Season 40

[July Fourth]

Thursday. Day 26.

LEAGUE: Match 24. LONDON CITY (74.6) v OLYMPIAKOS (61.1)

Result: LONDON 4-1 OLYMPIAKOS
Goals: Salamanca 3, Yashin 26, Yashin 34, Yashin 41, Yashin 87
M.o.M: Oleg Yashin

City came from behind to beat our lowly opponents. It didn't start well, when Daniel Salamanca scored after a couple of minutes for Olympiakos. This was a wake-up call for us, and Oleg Yashin led the team to a great come from behind win. Yashin completed a fifteen minute hat-trick before the halftime break, and then added a fourth in the closing minutes. Bjorn Lanwer was unfortunately injured in the second half. The win puts us equal top after Alcudia's dramatic draw this evening.

OTHER LEAGUE RESULTS:
Shileno 7-1 Tongfang, Lalas 1-1 Phetchana, Kukula 0-3 Minh, Yakuza 0-3 Danis, Alcudia 3-3 Real, Jeleznik 4-0 Legends.

Just seen your league table and its anyone of 3 teams can still claim the title, will be interesting to see if you can snatch it away from alcudia should they make a mistake.

My last 2 matches are against Lestyn's Legends & Jeleznik. It's going down to the wire, because Alcudia play Minh Chi on the last day.

A little memento to who tends to think that T buyers like me, Ljep, Dv8 and July have alwais easy go in our seasons, here's the Cup Final New Team was eliminated in the second stage this year:



We have to add to those two teams (Alex FC being even lv4) the Quwaitian one who got us by a hair's breath which is Q55 aswell. To be totally honest, Alex didn't have much of a chanche given his level. His players are almost all Q59 while on the other side William Asset topped the max rating possible for his level having most of his main 11 on Q64.

Final result: Alex FC 2 - 7 William Asset

What we got here... 9* first XI... These teams would punch their weight alongside Kashiwa Washi. I'm glad I don't have to compete against guys like these otherwise I'd lose.

Well... You've still got every chance, Just need to win your games really, thats all you can do.

[Raykco]

If I can win my last two matches, a draw in that last game between the other two, would hand me the title.

Great effort, winning the cup as an extreme power-trainer is really difficult, because you really face the best, but you have beaten the best.

Thanks! Yes, what seemed to be a "mission impossible task" become a "possible" one.... I didn't "expect" to win, especially not against Dynamo SWAG who is the "very best of the best" on my server. No one has beaten him in a final or managed to get him eliminated from a "big tournament" (like CL or CUP).... But when RSCA Anderlecht beat him in the semifinal (2nd leg) I saw my opportunity - go all in with the 3W-1-2N-2W-2 formation and hope it works (as it did for RSCA)!

great job!

I'm interested in how the match went and about the possession/pressure stats. Was it balanced or you overwhelmed him? The wide diamond is similar to the module i'll face in CL so might be useful to know.

Thanks!

In possesion: 47% vs 53% and in attempts/shots on target: 11/11 vs 18/12... I believe my 2x MC got us the "xtra" 6% (especially Lorik Cana since he is a "playmaker").. But then again, the stats don't show all. I believe we had more possesion then 53% ´+ we created more goal scoring opportunities then DS did, but the again I could have "wrong".

WELL DONE!!! It was your TACTICS and RESEARCH that won you this cup!!! You deserve it and I am delighted to hear that you have beaten the favourites to win the competition. You deserve a few beers tonight...

From CUP BOYCOTTERS to CUP CHAMPIONS... AND... Nobody can take it away from you now... Congratulations.

Thanks, July Fourth. Appreciate it!

Yeah, it's a awesome feeling afterwards.. This game (or final) was a "dream come true" for me and this trophy has a great meaning for me. I always wanted to face DS in a final (CL or CUP) since day 1. He is the one of the best, if not the "best" at the entire server and nobody stood a chance against him since lvl 1 in any tournament. I think he is a little bit of "shocked" and can't believe that he got beaten. But then again, we followed them through the whole tournament and I studied all of his games and it payed off. Also, now it's proven that tactics beat quality

Did you have a BOT, watching your game?

And it's not just 9*, look at their roles and SAs, everything was personal trained at unbelievable level.

What makes me smile is that they still are "nubs". William Asset is selling a Q51 player for the 3rd straight day and didn't still realize that none is bidding cause there are no managers level 7 who would see him as 5*.

William Asset won't be able to sell this player until the season after next assuming that the 51 quality player doesn't gain another star.
