A new beginning

Last night's match against YuYiNxD was quite enlightening (from now on I'll write the name without capping).

Even though the opponents were apparently more skillful than our beloved warriors, the team's defence and midfield were as stoic as the weather allowed. The scorching sun boiled the arena in an Inferno fashion, pressing onto the lads to no avail. The goal wasn't tainted but the attack opportunities were hard to come across with.

The clever coach Lambetain has matured enough to forsee the gameplay according to the conditions displayed. Knowing the enemies' advantages and our weaknesses, he told the brave ones to play a mistake-based offensive game. Wait for openings. Turtle up if necessary. Crouch in the bushes like a tiger and wait until the prey lowers its guard, then pounce towards it and slash the motherfucker's belly exposing its innards and bust its neck with a 14 ton car-crushing diplodocus-mauling bite.

It didn't happen though.

End-of-match report shows us that WE had the advantage regarding overall rating details. That shows us, and the world, that good players don't necessarily make the difference. It's all about tactics, comradery and huge manly sacks.

The new season kicks off!

The team so far

As we eagerly await next season, off-season gives us a little bit of playtime and work in the meantime.

The youth team is responding extremely good to training and players re-locations. Gómez, Oyarbide and Peñalva are greatly comfortable in their positions so far. Their mid-field and forward abilities have proven their worth on last two matches, blatantly overwhelming the opposition.

As for the main team, we are quite confident the Samurais will earn and retain first position in the next series. Changes are right round the corner: Aniceto Moglia was fired because of disrespectfulness towards the management team and staff. While discussing the renewal of his contract, he felt he wasn't making it to the first team (again) and spat on Lambetain's face. His last words were: "Ever since I joined this team I put my heart and soul into it. You don't deserve me." We must say he did put his heart and soul to the team, except when he got wasted once every two weeks and never went to get the ball each time he drove it out of the training field.

In another turn of events, Gianfranco Bueno is leaving us on his own since he says he found a better way to make a living: as a dealer.

In a casino.

We sure hope the best for him!

And last but not least, next season we'll be having a new team to pitch against: YuYiNxD.

Checking upon the players, it's more of an old, but extremely experienced squad. We'll just have to show our youthfulness, skill and good looks against the old war veterans.

This will be a season to remember!
