Bench - Weidenfeller, Dante, Barzagli, Pirlo, Holtby, Mandzukic

Taking on Nads knock off Real minus Real players - exploit their powderpuff midfield and win the game

Attacking:
- Dominate possession; full backs offer width/support (one at a time), wingers to run at FBs, put crosses in
- Rabiot/Alli get forward to support Kane centrally, while Dier sits
- Kane holds up ball: lays off to forward four, runs into space between CBs

Defending:
- Pressing game: midfield hustles, wins tackles, gets ball back quickly to launch attacks
- Full-backs track wingers, turn them inside for CMs to deal with
- Dier covers for whichever FB is attacking

Subs
Winning at 70 - Pirlo for Rabiot, keep possession and close out the game
Losing at 70 - Mandzukic for Rabiot, 2 up top and get crosses in

Result - Real Madrid (Chicharito) 1-1 Vancouver (Mahrez)

Feedback
Nadz get better wingers everything else fairly decent nowadays.
"Azzy" Don't play a forward that can't hit a barn door Plus with Madrid's full backs being fairly decent now theirs not enough creativeness coming from the centre of the park.

Match 2 - Macclesfield vs Accrington - Default 2-0 win for Macclesfield
