Portuguese football has many competitions, such as the Primeira Liga which is the top league of Portuguese football.

It was followed by the Pro League, where Sean now plays in the Pro League.

There are also divisions 3 and 4, only that many are known to the outside only the top 2 divisions.

In Portuguese football competition, there is a name Taca de Portugal, or can be called a domestic cup.

Taca de Portugal is the national competition of Portugal. It is followed by professional teams and amateur teams.

So division 3 and division 4 as well as club clubs that do not have an official license from Portugal can also join this competition.

The winner of the Taca de Portugal competition can play again a competition called Super taca Candido de Oliviera.

Super taca Candido de Oliviera as the name suggests, is a super cup.

The match is played between the 1st league champion or Primeira Liga and Taca de Portugal.

For the winning team in the Super Taca Candido de Oliviera competition, the winning team will get qualified to enter the UEFA Europa League UEL competition.

But it's still in the qualifying phase just not yet included in the group.

In addition to Taca de Portugal, there is also Taca da Liga where this is the league cup.

The league cup is only followed by the top 2 leagues in Portugal. Where only Primeira Liga and Pro League.

For 2 seasons, the competition in Portugal is very much where this can also add to the experience of young players.

It can also be a stepping stone for young players playing in the lower divisions.

If the young players are playing well, they can also get the attention of the top league.

In August and September, usually Taca de Portugal has been started, only Sean or Arouca team still do not get a chance because so many teams are participating.

For the first time, usually the amateur team first, then go up to the 4th and 3rd divisions after that, after the team wins and passes new they can meet Primeira Liga and Pro League teams.

Like the word, the team teams in Primeira Liga and Pro League are waiting for the amateur team team in front.

It is not because it is unfair but so that the teams get many opportunities and also have a lot of valuable experience in order to continue to grow.

...

2 Days later,

Sean, who is already in the dressing room of Estadio da Barreiros, is in labor with other colleagues.

In the match between Arouca and Uniao, Sean was included in the starting line-up again.

The coach has full confidence in Sean.

When the players have finished maternity, the coach also gives instructions to the players.

"Today's match, Uniao. Uniao this season does have a pretty good result than any other team."

"They've drawn 2 and lost 1."

"It shows that the Uniao team has improved, so we as Arouca team who have a positive trend of 3 matches 3 wins do not be leha leha and do not underestimate it."

"Especially they are hosts and play in their own home."

"Nobody knows what's going to happen on the field. We can only do our best."

"So be careful when holding the ball, reduce every mistake and behavior that is not needed."

"Cratch an early goal, then start a little passive, after the opponent goes from passive to active and aggressive forward, then we go out and take the field."

The players nodded in understanding, indeed, if you look at each match and the results of the match, Coach Uniao and his team of analysts must have seen and assessed how the Arouca players played.

"If you can, don't use counter-attacks, usually teams of lower teams like Uniao will be more aware of the defense so it's better to use possession if there is a chance of counter-attacking, so it's better to use the ball if there is a chance of counter-attacking, don't be so rushed."

With it the coach fiddles with the formation board, predicting every move of the opponent and letting the Arouca players gain free space.

On the tactics board as well, the coach explains the path the ball is better passing through where and where.

After some additional instructions, the match officials came and informed that the player must go straight to the player's aisle.

Sean and his teammates who played early walked into the players aisle.

"spirit." Rocha said to Sean who was standing in the hallway of the player, Rocha must sit on the bench so he went out of the field first.

After a while, the players started to go out of the players aisle and enter the field.

Commentators also tell the starting line of both teams first.

"Ohh, the 17-year-old played even earlier." Excited when he saw Sean was still in the list of starting line-ups.

Then later the commentator went on to explain the starting line of both teams.

At the time the captains were discussing with the referees. Sean and his partner had gathered together to begin praying first.

Compared to Sean and his partner who were about to start praying, the audience cheered loudly.

Whether it was the audience of Uniao or Arouca who was doing away.

The crowd is encouraging because their team is in a very good phase and needs more support to play better and get a lot of motivation.

"What do you think of that young player who is now starting again?" Commenter on other commenters.

"Dee from the statistics of this young player, it is very surprising, 3 games 5 goals and 1 assist."

"Which coach doesn't want to bring down a talented young player like him, maybe coach Jorge Costa is a coach who is sensitive to talent and trusts him to play even earlier."

"It's not because he's talented, but his sharpness and poise must also be in the thumbs up." The other commentator.

"Yes, you know where he came from?"

"Indonesia, a beautiful country with many sights and a country with unique food characteristics."

"Indeed, but the football there has not advanced. And now there's 1 that has such great potential."

"I don't know if he's going to transfer citizenship?" Her frontal revelation that made the other commentators stunned.

The other commentator laughed.

"Well, let's get back to the game, the game's about to start." Commentator revealed.

With that, on the green field, the Arouca players started their kick off.

The referee's whistle went off and Ericson began to pass the ball backwards.

Sean did not move forward quickly but was still looking for position and free space to receive the ball.
