Season 37

[Chris Rath]

Perfect day for FC Kneipenkick

League: FC Kneipenkick - Yagiz FC 8-0 (5-0)
The 13th in table came today to our ground, with an illegal formation (3 wingers, DR,ML,AML). So Kneipenkick took it as a nice practice and gave the bench players playing time. Miklós Purt scored the first 4 goal (10,17,26;30) and Rasch (35) made it 5-0. The first 20 minutes of the 2nd half nothing happened. So Chris Rath did some subs to inspire his pub team. Clemens came in (68.) and made the 6-0 by freekick, then scored a penalty (74.) and prepared the 8-0 by Lindeborg (78.).

Champions League: FC Kneipenkick 5-0 Real R Cedi FC (3-0 half-time; 8-1 aggregate)
Coach Chris Rath instructed his players to take the match serious after a 3-1 away win in first leg. And to take care of bookings (7 players with yellow during the CL campaign ). The team listenend well and set Real R Cedi under pressure. Rasch scored after a nice combation with Kunz (15.), Clemens increased the lead by freekick (39.) and Lászlo Sándor made it 3-0, preparation once more by Kunz. The second half started slow as always, so the manager brought 7* Tonseth into the match (68.). That brought new spirit and two nice goals by Abdel All (73.) and Kunz (80.). Nice 5-0 without any yellow or injuries on both sides.

Other news:
Kneipenkick sold today youth player Christian Sen (bought for 10 tokens from academy) for 1.5 million €, no bad deal since in season 2 with money-investment one gets 1,6 million € for 25 tokens. The free slot in the squad was filled with French DC/DMC Benoit Ebondo (22 years, 19 quality). He came as a free transfer for 2 tokens (had luck there, a 31 years old DC/DMC with worse quality was later sold for 6 tokens).
Ebondo fits in the squad as a backup since one of my DMC saw already yellow in CL and my next CL opponent fields with AML, AMC and AMR a lot of offensive power.

Well.... a clean 0-2 win and we are bound for the semis.... not facing the team we expected to face however.... shouldn't make things any harder though...



And same in League.... 5 out of top 6 win.... #4 takes an unsettling draw.... we sit 7 clear of 3rd... and 8 behind the champs...

Our Draw:



I'm really suprised that sentepespor didn't get in the semi-final and GaLaTaSaRaY 1905 got 2 late goals in the away leg after losing 3-0 at home in the 1st leg but couldn't find the 3rd in the last 15 minutes.

3 of the 4 expected semi-finalists at the start of the last 16 draw are in the semi-finals.

No report yesterday, apologies.

Leagur R18 Massie Lodge FC 3 v Safa FC 1
League R19 Nemensh FC 0 v Massie Lodge FC 2
Champions League 1/4 Final First Leg Massie Lodge FC 3 Blenard FC 1
Second Leg Blenard FC 1 Massie Lodge 1

Neither Bosnia nor the French could end Massie Lodge's reign on top of the Level 8 League ladder. Now 9pts clear with only 7 gamjes remaining. Top of the table clash in the morning against Belgium team running 3rd, playing at home so victory is a must against the 4-4-2 classic formation.

Comfortably through to the CL Semis for the first time in 4 seasons. Up against an English mob in the Semis named "Shaggit & Run", so that should be an interesting tussle.

The dream of our first ever treble nows is a serious ambition now for this season. Cup Semi final tonight against a Level 6 team which should mean comfortable progression to the Final where we will probably meet a Level 10 side.

You both are top contenders for your CL, I expect difficult games (semi final tactic wise, potential final quality wise).

Mmh, old picture before todays matches. Well,update: Slavche, Kneipenkick, Leganes and Lepok reached the semis.

Kneipenkick vs Leganes should be the final, and it will be a good game to watch.

Thats very nice :P

Yes, Leganes is quality, two strong strikers, one scout, one worldclass. But he finished in his group only second behind Slavche. I will take the semi-final team very serious. Despite its low rating, Slavche has a lot of firepower. The fourth team Lepok played in my group, nasty 3-1-4-1-1 tactic.

Well, this CL is a 2 group race.

Tonight, in CL qualified to the SF, next opponent it`s a turkish little bit strong than me (quality 23 vs 24), with a 442 like the opponent in the QF. I hope to reach the Final.
In Cup we`re in the semis too, facing a higher level but in quality little weaker (23 vs 22), with a wide diamond wich allways scares me. Expecting my team to fight and play the final.
In League still unbeaten, maximum points.
Pretty good results so far(IMO), this season we`ve done only with daily tokens, team is from last season except two 5 star MC who reached Scout these days...
