FOOTBALL | Analysis: Third time not lucky

Head coach Aku Grevienn reacts to the own goal.

Gianlucastadt. I'll go right ahead and say it: this was the worst game I've ever had to watch. We were promised the perhaps most tense match of the tournament, but what we got was one of the more dull ones where neither team achieved a good offence. The RIM are excused, they were not the favourites. Sedunn however... The Jolly Boys usually play high-pace offensive football that's just plain fun to watch, but what we've seen so far in this tournament is the opposite, and the reason spells Grunberg-Eipp.

Well, to be fair, it's not their fault. The so-called dynamic duo usually play splendid football. Karel Grunberg both won the Fere 1 (Sedunn's top professional football division) with his Goends Innt and was awarded player of the year 2020. Hasst Eipp had a great season in the Gianlucan top division with SV Südtor. When unleashed together, magic happens. Usually. And that's why head coach Grevienn this year made the entire formation all about them. He basically put them in the front, relying on them to score all goals, then put the rest of the team on the defensive. Quite risky. When they don't performed well - surprise, few goals are scored.

This was hopefully the last match with this formation. Third time was not lucky. Sedunnic football fans will have to hope that the abnormal self confidence of Grunberg and Eipp has not been ruined. Because Sedunn needs them in the team. Not as a team of their own.

P.s. To all of you who wanted me to join the bandwagon thing against Hevvtem: shame on you! It was an accident. Own goals happen. It was Grevienn who truly ruined the match.
