That's it guys. This season is over and phew, we are the champions. I mean, we are the champions. Really? Really.
We are the champions! Unexpected, but well deserved, well fucking deserved!
Before deep diving further tactical analysis I would like to present you the roster and their amazing managers.
THE STARTING FIVE-
Dingdong "Ring the bell" Fornoles (manager FINAL FANTASY - Taiwan): probably the best player I've ever seen in the U21, our defensive monster played every single match, even when he was 7 in shape. He's the strangest player to put in the lineup, he needed constantly to be switched, he played PG, SG, SF and PF, he forced me to always have the right combo to adjust the defense but if you see the matchup ratings he allowed you will see how much impact he did have for us
-
Prudence "Don't shoot!" Oton (manager Coohky - France): as I said above, he stepped up big during the season to be the right man in the right place. Bad shooting percentage, great defense, good passing rate. At the beginning of this Asian championship I was really worried for the PG spot in which only Israel was on track. Israel went down with injuries and Oton has been perfectly trained (thanks!).
-
Samuel Sammy "Uncle Sam" Luzon (manager ME! It's MINE!): he's the lucky guy. You know, like Ringo Starr in the Beatles, Victoria Adams in the Spice Girls, or whatsoever less talented guy who made the other talented guys free to play at their best. Luzon is the "switch guy" to compensate Fornoles, I bought him when he was 20yo, so credits to his previous manager too.
-
Pastor "The Story" Gavadan (manager Greer - Italy): he's the story of this AC. Only one world caliber big man, paired with low profile guys in every match, affordable scorer but he went down for 2 weeks, he came back, he celebrated the win vs Australia and then again another injury, another two weeks right when the semifinal (and the final) were approaching. It seemed all over for him, his manager bought a super-doctor, Gavadan came back on time to play on thursday before the semifinal, he trained shape. He was 9 in shape, he played the semi, he played the final, he won the final, he annihilated China. Good job Pastor, you're THE GUY.
-
Ludivino "Ugly Ludy" Gamosa (manager Greer - again!): our team was full of secondaries, full of TSP, full of pink colors everywhere. Gamosa is not, but he's 20. And played in a final vs the #1 n the world, against proficient 21yo players with more than three times his DMI. Just to say Thank you to my old friend Greer, old because I knew him since many years (not because he's old, really), we won many things together and he's a master in training ugly centers
(Hey opponents, don't lay on this, Gamosa is being trained now to be more skilled on both sides!)
