Chapter 166: Good News Always Come After Bad News


Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. Morning at nine in the morning, the weather in England is the same as usual. A cloudy sky and a hint of rain drenched the city of Milton Keynes.


Seen someone was running through the rainy streets, he ran quickly for fear of getting too wet because of this drizzling rain. After a while of running, he arrived at his destination. It's a football stadium.


The stadium is a football stadium used as the headquarters of the team from Milton Keynes which was founded in 2004, namely Milton Keynes Dons. MK Stadium, that's the name of the stadium. Because it is Friday in England, the atmosphere in the stadium is fairly quiet because usually people will meet the stadium if there is a game or when relaxing on the weekend.


The man went to the third floor of the stadium, where the staff and the club management did their job. Why did the man go to that place? The answer is, because the figure was the current head coach of Milton Keynes Dons FC, Thomas Andrews.


What makes Thomas Andrews go rushing and even running through the rain is, a news from the management that makes him surprised and not out of thought.


This happened because, after Thomas was willing to fly all the way to Indonesia to meet one of the great talents who he believed could be very suitable with his style of play, he said, and even Thomas Andrews has done deals on transfers. Thomas Andrews was surprised by the management who did not like what Thomas did, and even told Thomas to cancel the negotiations that have occurred with one of the young talents owned by Indonesia, namely Rizaldi Fatah who currently plays for Cananga FC Mining.


Thomas, who was upset with the attitude of the management who decided it at will, immediately protested to them, that's why he was willing to rain on a day that he should not go to work.


"I don't like your choice, Thomas! You picked a talent that came from a third country like him? Isn't there anyone better than that guy? I'm sure, in Brazil more young people are better than him?" peter Cumberbatch is the owner of the club.


"I know that, but I'm pretty sure this kid will be something that really shines in the next five to ten years, no. Maybe he only needs 2 seasons to prove he deserves to play here" Thomas Andrews is still tough on his argument.


But Peter Cumberbatch, the owner of the club, would not listen to what Thomas said. According to him, it is not profitable at all if you have to buy one of the players from a country whose level is still a third country. Peter wants a better player than that, and believes there are still many better players than Thomas is proposing to his table at the moment.


"I don't want to hear anything about that third-country player from your mouth Coach Thomas. If you still insist on getting the player's file to my table, I'll fire you today" Peter Cumberbatch said.


Thomas was silent, actually he wanted to keep talking but the threat from the owner of the club scared him. He is not afraid of the owner of the club who he says does not know about football, he is only afraid of losing his job as a coach. Given the many things he has built here, and it would be very unreasonable if he was fired just because of a disagreement.


Coach Thomas could only scold the owner of the club because that was all he could do. Until Thomas was in his room, he directly hit the table very hard. While berating the owner of the club with the name 'ape'. After that, Thomas contacted the agent of the player he wanted to tell him the bad news he had just received today.


Jakarta early morning.


"What, you're not kidding, are you Mr Thomas?" andra Almeida's voice sounded like she had just gotten bad news.


And that's exactly what happened. In the early hours like this, he got a call from England there, a call directly from Coach Thomas who coached MK Dons. The message was essentially, telling Andra that the agreement between them about the move of Rizaldi Fatah to MK Dons had been canceled by the club owner.


Andra Almeida continues to convince Coach Thomas Andrews, but the more he convinces Coach Thomas, the smaller the chances. Coach Thomas also deeply regrets the attitude of club management, even though he was very much looking forward to working with Rizaldi Fatah.


"Argh is useless!" Andra threw her phone into the bed, already feeling very upset.


Andra became silent and mused in his room, he tried to find a way to overcome this problem but he was also confused about how because he had just plunged into the world of football like this.


The face of disappointment and sadness Rizaldi started to cross his mind, he did not want to see that no matter what. He had promised Rizaldi to help him raise his career to a higher level, for that he was forced to do the last way. He wants to post Rizaldi's games to social media and hopes someone is interested in it.


But before doing that, he was surprised by the ringtone sound of his cellphone that suddenly sounded. The hopeful face returned, as if light was beginning to fill his face again.


"Did the club's owners start to change their minds?" before reaching for his phone.


But that hopeful face that returned suddenly turned into a face full of confusion. It was not the number from Coach Thomas that appeared on his phone screen, but instead the unknown number that appeared.


"Who is this? Does he want a prank?" Andra asked herself.


He was actually hesitant to pick up the phone from the unknown number, let alone the number is an international number so it is increasingly suspicious that Andra made it. But Andra still lifted him and intended to make the figure who tried to prank him, become a place to vent his anger.


"Hello is this the number of a young football agent named Rizaldi Fatah?" a masculine man's voice was heard, and he also knew about Rizaldi Fatah.


"Yes, I am indeed a young football agent named Rizaldi Fatah. Sorry who is this?" Suddenly Andra was astonished.


The masculine man was heard laughing for a moment, before returning to answer Andra Almeida. "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself before, my name is David Beckham who owns a 10 percent stake in a club that plays in the third tier of the English league at the moment, Salford FC. I'm a bit interested in this player called Rizaldi Fatah so I want to negotiate with him about a potential transfer"


Andra immediately fell silent, she just threw her cellphone. "What a bad way to fool someone" he said.


Andra Almeida doesn't care anymore, she doesn't believe in the unknown number. But what happened afterwards made Andra even more head-scarred. The man who claimed to be David Beckham immediately activated a video call and clearly emblazoned the face of a masculine man who became the prima donna of every woman.


Despite his age, Andra Almeida cannot say that the person who is currently making a video call with him is not David Beckham. It was indeed the real David Beckham, hastily Andra Almeida hung up because she was embarrassed by her makeup that was not ready to meet someone as handsome as David Beckham.
