Our Taiwanese-Swedish Superstar
Okay, I’ll admit it. Signing Miguel Sandberg was mostly a meme.
He’s a Swedish-born player who just so happens to be the only star player on Taiwan’s international squad. When I discovered him, I simply had to have him on my squad.
And, boy, did he ever reward me in this one.
Sandberg scored a hat trick in a rare start, lifting us over Beijing Sports University. We won by a 5-2 scoreline, though the game wasn’t really that close.
We dominated everything. We had 61% of the possession, 32 shots, and an xG of 4.16. The two goals we gave up were mostly fluke goals. I blame them on Liu Shaoziyang’s lack of attention in this match.
Sandberg added on 2 assists to go with his hat trick, helping both Patrik Gustavsson and Jacob Dicko Eng appear on the scoreboard.
Our backup team is so good that we can rest our stars without any worries about dropping a match we should have won. It really is a good place to be.
Xinjiang Tianshan Leopard
We’re up at home against another pitiful team. It’s another match that we really should be winning without much of problem.
We do need to worry about squad rotation again, though. We play on the road against Shenzhen in the next round of the Chinese FA Cup a week after this one is complete.
Hopefully we’ll get another good performance from our rotated side.
