LEAGUE ROUND 3
fc barcerona 1-4 July Fourth
fc barcerona 105.7 3W-1-3W-1-2 - July Fourth 118.3 4-2-3W-1 first half, 4-3W-1-2 second half.
We played the dandelions brother formation, same thing with 3W defence and we were deciding to try out a new tactic, the 4-2-3W-1, to try and offer to support to Miku who we think we are not getting the full potential of from a 9* shadow striker which we believe that should be scoring around 30 a season at 9*, and it kind of worked, think Miku prefers other players around to pass to and from rather than have the space of being the lone attacking midfielder. barcerona were a weak side but not surprisingly the raise their game for this.
July Fourth were too good in the end recording another fine win, Our first goal came from a corner from Stuart onto Michu to header in, Then Stuart was the assist again for providing a pass to Vestergaard to score his first for the club around the half hour mark, barcerona enjoyed a good spell in the second half when we changed tactics for a little and they almost pulled one back when Ardiyanto shot over the bar, we decided to bring Papaleo and Mensah on to freshen us up a little and towards the end of the game Stuart broke the barcerona defence and gave the keeper no chance and a few minutes later barcerona scored from a counter attack Ewald sending it past the keeper after beating our defence in a fine solo move, but it was a special July Fourth moment as Miku's shot from 25 meters beat the keeper to give the young attacking midfielders 50th goal for July Fourth. Dino Childs continues to impress in defence.
Goals: Michu (14) Vestergaard (31) Stuart (72) Ewald (76) Miku (82) MOTM: Vestergaard.
This result now puts July Fourth the lead in the league and since the 3 teams on 2-0-0 at the start of the day all lost, we will have a 1 point lead overnight and importantly remain 2 points ahead of Batigo United who won by an easy 4-0 against Vevuz Derya. It is very important July Fourth win tomorrow because Batigo play against one of the 2 inactives tomorrow so thats a easy win for them.
