Wtf, longest post I have seen in PES Insight...I think I'll just pass this one and read other ones...seriously.Reyes9 said:Good thread and post Estill.
I think the best memory of playing one of my mates was Borussia Dortmund (me) v AC Milan (him).
We were doing a Champions League-like knockout tournament (from last 16 onwards) and the 1st leg was a nightmare. My defence was all over the place, and Shevchenko and Inzaghi clinically put away everything that came their way. FINAL SCORE at the San Siro: AC Milan 4-0 Dortmund. To hear the 'yyyeeeaaaaas' whenever he scores is annoying at the best of times, but when it's for the fourth goal in a humiliating win, it boils my blood . I saw his smug face at the end of the match and had to get my revenge on the git.
Wanting revenge, I played the next set of games, raged with determination. I beat him almost every game in the next 5 or 6 games, then it came to Dortmund-Milan. I had beat him 4-0 or more in the past, so lets give it a go again I thought. Deep down though, I would have been happy with a 2-0 just to restore a bit of pride with Dortmund. I dominated the first 30 minutes and missed a chance when Marcio Amoroso was clean through. Shit I thought to myself, I have gotta get a goal soon. Fortunately I did before half time. There is hope. Jan Koller finishes in style as he smashes it into the top corner after a lovely through ball by my star-man Tomas Rosicky. Ear;y in the 2nd half he had a couple of good chances with Shevchenko to settle it for certain. fortunately he put one wide and the other my young German keeper Weiderfeller made a smart save. With around 54 minutes on the clock, i score again! Marcio Amoroso this time with a cracking left footed strike. 'Oh, good goal' he says, obviously still confident he is going through. Smug git, I have got to make him pay.
Time is ticking away and I now desperately bring Frings (he played for Dortmund at the time) on as a right-wing forward, alongside Koller, Ewerthon, Amoroso and Rosicky. It pays off to an extent I could only dream of. Within minutes Frings scores to make it 3-0. He is visibly getting nervous now. 1 more to send it into extra time. 10 minutes remain, all-out Dortmund attack. Milan aren't even in it, Nesta and Maldini just trying to hack the ball clear, everytime it gets near their box. But with Rosicky providing the ammunition, Koller, Amoroso and co. are looking dangerous. 85 mins, Rosicky is 25 yards out, thinking he is about to deliver another through ball, no defender hurries out to challenge him, they pay, Rosicky smacks it into the top corner. I try and keep calm, knowing that draws it level 4-4 on aggregate. My mate cannot believe it, 'argh fucking hell' he shouts. But it's not over, Rosicky crosses in and Koller scores from close range!! 5-0 with 2 minutes remaining, and thats how it stayed! That was without a doubt the best game I ever had against him, I had beaten him by 4, 5 or 6 in the past, but to come back after the mauling of the 1st leg was overwhelming. He was shaken by it, I could tell. He takes these matches against me as very important, and they often become almost grudge matches. I was rather happy and wouldn't let him forget it in a while
On the other hand though, around 3 or 4 months go, we were palying a variety of exhibition matches, I chose Arsenal for a change, he went as Man Utd (even though he is a Toon fan) and he beat me 5-0. For fucks sake, I said on repeated occasions. Everything that came my way was going in the back of the net. van Nistelrooy scored 2 to start the rout, but I was still very confident I would make a comeback with my Reyes/Henry parnership up-front providing more than 3 goals in most games. But this was no ordinary game. No lie, I had over 20 shots on target but Tim Howard stopped absolutely everything! While Lehmann was flapping at crosses, and letting weak shots in past him, Howard was like superman. 3-0, then 4 as Kolo Toure somehow heads into his own net and then Scholes hits a feeble shot past him. I start attacking like crazy, knowing that if I can get a goal he may very well start to buckle. On comes van Persie, Bergkamp & Aliadiere. Might aswell not of bothered, Howard is not going to be beaten, and to rub salt into the wounds Ryan Giggs unleashes a 30 yarder that flies into the top corner. 'I cannot belive that' claims my mate, as we view a replay of Giggs' shot once more. Damn, without a doubt the worst result I had ever had. Man Utd 5-0 Arsenal
He then chooses Newcastle as his next team, and I chose Arsenal again. Lauren plays absolutely awfully, letting Robert in behind him on numerous occasions. This time it costs Arsenal. Robert crosses it in, Toure completely miskicks the ball and Ameobi puts it in from close range. Oh well, only 1-0 down, i'll come back. All of a sudden, I find myself 2-0 down. Patrick Kluivert all too easily turns Toure inside out and finishes well. He defends well, with repeated 'BRAMBLE' shouts as he repeatedly stops Henry in his tracks. HT still 2-0, 70 mins go by, still 2-0. But I have a penalty chance as Given brings Henry down, but luckily only gets a yellow. Henry shoots, saved by Given, Henry has a chance on the rebound, in sheer panic Bramble brings down Henry again! Another penalty! But fuck it, Given saves again!! van Persie comes on for Pires. I use him as a right-winger to try something different. It pays off...van Persie delivers a great cross and Ljungberg heads it home. 2-1, around 15 mins remainin, get in!! Reyes then turns the game on its head with about 85 mins on the clock, after desperate defending for the whole match, i have drawn level! Reyes takes it past O'Brien and fires a shot past Given. Not many minutes remain and Ameobi has a chance but fortunately Sol is back there and defends solidly. I try and get a few balls into the Toon area, knowing he will panic if I get a good chance, the exact thing happens as the defence make a complete mess of it, it just richochets off Reyes and it goes in! 3-2 in the final minutes! Very fortunate goal, but a great victory after all the 'Ooh, the Arsenal fans are heading for the exits at half-time in disgust' remarks I had heading my way to piss me off
The next game, he tried to get retribution as Newcastle, but I decide to play as Aston Villa. I beat him 5-1. He then asks if I want a game of something else? Erm, ok then, yeah..
P.S. Sorry for the extremely long post, I got carried away in the magic of Pro Evo
