He had just passed him using the Marseille maneuvre.

With this action, he fell to the ground since he lost his center of gravity. And collided with Maduro who was not too far from him.

By the time the two fell to the ground, he had completed his move and was continuing to drive the ball forward.

At this time, everyone on the side of the field took a breath and was shocked by his performance. He had already arrived in front of the Defender line of the yellow team. So, he made a pass to Demur who was at a better place.

He goes to meet the two defenders, Timisara and Dean Delhi.

Dean Delhi, 17, is completely freaked out!

The performance of the red team brought him unprecedented pressure. Prior to the confrontation, Demur noticed Dean Delhi's confusing eyes. He slowed down a bit and pretended to shoot. Dean Delhi immediately blocked the action in front of him, even using his body to block the angle of the shot. But the next second he saw with horror Demur dribbling the ball again.

It was a fake shot.

Seeing this, Timisara then rushed forward. Demur passed it quickly. Then faced Ravier in the penalty area.

Contrary to what Demur thought, Ravier did not immediately give up the goals, but also blocked his shooting angle very well. Demur realized that this young goalkeeper was not as panicky as the other defenders.

Ravier got into position in front of him, so Demur placed his shot. He kicked the ball with his right foot. The ball therefore rolled slowly in front of Ravier. He reached out and blocked the ball. 10 centimeters less and the ball could have entered the goal.

But Ravier used his Speed, ​​Judgment and his new card to block this shot. Quickly he brought the ball back to him and then got up. This stoppage on his part may seem easy but it was really not the case. If he was only a few seconds behind, he would have conceded that goal.

The audience was shocked since this action was downright a goal. It's not just attackers who know how to perform miracles. Goalkeepers know how to do it too.

The training ground was suddenly quiet.

Everyone looked at Ravier, who was getting up. Before him stood Demur who had a look of shock on his face.

In front of Demur, Timisara and Dean Delhi just stood up, and they both looked a little ashamed but there was also a relief expression on their faces. Seeing this, Van Gaal dismissed the idea of ​​leaving, as he wanted to keep watching.

Actions like the one that just happened, there were many others. But each time, Ravier solved them. One thing he noticed was that his "vision" increased another 0.5%. He finally found another way to train it.

The red team players were really frustrated. Whatever they did, their goal was rebuffed by Ravier. Even if Ravier has this interface which can show him his stats. It is no accident that he became so capable. As soon as he found out he was an orphan, he worked hard. The only position he was able to play was goalkeeper. He had additional help with this interface but the statistics he obtained were made by working hard. It was not easy. Sometimes when he didn't succeed, he wanted to quit. But he still persisted for so many years. While some are having fun, he was training. Others his age are in love, he was training. Not once did he stop training.

Because of Ravier, a match that seemed to be very easy has become very difficult. And the players of the opposing team made him the protagonist of this match.

At the end of the training session, the players of the red team grew resentful. But the person who felt most in danger was Veermer. If Ravier had not participated in this match, he would have been in the goal.

After the match, Ravier went directly to Rick Linke and asked him:

- May I stay here?

Rick Linke turned his head and looked at Van Gaal.

- Of course, we have already invite you to join us, now that we have seen your abilities, we have to keep you. Please let's go to the office.

Van Gaal said to Ravier,

- You play very well as a goalkeeper. Believe me; you will have a bright future here if you keep the good work. Being a goalkeeper is a very difficult position.

Ravier learned that he had passed the trial training, he was in a good mood so he nodded

- I believe in myself; I will forge my own future alone.

Van Gaal smiled upon hearing Ravier's statement.

Coming to the office Rick Linke poured him a glass of water, then sat behind the desk and asked first.

- Do you have an agent?

- No

Ravier answered him. Until now he hadn't thought of having an agent since he didn't need one. But now it's different. It's something he needs to put in his diary. Then they talked about his arrival at AFC Ajax. The club will help him deal with some official licensing procedures to stay in the Netherlands for football. On the other hand, he will not give a good contract to Ravier. We can even say that the contract granted by AFC Ajax is not attractive.

Weekly salary of 300 euros, and there is no subsidy.

Ravier looked at what is written and shook his head. He doesn't have an agent at the moment, but he's not an idiot either.

- No, I can accept such a cheap contract, but I cannot accept the contract for four years. It is simply a slave contract. Two years only. If you want it more than to two years, you doubled my weekly salary by ten.

Ravier and Rick Linke continued to discuss the contract and eventually came to an agreement.

Weekly salary of 250 euros without subsidy for 2 years.

Ravier signed the contract not because he thought it was a good one, but simply because he was newcomer.

No fame, no awards, nothing. So, he had to make do with what was offered to him.

It was then that Rick Linke told him about the camp that would take place here before the start of the season. He gave him some encouraging word, then let him go.

Ravier didn't live too far away. He lived near a medium-sized community with a large number of surrounding residents, but far from the city center and tourist attractions of Amsterdam. Overall, the living environment is quieter and minutes from the stadium.

Ravier was in his way, going to buy food and then go home when he met a man who was very badly dressed, unshaven and smelled bad, following him. At first, he didn't think of anything, just someone who was following his path. But, he was surprised to see that the man keep following him everywhere he goes. So he stopped walking.

- What do you want?

Ravier asked him.

- I want to eat and drink water please.

So direct, think Ravier.
