Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 32: Passing the Crossbar

Because we will play an away match, we also went to Tanjung using the club's bus. The bus is slightly different from the one often used by the first team when visiting the opposing team, the bus used by the Youth team is either team A or team B is slightly smaller than the first team bus.

Although different load capacity, the size of the small, or the specifications of the bus itself. But for the comfort of the moment in it is no doubt. Just like now, I felt so comfortable after sitting in the seat near the window of the bus. The seat and cushion felt so soft, as if I could have been sucked into it.

Although the atmosphere in the bus was like a war between the pirates and the naval forces, but because of the very comfortable feeling given by this chair, the, it felt like I was watching a musical drama typical of medieval theater that the composer often wore fake hair to cover the baldness he experienced.

The trip is quite far to make them try to eliminate their fatigue by joking around on the bus, or just enjoy the song on the headset just like I do today. I was busy listening to my favorite song while occasionally my eyeballs glanced at the beautiful trees that were moving pseudo because of the speed of the bus, captain Ardi then approached me to sit next to me who was still empty.

"What song?" tanyanya, sort of doing ice breaking before having a conversation.

I answer them without much lies or exaggeration. "Simple Plan - Welcome to My Life" I said, even though I was a little embarrassed by my musical tastes that could be said to be outdated.

I saw Ardi's face a little surprised, it's only natural because what year it is and I still listen to Simple Plan. I love Simple Plan because the music feels like it saved my life which was always a bullyan object, especially this Song Save My Life song that can really save my life.

But it turns out I was wrong, I think Ardi was surprised because of my crazy musical taste. But it turned out that he opened his bag and looted all its contents, like a mole digging his nest. Then from inside his bag, he showed a brooch pin that depicted the members of the band Simple Plan.

I was shocked just like Ardi was, and then we laughed together, like the man who had just met his brother.

Then we both dissolve in nostalgia, yes because we listen to songs that can be said to be old and try to feel how exciting the generation who have heard this song in their youth.

"Rizaldi" suddenly Ardi patted me on the shoulder, I immediately turned to the side. "It looks like you've grown a lot huh, very different from a while ago"

I felt good to hear it, but I tried to make that expression invisible to Ardi. I just gently deny it. "Captain really likes to joke, I think I'm still the same as I was a while ago"

"No" said Ardi again, his eyes staring far out the window as if he could see the time ahead there. "You're going to be a great player in the future, I'm sure of that"

I don't know what else to say after hearing that, I just kept quiet and said nothing. Silence is like a statue awaiting its destruction as the porous was eroded by the times, before at last Risadi's arm coiled around my neck. I didn't even realize his existence at all.

"What the captain said is true, because it was you that I scored 2 goals yesterday. You really can be the attack motor of our team Zaldi! I don't think it takes long for you to be promoted to team A" said Risadi who immediately entered our chat.

"Yes, maybe you'll be promoted to team A after our game today"

"Ahhh captain follow along too!"

After that the three of us laughed, the relationship between the three of us also went like the way this bus did not feel that it had reached its destination.

We all went down, I see on the field there are already Tanjung Mining Way players who look to have made preparations. Their gazes were so sharp the moment they saw our arrival. Coach Dodi Surian first greeted the coach from the enemy team, they chatted a little while very friendly. Then he returned to our place by giving a clear order. "Hurry to prepare yourself and come back here again in a state that is ready to compete" he said.

Then we went to pack up and do a little bit of preparation, after which we went back to the field and prepared for the match today.

As usual, we first listened to the instructions of Coach Dodi Surian first before going on to the field to compete.

"understand!" say us at the same time.

"Good! Let's prove to them how good your game is!"

We started to get into the field, but before entering the field I fixed the loose shoelaces. Actually I was just doing it for the transfer of the issue, because as usual I was receiving a mission from the system. Instead of having to wait around like a confused person, I better pretend to put on shoelaces.

[Mission Received!]

[Do link with other players: 0/50]

[Try shooting from 20 meters away]

[Turned in assists]

[Gift: B grade skill card]

[Punishment: User cannot access the system for a week]

Missions were more or less the same as what I received in the inaugural match yesterday, but there was little difference. Moreover, shooting from a distance of 20 meters, or from outside the penalty box anyway. I don't know if I should go in or not, but I should try.

The match started from the kick-off of the host, as we usually do high pressing strategy when we are not holding the ball.

Of course, our strategy always makes the opposing team surprised, we are right to do high pressing but our goal is not directly to seize the ball from the opponent's feet, we overshadowed them and closed them down so they had little choice but to release the ball like they are doing at the moment.

My teammates guard against enemy players, there is one person who tries to shadow and snatch the player who is holding the ball. The player did not have much choice, he also gave a pass to his partner but in a desperate situation, which is the ultimate goal of all of us.

When he did that, the given ball was so weak that I immediately cut the path of the weak ball.

"Damn!" I could hear the player instantly swearing as I cut off the path of his bait.

He tried to chase me, but I was a little faster than him. I carried the ball forward, I remembered the mission that required me to shoot from outside the penalty box. Because the space is open as well, I think it's a good situation to take a speculative kick.

Then finally I just do the kick, I aim for the bottom corner of the goal with a fairly sharp turn. Apparently the kick had made the ball rolling very fast in the direction I wanted, the enemy goalkeeper could not move because of a dead step and made the ball into the goal without experiencing the slightest resistance.

"Goooll!" my teammates yelled before me who shouted that word, I finally laughed and celebrated the goal with a potluck because I think this is just the beginning of the good things we will do today.

In the end, a long whistle sounded. We won with a score of 5-1, 1 goal from me in the 3rd minute, Risadi who managed to record a hat trick today and one more goal from the substitute. I also recorded 3 assists today for Risadi's goals. My combination with Risadi is getting stronger because every time I give a pass, Risadi is always confident that he can make the pass as a goal.

We celebrated our away win this time with a meal at a simple restaurant in Tanjung. And you know for yourself, whose money will run out today for this victory celebration.
