Still in the running for a quad. Semis of CL and Cup final scheduled for the week ahead. League is already guaranteed. Surprisingly all teams that I once feared with well trained white skills but low greys have all been eliminated from both competitions by lesser and more balanced teams. Now being the team with the stronger whites and lower greys, I might face the same fate. I wonder what is the safety level for greys in order not to be penalised if there is such a thing.
Nouvion FC got through to the Champions League Semi-Finals yesterday, but it took 49 minutes to get themselves into the match. Defending a 1-0 lead from the home Leg, their opponents equalised the aggregate four minutes before the break, but left-winger David Dorizon only took four minutes after the restart to restore the lead. Two goals from right-winger Gary Sampson put the tie beyond reach, and Nouvion ran out 3-1 winners on the day, 4-1 on aggregate.
The 1st v 2nd League match in the evening didn't go according to plan. The visitors quickly rattled up a 3-0 lead, and nothing the Nouvion Management did was effective in countering their play. Central defender Manuel Vildoso pulled a goal back before half-time, and the home side had more of the play afterwards, but a further goal for the opponents put the seal on a first home defeat in the League for Nouvion FC.
Today's League match was the team's chance to get themselves back on track, a visit to the basement club the ideal follow-up to yesterday's fiasco. David Dorizon flourished, netting four times, two either side of a Gary Sampson Penalty and another corner cameo from Chris Mann (header) and Celio Pita (set-piece).
Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...

2:2 against Zak FC. Missed some support there and this is second time I am playing him. He reshedule both games and that's why (I guess), but his asso friends where ready to support him. I started playing 4-1-2-3 with offensive wingers that actually are playing like MC's. I know it is dumb, but actally works for few last games and it's good cause I am playing low pressing, condition is about 80% after game. First I thought that it's good if my team have less possesion, now I think I need more.
