Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 75: The Hard Win

The Cananga Youth Mining players celebrated their victory joyfully in the dressing room. Their victory was dramatic, as they managed to win a comeback from 2-0 down in the first half, but they managed to excel in the second half and changed the score to 2-3.

The winning goal was scored by Martin from a penalty execution that was so cold, until it had to make Jayapura goalkeeper Black Diamond and other players finally have to hang their dreams of winning I-Youth this season.

But none of that would have happened without the master strategist Rizaldi Fatah. The diving strategy created by him goes according to what he wants, but the supporting role such as the convincing expressions of his other colleagues makes the plan go according to his will.

But it would also not have happened without the goal that roused everyone, Rizaldi's wonderful goal from a free-kick left all possibilities wide open after being closed so tightly.

With this can be ascertained, Cananga Youth FC will qualify for the next phase, which is the last 16. Who they will face in the last 16 is still a mystery, they have to wait for the game that happens tomorrow.

Yes the match is still there for tomorrow, Coach Satria has told them all to watch one of the matches that occur tomorrow. It was a match between Sugar Crossed FC against Medan United.

But for now they need to forget that, all they need is to celebrate this victory and collect all these moments. The first one out of the locker room was Rizaldi, who tried to call her sister Keisha, hoping that she would watch tv and see her brother's great action on tv.

But unfortunately it turns out that Keisha is not active, Rizaldi then thinks that maybe Keisha is still at school when he remembers that today is Monday, and then he thinks that Keisha is still at school, if he's not here Rizaldi should be at school and studying for his future.

Rizaldi was about to call Salma too if he didn't remember what day it was, so he just gave a short message to Salma informing him of his victory today. Then Rizaldi returned to the dressing room to celebrate the victory he got today.

If the Cananga Youth Mining players are rejoicing, another story in Jayapura Black Diamond stronghold. The Jayapura Black Diamond players are grieving and grieving after accepting their defeat in today's match. With this result, they were sure to return home earlier than they had anticipated.

Beni Bonsapia is a man who is devastated by the defeat this time, he has fought with all his strength but still he has to fail. Coach Tiago Anderson also tried to calm his foster children, he gave a little constructive speech for all of them.

"You lost today" said Coach Tiago Anderson. "But believe me, the light of tomorrow will be brighter than today. You are the generations of aspiring star players who will shine in the future. These are you who will fill the new faces of footballers in this country, lift up your face and remember how you feel today and use it as fuel to make you shine even more than today"

It is true what Coach Tiago Anderson said. These young Jayapura Black Diamond players are the main pillars of Indonesian football in the future, who knows in 5-10 years they will be players who can lift Indonesian football even more worldwide. Not only Jayapura Black Diamond players, but for all the talented young players competing in this competition.

Coach Tiago Anderson's speech left Jayapura Black Diamond players once again hopeful, although still in a state of sadness, they all tried harder and began to sweep the tears that flowed profusely on their cheeks.

"So what do you think of today's match, Mr. Igarashi Maeda?" a middle-aged man complete with a suit that looked quite luxurious, was talking to a typical mandarin-faced male figure with long hair unraveling like a metal band vocalist.

"Yes in my opinion, today's match really attracted Mr. Albert Rachmadis. I-YOUTH can really be an important container for the development of young seedlings like them"

He managed to revolutionize Japanese football which is already a little advanced, but because of the cold hand touch of football in Japan is growing even better. Moreover, the young Japanese players are currently very abundant, even arguably Japan is starting to enter their golden era. The best achievement of the Japanese national team at this time is to get into the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup edition.

Before successfully bringing Japan U-17 national team to be runner-up U-17 World Cup, Igarashi Maeda was previously famous for successfully bringing change in one of the J1 League clubs which is the main league in Japan there. Igarashi Maeda managed to bring the team he handled, Gamba Osaka became champions in a row for 4 seasons, and managed to bring Gamba Osaka to be champion of the Asian champions league or AFC Champions League 2 times.

Before starting his coaching career, Igarashi Maeda was also a reliable footballer. He played for many teams in the J1 League, including the club he currently coaches Gamba Osaka. Igarashi Maeda became one of the top scorers in the club's history by scoring 108 goals in his career at Gamba Osaka.

Unfortunately his football career was quite short, Igarashi Maeda had to retire early due to severe injuries suffered.

His arrival to Indonesia and seeing Indonesian young people play football in I-Youth is not without cause and without reason. The real reason Igarashi Maeda came here is because he was contracted by the Indonesian Football Federation or FSI to coach the Indonesian National Team for a young age from U-17 to U-23.

But this is still kept secret by anyone, even for the media even though no one knows about this. There are only a few people who know this and who know this is a confidant of Mr. Albert Rachmadi who is the chairman of FSI.

So that's why they both come to the Kebayoran Baru Stadium under the disguise of not being known by the media crew who are always looking for hot news wherever they are.

"So did you already have some names from today's match?"

"That's a difficult question Mr. Albert" Igarashi Maeda smiled before answering a question from Albert Rachmadi. "But it looks like I have some names that I will monitor further" he said.

Albert Rachmadi chuckled softly. "So may I know who you mean Mr. Igarashi?"

Igarashi Maeda shook his head quickly. "No!" the answer. "Without diminishing my respect for you, but I will not tell the players I will choose ahead of time. If I'm sure of my choice, I'll tell you"

Albert Rachmadi smiled but was a little disappointed at not getting the name he wanted to hear, but he didn't think too much about it because he also understood that there were still a lot of considerations that Igarashi Maeda had to think about before solidifying his options.

"Alright then I'll wait for a report from you. So now are we so off to see the next game, Mr. Igarashi Maeda?"

Igarashi Maeda smilingly replied. "Yes, of course!"

Then they both went outside the stadium to immediately go to another stadium, see another match that will take place soon
