And ..................................... we are of to a rocky start. I faced an opponent in the league with 25% less quality. No worries Roy, we got this. Let our newbies prove themselves. Newbies? Did we say newbies? Did I manage to buy a player from the transfer market??? Hahahahahahaha, no silly of course not. Unless you want to pay over 40 tokens for an 18yr old player? Euhrrrrr, no I guess not. But you said newbies right? Yeah we managed to buy 2 DC from negotiations. Oh wow nice. Even a 21 yr old with living wall SA and enough experience. Ok, lets see how they do.

Game starts and not much is happening. One shot from the advisary but my goalie saves. No problem. The striker of the other team breaks through. My living wall is going to block him. Nice tackle on the ball. Wow I am impressed. Wait, why is the referee whistling? Noooooooooo, ref, direct block on the ball. Oh my god. The referee looks decisive and pulls out a red card and a penalty. Where is the video referee when you need him. Lets hope Edwin van de Sar who is almost 7 stars can stop his just 5 star penalty expert. Nope 1-0 for him.

I am still blinking with my eyes as his next 2 shots also hit the target. So that is 4 shots with 1 saved and the score is 3-0. Aiaiai. High efficiency bug back in play. Somehow I am still having 65% possession and I get a few shots in. Of course no saves but no score also. Only in the last 30 minutes my last 2 shots hit the target. In the last minute my AML is totally free for the goal and he shoots and ......... the ball is wide. End score 3-2. I win almost in every aspect but the assistant manager tells me how the advisary was stronger. Lol, sure.

Anyway, rocky start, so I have to increase my efforts after last seasons treble.
