Day 21 - Palace Terriers Champions League report.

Palace Terriers went into their Champions League Quarter-Final with five player and two positional changes from the squad that played three hours previously in the League. With a two goal advantage from the home 1st Leg, they relied on a defensive 4-5-1V formation against a team with a slight overall quality inferiority. Striker Samir Gross was moved to his alternate position on the left-wing and new signing striker Kamel Hamlili put in as lone forward, and both scored in a 2-0 win that takes them through to the Semi-Finals 4-0 on aggregate. Again, both MCs get yellow cards, the one for Zoltan Nagy means he misses the Semi-Final 1st Leg match.

Day 22 - Palace teams report - one and final for today...

Overnight, the draw for the Semi-Finals for Palace Terriers' Championship League were revealed:



Both League matches kicked off early today.

Palace Casuals were off first, and made heavy weather of defeating the 13th placed team at home. ST/AML Andre Faisca, playing in his alternate position on the left-wing, scored twice in the last 10 minutes to complete the win and his own hat-trick - the first in the League by a Casuals player for quite a few seasons...



Palace Terriers followed soon after, and continued the theme by containing the forward line of their 9th place opponents and meeting stiffer than expected resistance from the relatively poor-Q defence. Striker Samir Gross scored the only goal of the match.



With the Palace Terriers' central midfield being showered by yellow cards in the Championship League Quarter-Finals, two out of the four MCs are suspended for the 1st Leg of the Semi-Final - the Terriers Management took a look in the Transfer Market and ended up, after a protracted fight, with this NordGen MC for 5T/$19.1M. The other bidder was a Manager who I have come up against in the TM several times this season, with a 50% success rate. He popped in a Friend request during the auction (presumably hoping to distract me from the bidding). At the end of the auction I accepted the request - the Token fund can take only a limited number of these heavy auctions and hopefully, as a friend he won't compete against me...

Cup 1/2 final match 1

The first step to the final is maked. We played a good game, but the keeper from the oppenent played good. Oppenent got in the 26' a red card after the second yellow.

47' Sanchez
87' Dokter assist Giroud

We did what now. Hiding the ball and loosing 0-3 does not go hand in hand Ass manager.







So pretty much out of the cup now and we could have beaten the two other teams

Spent so much time hiding the ball, no time to do what they should do with it...

Atlético Kolkata Day 22 and 23 Report

I definitely won't risk putting even £375k bonus in league, I'm desperate for a title and waiting for a slip up by the leader. I fear that no bonus could had affected me very bad, as learned it in my 5-1 rout of the bottom placed tanker. Only one win so far for him and quite success he is, but he scored first. But leftback Girault equalised in 34'. Andrew John then scores three on the trot, all screamers, from a distance unthinkable. The shadow striker ability finally pays off in 39', 55', 73'. Prananda got injured, replaced by Steer who assisted in the 73'. And just before wrapping it up, Claudio converted a penalty.

I believe Atlético Kolkata can once again win the CL as we progressed after drawing 2-2 away and winning 5-4 agg.
Bircan put us ahead in 2'. But they put up a shock on our face, quickly coming back and tying the agg on 27' and 55'. We would've dropped on away goals, so Guerro, who had a bad day, came back for Saba. Finally, the super sub scores, and the super corner specialist assists in the 84', thereby tying the away goals and leading us on agg, a lead which we held till the end.

Today, a 3-1 away. As earlier we conceded early in the 4'. Some hopes after getting a penalty, but the keeper saved it. Bircan, my only AMR, got injured. Not another troll, please. AML Jenson, however, striked in 27', right after the keeper saved his first attempt. John (not a AMR) replaces Bircan, and surprisingly scored in 37' assisted by Bezares. Still wasn't happy with the 1-goal lead which can easily collapse. So, with Saba coming for Guerro, and the team played hexagon and more attacking orders. In the 73', Saba relieved off all the pressure from a stunning free kick. This time a defensive approach, MOM Bezares out for Philip Lahm, John came to AMC and we switched to defensive orders. I was not happy with the defence at all today. Very shaky. But a win is a win; we can't afford to even draw.
