New update, guys!
UEFA Europa League
RUBIN KAZAN -
VILLARREAL 3-1
- In first half Rubin was my bitch. I don't remember they came even close to my 16m box. Still, my players were competing who will hit the corner flag or who will miss impossible. Podolski, Zarate, Dodo, Ettori and even Shimizu... they all missed a lot of chances. In second half Podolski managed to score and everything was fine, but in 80 min Rubin scored for 1-1. What to say next... I was thier bitch last 10 minutes and recievd two more... Fuc*ed up, right? I almost cried.
BARCELONA -
VILLARREAL 2-1
- Messi scored from about 20m, but his shot was so weak that I almost thought he passed the ball. I mean, come on Amos, I'm not paying you near a million to recieve goals like that. Then Fabregas scored from nice action, and after that I dont know how I survived, but in the last seconds Camacho scored for 2-1. I didn't mention earlier, but Buffon is now guarding Catalons gates.

______________________________
Final Europa League Group L Standings:
As you see, only 1 win. Honestly, I dont think I deserved next round. Rubin made me big favor in last round by winning HJK Helsinki.
Standings:
Pretty good, ha?
It's half season now, and it's singing time. I don't have big budget available (about 500,00 only) so will be searching for a young, talented players within my range. And I find two of them. Since my left back Ruskin is not kinda player who can do a significant job on my left side, I decided to search for a replacement.
17 year old Tafforeau caught me eye from youth academy. I picked him as he have special ability of early crossing and decent playmaking numbers along side with good defending ability, and since Ruskin lack of good crosses this buy is must have. And I signed him.
Second player is 17 year old Luciano, but not from youth academy. I was searching for another midfielder, but who is much stronger on his feets and have good speed. On my surprise I find this kinda player. Luciano have *76 overall and was wanted by many clubs. I offered 350,00 with the same amount of salary and he picked my team.
Tafforeau will definitely be in first 11 now as he have much better numbers than my current LB Ruskin. Hope he will show his class.
Podolski is performin great, and more than that. He is in top 5 scorers in Liga BBVA with 11 goals scored. Benzema is 1st with 16 goals. So, buying him was one of my best moves so far, but not the only best move. As you know from previos update I said that Romaldinho is doing amazing job. He is. Unfortunately his growth is not going well as he dropped by 2 points in overall, but on the pitch he is one of the main players. With great sense for finding gaps in the opponent defense he scored 4 goals so far. I like that kinda players like Romaldinho and Shimizu who are midfielders, but often they find themselves in the opponent 16m which mostly result as a goal
So, my team is doing well, but a lot of players are "voicing discontent". I'm trying to rotate my squad depending on players form.
I do that cause:
1: They will underperform if they're not in "green zone" or above (arrows)
2: They might get easily injured, like Shimizu did.
And plus that everybody have chance to show their best. Transfer window is still open and I'm hoping that someone will bid for my players as I saw that Zarate and Ettori are watched by few teams. But for them only loan is acceptable.
Soon more updates.
Cheers!
