Whatever you see, be it the report (statistics, ratings and so on) or the highlights are made to happen by the game; in other words what you see is what the game wants you to see or what it wants you to believe what happened. There might also be tricks in there to fool you.
Don't believe things such as 'they got lucky' or whatever. The game made the other team win (for whatever reasons), and yet it tells you they got lucky? There is no 'luck' in there. Do you think some users have been winning back to back titles (and in some cases, back to back doubles or trebles) due to luck? If so, then given the fact they are so 'lucky' they should be enjoying life in this world with all the facilities and so on rather than being addicted to top eleven; they should be living in the way they have always dreamt about, but this is not likely to be the case, is it?
By the way, there are many posts in this forum showing how accurate the assistant manager is in what he 'says'.
