Some prologue first.
This thread it’s about my third team, RINOKEROS, which I started playing with other fb friends in a 35T league. After the third season, we shattered and never played in the same league again. I moved a little, then stopped for 2-3 seasons and then decided to go for the treble and maybe stop it there.
The first day of the new season, I ‘m checking my CH.L. group opponents as the opposite group too so after that I said I ‘m ok. 2 teams of the group was good but little weaker than my team and the 4th team was very weak (from those leagues, you know). I ‘m in group B.
After that, I went to examine the opponents of my Cup.
After the first round of CH.L. group games, I checked all the 1st-2nd position teams of the groups. My team finished 1st of the B group, with 3 victories.
Then I realized that in group D there is a beast with a 9* (Atletico Madrid) players.

Checking the CH.L. qualification program, I could see that he ‘ll be my next oppo after playing with the 2nd team of group A.
That means I ‘m out of CH.L. in final 8 K.O. round as it is impossible to win him (at least in two games round).
But if I could get the 2nd position of the group, then I could meet him only in the final.

Finishing in the 2nd position of the group, meaning that I would play with some 1st position opponents like those teams but at least with them, I ‘ll have some good chances. With the T buyer not once.

So, from that point, I started some “cooking” with my games. I lost the two next games from the 2nd and the 3rd team (but I had to be careful with the goal difference) , I won the last game and finally got the 2nd position.

The funny thing was that I played with the 1st team of the group, in the Cup too.
Mihu has a 5* team and he is an active manager.
There, the target was clear.

So, after that, I ‘m playing in the semifinals while the 1st of my group, Mihu is out with a 17-0 agg.

Now, I have to fight for the final. Even if I past and there it’s only one game and not two as the K.O. rounds, I don’t believe I have any chance for winning (even if I have nine 6*players) but at least I won one Cup trophy - maybe bronze maybe silver.
