Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 138: Opening Match of Indonesia Premier League

About four thousand spectators packed Cananga Stadium today, they all gathered to watch Indonesia's opening Premier League match on Sunday, which brings together Cananga FC as the host who will host Singosari FC as the guest team.

The material of Cananga FC's mining squad has not changed much from last season, there are only a few new names that they have come in the transfer market this time, including one of the dangerous strikers owned by Mataram Alceo FC, Ednilson Silva who has just joined the Cananga FC Mining with a transfer value of 3 billion Rupiah.

Ednilson Silva from Mataram Alceo. The development of Cananga FC also brought players as defenders, aged 26 years who came from the Ivory Coast country. Edema Balogun, from the team in the Ivory Coast league with a price of 10 billion rupiah. Cananga mining does not carelessly bring in that player. Edema Balogun became an important pillar of the ASEC Mimosas team won the Ivory Coast's top division last season. That's why Cananga FC's expansion is so focused on bringing in Edema Balogun, moreover they have to compete in the top flight to get the league title again.

Edema Balogun who uses the number 4 back will be in uniform Red Black Mining Cananga for 3 seasons, with a salary of about 34 thousand euros per week or about 553 million rupiah per week.

There's a price there's quality, maybe that sentence really suits Edema Balogun and Ednilson Silva. Their prices speak for themselves on the green field today, in the match against Singosari FC.

Mining Cananga FC managed to excel first through a goal created by Ednilson Silva, this became his debut goal as a Cananga FC Mining player in the highest division of the league in Indonesia. Through a slick attack scheme, Ednilson Silva managed to receive a very good pass from Adam Sala who managed to give a sweet breakthrough pass to the front and managed to trick the defenders Singosari FC. Ednilson Silva ran after the breakthrough pass, dueling with two Singosari FC defenders, before he finally won and managed to kick the ball to the far post until the Singosari FC goalkeeper could not reach it. 1-0 Mining Cananga FC managed to excel in the 7th minute.

Left behind to make Singosari FC not discouraged, they slowly rise and start slowly building the foundation of their attack. Until the end in the 11th minute they managed to get a chance. Adama Rosyidi who is a creative Singosari FC player, sprint in the right side of Cananga FC Mining defense, he managed to pass the right back of Cananga FC Mining filled by Fadil Fauzi senior players as well. After winning the sprint, Adama Rosyidi made a stabbing move into the Mining penalty box, which was, he looked into the middle there was a forward who was preparing to tap-in and immediately Fadil Fauzi gave a cut-back pass.

But unfortunately what Fadil Fauzi wants to do is successfully read by Adema Balogun, he managed to read the direction of the ball and make an interception before the ball reached the feet of the forward Singosari FC who was preparing to kick the ball. As soon as the ball was on his feet, Edema Balogun immediately dribbled forward and began to build a counter-attack. Edema looked to the left side of the visitors' defence so vulnerable at the moment that he immediately gave a direct pass forward.

Kenzo was already there, the ball was received easily and he started dribbling. Two players were successfully passed by Kenzo, but the player passed by Kenzo did not want to lose just like that. They got up again and started putting pressure on Kenzo until Kenzo felt uncomfortable carrying the ball, but Kenzo was still relaxed. His eyes while paying attention to the front line of the attacker, when it was felt the right time Kenzo immediately gave a hull pass to the middle of the opposing team's penalty box.

Kenzo's sharply-turned pass was immediately struck by Adam Sala with his header, his header already directed in a direction that was difficult to reach by the visiting goalkeeper, but the ball went wide so far and only produced a goal kick for Singosari FC team. Adam Sala immediately apologized to Kenzo who had given a very good pass, but unfortunately Adam could not convert it into a goal.

At the end of the first half of Mining Cananga FC managed to double their advantage again. This time through a hard kick Anan Riswan who managed to ruffle the defense of the visitors with extraordinary individual movements that he had, he said, his hard shot led to the post near the goal but the ball that spun quickly made the goalkeeper of Singosari FC team difficult to brush the ball off.

Until the whistle sounded, ending the first round of the match today. Mining Cananga managed to win 3-0 temporarily over his opponent Singosari FC. The Black Reds entered the dressing room with high morale after going 3-0 up against their opponents today, but Coach Giovanni gave them a little evaluation of what he saw in the first 45 minutes.

According to coach Giovanni there are still many mistakes they make, such as passing errors or the slow transition they make. If only against a stronger team, maybe they had conceded a few goals by the time Singosari FC gained their momentum.

"You guys played pretty well today, for the second half, just keep going like this but remember the evaluation I gave you guys. If any of you are still not able to adapt to this rapid change, take it easy there are still many players who are ready to replace your position" said coach Giovanni gave mental treatment to his men.

"Ready coach!" answer them all.

Then did not feel the fifteen minutes of rest had ended just like that, the two teams began to prepare to re-enter the field. Rizaldi Fatah, who was waiting for his moment, also returned to the field, more precisely to sit on the bench while waiting for his turn to play. But as he was about to walk, coach Giovanni stopped him.

Coach Giovanni held onto Rizaldi's shoulder and made Rizaldi stop and turn towards him, waiting for what Coach Giovanni wanted to talk about.

"Ward Prowse's. After this you warm up, be prepared anytime I can put your name in this second half" Coach Giovanni said and he left just like leaving Rizaldi Fatah.

Rizaldi Fatah who heard that jumped straight in the dressing room, he was so happy to hear that. Rizaldi immediately took off the jacket he was wearing and began to prepare to warm up.
