Asunto: [NT] Friendlies

noooooo!

Won't show the squad and tactic here, since Carna still has access to Association :-P

What a shame, pussy :p

you are going down sucker :-P

We are playing very prestigious match against Czech republic on Saturday. This match is especially interesting for me since I am a scout/assistant for CZ senior NT for 5 seasons now..
Czech team will play some combination of U23/4 players, we are gonna play mix of A+B-squad. I want to try some players with lower form and some youngsters that didnt get their opportunity in WCQ yet..

Czech coach Wo-10 is extremelly thorough and studies his opponents and their tactics for every match so I will try to surprise him with Carna's speciality 6-2-2..

good luck. make us proud!

yeah, nice idea, go get them suprised ;-P

Hmm i was afraid he was screwing up his training and I was right..:-( He could have been much better..

Hmm he poped too soon in pace, I'm not happy about this :-) I'm going to waste few trainings on him..

So Misr coach ignored our agreement and we had to find our opponent in the crazy Turks :-) I want to play some younger team U25/26 (Methula and co..) but the Turkish coach is scared or whatever and only wants to play A-squad. So be ready for some beating..

Just like last season I saved the best for last:-) On Saturday we'll play our good old pal Carna, it will be his last match as Hayastan coach before he takes over his home Belgium. We will play our classic friendly set - U25/26 mix with 3 older players vs Hayastan U27.

Let's see if we can revange the defeat from last season, hopefully I can come up with some surprises in the match:-)

Great victory!

well, my opinion is VERY unbiased... ;-)

no, seriously, Kalaka has 12 +4 in defense. so if you plan on plaing one of them as def mid, I's go for Kalaka for sure. in a more offenive role Felix has better PM and Passing, but his low form could be a problem. I'd wait for the two form updates (tomorrow and thursday) to decide finally

He will be 1 of 2 defmids, Fana plays 532 a lot, so I'll try something different..I've found this tactic on my list, so I'll try this .-)

Kalaka finally with the long expected up in defense:
