Chapter 135: Second Round of Indonesian Super Cup


The long-awaited debut by Rizaldi Fatah finally arrived in the 66th minute. When the ball came out, Rizaldi was ready on the sidelines to get into the field immediately. He will replace Daisuke Kenzo, a creative attacking midfielder from Japan who today played a bit drowned out of his usual days.


Coach Giovanni's betting is getting a lot of questions from many sides, including Kenzo himself who is a little confused about being pulled out and replaced by a young player and yet as much experience as Rizaldi. That is a natural thing, because Coach Giovanni put Rizaldi Fatah in crucial minutes and important matches such as the Indonesian Super Cup.


Kenzo who has never seen the game from Rizaldi even slightly underestimated Rizaldi who is still considered raw, it was, but because of professionalism finally Kenzo went to the sidelines and was honored to be replaced by Rizaldi Fatah. But it was only a moment, Kenzo was upset with Coach Giovanni's decision and so upset he had kicked the bottle and tried to ask about the decision taken by Coach Giovanni.


Coach Giovanni was silent to watch his students play from the side of the field, only Coach Satria was the one who pacified Kenzo who was very upset. Coach Giovanni doesn't even look at Kenzo at all which makes Kenzo even more angry and upset at him.


Back on the field, Rizaldi, who was like a child among the adults, began to try to blend in with the rhythm of the game. He is not nervous at all even though it is a very classy and important match for Cananga FC. His participation in the pre-season tour carried out by the team to Spain seems to be paying off.


It didn't take long for Rizaldi to start blending in the rhythm of the team's game, a few minutes later he started to be the rhythm controller of the game with his short passing and very good vision. The existence of Rizaldi Fatah in midfield again made the Cananga FC Mining midfield back alive, until in the 71st minute they almost scored the reverse goal.


Through a very good triangle scheme, Rizaldi gives the final pass with a lob pass technique that is so fitting to the figure of Adam Sala, the ball also fits once landed at the feet of Adam Sala and Adam Sala immediately kicked the ball very hard so that the goalkeeper Tigerra FC can not pull over, he said, but unfortunately the Tigerra FC goalkeeper managed to pull it off in a way that was unimaginable by Adam Sala before and only made Cananga FC Mining get a corner.


"Good Rizaldi, let's go on like that!" adam Sala praised the mature pass from Rizaldi earlier, which made Rizaldi smile and more eager to fight today.


If there is anything less than Rizaldi, it is defending. Rizaldi was very unaccustomed to defending, but he could win duels several times but the rest he could have easily been dropped by opposing players. But Rizaldi countered that by improving his vision and playing style. If you don't have the ball, Rizaldi will continue to scan the area with his very broad vision to find gaps that can be used by him to counterattack quickly like the wind that blows whatever is there in front of him.


Rizaldi continues to explore, all sectors have come from the middle, right or left flank sectors. In addition to the vision of playing very good, Rizaldi also has football skills that can be spelled out fairly, with that Rizaldi can keep the ball long enough in his control. Until Rizaldi finally got a chance once again.


Rizaldi dribbling in the central sector of the Tigerra FC team defense, which makes the opposing team club with his football skills. In an instant Rizaldi scanned he could find the position of Ednilson Silva is so free, he said, Rizaldi immediately gave a horizontal breakthrough pass that penetrated the Tigerra FC team defense and the ball was struck by Ednilson Silva and successfully converted by Ednilson to be a goal through a kick of his left foot that led to the Tigerra FC goalpost.


The goal came in the 80th minute, ten minutes before the game was over. Ednilson Silva who was excited to score a goal immediately opened his shirt without him caring about the yellow card he would receive after this, then Ednilson did a siu celebration which is the hallmark of Cristiano Ronaldo.


"Give me the boy! Where is the boy" said Ednilson Silva looking for the figure of Rizaldi who gave him a 24-carat gold bait.


"Come-ayo already has her celebrity, we still have to hold on to ensure this victory!" the captain said, Adam Sala. Then everything returned to their respective posts, Adam Sala ran in tandem with Rizaldi who still showed his innocent smile despite having been hit by an underarm attack Ednilson Silva. "How does it feel?" ask Adam Sala.


"It feels so good!" rizaldi replied plainly that made Adam Sala laugh out loud while stroking Rizaldi's head, making Rizaldi a little confused.


"Bas stupid, I didn't ask you about that. I mean what it's like to have Ednilson's armpits" said Adam Sala, then he just walked away.


The remaining time is less than ten minutes of normal time used by Tigerra FC team to make attacks repeatedly, they want to score a goal back after the second goal from Ednilson Silva earlier. But the Cananga FC Mining team did not give up so easily, they defended solid enough to make Tigerra FC players start to get frustrated because they continued to fail to attack after attack.


Their best chance came in the 87th minute, when Tigerra FC players managed to penetrate the Cananga Mining team defense and had a one-on-one duel with the Cananga Mining goalkeeper. But his kick ended up soaring high and wasted the opportunity.


Entering the extra round just 3 minutes makes Tigerra FC's troops increasingly confused to equalize, or else they have to bury their dreams to win the Indonesian Super Cup trophy.


Cananga FC's team continues to defend, unable to advance to attack for now. To the extent that Coach Giovanni also replaced some of his midfield players with players who position as defensive midfielders and defenders, as a result the stronger their defense. But the Tigerra FC players are not daunted by it all, they believe that a defense as strong as anything can be penetrated, but unfortunately they forget something. They forget one important saying, that negligence will cause big problems. That's what the Tigerra FC team experienced ahead of the final whistle almost sounded.


Tigerra FC who continued to attack until they raised their defensive line finally forgot an important thing, when their attacking scheme failed they were so slow in making the transition from attacking to defending. This was used by the Cananga FC Mining team, one of the Cananga FC Mining defenders who saw this opportunity immediately gave the ball away when he managed to stop the Tigerra FC team's attack.


The ball was successfully obtained by Rizaldi, Rizaldi's touch was so smooth and he immediately ran to advance forward. Tigerra FC's remaining one defender managed to be passed by Rizaldi easily, and Rizaldi now gradually began to face the goalkeeper of the Tigerra FC team.


When Rizaldi was about to kick, unfortunately the referee immediately blew a long whistle sign the game ended before Rizaldi had time to release his kick.


All Cananga FC Mining players and staff immediately ran scattered into the middle of the field when a long whistle was blown by the referee, they rejoiced at the thin victory they got. The slim victory was enough to make them win the Indonesian Super Cup this season. But Rizaldi felt the confusion this time, he did not know he had to cry happy or cry sad because he failed to score his first-team debut in today's game, but he won his first championship with the first team in today's match.


Anan Riswan tried to cheer Rizaldi who was still standing in front of the Tigerra FC team goal and invite him to have fun and celebrate this victory, he said, finally Rizaldi also followed what Anan Riswan said even though he was still thinking about the golden opportunity he got in the final seconds of the match today.
