Galactico FC update:
The Galacticos manager knew he will be missing two key games today due to real life commitments and so hope that the team will still perform despite his absence from the touchline.
League: The Galacticos faced a difficult team that is 5th in the league looking to gain maximum points and do the double over them. Opponent lined up a tricky 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond and again the Galacticos deployed 4-1-3N-2 to counter and again it proved like a decent counter formation as they triumphed 2-0 with goals (By the usual suspects) MC Enasoaie 51` and ST Meftouh 67' with DMC Goku getting injured right before the final whistle.
The next game is a crucial game against 4th who is a difficult opponent after a 1-1 draw earlier in the season, the Galacticos hope that home advantage will play a key part in the swing of the tie. As well as home matches against 1st and 3rd coming up thick and fast
Champions League: The Galacticos manager absolutely did not want to miss this fixture but unfortunately he did. However, the couch somehow managed to find the time between the league and CL buffer time to change team formation, personnel, restore condition and ensure full morale as well as win bonus to be best prepared for this semi-final. The opponent lined up 3W-5-2 and the Galacticos decided to go 4-5-1V style. If the manager was at the game, he would of proceeded with 3-1-4-2 but it was a risky formation to use if he was absent so decided with the 4-5-1V in the end.
The manager now looks back on the game and decided how he SHOULD have been there as the game panned out to a 1-1 away draw. Nordeus game engine decides to TROLL and injures the GOALKEEPER (WHY GK?!) Which was a position that the Galacticos will be the weakest getting a replacement for.. (Really Nordeus you serious?) OUT OF ALL POSITIONS A GK?
GK Brizuela was injured on the 19th minute and replaced by out of sorts and low moral GK Buffon who was out of form, out of morale, out of fitness and most importantly not prepared to play at a match of this magnitude. This weakness showed as the opponent scored right before half time to take the lead of the tie. The Galacticos tried to rally and get a reply with a huff and puff effort and brought out a yellow card on the opponents MC. There was a great opportunity for the Galacticos to level the tie as they got a penalty on the 79th minute and Meftouh again steps up and takes the sho..... AND MISSED ....... =.=
All hopes of a crucial away goal was lost until the 90th minute and injury time when MR Milovanovic somehow scored and preserved dignity on the scoreline and got the CRUCIAL away goal (He deserves a medal now) assisted by MC Enasoaie (Most likely a corner) and gives the Galacticos an advantage going to the second leg at home knowing a clean sheet means a route to the final.
The Galacticos manager is giving Meftouh the hairdryer treatment despite his early season scoring antics and will now change penalty kick takers again.
