Also, Benitez had the hard league and he aced it, he got top soccer and scored 94 times and assisted around 55 times in all competitions. I can’t remember fro upside how many assists he got all season.
Trust me, I got a tough league CL and cup draw this season, but I am looking forward to it, having decent competition that gives a run for your money is better than playing bot/abandoned teams that don’t have a hope of beating you.
Also, I can continue where I left off with one of rivals/friends In my league and CL, we both support each other and we played a great CL Final which was 5-3 in my favour, but this can all change this season.
A while ago, I used to moan about literally anything I could find that was going against me here, some will remember that. (Quite humiliating time think about actually)
But now I feel it is better to be challenged, obviously I want the quadruple this season, and if I can get it this season, like Der_Ryan_M said, the trophies will feel earned, my Quadruple two seasons ago was good, but not great, I only felt happy with my CL win as I was challenged there, in the league and Cup that season, not so much.
Last season, I won all but 3 of my games against a lot of decent teams and won just 1 trophy for winning 46 out of 49 games last season, but I can tell you, my 2nd place finish in the league, my CL Semi Final finish and my Cup win felt quite good as I fought hard for everything, it was still a good season for me.
For me, playing against hard competition and winning 1/2 trophies that season is better than winning all 4 against bot/abandoned teams, or much weaker active teams.
I think I have made my point clear.
