Bro that Division 9 match vs Manchester United was actually stressful 😂 I play under Borussia Fort Mind and I swear I thought it was gonna be a walkover at
first. 15th minute I got one early, just a simple tiki taka around their box and my ST buried it. I was already typing “ez” in my head. But after that goal nothing was working. Their defense just sat back and parked the bus. Every time I tried to force it I lost the ball and had to sprint back. From 15th minute all the way to 45th minute I was just frustrated, missing chances, overplaying. I even thought I’d go to halftime with just 1-0 and they’d equalize. Then right before halftime, 44th minute I think, I slowed down, passed around the edge, one-two with my CAM and boom, second goal. I just dropped the phone and went to grab water before second half even started.
Second half started and I told myself no more rushing. If I keep forcing shots I’ll lose this game. I noticed their backline was slow whenever I switched play quick, so I just committed to tiki taka only. Short passes, no risky through balls, just keep moving them left and right till someone opens up. It was boring but it worked. Like 2 minutes into second half I did the same thing again - 6 passes across their 18, drew their CB out, cutback to my winger and 3-0. At that point I knew the game was done.
Honestly the lesson for me was patience. I kept thinking I needed to score bangers to win Division 9, but Manchester United guy just wanted me to get angry and misplay. Only tiki taka broke him down. 3-0 sounds easy but it didn’t feel easy at all while I was playing. If I didn’t slow down after that first goal I probably would’ve drawn or even lost. Borussia Fort Mind lives to fight another day 😁
You still stuck in Division 9 too or you’ve moved up already?
