    Hey guys!!!
    Noooo, I didn't forget you!!
    I would never forget such a great support. So, here is the story ;PPPP Get the popcorn ready!

    Before this match which I lost 1-4, I had another lose (in the league): 2-0 to a team 15% weaker than mine (til then, I thought it was normal).
    And after CL 1st hand, I lost again in the league: 1-4 to a team 30% weaker than mine with a weird tactic (DC-DC-DC, DML-DMC-DMR, ML-MR, ST-ST). So at this point, I saw something wrong happening to my team.
    The next match was Cup half final 2nd hand. I had won the first match out 2-1 and then I decided to play very defensively (4-1-4-1 Ultra-def) with a team of 100% subs, so I could see if something would change in my team performances. I lost 1-0, but I qualified to the Cup final with 2 away goals. In this match, my team was still with a strange performance. Missed a PK and 2 counter attacks (that in general always ends with a goal).

    The next match was the expected CL 2nd hand!!! I renewed all my team contracts to see if my team would get back to normal (most of my main team were in the last year with low wages - so it was an hypotesis).

    I followed the convictions and started the match with the following formation:

    My opponent remained with the same formation. 451V.

    The game started and I got a screenshot of the first numbers.

    I like reading the numbers to make formation changes. At this point, it was meaningless, I guess, but I decided to add some risk. I putted arrows up to my full backs

    And then the numbers were updated in the halftime, so I could make appropriate changes.

    As I was playing High Pressure + Hard Tackling, I expected to have more tackles at this point. But, unexpectedly, i had 9 tackles and my oppo had 10 tackles. I concluded he had high pressure too (my passing percentage was low too and i was playing short ;O).
    Here, I decided to play long pass (I have a feeling that long pass is pain in the @$$ for high pressure). And then my team really started taking control of the match.

    This is my AML 11-Ozorio carrying the ball through the left flank.

    He crossed the ball to my AMC 9-Burgos and.... and... and...
    ... The defender took it ;p

    And then I had this free kick to my wonder chinese player 6-Ji, FK specialist with 160% shooting.

    Oh yeah! Long balls were working greatly and at least my pride was back!!! (and that's the reason I didn't try to play ultra-super attacking)

    But...

    Suddenly, a FK to the oppo:

    But my goalkeeper saved it!

    The match ended 0-1, but even I didnt qualify to half finals, I could feel happy. My proud was back and my team got a win against an equal team after 4 strange losses in a row.

    And there's more. Guess who is my opponent in Cup Final?! )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))
