement without the ball from Rizaldi Fatah made La Masia defender surprised, Rizaldi Fatah managed to stab the La Masia team defense through the back. The mature bait from Anan Riswan was immediately cheated by Rizaldi Fatah using his strongest foot, the right foot, but unfortunately the ball still hit the goalpost and failed to become a goal, he said, even the La Masia goalkeeper could not react.


Almost yesterday Rizaldi recorded one goal and one assist, but the record of one assist in the last 15 minutes of the second half was also a very good record for Rizaldi Fatah. It was able to make the eyes of Coach Iaquinta directly fascinated with the style of play Rizaldi Fatah that reminds him of the style of play Lionel Messi.


One of the reasons why Antoni Iaquinta would invite the young players of Cananga FC to join the training with La Masia, is because of Rizaldi Fatah. But Iaquinta kept this a secret from Giovanni. Coach Giovanni can only smile, he also agreed to the plan from Iaquinta, counting also to provide additional training for young players Cananga FC Development.


"I don't know what you mean by this joint training invitation, but it looks like I owe you Iaquinta" coach Giovanni said on the sidelines while watching his youth team training with the La Masia team.


But Giovanni knew very well the meaning of his friend, he noticed the figure of Rizaldi Fatah who attended the training today with great zeal. Giovanni noticed Iaquinta's eye gaze, it also led to Rizaldi Fatah and therefore Giovanni laughed.


"What are you laughing at Giovanni? Is there anything funny?" I was confused with his old friend.


"No no" replied Giovanni trying to cover up his intentions. "I just laughed at how excited one of my men was in the training this time"


"You mean the boy named Rizaldi Fatah is Gio?"


"Who else. You know Antonio, that kid just played football. Maybe he's only started six months"


Upon hearing this, Iaquinta was immediately aghast in surprise. Iaquinta could not believe what Giovanni said.


"If you don't believe me you can just ask yourself" Giovanni said, inviting Iaquinta to ask the facts.


Iaquinta looked deeply into Giovanni's eyes. Iaquinta did not see the lie from the gaze of the eye, but still it was difficult to believe by Iaquinta. Finally he chose to call Rizaldi and ask him alone.


Rizaldi looked at the corner of the field, Iaquinta called out to him. Then Rizaldi immediately went to the sidelines. "What's the Coach?" asked Rizaldi politely.


Iaquinta looked at Rizaldi for a long time before asking. "Jawab honestly, how long have you been playing ball? I mean walking this professional path?" ask Iaquinta.


Rizaldi was a little confused at first, but he answered without any difficulty. "I just started 6 months ago" he said casually.


Because of the ease with which Rizaldi said it, Iaquinta was immediately shocked full of question marks. This time Iaquinta must inevitably have to believe in it, because he heard the fact from Rizaldi's mouth directly.
