The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
31. Mistakes in the Team
*tatttt*
There is always a typical conversation when on the way home wherever and whenever there is a chance then there is always us who horrendous, that's my opinion.
"Oh yes, how was the practice yesterday" asked Yuri always had a high curiosity.
"It's bad, but something's not cool" I said
"why indeed? yuri asked again, her body getting closer to me.
"I'm locked in the barn"
"God is locked in the warehouse anyway" Ari and Yuri were surprised to hear my brief explanation. But I chose to be quiet and ignore it because it had passed.
"Please tell me again Key, nanggung tau" whined yuri because his heart was thrashing with curiosity. I still choose to be silent and not continue anything.
Moreover, it must be a story about Dika's sister, when I know that Yuri loves Dika's sister so I choose to keep quiet because I don't want any misunderstanding between me and her. I don't want to lose a friend just because of a man.
"Well, let's go home, what do you want to stay here"
"yes yes, this is us going home" the three of us rushed to go home.as usual they were waiting for an invitation each including me. but my invitation is angkot not a car. luxurious like them, hehehe.
Day after day passed, my relationship with Dika's sister was not good either. I prefer to avoid seeing him. I no longer pay attention to him, when he approached I chose to stay away at once to keep the feeling of Yuri who likes Dika's sister. Yuri once told me that she liked Dika's sister at the time of MOS. So I better go.
Yuri and Ari also actively follow the extracurriculars they wrestle with. Not infrequently Ari always follow the Olympic race against some students from other schools. I admit Ari was great for defeating several schools in this city, and now he is in preparation for a provincial-level race.
Training after training I live, although already 4 times training I was still used as a goal child.who took the ball, put the ball into the warehouse, took their drinks and others. But I walk with sincerity.
When they've rushed over, I'll practice on my own in the field. Even without stopping I always practice in the yard of the house, he said the more the knife sharpened then the sharper as well. That's how I hone the skill then it will be sharper as well.
"While I still haven't been given the chance to train with them, at least I have the chance to practice with the ball" I muttered to myself with the witness of a ball and some weeds.
"Look at Vid, I'm practicing with the skill you taught me"
All the skills I've honed are the teachings David has given. I never forget what David gave me. So miss the feeling with the existence of David that I never knew the situation until now.
"Hurry home, I miss" that's all I can say to wishful thinking, and then get carried away by the air and disappear.
I don't play at the tarkam anymore because it's still a holiday. So there's nowhere to hone my skills in the game. But I heard the good news from coach Alam which is going to be held the race for the women's High School football trophy. We're going to do a match against teams from women's football who are in another High School.
My spirit is getting smoldering in training, although honestly I really want to be trained by a Nature coach. Until some time passed and finally coach Alam allowed me to follow the training well.
"Try to watch your run, don't be too hasty" he shouted very loudly to correct the error in those who have not done the movement well.
Coach Alam trains well, but he never gives a definite attention or direction about the ball like any other player. Only a few players that he noticed.even I always studied independently, even so my ears would still listen to any direction he gave.
If I always learn from day to day with sincerity then I will get satisfactory results. Whatever their treatment to me I will always accept with a free chest. Let alone treating the cruel Ana to me. During practice, she deliberately kicked the ball right into my head.
\*bluk\* stealth attack and directional kick.
"You're brash" he's always angry and wants to strike back but can't because I'm good at dodging.
I won't be silent about what she did, I always do the same thing with what Ana did to me.
I didn't even hesitate to kick the ball right into Ana's head. They all blamed me, he said I always played rough at practice. But I was actually the victim of an Ana. I've always been Ana's moons, so I always fought her.
While the coach of Nature when he always saw Ana's actions that are not commendable, he just remained silent without muttering a single word. When I looked into his eyes to be honest then the Nature coach just ignored and went away. So I can just be patient for training and keep training.
Until finally coach Alam announced some players who will play in the Cup.
Thank God I was on his team, but I was on the bench. It doesn't matter because what I want is to play on the pitch in the coach's shade, not just be a paid player.
Every day I practice harder, at school, in the barn, even at home. Every morning and evening I practiced in the courtyard while remembering the tricks and skills given by David. Whatever the reason is important I have to show my best.
Seeing some friends fully trained by the Nature coach, there was a hint of envy in me. Moreover, the attention of the Nature coach is on the core players only. Looks like the reserve player is only for the complement. Someday I will show that I deserve to get into this first team of football. The spirit in me continues to be embedded and will never disappear until anytime.
Until the time came we went to the match field by school bus. I have prepared 2 pairs of soccer shoes. One is mine and the other is David's.
The shoes that David gave me fit on my feet, probably because I'm a big boy. So I no longer need to stuff it with socks. So I can use it as a spare shoe if there is damage that occurs when playing on the field.
"May you bring good luck" I said to the septi I was carrying.
Arriving in the field of my eyes looked in admiration because we were greeted by a crowded audience. Moreover, the audience from our school is very much. This match is done in the afternoon so it can make it easier for anyone who will watch the game. Uforia and a very beautiful shout from each of the supporters there.
Our team went into the dressing room and there the coach gave us some direction before the game. Some are busy warming up some are busy doing small movements, some are busy putting on shoes and others.
"Remember, this is the first game for us so you have to concentrate and do your job well"
"Each coach"
High School has never won first place in the past, even getting into the semi-finals is very difficult, so whatever happens everything must be eager to make new history.
"You're ready" shouted coach Alam
"Every coach" shouts of spirit boomed in the dressing room.we prepared to go out onto the pitch.
"Consideration for all spectators, soon we will welcome both teams. SMA D team against SMA A. This is the first match of each team. Give your support for your team to win" MC's voice echoed and each team was out on the field.
Again Indonesia Raya reverberated before the game started. I also participated bernyayi on the bench.very beautiful atmosphere, did not feel my tears dripping.
*pritttt* the first whistle has been sounded. The ball has been played from one foot to the other. Our team uses a 4-3-3 formation.
A very interesting and exciting match. I watched from the bench. There the two teams attacked each other and continued to attack. In the 20th minute our team lost focus until the ball continued to be captured by the opponent even more ball possession on the opposing team.
The skill and tactics that the opposing team plays are beautiful. I was also amazed to see it. trial after experiment from both teams was done but still did not get the perfect results.
Until the 40th minute the score is still 0-0. Both teams are still very strong. Until the attempted attack from the opposing team in the 43rd minute get results to make a goal and a temporary advantage for the opposing team. The provisional score becomes 1-0, the victory sided with the opposing team until the final whistle of the round one match sounded.
We have to admit the victory of the opposing team in the round of 1. The faces of the players are very grim because of the defeat. There was not even a trace when he entered the room.
"Remember, our team has to win in the first game. We must not lose, for the guard in the back line you must focus and do not miss. If there are opposing players who try to attack and get close to the white point then do your best.prevent them or just throw the ball if you do not want to take risks. But if you still lose the ball then do anything until the opponent falls. Be it pulling a shirt or even doing a hard tackle to get the ball. Don't be too sporty, as many games are tougher than this. Do you understand"
" Good understand coach" all answered compactly and neatly while I could only be silent to hear the direction of coach Alam.
I do agree with the initial statement he said. We have to fight all out when competing to get the victory. But what I don't agree with is playing hard with the opponent. Can do tackles as long as the sweep of the ball is clean, not exposed to opponents and not hurt.
Because in a competitive ball game only 90 minutes and the rest are brothers.we can also do tackles as long as they do not harm the opponent and make him injured. ball games are unity do not get split by doing dirty things, or even injure opponents to ruin his career.
The 15-minute break was over. The game is still controlled by the core players and nothing is replaced by the coach.we just follow the flow of the ball that the coach plays. The second-half whistle has been sounded. Our team just play defensively no one dares to come out of the dominion. Though if I look, there are still many empty opportunities left by opposing players. Actually there is still a gap to slightly stab at the opposing team if they want to play attacking, but their choice is to defend only.
The match went well until in the 60th minute our team conceded again. The guard at the back is getting weaker especially conceded this time because of the blunder made by Ana. This makes the opposing player easier to dribble to the white point to score a goal. The player's face was getting moody looking at all this, it seemed mentally more saggy because it was 2-0 down.
"Focus, focus, Ana focus not to lose the ball" shouted coach Alam yng increasingly furious to see the game of our team. Moreover, plus the goal that made us miss in this second half.
"Please don't let go" the scream reverberated. While the roar of the audience is as crowded. There are people who give team spirit and there are people who blaspheme the team or something.
Repeatedly in the 65th minute Ana made a mistake. Inaccurate passing makes the opponent easily take the ball to master it. Dribble closer to the white spot and eventually create a 3rd goal for them. The cheers of the audience grew more and more crowded. While the supporters of our team have been silenced to see the score that is far behind. Very disappointed faces they look.
"Ana's spirit, you can definitely let's focus Ana" I shouted trying to provide support for Ana so that her mentality does not fall.
Even I don't call it kaka anymore, just name it to be familiar and add to Ana's spirit. But unfortunately the roar of the audience was very crowded with screams to get Ana out.
"Take Ana out, change her out" the voice came back as a result of Ana's second mistake. Ana's mistake was fatal because she made our team even further behind.
"Come here" call coach Alam to me
"Ready coach" I walked over to him
"Now you warm up for 2 minutes and then replace Ana"
"Good coach" I followed the coach's directions. Right in the 68th minute I went into the field to replace Ana.
