Season 89 Are you ready?

[Temidayo_]

Having a bit of a dip. I've lost 4 of my last 5 games. 2 in the league, Vs both rivals for the league title [7! points behind the leader now], the last game of the CL [had already won the group on MD5 with 15 points], and the first leg of the cup QF. Lost that FL 4-3 at home. Means I need a 2-0 win away from home to qualify. A damn big challenge, this is.

Something funny about my 4 losses are the score lines: two 1-0, and 4-3 losses. I leaked 8 goals in 2 games. Insane.

Got the goals and qualified. Scored super early. Had 13 of 19 (68%) shots on target. Immense. Into the cup semifinals for the first ever time.

Was going to play my Gala XI (my best 11 players,) irrespective of what competitions they normally play in. I have two diluted XIs you see, one for the league games, and another XI for cup games. Today, playing a game I needed to win by 2 goals, I was going to play my best 11 players and continue switching the formation and style of play to fit the events of the game. Then I changed my mind and decided to play a 73% AML|AMC|AMR in CM. Why? He has a 126% shooting. Weak in aggressiveness and strength he might be, but I figured my team would need someone capable of rifling the ball in from midfield. And then how many times do CM have all the space in the world at the edge of the box but choose to pass to an attacker who's offside?

Kindda paid of I think, even if his goal was headed in from a CK. He probably contributed to the 13 shots on target. His CM partner grabbed the brace.

I have a fine chance of making the cup final BTW. My opponent is a 73% team who, although, lead their division, have lost 3 league games.

If I scale through the semifinals this season, then I would be in the Cup finals for the first time in 18months with main team.

Desert Rats FC played their 2nd Leg Cup Quarter-Final match at home, and it was a return to normality, and a bit of restoration of the 'fortress' mentality at the Desert Rats FC Stadium (aka the 'Rathaus'). The opposition came attacking, trying to get a few goals back after the 9-3 caning they got at their place in the 1st Leg, but the Rats were primed to defend, and defend they did. WIth the three first-choice forward players revelling in the counter-attack, the visitors didn't have it all their way. After 25 minutes, striker Emanuele Imbimbo managed to create himself a bit of space, and with a sight at goal he let rip, and the ball shot past the visitors' 'keeper to open the scoring. After the break, right-winger Patrick Tillmanns got into the action by mesmerising two defenders with a bit of zig-zag running and eventually he ran between them and shot just inside the post to increase the lead. With 16 minutes to go, left-winger Kostadin Marinov completed the set by launching a 35-yard rocket that left the 'keeper standing. The 3-0 win means that Desert Rats progress to the Semi-Finals 12-3 on aggregate. To compound central defender Filip Andersson's Bad Day, he picked up an injury late on to add to his one match suspension for his sending-off in the League match earlier.

Ball stopped before it crossed the line and decided to take another direction... I think, it made a 180 degree turn...


Maybe... Nordeus gives us an information about the correlation of the stats...

F.E. missed save are blocked by player
Tackles are pressure- and tackling style
Why you have 16 shot, but only a single one on target...

but I think, this will be only a dream.

Logging on early this morning, the Management had a brief visit to the transfer market and this player had failed to gather any interest. 1T? it'd be rude not to...



Desert Rats FC played their final match in the first half of the league season at home to 4th place, and were pegged back twice before the defence settled itself down and the goal machine got into action. On 14 minutes, Patrick Tillmanns netted a free-kick after an opposition infringement in the edge of the box, and that looked like it until the visitors equalised within sight of half-time. After the break, wingers Tillmanns and Kostadin Marinov combined to give the former his second goal of the match, but the opposition came back again within 10 minutes to make the match all square again. The wingers executed a carbon copy of the previous goal to net Tillmanns his hat-trick and put the hosts back in front, and Marinov repeated the assist a few minutes later, only it was striker Emanuele Imbimbo that got onto the end of the cross to give the Rats some degree of comfort. After a triple substitution, replacement right-back Rodrigo Giminez took advantage of a visitors sloppy pass by taking the ball off the intended recipient and running through the defence to slam the ball home for the final goal in a 5-2 win.

At the mid-point in the League season, it looks like a three-team race for the honours...
