Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 97: The Unfulfilled Feelings

Rizaldi and his other friends were watching the first semi-final match, which Batavia Fort FC met with Sparta Bandung FC. The result Batavia Fort FC managed to beat Sparta Bandung FC with a thin score of 1-0, but what makes the match feel quite special is how tense Rizaldi and his friends follow every plot that occurs in the match.

Although only created one goal in the match, but the tension on the field can also be felt by Rizaldi who watched from television broadcasts.

Raffi Putra's goal in the final minutes of the second half really felt cruel and cold, Rizaldi could feel the pain of Sparta Bandung FC players who played very well today but Batavia Fort FC played better than them today.

The other Cananga Youth Mining players began to discuss two mainstay players Batavia Fort FC who became the most influential players in recent matches, including today's match.

"Raffi Putra and Wildan Hutami. They're really a problem if we let them be creative"

"Especially Raffi Putra, he had an incredible instinct. He knows when to overlap and when to stay in his position"

"I think the better Wildan Hutami, he's a player who can play in any position and that's not a fool"

Rizaldi only listened to his colleagues who were arguing about the most influential player in the game today, he did not participate in the chat when usually he immediately entered the chat if anyone discussed the game of football. Whether it's tactical things, the skill of the player or the history of the club, Rizaldi will follow immediately. But now he was just silent, so this slightly disturbed Derry who had noticed the expression on the face of his friend who looked like children who were refraining from peeing on pants.

"Hey buddy, are you okay?" Derry asked Rizaldi directly.

Rizaldi was a little surprised because he just realized from his daydream, he smiled at Derry like the smiles of officials when it was near their play date. "I'm fine really. I was just thinking a little about.." Rizaldi Fatah had no time to finish the sentence, Derry cut it off immediately.

"About tomorrow's game, right?" said Derry like to know what is raging inside the brilliant head of Rizaldi.

Rizaldi did not speak anymore, he was silent a thousand words. Derry guessed exactly one hundred percent, he patted his best friend's shoulder afterwards, then said. "Don't worry buddy, we'll fight with all our might for tomorrow because we'll be the winner, just look. This is not a prediction, but a spoiler!"

Derry's confident face made Rizaldi Fatah want to laugh to hear it. No, Rizaldi had even laughed which made Derry upset with the figure of his best friend.

"No-no, I'm sorry, Derry, but the way you say it's a little funny I think"

"Hey buddy that's not funny, you know I'm not a person who likes to motivate yourself even others. I feel sick if you even laugh at that buddy"

After that they both laughed out loud at the same time, making the other players so astonished by what possessed them both.

Rizaldi stood up, and he walked towards the outside of the room. Derry is confused, he asks where Rizaldi really is. "I just want to buy a drink outside for a while" Rizaldi's answer without looking back at all which makes Derry wonder.

Derry immediately followed Rizaldi, he asked again. "Can I come with you, buddy?"

Rizaldi was silent for a moment, then he turned to look next to her with a smile imprinted on his face. "I'll just be a minute, buddy, I just want to buy you a cold drink"

"O-okay" Derry is unsure of the face, but she tries to understand her best friend a little and finally allows her best friend to be alone for a while. "But I can drop no drinks?"

"Of course you can, why not" Rizaldi's smile was still visible on his face.

Derry then reached into his pants pocket, he searched for the whereabouts of his wallet which turned out to be in the back pocket of his pants. He took fifty thousand out of his wallet and gave it to Rizaldi. "I'm putting Coke-Zero on one, and you're just putting it on my bill"

Rizaldi was astonished, he did not understand Derry's intentions. Derry again said the same thing and in the end Rizaldi understood Derry's intention to buy him a drink. "Can I choose anything?" ask him again to Derry.

"Well, thank you so much buddy!" this time Rizaldi's smile looks a bit more natural, not like he showed Derry a few moments ago. Therefore Derry this time was a little calm looking at that expression.

"Come fast! Close the shop first"

Hearing that Rizaldi immediately rushed out, he slightly ran to chase the store that he thought was almost closed because of the suggestion from Derry earlier. Martin, who saw Rizaldi in a hurry, was confused and asked Derry about it, but Derry kept quiet and laughed a little. "Rather than thinking it's better we play cards!" take Derry to Martin.

Halfway through, Rizaldi realized what he was doing. Rizaldi instantly stopped running, he began to realize his own stupidity. The real reason Rizaldi went out was not to buy a cold drink like he told Derry, he just wanted to get a fresh breeze at night in Jakarta City.

Rizaldi Fatah walked straight on the sidewalk of the road, moonlight and the crowd of the city that night accompanied him. The skyscrapers seemed to boast to Rizaldi, especially with flickering lights that make the night in the city of Jakarta more colorful.

Rizaldi continued to walk through the night city of Jakarta, until he reached a grocery store. Rizaldi also bought a drink from Derry and he also took one for himself.

"How much did sir become?"

"Fourteen thousand naks"

Rizaldi gave fifty thousand of Derry's gifts to the father of the grocery store keeper, then the father gave his change to Rizaldi.

"Thank you sir!"

After that Rizaldi had no intention of returning to the hotel. Rizaldi first returned to the streets around the place, until finally he found a small field on the edge of the city. The field is like a basketball court in suburban New York and is the same size, but has a goalpost whose sign is a place to play football.

Rizaldi knew that it was a field where the general public, usually children often play football there. They call it street football that has no rules like football in general. There is no offside, no throw-in, no foul there is only handball and even then the set-up is themselves, there is no referee here.

Unfortunately Rizaldi did not come here in the afternoon when there were still many children playing football there, Rizaldi only found someone there who was wearing a dark black jacket was doing kicking exercises.

Rizaldi approached the figure, he was very curious about the figure that he felt similar to the figure he knew, Hilmawan Yoga. And sure enough, as he got closer to the figure, the figure immediately turned towards him because it felt someone approaching and Rizaldi saw the face of the figure who was none other than Hilmawan Yoga.

"You turned out" said Yoga Hilmawan after learning that the person who approached him was Rizaldi Fatah. Yoga did not intend to mince words with Rizaldi, so he continued to kick very hard.

Rizaldi continued to pay attention to the kicks done by Yoga Hilmawan, every kick he did will be stronger the longer he kicked. Rizaldi could only shake his head slowly looking at the monster figure before him at this moment.

But suddenly he said. "I'll beat you tomorrow"

Yoga Hilmawan heard that, he was immediately upset and kicked the ball once again very strongly. So strong, even the ball went straight back out when it went into the goal and the ball fell right at the foot of Rizaldi.

Yoga Hilmawan turned and he immediately grasped Rizaldi's jacket until Rizaldi was lifted just because of that, he looked directly into Rizaldi's eyes but Rizaldi was not afraid of it at all, in contrast to what he often experienced when he was often bullied by Yoga Hilmawan first.

"Don't be arrogant you're a loser! I'll prove to you that you're a loser! You're only lucky that during that messed up selection test, I'll prove to all of you that you guys made a mistake for rejecting me!" hilmawan said Yoga and he immediately let go of Rizaldi just like that.

After that Hilmawan Yoga left Rizaldi, he had lost interest in continuing his kicking practice and he wanted to go to his inn and rest.

While Rizaldi continues to stare at the back of Yoga Hilmawan even though he is already in the distance, a little redefining his determination to win tomorrow's match and to prove that he is not what Yoga Hilmawan thinks.
