Chapter 89: Another Match

The quarter-final opening match between Cananga Youth Mining against Surabaya Force Warlord FC was won by Cananga Youth Mining with a thin score of 3-2. Their victory was also dramatic, because Surabaya Force Warlord FC had a 2-0 lead in the first half, before finally in the second half Cananga Youth Mining managed to catch up with them by scoring 3 goals.

those 3 goals were scored by Martin and Rizaldi Fatah respectively who scored a brace today and one assist.

Rizaldi Fatah's slick performance today saw him again crowned the best player in today's match, this is the second time Rizaldi became man of the match when he did not want to anymore because of the trauma of a chaotic interview event in the match against Jaksel Yankees when in the last 16.

But this interview, Rizaldi managed to overcome it easily. Even Rizaldi had spoken several times in Italian because he was so confident, he really became a different person during the end of the game today.

There was a reason why Rizaldi experienced such a kind of personality change. Not changing personalities, but Rizaldi transformed as if to be someone he knew and knew.

That is because Rizaldi Fatah who uses Grade B+ Soccer Cards that he got when he successfully completed the mission he received in the middle of the game.

At the end of the second half, precisely after Rizaldi's free-kick goal, more precisely when the mission received by Rizaldi at that time was completed. Rizaldi directly used that B+ grade football card. When opening the card, Rizaldi got a card Alesandro Del Piero 2007-2008 season.

Is that special? You could say Rizaldi got the most interesting gacha at that time. The problem is, Del Piero was 33 years old at the time but despite the age of twilight, Del Piero managed to become the top scorer of the Italian League by packing 21 goals. Different one goal with his teammate Davit Trezeguet who packed 20 goals.

Even though it was in the age of twilight, when Rizaldi got the card still his status and the ability of the ball was like Del Piero at that time, although the usage period was quite short, even though the time was short, only 10 minutes but it was more than enough for Rizaldi Fatah.

With that he also managed to make a goal that ensured the Cananga Youth Mining qualified for the semi-finals.

The effect of the football card was still lingering after the game until Rizaldi was interviewed by media reporters, even he was very confident that made him far different from his first interview at that time.

"Hoo hoo hoo buddy, you're so confident today!" Derry was surprised by Rizaldi's change. "And that Italian, since when did you learn it?"

"I don't know that either, I just feel excited" Rizaldi's answer made Derry even more strange but he just laughed at the behavior of his friend who was like a hot worm at this time.
