League Round 26 - Ramirez Enjoys Unbeaten Finish

July Fourth 7-0 lolli tandoii
Aaron Ramirez Testimonial

July Fourth 3N-4-1-2 first half, hex second half, lolli tandoii asymmetrical 4-5-1 V then 60 mins 4-1-3N-2

Today was a big day for the club and for one special player that has now spent no less than 10 seasons at July Fourth and our current longest serving player at the club, That player is Aaron Ramirez. We allowed him to captain the team once again. (He was captain for a couple of seasons in his prime) and also placed him on penalty duties should we get one so he can have a chance of scoring a goal as well, But there was no penalty, but something else more remarkable happened, Petersen took the lead for us just after 30 minutes, Then Watson followed up shortly after before Papaleo made it 3-0 before HT, Then after HT, Pietropaolo suddenly exploded back into "Beast Mode" and fired in a wonderful hatrick, Firstly a solo move, then a header from a Petersen corner and a tap-in provided by Papaleo, Papaleo then finished the game off with a goal in the 90th minute after Pietropaolo played him onside.

Goals: Petersen (31) Watson (38) Papaleo (45,90) Pietropaolo (56,64,81 HAT) MOTM: Pietropaolo.

At the end of the match Pietropaolo was handed the match ball from the referee as you would do when you score a hatrick and he immediately gifted the ball to Ramirez and told him "This is for you!, After all it's your special day being your testimonial and you can also remember my great performance today as I put in 100% to ensure that you get a fabulous game." Not only that... The final days league presentation was made and Ramirez being the captain of the day was allowed to take the honours in leading the celebrations in winning another league title while remaining unbeaten in the league once again. July Fourth complete their 11th unbeaten league season and finish the league season 50 games unbeaten and have only lost once in 136 league games, 2-1 away against les guerriers.

Aaron Ramirez: 10 Seasons, 343 Appearances, 18 Goals, 1 Assist, 23 MOTM
Honours: 10 League Titles 8 Champions League Titles 3 Cup Titles
Young Player Of The Season: Seasons 15,16. Player Of The Season: Season 16.

Aaron Ramirez is one of July Fourth's greatest defenders of all time, He was bought from the Nordeus Gens back at the start of S15/L15, Originally bought as a 'reserve' Ramirez soon found himself putting in amazing performances that won him an first team place and was later on developed to become our first ever player to have a triple role+SA covering all of the defensive line, Ramirez won POTS and YPOTS in the second season at the club, establishing himself as a first choice for many seasons, Ramirez spent a total of 5 seasons at 8*. He always played to the highest standards and never made too many mistakes and did what was 'right' for July Fourth, he even got sent off in 2 CL Finals but July Fourth still won those finals, one of those fouls perhaps prevented a certain equaliser in a game we won 1-0, the other we lead 4-0 and made no difference to that particular outcome, But even still he was a defender you could rely on to give you a good game most of the time. As time goes by, He is going to decline like any other player out there and tomorrow he will only be a 5* defender and will be 28 years old, We felt after 10 long seasons it was the correct time to hand out his testimonial, whilst he still had some quality left in him, With some possible dead rubber matches next season, he will soon play his 350th game for July Fourth and may well get to 200 league appearances as well as 100 CL appearances.

We need a win tonight to make champions league qualification for next season, the team in 5th place have done their job, we play 2nd from bottom and the other team who can stop us play the bottom team so a win is needed of course if we both lose we can still make it.
