LEAGUE ROUND 11
July Fourth 3-0 selcuk ask
July Fourth 118.5 4-1-1-3W-1 until 52 mins then 4-1-3W-2 - selcuk ask 109.8 4-4-2 classic
With Batigo winning earlier 3-0, this was a good response from us in the end, we struggled to get going at first with the first few attacks fell to the away side, but they lost a player through injury and he wasn't auto-subbed so they lost momentum after their attack from a free-kick was saved and the corner was headed away by hogan in the moments that came after their injury, Michu found O'Sullivan in the area and he curled it past the GK to give us the HT lead, We switched things around and brought off Miku and Michu and gave Papaleo and the returning Pietropaolo from his injury lay-off, Papaleo was once again excellent and made it 2-0 shortly after coming on the field and controlling it past a defender and shooting low past the keeper, there was a rare goal from McNamara after Papaleo got behind the defence and set him up for our 3rd, The game slowed down and we missed a couple of chances at the end to make it 4-0.
Goals: O'Sullivan (31) Papaleo (52) McNamara (55) MOTM: O'Sullivan.
Team Talk: This match today for us is the mimimum amount of performance we are going to need in our remaining games this season in the league if we are going to win the league this season, Of course when we play nakompathom and Batigo we will need our best game. We go into 'Middle Weekend' in a similar position to this time last season and won every game between now and the end of that season in the league.

It's all being well playing 4-4-2 classic when your around 10Q better than your opponent and almost any tactic will win you the game, when its almost the same, your looking to the 5 man midfield formations to win you the game such as 3-5-2 flat or 4-5-1 V, attacking the flanks with mixed passing and attacking mentality. Of course this doesn't always work.

We struggled a lot against an opponent on an average 2* line up. A very undertoned performance here which could have costed us few points if not even a loss at a point when (OFC) two double corners almost caused a disaster. Then Stark took the initiative and scored twice securing the result. Against the narrow diamond we used 3-5-2 V, 3-4-1-2, 3-1-4-2 and none of them sorted any effect on the match.
Ofc, like i predicted yesterday, we had our 20th injury in 20 matches this time on O.Hutton, making it that our two main forwards are out with the approaching cup second leg..
We accept bets on tonight's cl match next injury.
I hate losing to inferior teams :/
yesterday I lost 1-2 in league with 61% possession
and today I lost 1-2 in CL with 58% possession
CL doesnt matter, I'm still #1, but it just sucks. League loss yesterday sucked, but today my main contender also lost vs a worse team, so its all in the green zone![]()

MATCHREPORT (DAY 13) - BALKAN BOYZ (Sz. 6 / Lvl6)
LEAGUE: We played the 2nd today, the Lithuanian team "Ekranas FC" which we managed to beat with 2 - 1. "Ekranas FC", more know as for playing an "asymmetrical" formation took the lead in the 24th minute, but our mega-star, Miroslav Stevanović equalized 10 minutes later and Aleksandar Kolarov got us the winning goal in the 85th minute after assist from Edin Džeko. Ognjen Vranješ was declared as MoM (rate:8).
The crucial win against "Ekranas FC" means that we hold on to the 1th place with 31 points after 11 rounds and with a record of 10W-1D-0L. "Ekranas FC" is 2nd with 26 points and "PUTOV" 3rd at 25points. We are playing the Malay team "Joker FC" tomorrow away. The Kick off is scheduled for 13:10CET.
CL: We played one of the "better" teams in the group, the French "AC Milan" in the 6th and final round in group E and managed to collect a 4 - 0 win. Edin Džeko scored two goals while Luka Modrić and Hasan Salihamidžić scored a goal each. Hasan Salihamidžić was declared as MoM (rate:9).
The win against "AC Milan" means that we end up as the groupwinners with 18 points and with a 6W-0D-0L record. We will face the Malay team "Serve FC" (Q44) in the final-eight. Our Italian friends "ZEO Team" will face the Spanish team "Al Hilal FC", while our countrymen from Bosnia "FC Kula" ended at the bottom of group G (reason: tanking the season/inactive).
FRIENDLIES: We played a friendly game today as well. I took the liberty to test and addapt a couple of new formations and swap players around, just to see if the could play better or not in their given role. Also, some extra boosters are always welcome.
TEAM TALK: Well, we are continuing to play pretty damn good, both offensivly and defensivly. The win against "Ekranas FC" in the league gave us a breather and we have a 4point advantage. The groupwin in CL means that we are CL groupwinners for the 5th time in a row.
Miroslav Stevanović is doing great and will become one of our key-players. I'm also considering to learn Stevan Jovetic in a AMC role since my intention is to play Stevanović and Jovetić behind Džeko. I will probably adapt a AMC-AMC-ST formation for next season, with ML + MR at the flanks and with a 4-man defensive line (DL-DC-DC-DR). Lorik Cana will be put in a ML role instead of a MC role. This means that we will look after a yound MR for next season on the auctions and PT him to a 7*.
INJURY LIST/SUSPENSION: Currently we have 1 player on the injury list: X.Shaqiri (3days). No suspensions to report.
PT/ TRAINING SESSION: The PT session on Miroslav Stevanović goes as planned. He will be a 8* by tomorrow and officially presented together with the 7* ST, Vedad Ibišević.
