Chapter 142: Versus Surabaya Argento FC

The whistle has been blown by the referee of the court referee, the ball has been kicked by the visitors who started the first round kick-off first, the match between Cananga FC Mining against Surabaya Argento FC officially began!

Playing in front of his own supporters, must be a big moral injection for Cananga FC Mining players to give all the best of what they have. They all want to give a victory in today's game, to quench the thirst of supporters who are always hungry for victory. That's why they will play like always, playing loose and pressing which is always part of their game.

But the visitors are not a team that can be underestimated, Surabaya Argento in this season is very different from several seasons back. They are clearly targeting the league champions this season, although their squad still relies on their young players and they seem to be quiet in the transfer market, but in that silence they turned into something different, like a cocoon that suddenly turned into a beautiful butterfly.

Surabaya Argento play quite calm, they do not want to be provoked by the slightly aggressive style of Cananga Mining game. They played quietly, continuing to flow the ball from the back line in accordance with the modern style of football today. When they started to see the gap, defender Surabaya Argento immediately gave a long pass to the front so accurately and it was enough to disrupt the defense of the Cananga Mining team.

As soon as he got the ball, Nico Pratama immediately pumped gas into the Cananga Mining penalty box. Previously he passed several guards from the Cananga Mining defender, after which he fired a shot towards the goal. His shot was quite dangerous and he was very confident with his shot, but apparently the Cananga Mining goal this time was different from before.

Derry Yanuar, who made his debut today, did not want his happy day to be ruined by one mistake, such as the mistake of stopping an opponent's kick. Derry focus high level, once Nico Pratama kick he already knows what to do. Derry immediately slammed his body towards the ball, he managed to capture perfectly Nico Pratama's hard kick from 20 meters away.

Nico Pratama was surprised to see that, he did not expect the goalkeeper who is not the main goalkeeper of the Cananga FC Mining team was able to catch his kick quite perfectly, Nico Pratama does not yet know who he was playing against today, he said, more precisely he is less concerned about the Indonesian football scene. Failed the first experiment Surabaya Argento in the 14th minute.

Then headed to the 18th minute, Surabaya Argento again got the opportunity. Again and again with similar scenes they get the chance back. The Surabaya winger Argento won a running duel with wing-back Pemambangan Cananga FC and he immediately gave a cross into the penalty box. Nico Pratama again snatched the ball with a header, this time it could be pushed back by Derry Yanuar, the rebound ball was immediately swept clean by Adam Sala who happened to stand right on the fall of the ball.

Two golden opportunities can be thwarted by Derry, making Nico almost frustrated even though the time is still long. He tried to remember who the young goalkeeper was, the goalkeeper who had just made his debut in the senior team today. Finally Nico was aware, the figure of Cananga FC Mining goalkeeper was the main goalkeeper in the Indonesian U-17 national team.

Nico did not get off his mentality just because he was against one of the Indonesian national team retainers, he was even happy and eager to score a goal guarded by Derry Yanuar, he was happy and eager to score a goal, because of his passion it makes Derry feel uncomfortable suddenly.

But that doesn't mean the home team just sit back, they also do what they often do. With an aggressive and neatly arranged style of play, Cananga FC Mining attacked the defense of the visitors. In the 25th minute they got a breath of fresh air from their unhurried build-up. Starting with the action of Rizaldi Fatah who kept the ball in the middle of the field, then he gave the ball to Anan Riswan on the left side.

As usual Anan Riswan will do the puncture movement, his typical movement and he will try to shoot at the far post. But two Surabaya Argento defenders immediately confronted him, including Muklis Hadi who prepared to tackle the ball at the feet of Anan Riswan. But Anan Riswan was not that easy to beat, Anan pulled the ball back and did a back-hell that surprised Muklis Raharjo.

The ball went back to the feet of Rizaldi Fatah and he got a bit of a shooting room, Rizaldi was speculating from outside the box. The ball shot very quickly, but unfortunately Rizaldi kicked with a slightly wrong pedestal so that the ball even slightly rose and hit the crossbar only, Rizaldi was immediately a little disappointed to see his kick failed to enter smoothly into the opponent's goal, but he kept running because he felt he was getting closer.

While the Cananga FC Mining team, they recorded 10 shots which is more than the visitors, but unfortunately the accuracy is still far, far away, of the 10 kicks there are only 3 that are on target and endanger the opponent's goal, the rest still have not found their way.

In the second half Coach Giovanni did not change the strategy of the game much, he still believes in the system he has been implementing and also he is still confident with his formation. The second half started from the home side.

As always, Cananga FC Mining will build-up the attack from below first before carrying out a deadly attack, they will perform a modified tiki-taka by Coach Giovanni that leaves no distinctive touch of the Italian game on his children's game.

The development of Cananga FC played more pressing than the first half, but the Surabaya Argento players did not seem too difficult in the face of the pressure exerted by the home team. Moreover, they managed to dampen the strength possessed by Ednilson Silva, the most dangerous player in front of the goal owned by Cananga FC Mining. In fact they also managed to turn off Kenzo's movements which was quite difficult for them on the left side.

Rizaldi continues to try to give the ball forward, either to striker Ednilson Silva or to their two wingers Kenzo and Anan Riswan. But unfortunately the movement of the three of them can already be locked by the defending team Surabaya Argento, even worse it happened to their gedor, so Rizaldi needs something to turn things around. Both teams still had a stalemate until the game entered the 70th minute.

In the remaining twenty minutes of the match, Coach Giovanni also included the name Martin to replace Ednilson Silva who could not do much today. At first glance many consider Coach Giovanni to have given up and tried to maintain a fixed score of glasses, rather than having to accept a painful defeat.

But Martin proved he was the right man, and Coach Giovanni silenced the Cananga Stadium public.

Just playing for 3 minutes, Martin was able to tune in with other players and in the end the goal was created in the 75th minute. Starting from the bait one two Rizaldi with Anan Riswan, Rizaldi who saw Martin was trying to open the room immediately gave a gastric bait to him.

Martin did not think much, he just ran and tried to calculate where the ball was falling and Martin immediately adjusted himself to the pass given by Rizaldi Fatah. The ball was won by Martin. Muklis Hadi who saw it immediately positioned his body to align with Martin so that Martin would be difficult to pass him, but instead Martin chose to just run without having to pass Muklis who made Muklis surprised.

As Muklis chases Martin and tries to stop him, Muklis is again surprised by Martin's individual movements are very fast and to make the movement of Muklis stopped and he fell, Martin who managed to pass Muklis immediately dribbled in front of the goal and finished his job perfectly. The ball is kicked to the right side of the goal is very relaxed and the score was changed to 1-0 for the home team's advantage.

After that goal, Surabaya Argento intended to return the goal as well but Cananga FC's very tight mining defense made them a little overwhelmed especially with the rest of the power left. Until finally the long whistle sounded, the score remained unchanged until the end. 1-0 for the home win in this game and keep their points from the leader of the standings Tarakanita Jakarta.

In addition, there is an important thing that is no less important, which is about the slick appearance of the two new debutants of all of them. Derry and Martin have proven themselves both ready to play at senior level and they both can't wait for the next games, but before that they have to face the AFF U-17 trophy that is in front of their eyes.
