    Atlético Kolkata Day 3 Report

    The CL game kicked off first, and it was a 6-0 demolition day for a 2* team. David stood out with a hattrick (from 3 FKs) and an assist to Pirlo (from a DFK) while Thiago pulled off two screamers for his brace. But Pirlo was stretched off late in the game.
    Our first of 26 league matches kicked off as a last game of the round (usually our games are the first played in the league) against a 3* team. This pic pretty much sums it up: Subbing the DMC for the Striker instantly loosened our hold on the ball, but it proved decisive. David moved back to AMC. Thiago wasn't happy with himself and his morale dropped after this game. Herrera's goal sent him to the first team for the first time tomorrow, while Thiago takes some rest. The credit definitely goes to the defence, especially Klockhov and Bava; the former made lots of tackles and clearances as a fullback, while the latter made a Herculean effort and punched the shot of the opponent out of the box (it was a live event, and I almost thought it went in). Bava also captained in absence of Pirlo and became the MOM. We're not Arsenal, so I'd like a bit more from the boys, but then we're playing a defensive formation.

    A good defence is the best offense.
