Chptr 88's.


The Stade Parseiman dressing room belongs to the Indonesian national team.


The players are sitting with their legs on their back long forward, their legs are not folded so as not to occur varicose veins.


Not only that but to minimize the stiffness in the legs and so as not to occur cramps.


While stretching his legs forward with a straight, players also while drinking mineral water to quench their thirst also replenish the stamina that has been drained.


Coach Indra was still silent and observed the players who were still busy drinking.


After a while, "Game pretty good this time."


"Only, your work is unsatisfactory."


"The two goals we scored today, less than a contribution from you."


"Did you see it? Sean worked himself to score that goal."


"You should work harder to ease the burden on the other players."


"While we don't know if we're going to win or lose, at least we gave everything we had in today's game."


"I'm Sean!" Reveal it.


The players are confused by what the coach said.


"Didn't you know?" Ask the coach about the players.


"During the group stages until the semi-finals, Sean has not released his full ability like playing in the Portuguese Pro League there." Reveal it.


The players are of course surprised by the words of the coach, because they have felt that Sean is very good and the distance is also quite far.


But now hearing again these words made them realize that they were looking at Sean one eye too much.


Sean, who was talking about, just put on an indifferent face and listened.


"Why could that be?" Ask the coach again.


"Because during the group stages until the semi-finals, I mostly instructed you guys a lot."


"Not like now."


"I told you to play loose."


"Know what it means to play loose?"


"Free as you please, don't get too hung up on the schemes and instructions I give you. It all depends on you."


"Do you know?"


"Sean scored these 2 goals only, honestly, he hasn't pulled out completely. Isn't that right, Sean?" Ask her.


The intention of the coach asking this, of course Sean knows that the other players have an additional boost to be more excited and aware of their abilities are still lacking.


Sean simply replied by nodding his head.


"You see? I'm not underestimating you guys. It's just that at least you guys should give it your highest and maximum ability."


"The goal is that you can reach the limit and continue to cross that limit so that you grow."


"Over this time who's seen Sean always do extra workouts on his own?" Ask her.


The players are silent.


Indeed during training with the national team, Sean did not do additional training around the field after training with the national team.


But he always does his extra training before training with the national team.


It is also on the page provided by the hotel, where the page is enough to do some exercise techniques.


Such as zig zag running, dribble ball and others.


It just can't practice shooting.


Many players did not know Sean's additional activities during this time. They only know that if Sean doesn't come with them playing outside, Sean will definitely stay in his own room.


"Look, Sean alone has more ability than you are still training harder because he feels that his ability is not enough to play in Europe's highest competition."


"Target your dreams high."


"Don't just want to play in Europe, but it's not clear where it is."


"So I hope you'll do the same thing later."


"All right let's move on." Reveal it.


Then the coach gave some instructions, early start he just wanted to give motivation so that the other players are not too down after they win but quickly in reply.


Instructions given by the coach are as usual.


It is recommended that players make a solid defense, filling the space that has been left by other players who are pressing.


The pass path of the ball must also be closed in order to seize the ball.


The players understood and in their hearts they instilled that they have to give their best in the second half.


After a while, the break was also up and the players returned to the pitch fit but not too fit.


That's because of the rest that is still lacking.


Play for 40 minutes more but only rest 15 minutes.


Once the players enter the field, kick off will start again.


The spectators at Stade Parseiman also cheered again after waiting for 15 minutes.


Commentators in the television broadcast room of the Indonesian channel have also re-enacted the match on the green field on the audience screen.


The audience at home is also focused on watching Indonesia's final match against Portugal again in this Toulon tournament.


The commentator is excited.


"Well, loyal spectators, the match will start again soon."


"I don't know if Indonesia can secure this position and add to the score again or they have to be reciprocated and left behind."


"Therefore, as long as you watch, the two of us will accompany you with talks that continue to discuss today's match." Reveal the commentator while sitting focused on the match that has been started.


Where the ball is controlled by the Portuguese players in his territory.


It seems Portugal is not in a hurry to attack.


They try to attract Indonesian players to their territory and after that they will enter Indonesian territory.


But such a strategy would not be useful for Indonesia.


The Indonesian players waited patiently in their own territory.


But when the ball controlled by the Portuguese player entered a little Indonesian territory, one Indonesian player will press so that they return to their territory again.


Such things keep repeating, and the Portuguese players are also forced to flip the ball continuously in order to lure the Indonesian players out.


In this second half, it looks like this match will be about patience.


Those who are more patient are those who are attracted.


The Indonesian players are patient and focus on every pass of the opponent, even if they are patient, they also keep trying to close every gap and space for the pass path of the opponent's ball so as not to reach their attackers who are now in the territory of Indonesia.


But the Portuguese attacker was just like being cooped up in a bird cage.


He could not move much freely because every move, Nurhidayat will follow him, while Irianto who will close the gap from the path of the ball later.


Firza and Asnawi did the same with Nurhidayat.


They both followed the Portugal Winger's players on the move, although far from his territory, they would continue to follow him.


Firza and Asnawi are not afraid of their territory because they will fill the space they have left behind.


Egy and Sean are going to fill it.
