1 Day before the match between Cova Piedade against Arouca. The event will be held at the Cova Piedade home or at the Jose Martins Vieira Municipal stadium.
The stadium can only hold 3500 spectators.
On the field of Arouca's training team, now Sean and other colleagues are practicing tactics.
This tactic exercise is demonstrated by playing the game 4 vs 4. This is so that the players can maximize the accuracy of their passing.
In this 4 vs 4 game also the coach recommends that his players move quickly to find the next space after passing.
This is also done so that the players are accustomed to every tight pressing that the opponent does later.
In addition to finding space, maximizing the accuracy of his passing or passes, the players must also be able to bear the burden if other teammates do not find space.
The burden here is that he must be able to control the ball and try not to be captured by the opponent.
This is a tactical scheme that will be used by coach Jorge Costa.
Maximize good accuracy with very fast passes because players must immediately find space again when they have given passes.
On a wide field where 11 players versus 11 players, players can also maximize the width of the field that makes it easier to find space.
The drawback is only distance, so the coach recommends to increase the accuracy of his passing, so that if his teammates are in a long distance, his passing can be precisely given to his teammates and not deviated.
Game 4 vs 4 is on the run for 5 minutes then rest 3 minutes, after which start again 5 minutes.
This is also so that the player can regulate his stamina.
Although the players were very tired because they had been training for days like this, but they also felt a lot of progress in their passing accuracy.
Their vision to find space is also a little more wide open because they often get used to looking for empty space.
Although the feet are always heavy to move quickly, the players force it but do not exceed their natural limits for fear of injury.
"Snake.."
With a whistle blown by coach Jorge Costa, the players stopped playing the 4 vs 4 game.
"That's enough, you've seen a lot of progress. Although this isn't enough and it's not quite what I want, it's better than before."
"Now cooling down, practice time is enough."
The coach also turned around and chatted with the coach's assistant about some tactical schemes for tomorrow.
After a while the team training was over, everyone was back in the dressing room except for Sean who did the extra training.
An additional exercise today, Sean did not do his physical training but his technique training.
Starting from the shooting movement that passes through several cone obstacles and dribbles that pass several cones.
This Sean train so that when dribbling his ball he does not lose the ball too far from his feet, this can also train to maximize the speed of dribbling the ball.
After 15 to 20 minutes, Sean also finished his training and returned to the dressing room, where it had been very quiet.
Sean keeps his training shoes in a locker and keeps his training t-shirts in the team's laundry room.
He also did not forget to take a copy shirt from his locker.
Returning to his dormitory with a state that was still very tired, Sean walked because the distance was also close.
A few minutes later, Sean arrived at his dorm. He leaned his back on the study chair with his legs still stretched out below.
Sighing deeply and adjusting his breathing slowly, Sean closed his eyes.
Before long he also opened his eyes, "Almost a week, training like this is done."
"Although it's very draining but it looks more effective."
"In addition, I also feel that my stamina is also increasing from the previous capacity limit."
"Just, I don't know if the scheme the coach wants will go smoothly or not."
After a while, Sean took a shower and cleaned his body.
..
In the evening, Sean who had finished worship opened his phone because there was no activity anymore.
He also wants to relax a little because some days it is very rare to play mobile phones.
Indeed, Sean very rarely played mobile phones this past week because at the beginning of the beginning of training a new coach scheme, Sean was very tired because he was not used to it.
He could only lay down his body and fall asleep when the initial start after finishing training so there was no time to play the phone.
Opening his chat application, he saw that his school group used to be very quiet, he saw the last message sent by his friends in the school group.
After reading it, Sean is shocked to see that the content of his last message is that one of his friends at school died due to a motorcycle accident.
Of course shocked.
Sean then calls Alby but is not picked up, calling Gilang and other friends but is not picked up.
"Are they at Dika's house?"
Dika was Sean's schoolmate who died, Sean thought so because he would usually serve and take along to bury his corpse.
"It's really Dika, but why did he get into an accident?" Sean asked when he had seen some photos at the scene of the accident.
Although only a little visible face Dika, Sean was sure because the chatter in his group was also crowded before it became very quiet.
Sean saw that in the photo, the bike was destroyed.
Sean tried to call his friend again but was not picked up either.
He finally gave up and chose to open his Instagram application.
After focusing on playing on his instagram app, Sean's phone screen changed because Alby called him, Sean answered.
"Hallo Sean what's wrong?" Ask Alby.
"That, I saw in the group, is it true that the news about Dika?" Sean tried to convince again despite believing.
"Yeah, now me and the others are still at Dika's house."
"Oh I'm sorry, so how did it go?" Ask Sean.
Alby then told Sean the story.
Where Dika was on his way home after dropping off his girlfriend, but when he came home he found that the brakes were blong and it was on a downhill track, so the speed of the motorbike increased.
Dika also tried to stop his bike by using his foot that braked on the road, but it only slowed a little and the speed was still fast.
Because there was no chance to stop the bike, Dika also jumped from the bike, but the jump was not too good and his shoes stuck on the motorcycle step.
Dika who had lost control was finally dragged by his motorbike, the motorbike that no driver was finally hit the road barrier and Dika also hit.
But due to the wrong position, his ribs were broken and pierced inward, his head was also hit hard.
Sean who listened to the story was horrified.
"That's enough, I understand."
"So when was he buried?"
"Tomorrow morning, now waiting for a distant family to come."
"All right then."
Sean hangs up, transfers 3 million dollars to Alby and sends Alby a message.
'Say I'm sorry and sorry I couldn't attend, this may help."
Sean gave 3 million though not much was enough, Sean was also not present and could only help him with it.
