"Damn it, they're really putting pressure on all of us!" Fauzi hit hard his seat in the dressing room, he was so upset with their result in the first half.
You could say, their first half was all messed up. Cananga Youth can only make 2 shots on goal and ball possession that only touches 35. You could say, Buceros more dominating the course of the game in the first half.
Not to mention the Buceros team could steal a goal from them in the final minutes of the first half, increasingly making the mentality of the Cananga Youth Mining players become a little bounced down. This is definitely not a good thing for Coach Satria.
Coach Satria had to think of a way so that the mental of the students did not go down just because of that one goal. But he also knew how upset they were with the situation they were in. Martin alone became the most guilty figure, continued to cover his face with a towel and just silently did not make any sound even though the condition of the dressing room was a bit crowded and noisy about their babbling.
Rizaldi had just returned from the bathroom, he was performing a ritual that he could not show in front of the crowd. He finished drinking the Energy Booster drink he got from completing the mission of the system some time ago. Rizaldi also saw there were any items he might be able to use to restore the current state.
Looking at the tension going on in the dressing room, and seeing Martin bowing lethargic on the outskirts while covering his face with a towel, Rizaldi already knew what was really going on and he knew what to do.
"Is that the proper attitude of a team captain? Are you going to keep your head down like that until the game's over?" said Rizaldi who had just returned from the bathroom and it immediately made other players become glanced at him.
Rizaldi did not care about all the gazes that were heading towards him, he instead considered all those gazes like floodlights and himself was currently on a large stage and was doing a revolutionary oration.
"Would a captain display such a weak attitude? If the captain alone does not believe in himself and his own colleagues, then who should we all trust? Even when Guan Yu found out that he was being framed by Wu and Wei's forces at Fan Castle, he did not show the chaotic attitude of his soldiers!" Rizaldi was stirring, it felt like his blood was starting to boil and started to rise rapidly to the top of his head.
"Guan Yu? Ah he's been as crazy as Coach Dodi" Coach Satria doesn't believe Rizaldi included a reference to the Three Kingdoms in his oration earlier.
Martin, who had been bowed lethargic with a towel covering his face, now slowly began to lift his head and throw the towel covering his face in any direction. He begins to stand in motion like a last king in a video game, or a super villain who wants to show his threat level to heroes who want to block his ambitions.
Martin approached Rizaldi like a mortal enemy approaching his opponent, looking straight into Rizaldi's brownish eyes. There was no doubt in his eyes, in the eyes of Rizaldi also did not look afraid of all the things done by Martin earlier.
Dery and the others were prepared not to let anything bad happen, they were all prepared behind Rizaldi and also behind Martin, if at any time they both had a fistfight.
"Why do you always add weird references to your every word?" But, thank you, that's why I remembered my true original purpose!" martin said still with a sharp gaze, piercing into Rizaldi's eyes.
Rizaldi just smiled. "We're going to destroy them, the second half is ours!" he said, then all the players immediately cheered after hearing that.
"Coach Satria, we will do that in the second half, I think it will go well!" martin said and all the faces of other players also showed full confidence.
Coach Satria smiled like a psychopath, he really did not think he could try the strategy he had just compiled two days earlier in a very important game like this. "Well if that's what you want. 4-4-2 diamond pattern, don't forget all your practice on that day"
"Ready Coach!" say them simultaneously.
Then they all came together, forming a circle. They piled up all their palms, then in a matter of three they cheered together which made an echo in the dressing room room.
"Cananga Let's Goo!" they said it at the same time and they then returned to the field excitedly.
They returned to the field with a different face from the first half, their faces exuding the aura of the winner to anyone who saw it, could see there was victory there.
The players, staff and coaches of Buceros alone were astonished by the expressions of the Cananga Youth Mining players.
"What the hell is their face, do they not realize that they are finished?" alfian
"Well you're right, just 1 goal we can win with a weak team like this one" Ferdinand added
The Buceros players shut their mouths, they covered so they wouldn't get caught laughing. However, the Cananga Youth Mining players remained unmoved, they continued to keep their expressions that way until finally the whistle was blown by the referee and the second half was started.
"Come guys, we scored one more goal against Dery, so he regretted his decision to leave Buceros for a lowly club like them" Ananda Marska said and they began their strategy.
But the Cananga Youth Mining also does not want to want to lose just like that, they defend quite well and every set-up built by Buceros, always stopped in half the field only. Similarly, the Cananga Youth Mining team also did the same and experienced the same thing.
Maxx moved wide, he gave a cross that was so measured and beautiful, heading towards Ferdinand who was ready to head the ball and do an aerial duel with Cananga Youth defenders.
It was not too difficult for Ferdinand to win that aerial duel, he managed to defeat Mining defender Cananga Youth and head the ball into the goal guarded by Dery.
Dery did not want to once again pick up the ball from his goal, Dery immediately jumped towards the directed ball and managed to perfectly catch the ball a fairly dangerous header.
"Derrie!" Ferdinand yelled angrily at Dery for thwarting his attempt to score.
Dery smiled cynically. "I'm sorry Ferdinand, but from now on I don't want to have to pick up the ball because of you!" he said he kicked the ball forward.
Ferdinand was even more upset because of that, so he remembered his past when Dery was still in Buceros uniform. You could say, Dery was the one Ferdinand really hated.
From the first he really hated Dery, according to him Dery is a person who often underestimate others who do not have talent like him. So he hated it and was determined that he could kick a ball very hard into his face.
After that Buceros team continued to press Cananga Youth, but their efforts continued to be thwarted by the solid defense of Cananga or Dery's slick performance under the crossbar.
Ananda Marska and his friends are really made dizzy by what Martin-cs does. They were not aware that the Cananga Youth Mansion had actually changed their formation to a 4-4-2 diamond pattern, which further made their midfield very strong.
"Is their midfield this solid? I don't feel good!" ananda Marska said in her mind. He scanned for a little too long before he realized something was different from the opposing team.
At that time, Zaki immediately took the ball at Ananda's feet and made him surprised instead of playing. Zaki immediately carried the ball, he did links with the wingers on both sides, Axel and Fauzi. Before the ball was finally delivered to Rizaldi who prepared outside the penalty box.
The ball is at Rizaldi's feet now, the distance with the goal is now about 17m. Rizaldi did a little scanning area, although he was blocked by two defenders Buceros, but he remained calm.
Rizaldi made an individual move past the two players, he scanned the area again and saw Martin who was in a good position. However, he also saw a figure of Steven Liando who is escorting Martin, but Rizaldi still believes in Martin's ability and prefers to give bait to Martin.
"Why did he choose to give me bait?" That is what comes to Martin's mind when he receives the ball from Rizaldi. In fact, Rizaldi could have shot towards the goal when he managed to pass two defenders Buceros earlier. But Rizaldi instead chose to give the ball to Martin who is being closely guarded by Steven Liando.
Martin looked into Rizaldi's eyes, he saw complete confidence in his eyes. "Does he trust me that I can handle this player?" ask Martin again to himself.
Martin finally fulfilled his task. He received the ball and started dealing with a scourge that left him unable to do much until now, namely Steven Liando. Martin came forward against a wall he could not tear down since. Steven Liando smiled again at Martin's spirit, he could not wait to destroy the excitement.
Martin made a step-over move to outwit the big-bodied defender. But Steven Liando was not gullible, he did a tackle on the ball at Martin's feet. But Martin already knew that, Martin then did a beautiful flick movement and made Liando fooled.
Martin made it past Liando and is now moving forward to complete his task. But Liando did not give up, he immediately got up and chased after Martin. When Martin was about to make a shot, Liando immediately threw himself down and did a slide tackle. But once again Martin could figure it out, and he turned out to avoid Liando's slide tackle.
And Martin then did a diving shot alias curve shoot beautiful that flew into the goal Buceros very easily. Goalkeeper Buceros could not do anything, he was stunned by the ball's spin that swooped sharply into his net and let the ball into his net.
"Goll!" Martin shouted loudly, he immediately ran into a corner to celebrate the goal.
"Feed Martin!"
"What a beautiful gol!"
Martin continued to be visited by other Cananga Youth Mining players, but he did not see the figure of Rizaldi who already believed in him. As he looked for her, Rizaldi only looked smiling while giving a thumbs up at her.
"Okay guys, let's score one more goal and win this match!" martin said excitedly after scoring the equaliser.
Now the morale of Cananga Youth Mining players is back to normal, not even better than before. They are now even more eager to win this match and beat Buceros who have grossly underestimated their strength.
There's still time to turn things around, though, and they will continue to put a meaningful fight on Buceros and to prove to all of them that Cananga Youth Mining is not a team they can underestimate.
