[OFFICIAL] The Mourinho Victory Tour - Full Time!

ah damn.... mate. So frustrating to have 4 penalties against...

Well Monaco was a difficult one. Even if I usually find my way against 2ST formations no matter how difficult the opponent is , this one was tricky.
However . I think the most important thing is to find a way and win in mid. If you manage to circulate the ball better than them and have the possession at least even , with speedy counters you can get them.

Thanks mate. Well, that was my plan, hence the 5 man midfield. But it didn't help. I conceded 1 goal on kick off. Countered to 1-1 then had 1 penalty and 1 free kick against me resulting in 2 goals. I countered another one, but it was in 82'. I checked the STs as well, they didn't create anything of value. It is what it is.

Apparently in these events, white skills are secondary and overall quality is primary. The opposition has higher quality (15 % differential), but every single white skill of the opposition players' is considerably lower than my players'. In the final, Monaco's DR even had higher grey skills than white skills for several attributes. White skills were around 110-115 % on average. My ML/AML has an average attack of 185 %. My MR/AMR is even more savage, his attack is over 200 % eventhough the DL of Monaco was better than the DR. But still nowhere near even two thirds of my MR/AMR. My DR is an absolute beast all over when it comes to white skills and several of his grey skills are at 1 %. My DC averages almost 200 % in defence. But all in vain. It seems quantity trumps quality in these events.

As of lately I'm leaning towards the fact that overall quality seems more important than individual (white) skills.
