Champions league preview - Perfect Tactics (47.5) vs Kabol FC (41.5)

This match shows 2 teams on form go head to head in this CL semi-final. Perfect Tactics better off with a 6 point quality average but this will be no easy tie as Kabol FC have a semi-scouted team. Early team news is that Kabol has changed their formation yet again and we are currently sitting on an asymmetrical formation to be changed in-play. They could be playing a 4-1-3-2, 4-1-2-1-2 ND or 4-2-3-1, either way we may opt for the 4-5-1 v, WM or my secret formation depending on the formation.

No injury worries for Perfect Tactics although we do have 6 players sitting on yellow cards. One main change for Perfect Tactics is Nascimento comes in for Suarez.

Match odds:
Perfect Tactics: 3/10, Draw 4/1 Kabol FC 6/1

Small update on the last days. We got kicked out the CL for some odd reason.



By the way the season is going I got a feeling I might even loose #1 in the league on the last day or so.

League, Matchday 21

New Team (1st, Q32, 4-3-2W-1/3-3-2W-2 2nd half) VS Basgaza (4th, Q23,5 , 3-1-4-2)



A very important match for us as we wanted to stay put at first place alone. WIth the tiny margin's victory of the 3rd place (1-0) and Bakuretsu to play later, we had to win this first of two last hard matches.
Things didn't start really smooth for New Team as their manager had a baptism to attend and was late to the start, forgettin even to leave the team organized on a 4-1-2-1-2 while leaving anyway a decent formation on the 4-5-1 V. As Coach Mad arrived New Team was already dominating the ball possession (65%) and there were already more than three missed chanches on our side. At minute 20 Coach Mad sends in Karimi (MC) taking out the Russian DMC Goryushkin, and the pressure raises more; after another three or four occasin wasted with wide shoots or good blocks by the keeper, Hutton receives in the area and goes for it scoring the so awaited 1-0 (43'), ending the first half with Bagsaza unable to score even one tiny coloured action.
The seconf half opens ferociously with New Team initially raising the possession to 70% and playing fully in the opponent's half. Basgaza on the other side seems to have instructed their players to hard tackle on coach Mad's boys: from 45' to 49' Callaghan fails 3 shoots on free kicks towards the goal. Another hard tackling injures Denver who has to make space for Lenders, settling the formation to 3-3-2W-2;
And on a following corner kick Lenders himself gets blockedright before the tap in, while the ball reaches Tom Becker who from 25 meters seals the 2-0 with a missile shoot (50').
COach Mad let Everett (DL) warm up to go for a more covered 4-2-2-2 at this point, but even before the refree could call the sub (idiotic 13 minute lag into game engine) Basgaza actually manages to make their second and third (and will be the only ones) actions towards New Team's half, and guess what, score 2 goals in 3 minutes, Tying (63', 65'). The hard tackling festival continues on as we approach to the end with a bitter taste incoming in mouth, when Oliver Hutton shoots a perfect free kick under the seven and only the keeper says no. But the ladder can't do **** about the following corner when New Team's captain jumps higher than anyone and heads in the definitive 3-2 (80'). Frustrated, Basgaza keep motivating his players on hard taclking and as result Roche makes a late tackle on the match's end injuring Diamond too and getting the red card (88').

Statistics

Scorers: O.Hutton, T,Becker, Veld, Sorlje, O.Hutton.
MoM: Oliver Hutton (9), New Team FC.
Injuries: Bob Denver, New Team, 2 days; Paul Diamond, New Team, 5 days.

-Oliver Hutton scores New Team's 100th goal in the league, reaching the season toal of 30 matches played, 34 goals, 24 assists and 11 MoM.

We were lucky to have still 15 or so red packs which healed Denver, who has just completed his Aerial Defender SA. We could then buy just 10 Reds to fully heal DIamond for the upcoming CL semifinal.

Result Just In...

Hurray FC 0-2 GALATASARAY... GALATASARAY dominate the game with having far more chances on goal against Hurray FC but only managed to put just 2 away but it is enough for me to say that we are going to play against GALATASARAY in the final which will undoubtably give me a very tough test against an active manager that boasts a semi scouted team. He didn't play with the 4-1-3W-2 and started with 4-4-2, When he went 2-0 up in the 2nd half he switched from 4-4-2 to 4-1-4-1... so it looks like he maybe a player that may look for a counter formation...

Champions League SF, 1st leg - Perfect Tactics (47.5) 4-1 Kabol FC (41.5)
Perfect Tactics: 4-3N-2-1 (3-1-4-2), Kabol FC: 5-3-2 (4-1-2-1-2)

This was a quite frustrating game from us in the first half as we failed to keep a clean sheet and Kabol FC also had FOUR SUPPORTERS giving the away team a 3% possession bonus. We had to come from behind to prevent an uphill task in the 2nd leg but it looks like we can take the foot off the pedal. They had a defensive set up to their team and we started with out 4-3-2-1 formation, some early pressure gave Kabol FC a corner and Langket's cross was met by Messi who gave Kabol FC a shock 1-0 lead. We were not really getting into the game, the advantage bar was in Kabol FC's favour and we needed to do something. Fabregas with some nice skill got him 1 vs 1 with the goalkeeper and he put it away for the equaliser.

Into the 2nd half we needed some extra coverage on the flanks while having a 2nd striker. We played Mata and Petersen slightly OOP in ML and MR while we converted to a 3-1-4-2 formation. This was more like it, the advantage bar was in our favour and we were dominating the game. Fabregas put us 2-1 ahead from a corner kick before Suarez got through on goal and squaring it for Nascimento who couldn't miss in front of an open goal, that made it 3-1 to us. A late flurry of chances for Perfect Tactics and we were soon 4-1 up, Norris heading in a Petersen corner.

Goals: Messi (11'), Fabregas (26', 68'), Nascimento (76'), Norris (83')
MOTM: Petersen

You know something... It's just strange where 3 of the supporters came from... I've watched Kabol FC's matches and never seen any support but for some reason they just appeared in my game LOL. Also... Sparta Akcaya did a SimyFC and supported our opponents.
