Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 94: Preparation of the Self

The Cananga Youth Mining Team trained quite hard on the training ground near Benhil Stadium. They deliberately came there because the training facilities were quite complete and not too far from the hotel where they stayed. In addition, they had also rented the training ground several times, so they were already a little comfortable there.

In the semi-final match, they will meet Sugar Crossed FC, their city rivals. If Batavia Fort FC has a rival from Bandung, namely Sparta Bandung FC. Cananga Youth mining also has rivals even they are one city and only different districts only.

In the Mining district, there are several clubs but the biggest of course Cananga Mining ever won the I-League and even I-Youth. Meanwhile, Sugar Crossed FC is located in the Gardu River district, only a few blocks away from the Mining district, making their rivalry hotter.

Different fate with Cananga Mining. Sugar Crossed has never won the I-League, not even the I-League. They can even follow I-Youth when they have managed to rise and start collecting points to be able to enter the highest caste of youth football in Indonesia.

Sugar Crossed FC is really a team that just got into I-Youth, but they managed to show their quality if they cannot be underestimated. They can beat teams that are arguably bigger and stronger, last they can beat Bali Tera FC and ensure themselves to step into the semi-final phase.

Therefore, the children of Cananga Youth Mining practiced more vigorously than usual. During match practice they are too excited to consider the exercise as a life-and-death game, there are so many dangerous violations that Coach Satria Hutama repeatedly rebukes them not to overdo it.

"I know you're all very excited and can't wait to face them, but remember that you have to be excellent and no injuries, I don't want you guys to get injured in training like this" Coach Satria Hutama is obviously worried about that.

Injury problems are problems that every manager or coach of a football team wants to avoid, maybe even in other sports such as basketball or american football. The injury problem can be very confusing for coaches in dealing with it, not infrequently many coaches in the top European leagues often complain about this problem.

Imagine if your team is excelling in the title race, but all of a sudden you get a busy schedule that ends up leaving key players on your team injured and ends up putting your team in a player crisis. That is a nightmare that every football coach wants to avoid.

As with Coach Satria Hutama, he certainly does not want his foster children to be injured. Whether it's a key player or a player who sits on the bench, there is one injury that can make the harmony of a team can be chaotic immediately and will be a continuing domino effect if not immediately overcome the problem.

"Next time be careful in doing a tackle to your own partner, if Rizaldi does not jump maybe his legs could have serious problems. And Zaki, you should also play a little relaxed with your partner. You played like a pro wrestling player with the suplex just now"

"Good coach" said Galih and Zaki along with a bit of guilt.

"If you already understand, continue the practice!" Coach Satria Hutama blew his whistle, then they returned to training as before.

They returned to training mini game 11 vs 11 as before, Rizaldi Fatah was also excited in the exercise this time because there are factors that cause it like that. In addition to the Derby match, the figure that he considers rivals namely Yoga Hilmawan and Tori Marukawa was the fuel of Rizaldi to get excited about today's practice.

So excited Rizaldi today, he even appeared crazy in training this time. Although in his team there is no name Martin, Zaki or Axel who became a key player and even a star player in the Cananga Youth Mining. Rizaldi can still destroy them and can score 4 goals in training this time.

"You're so great, buddy!" said Derry approached Rizaldi who was sitting limp after too excited training, Derry also offered Rizaldi a cold drink that was immediately greeted by Rizaldi well.

"Thank you" said Rizaldi, then he immediately drank the cold drink, making his throat wet and cold and fresh again.

Rizaldi did not directly answer the question, he slightly felt the fresh breeze that afternoon. "Well! I can't wait for him even, for me it's a game I've been waiting for a long time" he replied, looking at his other colleagues who were resting as well as him.

Derry smiled at him, he sat down next to Rizaldi and drank his drink. After wetting his throat, Derry spoke again. "I wonder what they're doing right now"

Rizaldi looked confused, but after that he was not surprised anymore because he also thought the same thing with Derry. "It's possible that they train as hard as we are today" he said.

"Maybe" Derry was a little unsure of that.

On the other side of town, on a football field. There was a team doing training this afternoon. On the jacket they all wore, their club names were printed in large letters and in bright red. Sugar Crossed FC, such is the writing on their white jacket, making it a perfect fit paired with it.

They do mini-game exercises with 11 against 11. But it seems that one team dominates more than the other team. The dominating team is Yoga Hilmawan and Tori Marukawa, key players of Sugar Crossed FC.

The coach of Sugar Crossed FC did deliberately not separate the two of them in practice this time, he wanted Yoga Hilmawan and Tori Marukawa could be more fluid in doing cooperation. This will be very helpful if they can successfully do that, they can both be a deadly duo that will greatly complicate the defenders of the other teams, the other team, including the team they will face later is Cananga Youth Mining.

And it looks like what the Sugar Crossed FC coach is really hoping for is a success. Yoga and Marukawa can really do a slick cooperation in doing a goal-scoring plan, just like today.

Tori Marukawa who managed to master the midfield and bring the ball a little forward, he could see the figure of Yoga Hilmawan who was running towards the space that could make him score, he could see the figure of Yoga Hilmawan who was running towards the space that could make him score goals, Tori Marukawa immediately gave a passing to that point where Hilmawan Yoga had run there even without being given command by Tori Marukawa before.

The ball is still a little high, but Yoga Hilmawan immediately jumps to do perfect chest control, after that without doing a second touch, the, Yoga Hilmawan immediately kicked the ball very hard and managed to get into the goal, even the goalkeeper alone did not dare to brush off the ball that drove quickly.

Various reactions of his colleagues after witnessing how great and cool the goal created by Yoga Hilmawan earlier, although he was praised by his other colleagues but Yoga Hilmawan did not care about it and he just kept quiet while walking towards the locker room.

"Hey Yoga! That was great, man, but my bait was great too, wasn't it?" Tori Marukawa suddenly appears before Hilmawan Yoga and blocks his path.

Hilmawan Yoga was silent, but he stared at Tori Marukawa who was blocking his path with a gladiator-like gaze that wanted to kill the big lion that became his enemy on the day of his gladiator match. There was clearly no sign that he was happy or happy after scoring the goal, there was only the fire of hatred and anger that was seen from the corner of Yoga Hilmawan's eyes.

"Surge!" said Yoga then he hit Tori Marukawa who blocked his path until it made Tori Marukawa slightly shifted. "I'm not interested in playing friends with you" he said after that Yoga continued his steps towards the dressing room.

While Tori Marukawa could only smile, she shook her head while occasionally giggling to herself. "Who wants to be friends with you is Yoga?"
