Hattrick Press Release #12

Wolves Prepared For Sunday

Wolves fans showed displeasure today at Jon R, as he spoke candidly about the coming league match against The Goalmakers.

“We are not going to win, end of story; even coming away with a point will be a most unlikely scenario. I’d be happy if we scored a goal against what is a very strong side.”

“I am amazed at The Goalmakers current league position. I thought they would be in the running for promotion. Still, three points for them this Sunday may give them the boost they need.”

12th Level Elk Fooled By 30th Level Backpack

It’s not often, certainly not in the general media, that video games get seen in a positive light. It was nice, then, to see Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, report the recent elk attack on a 12-year old boy (there is a link here, just be a bit patient).

Hans Jørgen Olsen and his sister were out in the woods in the north of Norway, when an aggressive elk started to chase them. Hans’ sister ran, but plucky Hans tried to scare the animal without much success, as the elk continued the chase, eventually horning him in the backpack.

As the unfortunate, exhausted Hans lay there, probably thinking about the probability of such an event actually occurring, his mind turned to World Of Warcraft. Said Hans:

When you become level 30 you learn the skill “Feign Death”, so that’s what I did: lay down and played dead. After a little while the elk went away.

I wish I knew enough about WoW to make some witty comment here, since it’s begging for it, but I can’t. Damn my lack of time.

Wolves Speak Out

This Sunday Wolves, currently 4th, meet 3rd place Zorken FF, and Jon R was unusually confident at a press conference today.

“Zorken FF have played 4, with 3 matches being against inexperienced teams. Their league-position is inflated by this, but they now face six consecutive very tough games.”

“I’m confident this will play out as we expect, and we’ll come away with 3 points.”

Jon R will not want to eat his words, as fans agreed a victory this weekend is both necessary and definite.

Fans Nervosity Assuaged

Jon R was seen a happier man after Wolves’ 3-1 victory over MM,M yesterday.

“We managed to get two early goals, which gave us the confidence to play the rest of the match at our pace. We lagged a bit in the second half, but the lads kept it together, despite our having had the wrong training tactics for a few weeks.”

“It was an important win today. MM,M had already won their first match, and we were bottom of the table after ours. Two defeats would have been a bad situation to play from.”

A Tough Weekend

Wolves are gearing up for a difficult match with MM,M this Sunday.

Manager, Jon R: “There have been a few changes in their team, with a stronger defence, especially central defender Josefsson, who will cause our attack problems.”

“It looks to be a much improved team than last season, and I’d put money on it being a very even, and tough, match. Formation could be the deciding factor.”
