We lost... We were terrible today. no idea what happened to us
Bad ratings all round for us..
But anyway, here's what happened... They started with the 4-1-3N-1-1 and I used 3N-5-2.. conceded a goal then turned to 4-3N-3, made it worse...
We had no chances whatsoever, they had all the chances
**** this.... I knew something like this would happen, that's why I'm not even that bothered.
Damn.... 3N-5-2 suggests to me you weren't playing your natural game, Our league opponents played a strange and rather attacking formation yesterday and caught us out when we were not playing our natural game. I'm not sure what to say other than get your challenge ready for next season and move on, these things happen don't they. A lot of forumers are losing their finals today by the looks of it.
It s been proved through the whole season that 1-1 ending sistems probably have an hidden bonus. All the matches i played so far against 1-1's were struggled over the normality, and i m talking about teams with 5-10 q less than mine. Weirdly enough, narrow diamond and 4-4-2 flat seems to be the counters for them, but in two days all bonuses given to formation will be changed again, i bet.
20 minutes to kick-off in our final...
Will July Fourth win the CL title for the first time with already lost twice in the competition and our 11th title or can Ilknur ve Ognur give us a hard time tonight or even cause an upset?

Trying to retain the CL this season you will notice from the link in Julys earlier post I was here last season & won an unexpected match. this game is a bit more of the same he is playing 3N-DML&R-2-1AM-2 I plan to counter with Narrow diamond with a view to change to Standard 4-4-2 if required. KO in 20 mins, will post the result. Going to give my team talk, hopefully I wont need the hair-dryer at half time.

UNKI - Palaiseau FC
5 minutes to go
I won it 3 times in L13,L14,L15 and that was because I did a lot of PT to 8 scouts that season to beat a team 3 levels higher under the old format and just as I was catching that team up level-wise they changed the system, then won it last season when I had a favourable draw (only teams my level and a level above were in it) plus a bit more power training I planned than normal. Don't think I will win cup for a while but I may get another chance soon.
Congrats July
I also managed to retain the cup & the bubbly is flowing, well wine for me.
Possession was 60 - 40 no show from opponent manager

Be confident Scouts are not all that they are cracked up to be I tried to go for scouts but sold them due to poor performance Then bought some youngsters & trained them every oportunity I now have 2 manually raised scouts that I can be proud of.
Good luck for tonight

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - FINAL
July Fourth 4-0 Ilknur ve Ozgur
July Fourth 125.5 3N-4-1-2 then 75 minutes 3N-3W-1-3 - Ilknur ve Ozgur 117.6 4-4-2 Classic
We have been playing 3N-4-1-2 against 4-4-2 for a while and we were more than prepared for this final, July Fourth got off to a flying start with Michu getting in the defence a couple of times but fired miles past the goal both times, But soon O'Sullivan fired us in the lead from long range and the keeper could not keep it out, Schornik had a shot saved before he blocked a Beckett shot and Ramirez cut out a couple of crosses, Michu again kept terrorising the defence and he got a pass to Pietropaolo who fired over the bar, Childs on a counter attack looked a certainty to make it 2-0 but the keeper saved it for a corner but nothing came of it, Michu again was causing problems and this time he found Pietropaolo and he made no mistake, Miku had a shot blocked just before HT.
The second half continued off where we left off, July Fourth playing good football and Ilknur ve Ozgur just were powerless to stop us from winning another CL it seemed, Beckett's free-kick was blocked before Michu picked off another pass for O'Sullivan to bury it for his brace, the final was as good as over, Papaleo was continuing from the league game by trying to get a shot on target but Mohd Noor blocked it, Beckett and Pietropaolo then had efforts blocked and another counter attack saw Papaleo beating the defence and playing it for Pietropaolo only to put it over, he did however make a mend for this as with the move of the game he made a solo run with the ball and chipped the keeper while being 1v1 against him... Minutes later Ramirez was sent off for a professional foul as Gudovic looked to try and grab a consolation for Ilknur ve Ozgur, Zanellati fired it against the wall and we defended out another attack from Gudovic again when he got through on goal and Zanellati's shot was kept out by knight for a corner and the corner came in from Comino and Calavicci headed it away and Malik saw out the final challenge from Zanellati to ensure we kept a clean sheet as the final whistle sounded.
Goals: O'Sullivan (10,53) Pietropaolo (37,75) MOTM: Michu.
S/O: Ramirez (79)
Team Talk: We won another CL Final and retain our title, this time we played an excellent game and I can't think of many teams that may of beaten me today on my level, maybe Batigo United if they are at their best, but today was a brilliant performance and quite easily could of been 8,9 or 10-0. Once again... WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!! Ramirez was sent off in last seasons CL Final as well as this Final as you may remember.
Our opponent decided to copy out our setup. Despite we don't really care, we have a bad feeling. 10 mins to go.
