Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 76: A New Perspective
Due to one room with Martin and Fauzi, Rizaldi now became a little closer to the two of them. Although Martin still retains the above feeling trait at times, Fauzi is more likely to open himself up to Rizaldi a little and befriend him.
From a few times chatting with the two of them, Rizaldi finally understood a little more about the two of them. For example, what kind of ball they like, or they like to be given passing like what. Of course, this is a very important thing for football players to know the characteristics of their team-mates, because the core of football is a game that relies on all teamwork, he said, especially for modern football like it is today.
Although Rizaldi Fatah has a system that is only owned by him, but still Rizaldi needs to know the characteristics of his teammates to develop further his game.
According to what he heard from Martin and Fauzi. Martin prefers to be given a lob pass when he runs behind an opponent defender, then he will chase the pass with all his strength and kick the ball that is still slightly above the air by doing a first-time kick. Martin loved the thrill of doing that.
Then Fauzi prefers to link with other players, so he will try to form a triangle with anyone who is nearby. Fauzi preferred to dominate the ball rather than directly give a direct kick towards the goal.
The two forwards are completely different ways of playing, but they can both still be a threat to the other team's defense. They combine two different things from themselves, to become a force that gives fear to the defender and goalkeeper of the opposing team.
Rizaldi became more open about football, he was like getting a new science and he could not stop his spirit after getting that knowledge. He then asked Zaki Iskandar about what style of play he really likes.
"If I prefer to play in my traditional position, that is the central midfielder. But I also like my role as an anchor player in yesterday's game" said Zaki Iskandar.
Rizaldi knew the characteristics of his friends, he wanted to know more about his other colleagues. If there was a chance, then he would ask them. Seeing Rizaldi's enthusiasm, Derry smiled slightly. Derry was delighted to see the more excited Rizaldi, the last time he saw that expression from his friend the first time they met. It's been a while after that.
Derry got up and invited Rizaldi to get ready soon, because they will be training in the morning.
Exercise this morning is not much like before, Coach Satria just told them to exercise in the gym to improve the stamina and fitness of the foster children.
This is done by Coach Satria to anticipate if they return to a difficult win like in their first match against Jayapura Black Diamond, to anticipate also if they have to play until the extra round. In addition to physical training and fitness, Coach Satria also did a little practice doing a penalty shootout scheme to the foster children.
"Remember the key to the success of the penalty is not how hard you kick the ball into the opponent's goal. Penalties are a psychological game, who is calm then he is the winner in a penalty shootout" Coach Satria explained to his foster children about the penalty shootout.
"Derry and Martin come here!" Coach Satria told Derry and Martin to demonstrate the penalty first.
Coach Satria again warned them all. "Remember! The key to success in a penalty shootout is calmness. You guys can see how calm Martin is?" the eyes of all the players were fixed on Martin who still looked calm and ordinary, making them sure that Martin was really calm and could do what he did yesterday.
"Is it quiet enough to conquer the opponent in front of him?" coach Satria said then he blew a whistle that gave Martin the signal to immediately make a shot.
Martin is still weighing which direction he will go, he also chose the bottom right corner point, a point that is difficult to reach by the goalkeeper. But because of his nervousness, the ball kicked by Martin did not even roll as he expected, the ball even slightly up and so it makes Derry can catch it quite easily.
Martin shouted because the results were not as he expected, while Derry just smiled to see what Martin did.
"Martin's race has not been calm enough to beat Derry" Coach Satria commented.
After that Coach Satria also told the others to take penalty kicks in turn. Many failed to take a penalty kick this time, not because they were nervous or afraid and not calm, actually they were quite calm but only that blocked their kick was Derry who was so
resplendent.
Of the 6 kicks that have been done, in total Derry managed to pull out 4. 1 managed to enter and 1 more even flew into space. Then Rizaldi's turn came.
Derry tries to disrupt Rizaldi's concentration. "Buddy do you know what makes a dumbass unhappy?"
Derry's dark sense of humor was completely incomprehensible to Rizaldi, he was confused and finally gave up. "I don't know and don't understand your sense of humor, buddy" Rizaldi said.
Then with a laugh that could not be held back finally Derry replied. "Applause. There will be a song, if you're happy to applaud prok" Derry immediately laughed out loud after throwing his dark jokes.
All the Cananga Youth Mining players immediately laughed at the joke, not even the staff and Coach Satria could help their laughter. Derry's dark jokes really broke, and Rizaldi ended up laughing even though he was still wondering about Derry's slightly distorted sense of humor.
So, because still in a state of laughter Rizaldi also kicked the penalty. But unfortunately the ball even rolled slowly and Rizaldi even slipped because kicking in a state of still laughing due to the jokes Derry earlier, as a result of Rizaldi's actions even become a laughing stock again for other players.
