Football System: Classic Number 10
Episode 29's

The league finally started, we got the chance to play at home in the first game. All the preparations are ready, we are now very ready to face our first enemy, Palangka United.

Palangka United is one of the teams that play in I-Youth, based in the city of Palangkaraya.

According to estimates from Coach Dodi Surian, they will play a defensive scheme with a 5-4-1 formation. With five players at the back, it will be very difficult to penetrate their defence, not to mention the four midfielders who are also ready to help the defence, but we also have to be aware of the counter-attacks from them.

Their assailant, M. Cahyadi is one of the players we should be aware of. He has good skill, and also a very ideal posture to be a striker, not to mention he has a strong kick and good attacking instinct. With such data alone we can confirm that the person will be quite troublesome to our defense.

When I was in the hallway to the field, I had time to use the [God's Eye] skill that I got from the system. I looked at the status of the enemy player, and sure enough. M. Cahyadi is the star of this team.

He has a shot status [47], as well as having an attack [53]. It's obvious that he's a pure middle-class striker. Other than him, there are no more players who have very striking status, so I concluded that this team really depends on the figure of M. Cahyadi.

I was scared of M. Cahyadi? The answer is clearly no! I've been training really hard for a while now, and I've played against a bigger figure than the enemy striker, so what else am I afraid of.

While I was still fiddling with the system, a mission suddenly just walked in. A mission that seems to make me play as a true playmaker.

[Mission Has Been Received]

[Play As A Playmaker]

[Objective: 1. Do the bait 50 times

Make the chances 5 times

1 Assist for today]

[Gift: Popularity increases, manager confidence increases, status points +4]

[Punishment: popularity decreases, manager confidence decreases, all statuses decrease by 4 and cannot use the system for 3 days]

The mission this time is getting extreme I think. The punishment if it fails to complete its mission, the more difficult the day, as well as the missions. Today's mission really reflects the figure of a playmaker in midfield, very different from what I used to play but I don't want to give it up. I have to fight for today.

I patted my cheeks loudly a few times, surprising the entire hallway who immediately glanced at me with a puzzled look.

"Hey man, are you okay?"

I saw Cahyadi asking about my situation, I answered briefly. "I'm fine, a thousand percent fine"

After that, we were welcome to enter the field. As soon as we got onto the pitch, I heard the sound of the clapping of the people who came to watch this match.

Little came, maybe 50-70 people, including Keisha my own sister. I would love to return their applause by waving, but it is forbidden because we have to focus on the game we are going to face in a moment. So, to get back that big applause then we have to win in this opening game anyway.

After standing before the spectators and applauding, the referee called the two captains to a coin toss. I saw the referee throw a coin up, and stop it right on the back of the hand. From the results of the coin toss, we reserve the right to start kick-off first.

Kick-off started, the first ball went straight to me. The first touch I did right, for the first time I did a backward pass first to open the defense space of the enemy team and let the friends search for their respective positions.

"Rizaldi oper!"

"Rizaldi here!"

"Rizaldi bait ahead"

I kept passing the ball in our own area until the 10th minute. The defense of the enemy team was so difficult to break through, even they were so solid that it was very difficult to find a gap from them.

Until in the end, I saw there was an empty gap ahead there, I made a long passing bet to the opponent's defense area. I made a bet on whether my pass could be welcomed by the forwards, or not at all.

Turns out to be obtained, he performed a beautiful maneuver stabbing into the penalty box, and did a hard shooting after passing the enemy defender. However, unfortunately the ball is still wide to the left side of the goal and only make a goal kick only for the opposing team.

"Good shot!" I immediately shouted praise at the efforts of our forward, his name is Risadi.

"Keep doing bait like that Rizaldi! We can definitely score goals in the near future"

After the goal kick is done, the game continues with the same low tempo as before. Only we keep pressing, the enemy team tends to only defend because they feel they will not win against us if we play our open game.

Until the 18th minute, the goal we were waiting for finally happened. Starting from my one-two game with Ardi, we managed to dismantle the opponent's defense up to the penalty box. I didn't kick straight away against goal, I gave another pass to Risadi and he tap-in and became a goal.

"Gooollllll!" Risadi shouted loudly while pulling me to the side to celebrate the goal.

With so one objective of my mission completed and succeeded, I became more and more confident after making such an assist.

We kept on doing our high-level pressing game until in the second half rolling. Until the end, we won the game today 3-0. Palangkaraya United did not give too much resistance to us, they continued to focus on defending and defending from all the attacks we did.

I managed to record two assists in this first game, both assists were aimed at our striker Risadi who managed to score 2 goals. One more goal from the suicide of a Palangka United defender who wrongly anticipated a pull from me and even drove the ball into his own goal.

After the game was over, we applauded the crowd once more. I also waved to them and thanked them for their support for us, albeit a little bit but it still means a lot to me and the whole team. I see at the end there, Keisha also clapped her hands very excitedly.

After that we returned to the hallway that led to our locker room, on the way to the locker that I continued to hear the cheers by the cheers of the spectators who were very happy with our first victory. In addition I also heard a familiar voice in my ear, the sound of the old system I did not hear and I knew that I had successfully completed the mission today.
