Season 37-final.jpg

Coach Mad didn't leave anything unprepared for this match. New Team's eleven and all the selected reserves arrived to the stadium at their form's and moral's peaks. On the other side, the opponents came with their reversed 4-5-1 V which Coach Mad had so many problems finding a valid counter to. In the end, NT presented themselves with their base 4-1-2-1-2.
Despite the first half being quite on par, the game focused mainly on midfiled, with frequent storming in AIR FC own half followed by few but sterile reaction from them. Only a couple of shoots from over 30mts which didn't scare at all both defense and the goalie. To be remembered 2 great saves by AIR's goalkeeper leading to successive corners which ended up in a post and in a shoot out of range.

The first real thrill for New Team came at minute 45, when a bad slide on filipovsky (team's star DMC) costed him an injury. The relative free kick shown again Hutton passing the barrier and going for the goal, negated again in corner kick by the goalkeeper. With the goal cursed, New Team went into half time with a 0-0.

COach Mad immediatly changed Filipovsky for Stakyov, the never-ending-morphing dfensive midfielder, but he didn't stop at that. Moving Nordin from AMC to AML, and changing the tired ST Love with the AMR Sangermano Magistri, willing to give up a forward to try split up AIR FC midfield on sides, giving more space to Karimi and Velardo in the middle. Choiche that immediatly paid off when at minute 47 AIR FC found themselves split open in the middle and Karimi could finally run free through, serving an inviting pass which the ace striker Oliver Hutton couldn't, and didn't miss. His goal led to the break which resulted, in the end, into dominating the midfield without giving spots to attackto the enemy. After the last change which brang in Zannella for Nordin, the triple whistle ended this conceited final which sees NEW TEAM football club achieveing the so longed cup after a hard year of efforts!

NEW TEAM WINS THE CUP!
