FC Kneipenkick update:
League round 21: BVB Dortmund 0-1 FC Kneipenkick
FC Kneipenkick played today at league primus BVB Dortmund, who trashed us 5-0 in our home leg and was so far unbeaten.
If this task would not have been tough enough (BVB has a team full of scouts enriched with some 5* close to scout level) in todays training K. Upton (6 points away from 7*) got injured. Since we save red packs oldie Guido Kunz got the chance to start again.
BVB Dortmund played as usual with a very offensive 3N-MC-AML-AMC-AMR-3ST. In the home match I tried to attack the team over the wing, but failed massively. Today FCK tried another approach and fielded an asymmetric 3N-DML-DMC-DMR-MC(r)-AMC-2ST.
Due to better fan support BVB went into the match with a +7% bonus and started the match offensively, but failed to break Kneipenkicks strengthened center. FCKs massive defense tackled the attacks well and kept dangerous up front. 3 minutes before the half-time whistle FCK played a nice counter and Guide Kunz could only be stopped by foul, close to the penalty area. FCKs top freekick specialist B. Decker (AMR/MR) was not fielded due to tactical reasons, instead DML/DL Jo Garcia took the chance and hammered the ball into the net (42.). With 1-0 for FCK both teams went into the HT break. Both teams went with the same formations into the second half, where BVB made good pressure, but failed to create real chances, FCK even had a chance plus, but was unable to score. So it remained 1-0 for FCK and BVBs lead melted to 4 points (probably enough to win the trophy, our first league matches were too horrible).
