The teams are of equal quality with mine having a small advantage. Will write a report in 20-25 minute, hopefully it works!
Well, he didn't show up...
I had 15% possession bonus. No real chances during the first half, so I changes the passing to "long", didn't help. Then I changdt the orders- attacking, mixed, mixed and started creating chances. Finally got a penalty on 70 mins and scored. Then I scored another after a cross from the left and reverted to my old instructions. He managed to score a goal, but in the end I won!
Still I don't think it was a very successful tactic. Perhaps a 4-5-1 or something...
