Dear Butcher's and Grasshoppers: the highly anticipated "Derby" between Butcher's and GH was a match full of speed, talent andadrenaline for the all 90 minutes. Coached Joerg Klinsmann and Joshua Mourhino gave all their best efforts to put the best team on the pitch. Mr. Joerg Klismann gave a "4-4-2" "catenaccio" style team set up with the surprise apperance of Mr. Rao " o animal"back on the defence with Alexander, big Steve on the right and Gary "Linaker" on the left, Greg "The engine" and Ivan "il terribile" on the midfield together with Sandro. Tobias and Manuel as star strikers. Butcher's confidence was very high follow few consecutives victories and coach Joshua Mourinho decided for anattacking 4-4-3. 2": it's Tobias with a full speed run from the right that warned young keeper Raj what it will be a nightmare afternoonfor the talented keeper. 4": it's GH finding the net first with Tobias fast counter attack and a stylish finish. Butcher 0-Garsshoppers 1. 11": the match speed has increased with few "solo" shots from both team strikers, but it is Mr. Lim that gave the 2 0 lead with a tricky corner kick, leaving the Butcher's defence astonished. 14": Chris "the Puma" Harding is having his best day as few great saves left the GH still 2 0 up on the game. 28": a shocking counter attack gave GH another goal with Tobias and Lim having time to drink a "Cappuccino"in front of keeper Raj before scoring the 3-0 for GH.Until that moment GH midfielders Greg "Cambiasso" and Alex "Brehme" were working greatly together leaving the Butcher's star midfielder Sven wondering around the pitch. 35": the light out of the tunnel came from Lorenzo (Iceman) with a solo effort goal that gave a bit of confidence boost to the Butchers. 44": the last 10 minutes of the first half was a terrible pressing from Butchers until Taha "Zizou" found another winning header with a perfect cross from Shaun "Wright-Phillips". First Half: Butchers 2-Grassshoppers 3. Joerg Klinsmann was ready to "unleash" Kurt the Cat and Angelo to give more weight on GH's strikers. First 10 minutes of the 2nd half saw Butchers hard pressing to find the equalizer with Javad, Taha, Sven, Diliban finding impossible spaces in the tight GH defence 12": It's again a counter attack from GH and a perfect pass from Angelo that gave the 4-2 lead to GH scored by Sandro. Few calls to Euro Deli were made to order beers and sausages for a celebration but the time was not right yet. 29": "Iceman" corner from left became a goal as Chris "The Puma" could not save the ball from going inside the net. 35": Butchers lost Taha "Zizou" for an injury, and the all midfield was on Sven's, Javad, Shaun and David shoulders. 43": It's from Butcher's superstar midfield Sven that came the equalizer with a powerful shot with a slight deflectionthat caught the Puma not ready to jump in the opposite side for a save. After few more passes the ref decided that the match was over, with a relief for all the players that run for 90 minuteswith 36C temperature. Bravo to all the players for an entertained match played with fairplay!!!.
