LEAGUE ROUND 17
ceyhun 0-3 July Fourth
ceyhun defensive 3W-2-3W-2 110.8 - July Fourth 119.0 3N-4-1-2 1st half, 3N-1-4-2 2nd half
A potential banana skin for us here as we faced a formation I hate playing against because sometimes all the extra players behind the ball can sometimes make it difficult for us to score, but we played in the right spirit in getting the job done and perhaps it was a reasonable win as far as the GD situation is on our league this season. July Fourth did however struggle a little in the first half and it was a moment of brilliance of Vestergaard from cutting in from the wing and to shoot from 25 meters to give us the lead, we changed our shape a little in the second half, by bringing off yellow carded Miku who never got into the game and put on Hardy and removed Diamond for Mensah in the second half, Chances were coming more often for us since we had the extra man in defence who was able to win balls and supply our forwards with more chances, Pietropaolo had a decent second half creating a few chances but failed to convert any, But one of those chances he had spilled for a corner which Stuart crossed in for Ramirez to header in for our 2 goal lead, our 3rd goal came from... Remember the old days? A Mensah free-kick. We placed him back on first choice for free-kick duties until end of the season for any matches he may appear in, all 3 of his free-kicks he had were on target and at least he converted one of them.
Goals: Vestergaard (31) Ramirez (62) Mensah (76) MOTM: Malik.
Suspension News: Miku suspended for next league game.
Team Talk: A good result in the end of us and nice to see Mensah get back on the scoresheets again, but he is declining in relative quality and he will only be mid 4* next season and will find himself a new club next season. Batigo United play later vs one of the inactives Mateo so they are expected to win by quite a big margin this afternoon. Tomorrow we play Fenerbahce SK the team that caused the surprise loss to us earlier in the season at home and we will be looking for a big win and despite them winning against us earlier in the season, It appears that they have tanked the season.
