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.
