Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 99: First - Half

The International Jakarta Stadium that day was quite crowded, although crowded but could not beat the crowds Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium during the Batavia Fort FC match against Sparta Bandung FC a few days ago.

The stadium, which has a capacity of 82,000 spectators, is only filled with 10,000 spectators and still leaves many empty seats. But even so, the enthusiasm of the two supporters of the team who will compete remains high to support their favorite team in action.

As a team labeled the defending champions, not to mention with their already famous bigger senior team. The development of Cananga Youth has a greater advantage than Sugar Crossed FC, because many supporters who support them directly in the stadium, whether it is from Jakarta City or from Banjarmasin directly flew here to watch this match.

Sugar Crossed FC only has a few spectators because they are an impromptu team that soars into space, either way today their fuel will run out and they will drop back down once again.

But their hard work has all paid off to this semi-final. They started the league with the status of a non-seeded team, but they proved that they could qualify from the group and even become group winners. While the Cananga Youth Mining Group with Sugar Crossed FC even had difficulty to get a ticket to qualify for the top 32, they had stumbled in the middle of the game before they finally began to get their rhythm again. And the person who became the figure of their gravitational axis was a player who just entered when in the middle of the game, Rizaldi Fatah.

The inclusion of Rizaldi Fatah to the Youth-A squad playing in I-Youth really brought real change. Rizaldi Fatah is like the last puzzle piece sought by Coach Satria Hutama to complete his work in Cananga Youth Mining. The entry of Rizaldi not only changes the team structure, he also has an impact on the condition of the dressing room, tactical things and also the harmony of each player.

But actually, Rizaldi Fatah is not burdened by it. Every day, every training and every game he played, he never once thought about the burden. He always carries that burden on his back, but he always fights all that burden to make it as fuel for himself to continue to play better and better every day.

And now Rizaldi Fatah is meditating in the locker room. The slightly rowdy condition of the dressing room did not bother him at all to calm his mind. In addition to calming his mind, Rizaldi meditated to trick all his teammates into opening the system he had.

He checked the items he had in the system's inventory bag. There are 2 packs of C grade football cards, there are 2 bottles of Energy Booster drinks that can restore all their energy instantly, then there is a status card to add his status as much as 3 points.

Rizaldi opened the status card, he added it to Shooting, Passing and Dribbling.

"Hmmm my status has improved a little again" Rizaldi said after seeing his status.

Then Rizaldi opened the next panel, the Quest panel. There was a mission he received today, a mission related to the match he would be in for a while.

"Are you again? Why is every sentence so severe?" rizaldi said, slightly disappointed. "But what I can do, I will try to complete the mission well"

Then after that, Coach Satria Hutama also entered the dressing room which made the atmosphere immediately turned suddenly quiet with no sound at all. Rizaldi also ended his meditation event, now his eyes are on the figure of Coach Satria Hutama who stands before the players of Cananga Youth Mining today.

Coach Satria Hutama will give them a few words before they all start to enter the field of play, this is a way for a coach to arouse the spirit of his players before the game starts.

"We're going to face a tough opponent this time, an opponent we know very well and we have a lot of history with them. I'm sure none of you want to lose to them, right? If you don't prove to me that you're the best here! In this place! Destroy them all and get them back to the River Gardu where they belong!" Coach Satria Hutama's speech succeeded in cultivating a deep spirit in Cananga Youth Mining players.

"Mining of Cananga Youth! Let's goooo!"

"Goooo!" they said at the same time then they began to enter the match field and prepare for the match today.

They all went to the hallway and waited for instructions from the official match to enter the field. The Sugar Crossed FC team had also started arriving in the hallway, their captain leading them in front, just as Martin was standing in front of them.

Incidentally, Rizaldi stood next to Hilmawan Yoga. Behind Hilmawan Yoga is Tori Marukawa who looks at Rizaldi as if he wants to devour him alive. After getting the instructions, they finally started to enter the match field.

The cheers of the audience greeted them all, after marching they shook hands as a sign of fair-play. However, Yoga Hilmawan does not have the intention to do a greeting to the players of Cananga Youth Mining which makes them immediately put on an angry face. Even Yoga Hilmawan commented that it would defeat them all and make them go home in a state of tears, which increasingly made the players of Cananga Youth Mining riled up.

Kick-off starts from Sugar Crossed FC. Sugar Crossed FC players immediately began to set-up attacks to the Cananga Youth Mining team defense. In these early minutes, the defense line of Cananga Youth Mining team was still too difficult to penetrate. Sugar Crossed FC players are forced to play only around the middle of the field to their defense. High pressing carried out by Cananga Youth Mining slightly makes Sugar Crossed FC players difficult in making a forward pass.

"Oper to Marukawa!" the order of their captain and Sugar Crossed FC players immediately pass the ball to Marukawa.

When Marukawa received the ball, there were 3 Cananga Youth Mining players at once who gave pressure on him. Instead of being nervous, Marukawa laughed and smiled, waiting for this.

Unexpectedly, 3 players who press to Marukawa managed to pass him by. The audience was amazed by Marukawa's ability to play football, and Marukawa immediately took advantage of the space left by the three players.

Rizaldi Fatah did not let Marukawa get away with it, he ran towards Marukawa and intended to confront him. But Marukawa managed to pass it with his ball skills, even he also managed to pass Zaki Iskandar who had prepared behind Rizaldi if Rizaldi failed to stop the movement of Marukawa.

Marukawa continued forward dribbling, he combed into the flank area of the Cananga Youth Mining team defense that had been abandoned by his full-backs, he said, once glanced he could already see Yoga Hilmawan who was in a good position and just straight away Marukawa gave a crossing to the penalty box.

Yoga Hilmawan jumps high pick up the ball with his header, but Derry had guessed it and jumped first and managed to catch the Marukawa crossing ball before it was successfully headed by Yoga Hilmawan.

Derry just kicked the ball forward to secure his goal, he looked at the figure of Yoga Hilmawan who still stood in his territory and felt a little surprised by the figure.

Then Yoga started to come back down, looking for space that he could use to make chances or score goals. And it worked in the 12th minute. Starting from a small mistake Fauzi wrongly gave a pass, Sugar Crossed FC players immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Unwittingly by the Cananga Youth Mining player, Marukawa moved very freely and regained the ball at his feet. Marukawa immediately gave a breakthrough bait in the future when he saw Yoga Hilmawan who had run towards a space that according to his instincts could be used very well.

Yoga Hilmawan is a striker with a complete package, not only has the instinct to find space, he also has incredible speed as an attacker. Galih and Bagas who became the center figure of Cananga Youth Mining defender could not pursue him. Then in desperation, Bagas tried to chase after Yoga and slightly pulled his shirt so as to make Hilmawan Yoga fall right at the end of the penalty box.

The referee pointed to the white spot, the Cananga Youth Mining players immediately protested because Yoga Hilmawan fell so thin between the penalty box and no, no, but after seeing the replay the referee still gave a penalty to Sugar Crossed FC.

Who will take the penalty kick of course Yoga Hilmawan. Derry prepared to face Yoga, his face neither fear nor panic at all. But after that Derry felt a terrible aura burst out of Hilmawan's Yoga body and gave him a slight creep.

When the referee blew the whistle, Yoga Hilmawan directly kicked the ball very hard into the top right corner of the goal Derry. Derry couldn't react, he didn't even see the ball moving into his net. His feet were still shaking violently, he did not know what happened to him but he realized that the kick was not a kick that can be done by High School children.

Rizaldi Fatah was surprised to see the hard and super fast kick, the ball like moving at the speed of light in Rizaldi's eyes. He felt it was natural that Derry could not do anything, because Rizaldi alone could not see the movement of the ball kicked by Hilmawan Yoga.

With the penalty goal earlier, Sugar Crossed FC was 1-0 ahead of Cananga Youth Mining in the 12th minute. There is still plenty of time to reply to the quick goal, and the Cananga Youth Mining players are still not discouraged because of the goal.
