Round 5
Well, it seems that this round CA was the main option for many teams. It´s amazing to see that six matches out of eight, had a team counterattacking. As a plus, other team decided to press. Some were successful, others not so much, but at least matches were mostly enjoyable and entertaining.
The only match without a team playing CA or pressing was the one between FC Granit, the great ukranian team pretty used to play in this competition and Artest FC who managed to achieve pretty high midfield and defense in order to overpower his opponent and stay in the competition.
PFC_Beroe´s midfield wasn´t enough against TURKSTRIKERS. This time, TURKSTRIKERS played counterattacking, and did great. His attack wasn´t strong, but was more than enough against the bulgarian defense.
Xeq Matt also decided to counterattack, and it ended up working great too. Magnificent eleven couldn´t beat the brazilian defense, although it wasn´t so strong as it could have been. PoCo Panthers wasn´t able to win thanks to counterattacks: his titanic rating and amazing defenses couldn´t stop Zeta´s offense. With nice defense and attacks, Zeta played very intelligent and knew how the canadian team was going to play. That´s why his midfield wasn´t so high, but he focused, instead, in his attacks.
BeoPower also played like this, against Hashalom Beer-Sheva. Playing in Israel, Hashalom Beer-Sheva had the advantage, and he didn´t waste it. BeoPower played focusing in defense and midfield mainly. He only tried to attack one side... but wasn´t enough. Now Hashalom Beer-Sheva will be playing next round.
AC Ziky team, one of the most famous candidates this season, played against Condenados FC. At home, he was practically impossible to stop. Condenados decided to play pressing the match, but anyway, Ziky ended up scoring a lot, besides Condenados great defense.
The german team TSV Kalkspur Oedheim keeps winning, and his central attack makes his possible opponents beware. His opponent tried to counterattack anyway... but Kalkspur´s attack was unstoppable, as it also was in previous rounds, and made the german team advance another round.
FightClub Football Club, not being less than other teams in the competition, also tried to counterattack trying to beat the strong portuguese team MADP SAD, who decided to focus mainly in midfield but reaching nice ratings in defense and attack too. FightClub, tried to counterattack by wing attacks, leaving central attack almost useless. The match was really close, and MADP SAD ended up victorious.
Next round...
Quarterfinals! We´ll see the last round with home/away factor. Semifinals and final are played in neutral ground. AC Ziky team - TURKSTRIKERS will determine, probably, one of the finalists of the competition. Both of them are teams that are expending lots of money in order to win the competition, and have really strong squads to do so.
Hashalom Beer-Sheva - TSV Kalkspur Oedheim will be other interesting match to see. Although Kalkspur mainly focus in midfield and central attack, it will be interesting to see how he´ll manage to play against Hashalom Beer-Sheva in Israel. Artest FC is the other team from Israel (the only country with two teams in the competition right now) but will play away against MADP SAD.
Zeta will play at home, and will be very difficult for Xeq Matt. Despite having a great squad, the brazilian team will have a hard time against Zeta in Sweden. Zeta is superior, but any bad choice may make him go out of the competition. We´ll see if Xeq Matt is able to surprise us all, demonstrating brazilian "jogo bonito".
See you next week!
