Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 37: Paying for Everything

Cananga Youth-B Mining players are having fun and getting excited after they managed to get back to positive results and continue their winning streak. They were all humming, singing victory songs, throwing jokes and flattery at players they considered to be the most influential players in the match against SAGT ASPAS this time around.

"Damn you Rizaldi! Your game every day is getting better I see"

"You're right captain, look at that kick from outside Rizaldi's penalty box! Until the enemy goalkeeper can only see the ball without being able to move over the ball"

"Yes really, that's great!"

Rizaldi Fatah who continues to be flattered can only smile with a smile that shows his white teeth slightly shuffled, that smile also at the same time hide his biggest secret that he does not want to reveal to many people.

Actually, it was not Rizaldi Fatah who played on the field for 90 minutes. In an untrue sense, Rizaldi used someone else's ability to play in the match. How could he do that? Of course he can.

Rizaldi Fatah is a user of the system, he gets a strange system and gets used to it. During the previous game, Rizaldi got a mission from the system and he managed to complete it well. Because of completing the mission, Rizaldi also gets a reward like a person who has done his job well and earned enough wages.

At that time Rizaldi got a gift in the form of a football card. What exactly is a football card? According to Rizaldi's knowledge, the card contains famous football players around the world and later he will get random results, then he can play like the players he got within a certain time limit.

Yesterday Rizaldi got a D grade football card, the smallest level before E. By the time he opened the football card he was getting the Frank Lampard Card at the time his prime had expired, or by the time he moved from Chelsea to Manchester City in the 2014/15 season. At that time Frank Lampard appeared with Manchester as many as 8 goals and 2 assists in all competitions.

Indeed it is a card that is considered quite dregs, but for Rizaldi Fatah it is more than enough. He did not want to be too flashy so that the system was not revealed and known to others, and the ability of Frank Lampard in that year also exceeded the players who were here.

'One goal and one key pass today was enough' Rizaldi Fatah said in his heart, holding his chest with his heart pounding nervously.

In his nervousness, Rizaldi was startled by Ardi who patted him on the shoulder several times. Ardi clearly saw the nervousness radiating out of Rizaldi's eyes and he gave a little input to him as to what a team captain should do. "Believe yourself, I'm sure you'll be called to team-A in the near future. And if you really go to team-A, don't think about us anymore, we'll continue the fight even without you guys"

"Captain!" rizaldi's eyes began to sparkle, it was true that Rizaldi was also a little nervous and afraid to leave them all, those who played for the B-team.

During this time they became friends with Rizaldi, for almost 3 months he had fought with all of them and of course it was more than enough to make a deep bond. Rizaldi realized he could not be here constantly, he wanted to chase his other friends playing in Team A. Therefore he continues to train and show his best game to make it happen.

He waited for the moment, where the staff and the coaching team would knock on the door of the dressing room and call his name to be taken to the office and talk about what he really wanted to hear. Surely he still hopes.

Time has begun to be wasted long enough, the dressing room that was crowded will frenzied the sound of victory, now began to dim until they no longer heard their voices. All that was heard was the sound of ropes tying each other to form a knot, and the sound of water descending from the container in which it was placed.

In the dressing room there are still Ardi and Rizaldi. Rizaldi was known to them as the occupants of the dressing room, because he was the one who was always the last person to be there and the first one was also there.

"Are you ready to go home Rizaldi?"

"Not the captain" Rizaldi said as he continued to tie his shoelaces, it seemed like he wanted to do a few rounds of running first before heading home.

The captain knew what Rizaldi was going to do, so he did not comment much and gave little advice. "Don't push yourself too much, remember! We will always support you at any time" he said and he went home.

"Thank you captain!" rizaldi said slowly, maybe only the wind and the herd of night animals could hear his thanks.

Rizaldi then prepared to go to the field once again to do his habit, running 10 rounds. Just as he was about to open the door, Rizaldi looked at the doorknob that was moving inside.

"The cup is still here yet Rizaldi" Coach Dodi Surian's face was seen behind the door.

Coach Dodi smiled satisfied to see his foster this one, his fighting spirit was indeed convincing. Coach Dodi then remembered the reason he came to see Rizaldi, before Rizaldi went to do the round he immediately stopped him.

"Rizaldi, I want you to come with me"

"Where's Coach?" Rizaldi was quite confused by Coach Dodi's invitation.

"Have come along do not ask a lot of questions" answered Coach Dodi half jokingly, did not have a choice much finally Rizaldi followed Coach Dodi.

Rizaldi follows Coach Dodi Surian from behind, realising that he is being taken by Coach Dodi to a place where the coaching staff and team usually gather. His heart immediately felt nervous, he wondered in himself whether he would be promoted to the A-team. Because Rizaldi was so nervous that he did not realize that he had reached the door of the meeting room and he hit the door quite hard.

"Rizaldi! You're not okay, son?" Coach Dodi Surian looks confused and feels sorry for Rizaldi.

"I'm fine Coach!" Rizaldi held onto his forehead which had been hit by the high-quality wooden door.

Coach Dodi Surian knocked on the door a few times quietly, then he slowly opened the door while shaking his head slowly.

As Rizaldi entered the room, he saw that many of the staff and coaching team were covering their mouths with their hands. It seemed like they were holding back their laughter, Rizaldi realized why they were all like that and he then felt ashamed of himself at last.

"Hei Ward Prowse" Coach Giovanni's voice as cold as the rain in November immediately made the atmosphere in the room cool, like there was a storm in there.

"Please sit in that seat Ward Prowse"

Coach Giovanni told Rizaldi Fatah to sit in a pre-prepared spot. While looking down Rizaldi sat down, he was still a little annoyed because Coach Giovanni just kept calling him Ward Prowse.

"I don't think you need to explain much anymore. Especially when I see your face it's so clear that you understand what you're going through next. Whether it's excessive self-confidence or stupidity that comes from your confidence"

"I'm sorry Coach, but I really don't have a clue why I was brought here" Rizaldi said, although he was sure that he would be promoted to the A-team, he did not want to speak the truth.

Finally the coaching team and staff also said at the same time, what Rizaldi really wanted did happen. He was promoted to Team A starting from tomorrow.

Hearing the news, Rizaldi immediately bowed limp. He suddenly cried, not a cry of suffering but a cry of happiness that he could no longer describe in words. It felt like all the struggles he had put in, all the sacrifices he had made and all the pain he went through now paid off in cash.

He still did not expect and believed that he would join the A-team tomorrow, he still did not say goodbye to his comrades in the B-team.

"For that matter, you can still do it tomorrow, Ward Prowse! You're promoting to the A-team, not playing abroad to the point of leaving them all behind" Coach Giovanni slightly corrected Rizaldi Fatah's mistake.

Aware of the mistake he made, Rizaldi Fatah apologized and bowed his body to everyone in the room. He was truly grateful to all of them, especially Coach Dodi Surian who had guided him in the B-team.

"Thank you Coach Dodi for the opportunity and lessons Coach gave" said Rizaldi, then he held the hand of Coach Dodi Surian and kowtowed before him.

"You don't have to do that!" Coach Dodi stopped what his foster son was doing, Coach Dodi gives a close hug to Rizaldi and while hugging him she gives some last advice to Rizaldi's ears that Rizaldi will always remember until anytime.
