Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 42: Debut Day?

Finally the day that Rizaldi was waiting for came. As pungguk longs for the moon he is waiting for him, and finally that day comes. The first game that will be played by him.

It also depends on the decision of Coach Satria more, because young people decide who plays today in the game at this time. Of course Coach Satria wants to win in this competition, a series of draws and losses in the last 5 games has made him dizzy-headed. Not to mention the internal problems in his squad that did not subside, he was too prestige to ask for help to Coach Dodi Surian or Coach Giovanni Almeida. Hence Coach Satria Hutama preferred to solve this problem with his own ability, as he felt he could still cope with this.

Rizaldi Fatah's fate today is in the hands of Coach Satria Hutama, and what Rizaldi already knows is that he will not be playing regularly on this day as he was on the B-team. He was very confident of that, even he dared to run 30 full rounds if Coach Satria would enter him from the first round.

But even though Rizaldi is confident that he will not play from the first minute, but he is also not sure that he will make his debut today because he remembers Coach Satria's temperament like that. But still, Rizaldi is full of hope that today he can play against the Fiume Blu Lulut team.

Fiume Blu Lulut itself is a team that is also in Banjarmasin City, precisely in the Lulut River District. They occupy the mid-table of the Central Zone standings at this time, located a few levels above Cananga Mining the defending champion who is slumping at this time.

Winning is also in their main mission, defeating the defending champion is one way to improve the fighting spirit and morale of the players and it is very important for all of them. And for Cananga Mining, this fight is an absolute fight. Winning is the only thing they have to achieve in the final result later, if they draw again or lose then the finish is their history in wading I-Youth.

For this reason, before entering the field, Coach Satria first gathers his foster children to gather in the dressing room. He is explaining the tactics that he will apply in the game at this time, and also tells them all which players should be wary of today's game.

First there is their centre-back named Andra Hariyanto. The number 3 back player who has the posture is ideal as a defender, with a height of 180cm and a weight of 78kg which is all muscle. Forward players will certainly find it difficult to duel or to penetrate the defense of their team.

"That's why we have to strengthen our midfield. The flow of the ball in midfield should be able to flow smoothly like a river flow, if we can do that maybe we can slowly dismantle their defense like water eroding hard rocks!" coach Satria.

The young ammo nodded slowly, they completely understood what Coach Satria had explained earlier. Now they are ready to face their opponents out there.

"Ever once again remember!" Coach Satria gave one more word. "Always stay on our starting formation, we have to press from the start of the half because they played quite passively in these few games" 

"Ready Coach!" say them all at the same time.

"Then, are there any further questions before we go into the spaciousness?" 

All the players fell silent, not out of fear but because they felt enough with Coach Satria's explanation before. That way Coach Satria told them to leave, but before that there was one young man who suddenly raised his hand just before they left. 

See who did that. Dery, Zaki and Axel could only giggle softly. Yes, the child who raised his hand before they disbanded was none other than Rizaldi Fatah the new child.

Coach Satria's face changed a little, but he tried to act a little professional. "What do you want to ask the new kid? Do you want to know that today is your debut day? I can't answer that" 

"It's not Coach!"

"What lounge?" Coach Satria is getting upset.

Coach Satria tilted his head, he thought who the figure of this young man in front of him who had dared to correct him. The young man spoke again. "Sorry coach, if I look like I'm patronizing" and that makes Coach Satria even more upset.

But even though he was upset Coach Satria only showed a stiff and cold face, just as often done by Coach Giovanni the idol. And Coach Satria finally told his foster children to immediately go to the field because the game will begin soon, without answering or responding to the opinion of Rizaldi earlier.

Rizaldi also had no problem with it, from the beginning he just said that it was just his personal opinion. So, he went with the others to go outside, but the difference is that he has to sit on the bench, not on the pitch.

Although impressed not care about Rizaldi's opinion. Coach Satria actually opened a panel containing his strategy and also the names of enemy players. He checked the player mentioned by Rizaldi earlier, the number 12 player who plays as a wing-back and the number 10 player who is their attacker.

"There's nothing special about them, is he just saying nonsense?" Coach Satria had a dialogue with himself, he wondered why Rizaldi had warned him about the players.

While engrossed in his world, Coach Satria is shocked by an attack from an enemy team. Utilizing a midfield error, the enemy team immediately docked in from the flank, then the ball was flowed into the middle by the number 12 to the number 10 player. 

His position is so good, he is 1 vs 1 against Dery. He kicked the ball towards Dery's far side, but unfortunately it looks like it's Dery's day. Dery managed to thwart the goal with a beautiful save. The ball goes out and produces a corner kick for the enemy team.

"Almost!" Coach Satria stroked his chest on the edge of the field, then after that he began to understand what was meant by Rizaldi earlier.

"The number 12, he is a wing-back but he has very good passing accuracy. And the number 10 player, although he is not the top scorer in the team but he has scored 5 goals from 5 games. Why didn't I realize that! And this game of theirs, they don't intend to play through the side of the field, but rather they will attack through the middle!" The expression of Coach Satria who had just realized the enemy's tactics was like one who had just realized the hardest puzzle.

He looked towards Rizaldi who was focused on watching the match, his eyes following the direction where the ball was. Even when the ball is thrown far ahead by his team's defenders, he also does not stop following.

"Rizaldi!" Coach Satria called out to Rizaldi and immediately disbanded his vision.

"Yes Coach?"

"You want to know when your debut is?" 

"I don't know Coach" Rizaldi replied briefly, because indeed he wouldn't know that.

Coach Satria smiled a little, his smile was like Coach Giovanni's smile when he received a new knife. "Your debut is today!" Coach Satria said and it immediately made Rizaldi so happy not to play.

"Good Coach I'm ready anytime!" rizaldi said with a big smile. Along with the news, Rizaldi also gets a mission from the system that will give him some more benefits later on.
