Season 38

[PricopGeorgeCătălin]

Well our cup game has been played on the field of Commando. We lost the first round 3 - 2.
As we still have to play our home game this isn't such a bad situation.

Commando opened the score in minute 2 allready. In minute 32 Pepp scored a nice goal running through the defence.
Just before half time Commando made the score 2 - 1. But in the 70th minute Pepp scored our second goal. It was looking to be a draw but in the 81th minute Commande set the score to 3 - 2.

With a 50-50 ball possesion we didn't create as much chances as Commando. They got 18 shot off target to our 12 and 9 shots on target to our 5.
For the next round we will have to see if he changes his formation. Every cup game so far he has played a different formation.
Lets push it to the max to kick him out of the cup.

Is good that you scored 2 goals away

Is good that you scored 2 goals away

I know it's good but would have liked a win more.

I know it's good but would have liked a win more.

A draw or a win of course it will be better then a lose but still is a good advantag to have 2 goals scored away.

Battle Royale Cup Qualifying Round 1st Leg: Harrogate Town 2-1 Blue Army
(Lvl3 Q33.0) (Lvl5 Q29.2)

Goals: Musa (21'), Uzumaki (56'), Norris (61')

Harrogate Town Edge 1st leg in Battle Royale Cup.

Tonights Cup match saw Harrogate Town welcome the Higher leveled Blue Army to the CNG Stadium for this 1st leg of the cup. We saw a well fought game. It started of with the home team being kept on the back foot as Blue Army kept pushing hard. In the 6th minute Blue Army had Shaqiri booked for a foul on Blackstone in midfield. The breakthrough came on 21' when Musa latched on to a cross from hauser to beat De Gea. It looked like Harrogate may have a hard time in the game. In the 41st minute Hatake was booked for a foul just outside the box. Musa took it and forced a brilliant save from De Gea, who was having a great game with a few top drawer saves already.
Half-Time came and went with Winder making 2 changes to his team. Taking off Bale and Giel for Cleverley and Hirwan repectively. With a change of formation to a much narrower system now a 4-1-3N-2 instead of a 4-5-1V Harrogate started to control the game playing through the middle as ther opposition were in a 4-1-2W-1-2. This payed off as in the 56th minute Naruto Uzumaki hit a speculative fierce shot from 30 yards out that flew in to the top corner. The keeper had no chance. Then 5 minutes later Chuck Norris won the ball just inside his own half and started to run up field. he skipped past one, clever little step over and then nutmegged the defender. He took a quick look as the keeper was rushing out and with a clever little dink over the keeper it was 2-1. The crowd were going wild and singing chants about Norris. In a bad note Assoumani the battling Defender and captain was injured so on came Phil Jones for the last 10 minutes. That was it for the game.

After the game David Winder answered the question about how serious the injury to the captain was.

David Winder: Luckily for us it isn't as bad as it looked. He will be back for the next game.

Q: So how do you feel your chances are for getting through?
A: I feel we have a good chance and we will just have to be careful and not get careless. I think we may just make it through.

Q: Naruto Uzumaki is playing out of his skin lately. Whats the secret to his game?
A: I feel he is just enjoying his game and playing without a care in the world. If he keeps it up he could easily be the new star midfielder but it will be a battle with Chuck for that honour. On a side note I will be calling a press conference in about an hour with some exciting news for the fans.


Oh what could David Winder have in store for us? Will it be a new signing? Will it be some new and upcoming project? We will have to wait and see. Look forward to the press conference later.

Cup update: FC Kneipenkick 1-1 Menashe 60 (1-1 ht)
Today FCK faces an Israelian team, a massive token spender (even more than FCK ). Menashe started with a 4-1-2-1-2, FCK with a 4-1-4-1. Igor Ambrosio could score the lead after only 3 minute after a nice pass by Kunz. The other manager came online late, but reacted instantly. Since his player were trained for 2 or 3 positions he could change his tactics without substitutions.
He switched to a wing based system, FCK covered the wing with blue arrows, but the match engine decided to give the away team an advantage. Menashes players used it very good and scored the 1-1 after 20 minutes. The rest of the match was a tactical battle, where Menashe's superior first 11 quality gave the away team a plus of chances. But the result stayed 1-1. So first non-win this season, but it was against a good team with a good manager. The returning leg will become difficult.
