The first round of the top eight was quite tense, with Iaan eventually winning 1-0, in other words, the pressure will be on Ainas in the next round.
Ainas should have been able to at least finish with the game when they visited Iaan in the first round, but Iaan's keeper Elsha made a couple of incredible saves, one of which went further to stop the attack of Ronaldo the Kistani Slave. Ailsa will be sure to deliver another top level performance this time around, and he will be quite busy with the matter at hand.
With Telesca out with an injury, I expect Shadiovanni to play on the left flank and Odavio to play a free agent like role behind Cristiano Ronaldo. These 3 players are the key for Ainas to get back on track, and it will be the job of Shadiovanni and Odavio to create goalscoring chances for Cron, the Portuguese striker.
The bad news before the Ainas game was that Parky needed to be suspended for the first round as he won the red in the first round, which will give hope to Aaan as I was impressed with their front line attacking performance in the first round.
Among Iaan's attackers, Sufian Rahimi and Kagu were the most eye-catching in their ability to intelligently create openings, go behind each other's backs and link up with each other very well.
In fact, both of them know each other's habits and kicking style very well. In the first round of the tournament, Kakou delivered a great assist for Sufian Rahimy. With the absence of Naphtaldi, and if Iaan can make accurate transmissions during the transition between offense and defense, these two players can pose a big problem to the defense of Ainas.
Being a very cohesive team, Iaan will also target Ainas' weaknesses. In my opinion, they will be able to draw with Ainas in this battle and force a stop on Kistanno Ronaldo and his teammates as 8.
