Season 132 - Are you ready?

[Arphaxad]

Yesterday went great. We had two games at our hands. The first was the second leg in the cup and the second was a league game. We're through in the cup after a 5-0 win, 14-0 on aggregate and are placed first in the league after a 5-0 win. My two new recruits at midfield have done good. My newly acquired AMC scored two goals in the cup and my ST had come to life in the league, scoring a couple. The team star, Manuel Marcusson (AML) is still on fire per usual.

Four important games ahead of us today, two association games, one CL and one league game.

We've been experimenting with a slightly modified formation. Up until now, we've mainly been playing 4-5-1v or 4-2-3-1, basically shifting between DMC and AMC depending on opposition and score. Henceforth, we'll be trying out a mix between the two: 4-3-2w-1. The fullbacks will be given more freedom to attack (no red arrows) and the central MC will mainly focus on defensive duties (red arrow). Passes will be focused down the flanks as our wingers are the team's superstars. We'll be utilising long passes in order to get the ball out yp our wingers fast and hard tackling in order to win the ball back decisively.

We've also acquired a new player going into today's challenges. A new DC: Jaime Ibarra. This was a weak link of ours and with this signing the squad is set for the season. J. Ibarra will hopefully fill the gap that sometimes was exploited in our defense. With the new acquisition, we're fully prepared and ready to hunt for all four trophies this season (incl. Supercup).

We'll need to focus much of our training resources on the new acquisitions from the last couple of days (DC Jaime Ibarra, MC Senan Kone, MC/AMC Isaac Fassawa), but we're confident that the investments will be well worth it in the long run.
