Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 69: Their Autumn Phase

The scorching afternoon sun welcomed the spectators and the players who will be competing today, to begin their top 32.

Although quite hot, but the enthusiasm of the audience can not be defeated by the heat. They still flock to the Kebayoran Baru Stadium to watch the match today, between Cananga Youth Mining against Jayapura Black Diamond FC.

Kebayoran Baru Stadium, which can accommodate more than 300 thousand spectators, was filled with 5000 spectators who wanted to watch young players prospective stars in the future. 5000 spectators is not a small number to watch a young team match, but also not a large number for a stadium with such a large capacity as Kebayoran Baru.

"Good afternoon in the afternoon the spectators who are impatient to see our young people who will compete today" say comments that are greeting the audience who are in the stadium or who are watching at home.

The big 32 matches of I-YOUTH were broadcast by one of the private television stations, their goal was obviously to introduce the prospective Indonesian national team players one day to all Indonesian citizens. The Indonesian antusiame is high enough to watch these young players, every time they broadcast a top 32 match, they get a pretty good rating and are very accepted in the community. Moreover, Indonesians are known as one of the biggest football fans in the world.

Maybe Keisha, Salma or Melani are watching this game on television, or maybe not.

"We can see here Bung Jali, how the enthusiasm of the audience who want to see these brothers today"

"Yes you are absolutely right, Mirhan. Although it is still a little hot like this, but it looks like the audience is still excited to see their favorite team that will compete today"

After commentators greeted the spectators who came to the Kebayoran Baru Stadium, all the spectators immediately shouted and sounded the sounds that could make the atmosphere during the day quite excited like they were about to go to the battlefield.

While waiting for the two teams to enter the field, the two commentators Bung Mirhan and Bung Jali began to discuss the strategy of the two teams who will compete in a moment.

First they discussed the team that will compete as the host in this match, Jayapura Black Diamond.

"Coach Tiago Anderson from Brazil is famous for combining the style of Brazilian football with Spain. He always uses 4-3-3. Their style of play was inspired by the tiki-taka game that Barcelona often used in their golden era with Pep Guardiola, but they also apply the style of bonito jogo game that is often in the game of Brazilian league clubs or their national team" Bung Mirhan explained the strategy of Jayapura Black Diamond to the audience at the stadium or who was watching at home.

Bung Jali added. "I really like Jayapura Black Diamond Bung Mirhan, I feel like watching Brazilian players dance on the green grass. And my hero is of course Ferdinand Pahabol! He's got acceleration, he's got hard shooting, he's got agility. He's one of those strikers who has perfection!"

"You're right Jali man. 10 goals for Jayapura Black Diamond, the future of this youngster is quite bright. But you do not forget also the figure of Emanuel Bonai, he is one of the keys to the attack from the Jayapura Black Diamond team"

"If you choose Emanuel Bonai, I prefer the general of the middle field of this team, Beni Bonsapia. I think because of the vision to play, this team has a direction and to be one of the teams that will surprise the other teams"

"This is the third season of Coach Satria Hutama. After undergoing an impressive season last season, now Cananga Youth Mining is even struggling desperately to get to this stage" Bung Mirhan opened the topic of both of them.

Then Jali added. "You're absolutely right, Mirhan, I think the defending champions were injured quite badly after their retainers were promoted to the first team. Seen once their regeneration is pretty bad at the youth team level"

Bung Mirhan slightly disagreed with Bung Jali. "It seems not a matter of regeneration that they experienced, but there seems to be another problem that resulted in their performance dropped dramatically. They have Martin who has the ability to excel, there are also several new names such as Axel Raihan, Zaki Iskandar and Derry who became their last doorstop and many times saved this team"

"You forgot to mention the name of one of Mirhan's youngest players" said bung Jali who made Mirhan's man a little confused.

Bung Mirhan looked at the pile of paper before him, he looked for the player data that was meant by the Jali dude earlier. After a while looking for it, Bung Mirhan also found the data of the player in question.

"Rizaldi Fatah!" bung Mirhan started reading the data. "You are absolutely right, Jali, because the arrival of this player feels like the Cananga Youth Mining game is becoming a little more stable than before. But will his luck continue in this knockout phase, how do you think Jali fell?"

Bung Jali answered him while taking a deep breath. "I'm a person who does not like to bet bung Mirhan, but I think this player might be difficult in today's game, let alone he will duel with Beni Bonsapia who is the same position as Rizaldi Fatah"

"Well then we finish our analysis for today, let's go back to the stadium because soon the players will enter the field" said Mirhan, close the strategy analysis session and the players of both teams who will compete.

Not long after, the players from both teams had already started to be seen entering the match field. They lined up neatly while facing the audience, then came the sweet voice of the MC or the host who told them all and the audience to stand up and sing the song Indonesia Raya.

Rizaldi played as the starting of the day, as soon as Indonesia Raya saw himself singing with all his strength and solemnly while looking at the flag of Merah Putih listed on the big lcd screen.

After finishing singing Indonesia Raya song, the two teams then take pictures before starting the match. Then they do a coin toss to determine which kick-off team to start with.

Jayapura Black Diamond team appointed the captain, Emanuel Bonai, while the Cananga Youth Mining team appointed their captain Martin.

Toss performed, who will do kick-off first is Jayapura Black Diamond team who wear red and black jersey like the jersey used Ac Milan team from Italy. While the Cananga Youth Mining uses their away jersey that is yellow like a keepsake flower with a touch of horizontal lines on the arm that is gold accent.

The referee set up a communication device and a watch, then checked both teams before blowing the whistle for the first half kick-off.
