Yesterday I played in cup finals as it happens with better player, He was 38,2 star and lvl 5 me 37 and 4 lvl. He played 4-3-1-2, (DR DC DC DL, MC MC MC, AMC, ST,ST) I chose 4-1-5, V mode to counter him, because his formation has no wings. My strategy(defensive,zonal marking,hard tackle,mix passes, wings play) Ok, so match started, unfortunately after 2 minutes he scored... I tried to 1:1, I thought, ok boys, no problem we can still win it! even though my team was weaker, I had hope to won this match, my team fight like David and Goliath, there were moments, when my boys dominate and get many chanses to score! I got
22 to
14 shoots,
14 Shoot TOWARDS GOAL! Unfortunately opponent goalie was phenomenal! made 5 saves! mine only 1.
next blow has come in 58 min or someting, but I didn't give up! Put red arrows on mine DL DMC DR, finaly after holy goalies parades, I scored in 69 min...
Possesion ball was
50%-49% so not bad, and mine wings, def, mc, play well, only my goalie a bit worse but had same stats like opponent. Both have no special skills, mine 1.90 m his 1.80. So, continue, to the end my team fight and got many chanse to change result but had no lucky... In the end, it seems to me that the result is not the end of the maps is what was happening on the pitch. It reminds me memorable final 2011/12 Champions League - Chelsea vs Bayern, Bayern was better, they fight with passion and should win. Now am sad like bayern players. The ball is sometimes unfair. I lost 2:1.
