24-5-1

Since the last time I posted here my four teams played 30 games. We had to concede one match 0-1 (we were not present, played away and against a stronger team), drew five times and won all the other games. As we now have played already 7 league-games we can say that all four teams are contenders for the title.

FC Dreamhunter has a really good streak in the league and is 7-0-0 so far. We are not doing as well as expected in the CL. We lost unfortunately the first match and drew 1-1 against the weakest team in the group (in the 90th minute their counter attack was successful). Yesterday we easily beat the same team 5-0. Our AMC Rafael Pereira Marins plays with us his best season ever, scoring so far already 18 goals in all competitions combined. This is the same amount of goals like all our three strikers combined! So I hope that he will keep his top form. Today we only have one game against the weakest team in the league, so I decided to rest our best players (of course not Pereira Marins) and give our substitutes a chance. I hope this will lead to no unpleasant surprise as I won't be present during the game.

FC Sakura is two points ahead in the league, but there are three teams within three points so far. Today we play against the worst team, so again our Top 11 will be rested for the second leg of the cup. As we won the first game 3-0 we expect to advance if not anything strange happens. Our qualification for the next step in the CL seems to be secured (5 points ahead of the 2nd placed team), but we want to stay first in the group in order to avoid a strong opponent in the next round.

Berkshire Utd won all games in its league after losing its first game and we are right now 2nd because of the worse goal-difference. We face the first team today and as we are higher 3,5 points in quality I hope for another win. The CL is going well for us, the qualification for the elimination games seems to be secured. In the Cup we lost the first leg 0-1 away. We will face our Romanian opponents close to midnight - we will see if we can advance. So we are facing two important games today. To deepen our bench we signed yesterday two players (MC; MR) as two of our first team are injured right now. Both players will be back tomorrow.

Teresa FC really continues to surprise. This veteran team continues to overcome the fact that most of their daily games are scheduled within half an hour and we were lucky that injuries happened so far that we could heal them right away (or after one day). This definitely helped.The first teams in the league are very equal in quality. We are ahead because of a slightly better goal difference. Five teams are contending for the title. Today we face the fifth placed squad and if we stay victorious Teresa would be already 9 points ahead of the fifth place which would make me feel really comfortable. Today's Cup-Match will be interesting - we won away 1-0 against a better team and maybe we can surprise them again at home and advance. Four victories in the CL make us also comfortable there. My hope is that we will not suffer injuries...
