Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 50: The Last Practice Before Matchday

After explaining the training menu to his protege, Coach Satria immediately started their training today. Rizaldi also already knows what his role during the match will be like, the picture is also already in his head but it seems like the thing he imagined was much more difficult when applied.

Coach Satria tried a 4-4-2 formation with a diamond pattern, Martin was plotted as a front striker and behind him was Rizaldi who filled the role as Trequarista. This is an outdated and old-fashioned tactic, but Coach Satria wants to do high stakes with this strategy.

"I'm sure they will be using a modern 4-3-3 formation, with their tendency to do a lot of possession" said Coach Satria, who watches them from close range.

The attack scenario using Trequarista has been done several times, but Rizaldi still can not get the momentum or the right way to do the scheme. He who is often a playmaker or ordinary central midfielder, a little difficulty leaving the habit.

Martin has also been a little overwhelmed to face it, finally he was a little out of control and judged that Rizaldi was not ready to become a Trequarista. "You play like Toni Kross, Luka Modric or Kevin de Bruyne. You should play like Alesandro Del Piero or Francesco Totti"

While wiping off the sweat on his face, Rizaldi replied. "I know that too. But it's hard to get too used to playing like that rather than starting something new"

The answer from Rizaldi does make sense, he is not a talented player who can immediately in one try. In general cases this should not be done in the near future especially in one day just like the case of Rizaldi.

Martin also understood that, if he was asked to do something like that he could spend a very long time. Trequarista is not an easy thing to learn, so only a few players who really succeed in becoming a Trequarista.

Martin also understands the difficulties experienced by Rizaldi. Rizaldi who is used to playing as a Playmaker only really still has a mindset like a Playmaker, he continued to give the right pass to Martin at a time when Martin was getting a good position or space that Rizaldi managed to open.

Indeed, one of the functions of Trequarista is more or less the same as Playmaker in the modern era, but what Coach Satria wants is not like that. Coach Satria wants to make Rizaldi awaken killer instinct on Rizaldi by making him a Trequarista.

"Try a little greedy just once, when you manage to open the room try to make a shot or do an attacking initiation, just ignore me" Martin gave a little advice to Rizaldi.

Rizaldi was a little surprised to hear the suggestion, he just did not expect Martin to be able to give such advice. Rizaldi's face certainly looks moved.

"Just do what I told you to do!" Martin became annoyed after seeing that face.

They then re-simulated the attack scheme. Starting from the ball given by Fauzi to Rizaldi. The ball gets to Rizaldi's feet, the defender has started to try to close the movement space and space that can be utilized by Rizaldi.

Rizaldi remained calm, he still had the ball under his feet and was still in control of his mind. He did a little scanning which is one of his habits on the field, he saw Martin who is in the most profitable position at the moment. But when Rizaldi took a swing to give a bait to Martin, Martin immediately made eye contact to him. Rizaldi then remembered that if he had to do this alone or not he would not be able to become a Trequarista that the team needs on Sunday.

So in the end, Rizaldi made a spin to trick the defender who confronted him. Rizaldi managed to escape the obstacles of the two defenders, the two defenders were of course not willing to just stay silent after being passed by Rizaldi. They continued to chase Rizaldi who dribbled to the side of the penalty box, but unfortunately their sprint lost heavily to Rizaldi. Rizaldi is now one-on-one with the goalkeeper, who else besides Dery.

"For Rizaldi! Give all your best to me" Dery challenged Rizaldi to a duel and of course there was no other choice but to accept the challenge.

Rizaldi smiled, then he shot into the far side of the goal. Dery can read the direction of the ball, he immediately threw his body towards the ball and made a brilliant rescue by pushing the ball out of the field. His rescue was like the rescue of a world-class goalkeeper, even the other players who saw it immediately amazed.

"Oh yeah!" Dery who managed to thwart Rizaldi's goal immediately did the celebration.

While Rizaldi was kneeling his head that was not really sick, he was only a little frustrated after seeing the golden opportunity was successfully thwarted by Dery. "I guess I still can't fight you. Argh you just lured me in!" Rizaldi seemed a little regretful of what he had done earlier, he felt he could do better than that.

Martin's coming. "That was good, we just need to do a few more simulations before you can really master it. About the business you can give bait or not to me at that time, no need to discuss anymore. Sometimes you have to be more selfish, even if it's bad, but it's also part of football!"

Rizaldi and Dery were immediately silent, they seemed to see a different person in the figure of Martin. Martin does not care about the opinion of Rizaldi and Dery, all he cares about right now is how to defeat the enemy in front of him. His attention is distracted by Buceros, he wants to really give a serious lesson to a club that likes to underestimate that other team.

Coach Satria's whistle rang, they all turned their faces towards the direction where Coach Satria was standing. "Let's start one more time, which was already good so keep it up and make it even better"

"Yes Coach!" answer them all, then they go back to doing the scheme a few times, until they have better understand the scheme.

Until finally the training session was over, although it was over but Rizaldi still tried several times the scheme until he really understood the role of Trequarista. Martin, Derry, Fauzi, Axel and several other players also helped Rizaldi extra training. They are curious about what it would be like if Rizaldi could really explore the role of Trequarista later, so they make the motivation to practice extra.

Until Coach Satria intervened to handle them all, Coach Satria immediately blew a whistle as loud as it was. The sound of the whistle was like the sound of the trumpet of war, until it made them immediately frightened.

After packing, Rizaldi went back to his house. He just walked to his house, but Dery already wanted to give him a ride but Rizaldi refused. Rizaldi wanted to breathe a little air at night, and thought a little about the role of Trequarista on the road to the house, so he refused Dery's invitation.

While heading home, Rizaldi continued to think about what he had to do so that his role as Trequarista was getting better and patent. He realized that he could not master it in one day, even players of the caliber of Michel Platini or Alesandro Del Piero must also experience the process.

Rizaldi thought of various ways, ranging from doing short passes before stabbing into enemy areas, or performing individual movements as he did during the exercise earlier. Because of thinking too much about it, Rizaldi did not realize that he had reached his front door and he hit the door of his own house.

"Awww.awww" Rizaldi who was in pain stroked his forehead.

The door opened, which opened was Keisha who showed a face full of confusion. Keisha was confused by the figure of his brother, why he even hit the door of his own house, that's what he had in mind.

Rizaldi did not greet Keisha who was at the door, his mind was too focused on the Trequarista problem, so he just passed into the house, then into his room - took off his clothes and went to take a bath.

Arriving at the dinner table at dinner, he still thought about it until he forgot the food that had been served on the table.

"Dec why brother?" his mother was certainly worried about the figure of his first child, not usually himself like that so that made his mother worried.

"Keisha doesn't know ma. From that brother already" Keisha acted as if she did not care, but deep down she kept thinking about what happened to her brother.

Rizaldi's mother felt strange, she tried to move her hands right in front of Rizaldi's face and still there was no change at all, Rizaldi still seemed not to be there even though his body was there. Rizaldi's mother looked back at Keisha and Keisha just shook her head.

"But! Bang Izal!" call his mother while slightly patting the back of Rizaldi's hand, so Rizaldi finally realized from his daydream.

Rizaldi was surprised instead of playing, because he had previously dissolved in daydreams. "What's the matter ma?"

"You're even more, it's food in the meal, if it can be cold later"

Because asked by his mother, Rizaldi finally ate, but his mind was still on Trequarista until it became a little crazy shadow if the term Malay. Seeing her child like that, the mother had already taken off her hands and just shook her head.

Then it was Keisha's turn to disturb her sister. "Abang! Tomorrow's last match, brother?" said it.

Without much looking Rizaldi replied. "Yes"

"Keisha can come with me? Mama also said she wanted to watch, didn't she?"

"Want to come?" Rizaldi immediately gasped when he heard his mother wanted to watch the match.

But his mother's face was a little somber, it seemed at first he did want to watch his son, but it turns out that tomorrow he had to go to work and overtime. Rizaldi was a little disappointed, but he thought 'want how else' he smiled and thanked his mother for the intention.

"Calm down, brother. Brother must still support mom even though mom can not come directly to the match place" said her mother with a sweet smile on her face.

Rizaldi also smiled, then he continued eating while continuing to think about the thing that had been a little disturbing. Believe me, that night Rizaldi couldn't sleep a little better.
