Doubles !! We have done it!! Against an opponent 6* better than us, it was literally Tottenham vs Real Madrid/Barcelona
We originally started out as 4-3N-2AMC-1 (vs. 4-1-4-1) with 2AMC who are also suitable to play as AML/AMR so we had the option to switch to 4-3N-2W-1 anytime during the match. Best player (AML) and best ST on the bench for second half subs.
Defensive mentality, passing through the middle when 2AMC/down both flanks when AML AMR, Long passing style, Normal tackling pressing own half, Man on man marking with blue arrow on 2 DCs.
Opponents subs after half time (minute 46) scored a goal only 8 minutes into the second half (minute 54). After conceded, we had to change to normal and then attacking mentality eventually, focus passing & passing style mixed. Since our second best striker was ineffective, we subs in our best striker (minute 63) and then subs our DL for our highest quality player the AML (minute 77), effectively changing to 3N-3N-3W-1.
It was minute 80, then 85, then 89.. and then minute 90.. we though the game was finished, GG, we lost against a much stronger team, no shame in that. But NO, our 77' subs - superstar World-Class AML refused to surrender (Gareth Bale much?) and scored the goal of his life at minute 90 to bring the game to AET.
Our team morale reached a climax!
But our opponent still got the upper hand with high quality players, had decided to go all out attacking and hope that the quality of his team will finish the game before letting luck becomes the deciding factor. But with only 2DC to defend, we gained possessions and controlled the game. Soon he realised this is not going to help and switched back to a proper formation. AET ended. It's penalty time.
WE HAVE DONE IT. Against all odds, we have got the double. Opponent's players missed 4 penalties in a row, surely this is unreal!! The manager rushed out to the field and was cheered by the fans and players!!
