Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 147: Becoming a Different Person In 90 Minutes

The training week has ended with Rizaldi and the other Cananga FC Mining retainers, they are a little difficult to adapt to the climate in South Korea that is much different from Indonesia. In the morning when they do exercise, the temperature can reach 10 degrees Celsius, like being in a room that has a very large AC. That's because, in South Korea is currently just entering spring, the transfer of climate from cold to mildly cool makes them have to be able to adapt well.

But they have overcome it, all the exercises they have faced and completed. On Saturday they held a game plan meeting as usual. Coach Giovanni wants to try a few things when they go up against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors on Sunday.

Usually, coach Giovanni will use a 4-2-1-3 formation by relying on the power of creativity possessed by Kenzo or Rizaldi, to make an attack on the opposing team's penalty box. The two holding behind Rizaldi are tasked to dispel the opponent's attack or cut off the flow of the ball that leads to the front, this is the task of their captain, Adam Sala.

But this time coach Giovanni wants to look a little different, he wants to use a 4-3-3 modern style formation. He wanted to see Rizaldi play on the wing, and that surprised Rizaldi a bit. But even though being surprised does not mean Rizaldi is not willing to do that, he can't wait to show his abilities. Moreover, Rizaldi had just had a new feature and by the time he opened the pack of player cards he had bought from the system store, he had many interesting cards in his hand.

That's what makes Rizaldi so impatient to wait for today, the day the first AFC Champions League game starts. The first-party group C in the AFC Champions League season will last a while longer.

Cananga FC's expansion is included in Group C along with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors of the K-League, Changzhou Mighty Lions of the CSL, and Al-Jazira of the UAE Pro League. This group is arguably a hell group for Cananga Mining. Because they immediately met with clubs that have a high level in Asia, such as the Korean league or UAE Pro League that many star players from outside play there.

Take Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. They are the winners of South Korea's top league, the K-League. Not only the K-League winners, they also became double winners in the last season after successfully winning the FA Cup South Korea as well. Unlike the Cananga FC who only finished runner-up in the I-LEAGUE last season, although they managed to win the Indonesian Cup. But meeting the double winners becomes a separate pressure for the Cananga FC Mining team, this becomes a benchmark whether they have developed for the better or not at all.

In addition Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors has an impressive record in the AFC Champions League this season. Al-Jazira from UAE Pro League also has a good record. Not from the record of the title they got in the last season is not, but more to the record of the players. Al-Jazira only occupied 3rd place in the UAE Pro League last season, but some of the best names in the world of football are at the club. Call it a name like a player who has won the world cup, played as a striker and had become the player with the most expensive price at the time of transfer and also has the highest salary. It was Kylian Mbappe.

After traversing the highest caste in European football, at the age of 36, Kylian Mbappe decided to play in the UAE Pro League. A fantastic salary is certainly one of the reasons Mbappe decided to move, even his salary in Al-Jazira at this time beat his salary in the Real Madrid uniform at that time. But despite failing to bring Al-Jazira to the title, Mbappe remains the top scorer in the top tier of the United Arab Emirates league by scoring 27 goals in a season with Al-Jazira. Mbappe is targeting a further along with Al-Jazira in his second season.

Rizaldi and others are very excited, the atmosphere in the dressing room feels so hot even though the current temperature in South Korea is cold. Then they all heard a notification inside the changing room telling them to get ready for the passageway immediately.

"Come on guys, it's time!" said Adam Sala and all members of Cananga FC Mining directly gathered nearby.

Adam resumed his speech before walking towards the hallway. "Gentlemen, we are at home to an opponent which means we are in an unfortunate situation. But we have to be able to turn that unfortunate situation into a strength of ours, we have to win by 3 points, for the sake of success and for the sake of our supporters who support directly here or who are supporting us from their respective homes. Cananga let's goooo!"

"Goooo!" they were all hooked by Adam Sala's once persuasive speech. They all then went straight into the hallway of the stadium.

Even when entering the field, seeing all the supporters of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors who packed the stadium also did not make the troops tremble red and black. Adam Sala led his flock to defeat the enemy within his own territory, it is his main mission today. The rumbling sounds of the opposing supporters would not scare him for today, not at all.

After a courtesy call with the referee and captain of the opposing team, Adam Sala returned to his friends' quarters and took pictures with his team-mates before kick-off the match today. Kick-off was done by the visitors, Ednilson Silva was already prepared in front to do kick-off.

Rizaldi has also made preparations, preparations to defeat one of the giants of the South Korean league. Rizaldi will use the player's card feature and is not responsible, he uses the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia card that he just got yesterday. On this day Rizaldi will look crazy, like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who appeared crazy with Napoli in the inaugural season in the 2022/23 season.

Rizaldi did it all for the sake of a victory, a victory that will have a positive impact on him and also for the club he plays for. When using the player's card, Rizaldi was immediately surprised by a thread containing a mission for him to complete in today's game, Rizaldi could only smile with satisfaction when he saw all the missions.

[Mission Today]

[Make a lot of chances for today]

[Core 1 goal with individual skill]

[Cat the record for the most touches on the ball and passes]

[Gift: Player grade B Card and 300 points]

"When the show starts!" rizaldi said then a whistle was sounded indicating today's match officially began.
