Before starting training on this day, all of Cananga Youth Mining players gathered in the dressing room while looking at their respective smartphones. They are looking at the draw of the top 32, this will determine who the enemy they will face in the last 32 matches.
The situation experienced by Cananga Youth Mining is somewhat arguably a little loss, because they are runners-up of their group, they could have met the leader of one of the groups. Their chances of meeting one of the 12 group leaders were quite large.
"If you can choose, what team do you want us to meet?" Dery asked Martin.
Martin is still focused on seeing the draw, Ponaryo Astaman the legendary Indonesian player still looks busy ruffling pots containing the names of clubs who are ready to compete in the top 32 later. Martin also spoke. "If you can choose, I want us to meet Makassar Pinisi, or maybe Sriwijaya United. They are strong teams that have the potential to win the league this time"
"What about Malang Azufre? They were quite troublesome for us last season" Fauzi was in the chat.
Martin again answered Fauzi's question with great ease and keen analysis. "No. They cannot get back to their best form like last season. The departure of their best players to other clubs makes this team quite injured, can be seen from their record in the group who only managed to finish second"
Fauzi and the other players nodded, like they understood what Martin said, when in fact they did not even understand all or maybe half, they only seemed to understand.
Ponaryo Astaman is halfway read the names of the clubs that will compete, but there is still no name of Cananga Youth mentioned by Ponaryo. Until finally the name of Cananga Youth Mining was withdrawn from the lottery pot and read by Ponaryo Astaman.
"Good friends, we will know in a moment our enemy" Martin tried to calm his comrades who were getting impatient after the name of the club was called.
"The Yephapura Black Diamond!" ponaryo Astaman's excited voice was heard from all their smartphones, and the faces of the Youth Cananga players began to turn quite serious.
"The worst of the worst is yes" Martin commented after knowing who they were going to face.
All the players showed a serious face, their faces like people who were focused on removing the rest of the digestion in the bathroom, usually they sat or squatted on a throne called Toto.
Seeing that quite serious situation, Rizaldi was quite astonished. He asked the others but they did not answer Rizaldi at all, they were still silent in silence. Then Coach Satria emerged from his room to answer Rizaldi's question.
"Jayapura Black Diamond, a terrible enemy for our team. You must be wondering why? Because it feels like a team that has what is called 'perfection' in their team" Coach Satria said
"Perfection?" Rizaldi was still confused.
"Yes perfection! They have pace, they have resilience, they have individual ability, they are a very complete team. They are the Brazilians of Indonesia" Coach Satria replied again.
Jayapura Black Diamond, a club in the Capital of Papua Province is indeed known as one of the strong teams, namely, their senior team even won the league and shield cup and crowned themselves as the first team to win the Double Winner when the Indonesian league format changed to what it is today.
Perhaps because the natural factors are still a little more beautiful than other major cities in Indonesia, making them more accustomed to nature that forms their identity like this.
Especially for players who come from the Papua region there, they are endowed with unusually strong physical and also endowed with good football skills. Not infrequently Papuan players often dance on the green field, they consider football as a festival full of color and spirit.
Many dubbed the Papuan players with their Brazilian Indonesia, because of their expertise in playing the rounder.
Jayapura Black Diamond is one of the strongest teams in Papua. They escaped their group with a nile record of defeat! They managed to get away with Manokwari Eagle Magnus who managed to escape dramatically.
"So they're really great huh?" Rizaldi again interrupted and this made all eyes on him, Rizaldi could only be confused.
"You still wonder they're great? Let me tell you, they're great!" Zaki Iskandar explained to Rizaldi why they are considered one of the great teams in Indonesia.
Coach Satria also immediately played several matches and goals from the Jayapura Black Diamond team, whether it was the senior team or their Youth team. Afterwards, Rizaldi could only gape silently as he glared at the video showing how great they were.
"There's still a question Rizaldi?" coach Satria said while holding a vcd containing recordings of other matches.
Rizaldi quickly shook his head. "No Coach!"
"It's good then, so you already know how great this enemy we're going to face is?" all players immediately fell silent and bowed, they really understood the strength of the enemy who was not playing games anymore. When compared to the Buceros they had just fought, perhaps the level was a little higher.
However, none of them were frightened by the reality of the Jayapura Black Diamond team. They all continue to advance without fear of any enemies, because they are the defending champions and will defend their title for this season and the seasons to come. Strong teams are their medicine and victory is their ecstasy.
They all stood up and got ready to start training today, because they knew who they were going to be up against and now they were much more excited. They want to prove to everyone that they are not a team that only relies on luck, they will prove to everyone that they really mean to win for victory.
Coach Satria Hutama laughed at the expressions of the students, he did not expect them to be motivated in such a way. Coach Satria thinks when they get a strong team in the top 32 phase, they may be a little down and less excited. But the reality is inversely proportional, they even look ready to destroy anyone who blocks their steps to regain the trophy that was destined for them.
"All kids! We go to the field and train as usual, but don't forget the difficulty as well" Coach Satria Hutama said
Then answered in a loud voice by all of them. "Good Coach!" they immediately went to the field to start the training they will undergo today, with a very burning spirit that is visible from the corner of their eyes.
