MY MATCH INTRO🙂
This was my rank up match to Semi Pro II in FC Mobile and honestly if you have ever played FC Mobile you will know that rank up matches are never easy, the game always feels different, the opponent plays like prime Barcelona, your players start missing simple passes, and EA's scripting just wants to frustrate you, but I entered this match with one mindset which was I must win by all means. The game was Kin vs Pra, I was using Spain in that white jersey with maroon shorts, Fermin Lopez wearing number 12, while the opponent was in red, the stadium was full and you could see the Spain flags and EA SPORTS ads everywhere. Right from 00:00 I had a corner kick with Lamine Yamal and the game even brought out the prompt that said tap on player for corner kick, I tried to play it short but their Van Dijk cleared it, that was how the pressure started, for the first 6 to 10 minutes it was still 0-0 and I was trying to control the game with Rodri, Dembele, Fabian Ruiz, using SHOOT, THROUGH, PASS, SPRINT SKILL when attacking and SLIDE, 2ND DEF, SWITCH, SPRINT TACKLE when defending, I was just trying to balance both sides.
The first half was more like a chess match than an open game, I was not rushing, I was holding the ball, passing around, using auto and manual switching well, you can even see at the bottom of the screen names like Rocki, Madden, Marcos Llorente, Ferran Torres, Pau Cubarsi, those were the players I was rotating the ball with. Between 08:14, 09:18, 10:34, 11:30, 12:59, 13:59, 15:34, 16:59, 17:50 and 18:15 it was all midfield battle, the opponent was trying long balls but my defenders Cubarsi and Llorente were clearing everything, there was a moment around the 16th minute where he got into my box from the left side but Llorente tracked back well and I defended it. I also tried to attack with Dembele on the right wing but their defenders blocked it, then Pedri picked the ball in the middle, passed to Bangal, Bangal to Walsh, still no goal, you know that feeling when you are playing a rank up match and the goal is not coming, your hands start shaking a little because one small mistake can make you concede and lose the whole promotion.
Then finally at 24:22 the breakthrough came and it was my main man Fermin Lopez, that 97 rated CAM card that feels like a cheat code in this game, his shooting and positioning are just crazy. The build up started from Oyarzabal on the wing, he passed to Diko, Diko held it for a second, then I saw Fermin making that run in the half space, I played a through ball and he went one on one with the keeper, the keeper in green came out but it was too late, Fermin just slotted it low into the corner with his right foot, the keeper dived but the ball was already inside the net. The score became Kin 1-0 Pra and the big GOAL animation showed on the screen with Fermin's card, 97 CAM, Fermin, 24th minute, and the celebration was that badge kiss and chest beating with number 12 at the back of his jersey, the crowd was shouting in the background, that first goal was such a relief, I actually shouted in my room because in a rank up match the first goal is very important, once you score first you can control the tempo and calm your nerves.
But I did not park the bus after that because I know if you sit back in FC Mobile, EA will script an equalizer for your opponent, so I continued pressing high, in the second half I was still attacking, using Lamine Yamal's pace on the right, Oyarzabal on the left, Ferran Torres at the top, I was creating chances back to back, there was even a replay that showed an attack where I carried the ball from the center circle, passed two defenders, entered the box and shot but the keeper saved it the first time, it was on the second attack that I got the second goal that made it 2-0. That second goal killed the game completely, the opponent Pra was already tired, his players were not running again, his defense was scattered, and I used that chance to hold possession, waste a little time but still look for a third goal. The EA FC MOBILE logo showed after the goal in the replay with different camera angles from behind the goal and from the side, you could see clearly how the ball entered the net and the keeper fell to the ground.
At the end of the match I won 2-0, a clean sheet in a rank up match to Semi Pro II, that is not a small achievement, I had been stuck in Semi Pro III for like 4 days, every time I reached the final match to promote I would either lose 1-0 or draw, so this win meant a lot to me. My midfield with Rodri, Pedri and Fermin controlled everything, my defense with Pau Cubarsi and Marcos Llorente did not allow any shot on target, and my attack with Yamal and Oyarzabal was too fast for them to handle. After the match I went straight to my editing app to cut the highlights because I wanted to post it on my status and show people how I ranked up. That is how I ranked up to Semi Pro II, now my next target is Pro III, and I am confident that with this Spain squad I will get there very soon.
