Sean and teammate Arouca are already in the locker room of the stadium Municipal Jose Martins Vieira belonging to the team Cova Piedade.

Sean and his team-mates left early in the morning due to a match at the title in the afternoon. You can leave in the morning because the trip is also not far enough which will not make players tired after the trip.

In the team's dressing room, Sean and his partner were changing into Arouca's team uniform.

With just a few preparations everything is also finished, just wait for the coach to give further instructions.

The coach has not given any instructions as he is still speaking with his coach's assistant.

After a while, the coach approached the players.

"Listen well."

"Try to adapt to the schemes we've been training for the past week, this is also our chance because Cova Piedade's got a lot of bad results so we can still assume they haven't changed."

"But don't underestimate it too much because their team last season could finish in the middle position where it is enough capital that the opposing team players and coaches are also capable, which is also capable, it's just that they're unlucky this season and probably because they haven't prepared a new scheme either."

"Multiple passes or short passes, if the short distance is difficult because the space is limited and the space is closed, try to find a little distance, take advantage of the width of the field."

"Don't be afraid to use long passes or long passes if short passes can't be done."

"Get into the opponent's territory, press them with a lot of passes."

"When you're in your firing zone, don't hesitate to try."

"Try to have a lot of goals in this match."

"Lacken unnecessary mistakes."

"Okay, that." The coach clapped his hands at the players.

The players then chatted for a while while waiting for the official staff of the match to arrive.

Outside, the audience from the Arouca team had only a few who had come because the tickets had already been sold out.

Tickets are bought by the Cova Piedade team.

Usually in large stadium stadiums there is always a limit, but because the capacity is small so almost all tickets are owned by the audience of the Cova Piedade team.

The audience of Arrouca's team that came was probably only 100 people or so. Usually if in a large stadium, the spectators of the away team Arouca will come with a minimum number of 500 or 600.

Not felt, the audience who had been cheering and singing had seen that the players had entered the field.

The commentators in the field had also entered his working hours, they started talking.

"Here, Cova Piedade's team has to fight a team that is now in its prime."

"With Cova Piedade themselves, they are in a bad condition, they have suffered many draws and defeats this season."

"But looking at their performance last season, maybe they will come back again in today's game."

"I hope so." The other commentator.

"Alright, let's just watch, because the kick off has also started."

Kick off at the start with the Arouca team, where the captain or Jubal opts for the ball first.

With the kick off ball that Ericson kicked, the players of Arouca's team did not stay in place even though they were not in the opponent's pressing.

They immediately moved in search of empty space. Forwards like Sean, Roberto and Lopes have already entered the opposition's territory, but not yet too deep.

"Yes indeed, they move quickly and always look for empty space after giving the pass." Another commentator.

"I don't know if their stamina will be able to last for 2 innings if they continue to do something like this?"

"But it is seen that there is still a slight error which may allow that they are also adapting to this scheme."

Indeed, the mistake made by the players Arouca is that they do a lot of short passes even though they are in pressing, despite having trained like that, he said, but the coach's advice is to try to find space and take advantage of the width of the field.

Entering the 13th minute, the ball was still controlled by Arouca team and Cova Piedade team only occasionally controlled the ball and it was not long because they were too rushed to attack and not compose an attack, he said, so that the ball they mastered to attack quickly was seized again quickly by the players Arouca.

Sean who is in the defense of the opponent has moved since then but he still has not found many opportunities to hold the ball because he is always in strict guard.

Sean is also aware of this that if he continues like this, he will not be able to develop again.

Sean moved while continuing to think about how to break this tight control.

He wants to improve and reach a new level.

'Let's go you can Sean, don't be easily provoked by small things, don't be offended by any bad remarks that come out of the player's mouth.'

Indeed, in addition to being closely guarded Sean is also often disturbed by sarcastic and dirty remarks from full back opponents who guard him.

"Little players like you are too fast to play in the Pro League."

"Otherwise you're Asian, it's European."

Keep saying his speech did not stop but Sean ignored him.

When entering the 21st minute, Sean saw that Santos looked a little troubled after controlling the ball.

Sean moved his index finger to the right where it was the empty space opened by him.

Santos who was still looking around despite being in distress was also aware of Sean's small movements.

He then immediately made a long, flat pass on Sean's empty right side.

Sean also moved quickly to receive the ball before full back opponents were conscious.

When Sean had received the ball with good ball control, Sean turned and looked at the penalty box, but what Sean saw was a full back opponent who had been keeping it tight.

Sean smiled because he was still confident if 1 against 1.

Sean then moves the ball to the left side, where it is the side to go to the corner of the field.

Sean moved the ball slowly, he used the soles of his feet to move the ball, it was like stepping but Sean just pressed a little and moved it smoothly.

When he got near the corner of the field, Sean moved his body and legs quickly in the opposite direction.

Sean's ball is also moved by his outer foot to the right.

Full back opponents who had been overshadowing Sean's movements were also fooled because they did not think Sean had another movement suddenly arrived.

Sean who had done the trick immediately pushed the ball in the penalty box.

But when going to enter the penalty box, another defender came.

Sean was forced to step over it and move the ball with his outside right foot, where the ball out of the penalty box again.

But Sean quickly ran towards the ball again and shot straight towards the goal without looking at the goal.
