The Football Club was born some years ago. Although their stadium has been renovated in recent years, but the capacity of the stadium is still less than 9,000.

Before the start of the match, the players warmed up in the Stadium. After a full warm-up, they returned to the locker room. Coach Koeman and the coaching staff were waiting for them.

After giving the players time to change shirts, put on the boots and make sure everything is ready, Koeman claps his hands and lets everyone look at the tactics board. Ravier was the starting goalkeeper and wore number 20. As most of the other numbers were already taken, he therefore chose this one.

Before leaving the locker room, Koeman raised the team's morale and told them:

- You know we are playing the Champions League knockout rounds. Even if this team is not a very big team, you still have to take them seriously. We send an absolute composition to play the game, it's also to give you the opportunity to prove yourself.

After this little speech, one by one the players came out of the locker room and headed for the field.

- Hello, welcome to this match. It's one of the Champions League knockout rounds. The two teams that will face each other today, are FC Ajax and Graze AK.

The players of the Grazer AK team lined up to be ready to play, Ravier was in his goals. The head referee stood in front of the line, looking at his watch to determine the kick-off time.

The popularity of the champion league is very high, so there are many commercial value in the TV broadcast.

- The new season is about to start. Austrian team Grazer is at home to host AFC Ajax. Let me now introduce you to the starting line-up of both teams.

Grazer started with:

Goalkeeper: Andreas.

Defender: Gregor, Mario, Ehmann, Pogatetz, Ramusch, Aufhauser,

Midfield: Dollinger Matthias

Attacker: Milinkovic, Naumoski, Roland.

AFC Ajax started with:

Goalkeeper: Ravier.

Defender: Trabelsi, Escude, Maxwell, Grygera

Midfield: Pienaar, Van Der Vaart, Sneijder, Wamberto, Yakubu,

Forwards: Sonck.

- It should be mentioned that in the starting line-up of AFC Ajax there is a new face which makes us very strange, as far as I know, AFC Ajax signed free player on last month. This one came from Spain. His name is Ravier,16 years old. He is very young. And today Ravier is making his professional debut, he played in the goalkeeper position.

In the eyes of many Ajax fans, Stekelenburg will replace Lebont in the near future, so Ravier will only be the team's third goalkeeper.

What kind of existence does the third goalkeeper belong to in a team? Unless one of the first two goalkeepers is injured, otherwise he will never be in the starting list. As for the media, they don't care about a player who has no reputation.

Ravier does not care much about what people or the newspapers may say about him. As a player, if you want to be noticed and respected, you have to prove yourself in the game.

The match had already started.

After Milinkovic gently returned the ball, he rolled it to Matthias who looked straight ahead, his eyes, watching the situation.

When Pienaar was only a few steps away from him, he moved. He took a step forward then pushed the ball and half a yard on his right foot and then made a long pass.

Not to mention the opposing team, even the many spectators in the stands are extremely surprised. Koeman on the side of the field was also surprised by this decision.

Boom!

When Pienaar rushed towards him, he immediately turned and escaped. The football went from Grazer backcourt to the AFC half very quickly.

The ball crossed the middle of Ajax's midfield, Sneijder and Van Der Vaart also predicted where the ball would land. They turned to run after him while warning the defenders.

In football matches, the long pass is widely used, because this style of play is simple and effective. Following the long pass, there will be some confusion, which is likely to create opportunities.

The coach's arrangement allowed him to make this choice. Despite the fact that they are not a very big club, they also have some excellent players. Milinkovic, the Striker, has excellent explosiveness and speed. At the same time, the speed and explosiveness of the left winger Roland is very excellent. In Matthias own judgment, at the start of the match, although Ajax weren't conservative, they underestimated the opposing team a bit and Matthias found out after the kick-off. He judged that his teammates has the opportunity to counter the offside, so he made this long pass.

All the public present on the scene, was amazed by seeing the trajectory of the ball and the situation of the player of Grazer.

Milinkovic had managed the offside.

He ran towards the area where the football is about to land. It was a golden opportunity for him to easily face the keeper. Despite the fact that most of the players reacted in time, they were still a little behind on this action. The speed of the ball is fast and their reaction time too slow.

He seems in good shape in this new season. When his teammates passed the ball to him, he not only ran into the penalty area, but also ran in an open position.

- This is a dangerous action; the only things he has to do now is firmly push the ball into the goal.

After receiving the ball, he didn't need to make any adjustments and pushed it straight.

- The goal was scored...No...….! no.....! Not scored...….! Oh, Milinkovic's shot was blocked! A hand blocked the ball about to enter the goal!

- It's Ravier! He blocked this shot!

When the Milinkovic entered the penalty area with the ball, Ravier took a step to the left. This step was enough for Ravier to block Milinkovic angle tir .

The concentrated Ravier showed his strength in this match. He was able to make a save when his opponent shot, and made him miss this one-on-one opportunity.

Seeing the ball blocked by Ravier, the striker looked a little shaken. In this case, the inability to score this goal is a blow for any attacker. Especially against a team like Ajax. So, the golden opportunity for him to score the first goal has passed.

After this action, the players of the team recovered and scored a difficult goal in the 40th minutes. The first goal was scored by Sneijder.

The second half already began we are now playing the 60th minutes. Until now there is not many big action. The two teams are playing very defensively.

By the time the referee end the game, there are still no other goal.

- The game is over and Ajax win it. We have seen the performance of this new goalkeeper. This first game, he performed very well, not only did not lose the ball, but also made a wonderful save.

Ravier never thought a match would be famous all over the world. Although there are not many famous people in the world of football, being famous also requires a prerequisite. The conditions for a goalkeeper to become famous are stricter than any other positions.

For Ravier, accumulating experience is the most important thing. After this match, Ravier's daily life has not changed. After this game he didn't played any other one.

The Eredivisie league began and we have already played 2 games.

Vitesse vs Ajax, this game end with the score of 1-2. Ajax win it . With a goal from Sneijder and a gift goal from the defender of Vitesse.

The other game, we played against RBC Roosendaal. And the only goal of the game was scored by Soetaers from AFC Ajax.
