Balkan Boyz - Matchday 3 (Sz.4 - lvl4)

LEAGUE & CL : ROUND 1




HEADLINE: Nemanja Vidić and Hasan Salihamidžić leads Balkan Boyz to two openings wins!

Well folks, what to say? This is day we were waiting for since saturday morning; The League & CL kick-offs!

We started our first league game away and played quite well, controlling the game from the start to the end with a ball possession of 66%. We decided to go for the 4-5-1 V formation for the first time, and I was a little bit nervous because I wasn't sure if it was the right choice or not. But as the game went on and the goals started to pour in, there were no dilemma about it! Our newly signed scouts, Ivica Olić and Hasan Salihamidžić who played as AMR resp. AML did a great job forward, and Nemanja Vidić and Sead Hajrović managed to clear all dangerous opportunities and therefore a clean sheet. This win puts us at the top of the league table, in front of our biggest rivals: FC Kula and Beauteville FC. Next league game will be played tomorrow, and our opposition is a Spanish team. The game will be played at home at 14.31CET.


In our second game we faced a quite defensive and discipline German team, FC Nightmare. We decided to stick to the 4-5-1 V formation as in the first game, despite the fact that he played a 4-4-2 diamond formation. Anyway, we managed to break through his defence in the 43rd minute and score a goal before the halftime. In the second half our newly signed scout, Ivica Olić got injured and replaced by Luka Modrić. And as the game drew to a close, I started to lose my patient. I decided to make a substitution in the midfield and push forward. This genius move seemed to be the right one and the goals started to pour in one by one. At the end we managed to win quite big and the win puts us in front of group F. Next CL game will be played on Thursday, and our opposition is a Thai team. The game will be played away, starting at 17.40CET.
