MATCHREPORT (DAY 19-22) - BALKAN BOYZ (Sz. 6 / Lvl6)


Quick summary: It's been 3 days since the last team update, mostly because I'm on my holiday and *out of office* (enjoying it like h*ll!), but here is a quick summary

We had a tough schedule and it was almost a "You Win or You Die" situation, both in the League and Champions League. In the League, we faced the 3 of the 6 "top teams". The Spanish "CD Tenerife", "Putov FC" and the Vietnamese "something something". Thankfully, we managed to achieve 3 away wins (0-4, 0-1 and 1-6) and therefore collect 9 important points. As it currently stands, we hold on the 1th place with 56p and are 6p clear in front of the 2nd team, Ekranas FC (50p). We will play the Israeli team "RYY HO" (3rd) at home tomorrow, kick off is scheduled at 14:19CET.

When it comes to the Champions League, we had almost a "impossible" task: to win and eliminate the 2nd best Q-team in the tournament, the Turkish Malatyaspor (Q51.6). Since the 1th leg ended in a 2-2 draw, we had no choice then going "all-in" and pray that the 3N-1-2N-2W-2 formation would work against his 4-4-2 ND. Thankfully, it did and we took a important 0-2 win. The win meant that we won after 4-2 on aggregate and made it through to the semi-finals were we will play the Israeli team "Iztik Yan". Iztik Yan is a well know opposition for us, since they competed and participated in the same league edition last season as we did (they ended as 2nd). It seems that their manager is using the same formation as last season (4-2-2-2 hex) and I will probably go with the 3N-2W-2N-1-2 or the 4-3N-2W-1 formation.

All the best ya all!
