FC Kneipenkick league update: Enes FC (27.9) 2-4 FC Kneipenkick (39.5)
After our great CL semis earlier today we travelled to Turkey and met Enes FC (8th in table), who got a 1-2 away win at our home ground two weeks ago. Enes started with 3N-1-3W-1-2, FCK with 3W-5-1 V-sytle and had the better start: Upton (7.) and Decker (12.) brought FCK in front, but after a nasty foul Upton got injured (hamstring strain grade 3 - 10 days off , we will use red packs here). Pourhaji (26.) replaced Upton ST for ST, but the match turned, Enes made the 1-2 (29.). Two minutes later Kunz got fouled in the penalty are, Decker converted the penalty, 1-3 (31.). After the half-time break Enes came close to 2-3 (55.), but Pourhaji (72.) made it finally 2-4, an important win for Kneipenkick.

We lead the table now by 6 points and welcome tomorrow "redzone" from Romania, the second in the table.

Transfer news:
On the transfer market we got a nice 7 token + money negotiation offer for Farshad Fathi (5*, 20 years, 39 quality, no SA). Since he is only a back-up, we accepted the offer and replaced Fathi by Arthur Larin (4*, 23 years, 34 quality, no SA). Larin will probably not have a long career at FCK, but we need back-ups.

CL news:
In the other semi-final there was a big upset. Levy FC (32.8) lost at home vs. Real Maranese (27.5) due to an early red card and an inactive Levy manager, who could not field a 3rd defender. So it is a David (27.5) vs. Goliath (FCK 39.5) setup in the final.

Yey, I also won the second leg in CL semifinals, so I'm in both Cup and CL finals. Problem is I wont win CL, his Q38.3 will be too much for my 31.2 squad :/

But of course I will try, maybe the game engine will screw up and let me win If I lose i will try to break at least some legs with hard tackling


In league i have some important matches today and tomorrow against the 6th and the 4th, most likely I will have to win both to make sure I will be 3rd at the end of the season

Next season I will invest into some good players to make sure to win league! I just hope I wont have a crazy Token buyer in my league^^


edit:
I just checked my semi active second account: I'm in CL finals there too, after a 1-1 at home I managed to reach a 2-2 away (with 40% possession, non rested players (league match an hour before the CL match and no changes in lineup) and an injured player in minute 11, with no auto substitute )
League also looks good there, I'm 3p ahead with a better goal difference)

This is it.

Semi-Final 2nd Leg at home against bordomavi, 1st leg ended 1-1 so everything here to play for, how much can my nerves take here.

[July Fourth]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL 2ND LEG

July Fourth 5-0 bordomavi

July Fourth win 6-1 on aggregate
July Fourth 108.6 3N-1-4-2 1st half, 3N-1-3W-1-2 2nd half - bordomavi 99.5 4-1-3W-2

There was some pre-match tension from us with only coming out of a difficult first leg that ended 1-1 and bordomavi named an unchanged team for the 2nd leg and with a good think of tactics it turned out that I got things right after dicing between 3N-1-4-2 and 3N-5-2 V... And straight away Michu broke clear with the ball and passed it to Papaleo to get us infront on the night, on 14 minutes a Ryazanov miss-timed challenge gave us a free-kick which Mensah hit to perfection over the wall and past the keeper to double our lead, a minute later and Michu spotted Papaleo's run onto goal and passed it immediately and Papaleo curled it past the keeper to give us a 3-0 lead and ease our nerves, bordomavi started to come into the game after this but were not as good as they were on Wednesday night's draw and Seaman saved an excellent Cope free-kick and Adams and Ramirez blocked a couple of Panescu shots.

In the second half we made changes bringing off Norris to save him since a yellow tonight would see him suspended and also we brought off Michu for Zidane and Adams for Novotny, we again took full control again with a solo run form Papaleo that earned a wonderful hatrick after shooting into the roof of the net and Miku got our 5th of the night after finding the top corner, bordomavi pressed for a consolation but they were mentally drained at this point and we held on for a clean sheet and we have the final to look for on friday either between WoonY United or beta united. We only had 11% bonus possession for this game since the beta united supported bordomavi for this match but we were still too good in the end. The match ball belongs to Papaleo for a wonderful hatrick.

Goals: Papaleo (2,15,67 HAT) Mensah (14) Miku (79) MOTM: Papaleo.

In a short post-game interview he said, "I think we've played quite good football, scored 4 goals and defended really well at the same time and created a lot of chances to score as well. If we can take that into the finals then we've got a really good chance to win it as well" He continued and added that, “You know, we are all eager to win, and we have probably one of the best players at this level.

Basicly won the league today and went through to the final in the CL.

Result Just In...

WoonY United 2-4 beta united (Agg 3-5)

July Fourth will play Turkish team beta united after they put in a fine performance to win well away in the second leg and deserved to qualify to meet us in the final. Like GALATASARAY last season, we expect a good challenge from our opponents in the final and they have the potential to try and make things difficult for us and as we know we will need to be on our game to win in the final.
