I played a league game today and it was tough. My squad is only 2600 rated, but I was up against a team with 3100 rating. I picked a Legend level league on purpose though, because I want to push myself and get better. Playing against stronger teams is the only way to make my hands faster and my decisions sharper.
The match itself went rough from the start. In the first 3 minutes they just sat back and defended deep. It was hard to even get a shot off in that time. As soon as those 3 minutes passed, they switched and started pressing me hard. If you’re not focused in that moment, they’ll punish you fast. Before I could settle down, they had already scored 2 goals.
Once the game balanced out a bit, it became a fight to either pull one back or stop them from adding more. It really depends on how well you handle the pressure. If you calm down and play simple, you can create chances. If you panic, they’ll score again and it just gets harder.
For me, I didn’t figure out how to break through their defense quickly enough. By the time I started understanding their pattern, they were already 3 goals up 💔. After that, I was just trying to hold on and get at least one goal back, but the pressure didn’t let up much.
So yeah, that was the match. Lots of pressure from the first minute, and I learned the hard way that you can’t relax for even a second in Legend league. It was frustrating, but I guess that’s why I’m playing it – to get used to this kind of pace and get better.
I also think I should play more matches and spin more so I could get better players 🙂.
MY GAME PLAY AND GAME STAT.
