My trophy cabinet still awaiting that extra trophy ...
I feel you mate, tough luck , its frustrating as hell when you reach the final only to lose to a team with mutant players. Thank God i already won the national cup on my 2nd season in charge, altough it was only a 1-0 win and i only won at the end of the game, the 2nd time i reached the final i lost in injury time, i was losing 1-0, then in the last 10 min i equalized, only to concede in injury time and lose 2-1, i was so gutted, worst time possible to concede, impossible to turn it around
This season i managed to reach the final again, it was a difficult run to the final, my game will be later and i'm up against a strong team, i'm still pondering what tactics and formation i will use, but looking at my luck in knockout games lately i wouldnt be surprised if i lost this game in some sickening way again. I hope my players show up and i can win it, because it's so difficult to reach the final, let alone win it. Cheers
