No need friendlies, just go and play in a tournament! Go here and have a look yourself: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...=0#entry5885992

Alaaaaaa... tournament players also not pro maaa... still can play what... gain experience also. Just that you have to pay a bit la, but what's a bit when you can gain lots of experience? Cuba dulu, then you'll like it. I myself, before Playworks tournament, never have won any major PS2 PES5 tournaments, but finally I got 2nd place. Okay what... means the gap between players is not that huge.
