A Goat'S Journey
18.

august 14, 2027,

Monday begins with the flag ceremony in the morning.

After the ceremony, Jean never thought again about returning to the secretariat as before.

She knew that her homeroom teacher would not give her a 15-minute break after the completion of the ceremony.

He had also told me about this in the secretariat but he had only gotten laughter from the seniors.

The seniors knew very well about Jean's homeroom teacher and suggested that she should not be rash and late when she studied, otherwise she could get punished.

This Monday is a waiting day for Jean and the players of the Pasundan High School football team.

The distribution of schedules arranged by the Federation will be sent today to the school and Mr. Jamal will certainly receive it.

Because he is the one who serves as a guide and extracurricular manager of football.

The players who are waiting for this news of course there are also anxieties, they are afraid of their first schedule playing away which will make unpleasant.

If the season starts badly, it's not good for their own mentality.

In the center of the capital, a tall and majestic building.

There are many rooms in this building with individual rooms or very large meeting rooms.

Currently in the meeting room whose size is ordinary there are several people who are gathering.

They are members of the central federation.

"Everything's done?"

"It's sir."

"Then, send me this letter."

"Good sir!"

Soon the subordinate returned and reported the order to send a letter.

The letter in question is a letter that is online and sent by email so that it can be easily and directly received as quickly as possible in each section.

In the afternoon, the players from the Pasundan High School football team were in the secretariat room.

They didn't come home after the school bell, they chose to gather in the secretariat room and hang out there while waiting for a letter containing the match schedule.

Mr. Jamal in the room looked at his laptop that was connected to the school wifi network.

He constantly refreshes the mailbox to see if the letter has been sent or not.

"It's over!" Shouted Mr. Jamal after finding the latest letter.

He clicked it right away.

The players who were outside also directly ran into the room.

"How sir?"

Mr. Jamal did not answer and only focused on scrolling the match schedule.

After a while he turned his head and said: "We were lucky, our first schedule was playing at home and we were playing right away at the opening."

Although he said opening, but more precisely this match will be in the title along with other teams who play on the same date.

Because all matches only have a schedule between Saturday and Sunday only.

"What opponent first, sir?" Ask Noel immediately.

This is what he is most important to.

"First we will compete against High School Jaya Sakti Bandoeng."

SMA Jaya Sakti Bandoeng is a school that has been established for a long time.

The name also does not change and still sets the name first from Bandung.

The football team from this school last year finished in the middle position of the standings.

Hearing Mr. Jamal's answer, the players let alone Noel immediately rubbed his chest.

"All right, you can go home now."

"It's afternoon, I'll also send the schedule to Coach Pudra."

The students nodded, Jean and the others immediately took their bags stored in the locker and rushed home.

On the way to the school gate these students are still chatting about the opponent they will face, namely Jaya Sakti Bandoeng High School.

The next day, August 15, 2027.

The students including Jean go through the day with lessons.

After school, Jean rushed home.

He has to save energy because today there will be training with the team.

Jean initially planned to bring her training equipment in the morning just as the seniors did.

But Jean remembers that her mother always cooks during the day.

The seniors they did not return home and chose to hang out in the secretariat room until 3pm while waiting for practice hours.

In the afternoon, Jean gathered with the players at the Pasundan Ground.

The players who are not in the squad to wade through the school League are still in training.

This will certainly be seen by the coach to see if next year can be used or not.

"Training from now on will be only a warm-up, a brief physical challenge and a direct to understanding strategy."

"I'm sure for basic techniques you're already proficient at right."

Of course not all, and the coach's speech only refers to a few people.

Like Jean, although she felt that her basic control and technique was strong, she always did the exercises in the morning or evening if there was no training schedule.

Immediately the players warm up for 10 - 15 minutes.

Coach Evan Vano who is a physical trainer has implemented several settings so that physical training can be started immediately.

Unlike Fahri and Adnan, both of them have stood under the goal to train with goalkeeper coach Rusman Aditya.

After physical training that went straight to the intermediate intensity level, the players were instantly exhausted.

Coach Evan saw this also directly report to coach Maha Pudra that the condition of the player is not convincing to run his tactics later.

Tactics and strategy Pudra coach has one condition that the physical players must be truly qualified.

First, physical use will be used when defending from an opponent's attack.

The coach wants to use a deadly counter-attack using his winger especially considering the quality of the pass from Elvin which is very extraordinary.

This will help in the course of the counterattack later.

Both of these physical uses will be used to make aggressive pressing in the opponent's territory.

Allows the players to keep moving on the field.

When mastering the ball is also the same the players must continue to move in the field looking for space and take advantage of every opportunity that exists.

"What's wrong, for now it's enough. In the future they will get used to it."

"It's a good thing the first opponent wasn't too tough, right?"

Coach Maha Pudra just smiled and did not answer.

He did not want to underestimate every enemy.

Immediately after the completion of physical training, the players are encouraged to play the match practice with the use of tactics and strategies from coach Maha Pudra.

The red-vests A team plays aggressive pressing pressure, while the B team must counter-attack.

With team A continuing to press aggressively, team B loses the ball.

Mastery is also done by team A, and this is when the test is also how the defense of team B and how whether they can counterattack quickly or not.

This is really the perfect combination if both of these schemes can be directly applied in 1 team.
