davidmcain Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Santos Facilities 25120 Vila Belmiro (20000 Seated) Top Training Facilities State of the Art Youth Facilities Finances 670k Balance 200k Transfer Budget 160k/180k Wages 1.6m at 22k per month until 2020 History Santos are best known as the home club of the worlds finest ever player, Pele. Santos have won the First Division twice, as well as the Taca Brazil(Old First Division) five times. As well as this they have also won 2 Intercontinental Cups, 2 Copa Libertadores, 17 Sao Paulo Champs, 4 Rio-Sao Paulo Champs. Santos were a dominant force in the early 1960's defeating all comers, and winning several titles in this era. They experienced a resurgence in th mid 2000's with a star studded team which included Diego, Robinho, Elano, and Alex. Targets This Season Build a young team for the future Sao Paulo State – Semi Finals First Division – Top 4 Brazilian Cup – Quarter Finals Targets Long Term Team built from homegrown talents Keep the same players for many years Brand New Stadium Win every competition Tactical Approach I will look to play a very attacking brand of football with a "you score 4, i'll score 5" mentality. The team should be youthful and athletic, with lots of Pace across the pitch and outstanding technical ability. The setup will consist of a Sweeper Keeper, two quick centre backs playing high up the pitch, attacking wingbacks, two centre mids who will create the goals, a pair of Messi-esque wingers, and two quick strikers. This wont happen overnight though, with the aging squad i've inherited. Best XI Fabio Costa – 30 – 7 seasons at the club Fabiano Eller - 30 – New Signing from Atl. Madrid (1 Cap) Betao – 31 – New Signing from Okoyama FC Para- 21- New from Santo Andre Leo – 32 – Rejoined from Benfica (7 caps), Roberto Brum – 29 – new from Braga Lucio Flavio – 28 – new from Botofogo Mauricio Molina – 27 – Red Star (12caps/1goal Colombia) Luis Bolanos – 23 – LDU Quito (6 Caps Ecuador) Kleber Pereira – 32 – 1 year 26/16 last year Maikon Leite – 19 – new from Santo Andre Promising Youth Felipe – GK – on loan at Parana Tiago Luis and Neymar – Future Strike force Paulo Henrique – Midfield Playmaker Diego Monar – Center back Vitor Junior 21 playmaker in Japan on loan Transfers Bruno Moraes – 23 ST Porto 10k (arrives in August) Barreto AMRL - 22ST Udinese 45k (arrives in August) Enzo Scorza – 19 ST 19 Youth Caps/1 goal for Uruguay (Rotation Striker) Elder Granja – 25 RWB Palmeiras (first choice RWB) Mauricio – 17 AML ST (ineligible this year) ex-Fluminense Roberto – 28 GK ex Botofogo - will compete with Fabio Costa for the #1 jersey 1.075M deadwood was sold to raise funds for future purchases Paulo Henrique, Diego Monar, Tiago Luis were all loaned to Sao Caetano for first team experience. Results Mogi Mirim H 2-0 Kleber Pereira(2) Paulista H 3-2 Roni(2) Fabiano Eller Guaranitangueta A 4-2 Adriano(2), Maikon Leite, Rodrigo Souto Santo Andre A 2-1 Kleber Pereira, Molina Sao Caetano H 4-0 Molina(2), Bolanos, Lucio Flavio Ituano A 1-0 Bolanos Mirassol H 2-0 Bolanos, Molina Guarani A 0-0 Palmeiras H 1-2 Rodrigo Souto Treze A 3-0 Madson(2), Rodrigo Souto Marilia A 3-0 Maikon Leite(2),Domingos Treze H 7-0 Kleber P.(3), Lucio Flavio(2), Maikon Leite, Bolanos Botofogo SP A 0-0 Sao Paulo H 0-0 Portuguesa A 3-3 Domingos, Bolanos, Kleber Pereira Figueirense A 2-1 Lucio Flavio, Madson Barueri H 1-3 Fabao Bragantino A 2-0 Bolanos, Domingos Noroeste A 1-0 Roberto Brum Figuierense H 2-0 Domingos, Para Ponte Preta H 1-0 Rodrigo Souto Unfortunatly, we're haemorraging money, the Finances have dropped to -1.2m despite taking 5k off the wage budget. We're still alive in Cup, into the third round against ABC, so maybe a deep run is possible in this competition We're 3rd in the league with 2 games left, 6 points behind Palmeiras and Sao Paulo but through to the semifinals. These guys look a bit better than us though so we may have to be content with making the Semis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmcain Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 April-July 2008 Young Striker Moraes was loaned to Sao Caetano after impressing for the reserves. I had planned to sell him but maybe he's better than I thought. Anyway the results for the rest of the league were: Oeste H 1-1 Fabiano Eller Corinthians A 1-2 Adailton Which left the points situation looking like this (just sneaked in the top 4 as I hoped): Sao Paulo 49, Palmeiras 47, Corinthians Santos 38, Portuguesa 37 Sao Paulo(SEMI) H 2-4 Adailton, Lucio Flavio ABC (CUP) H 4-0 Kleber Pereira, Elder Granja, Domingos, Rodri Souto Sao Paulo(SEMI) A 3-3 Leo, Fabiano Eller, Kleber Pereira ABC (CUP) A 2-0 Leo, Kleber Pereira So we were knocked out in the Semis, but the squad isnt ready yet in my opinion, dont have the right mix of players, too much age, not enough pace. Sao Paulo 2-1 Corinthians (agg.) in the final. Top Scorers : Washington (Sao Paulo) Christian (Portuguesa) 8, Tiago Luis O/L to Sao Caetano) 7 Bolanos, Kleber Pereira 5 A few of our guys topped the statistics though Luis Bolanos 9 Assists, 7.48 Av Rating, 5 MOM, Domingos 5.60 tackles per game Portuguesa's Preto won best player, ahead of Palmeiras' Diego Souza, and our own Luis Bolanos. Souza took out the Young Player award ahead of our man Bolanos as well. Vitoria (CUP) A 1-0 Domingos Palmeiras H 3-1 Kleber Pereira, Madson, OG Vasco H 3-0 Bolanos, Lucio Flavio, Kleber Pereira Vitoria (CUP) H 1-1 Madson Vitoria A 1-2 Elder Granja S. Recife A 3-2 Madson, Fabiano Eller, OG Cruzeiro H 1-1 Domingos A. Mineiro (CUP) H 3-2 Elder Grnaja, Leo, Kleber Pereira Flumininse A 1-0 Maikon Leite A.Mineiro (CUP)A 1-2 Lucio Flavio (lost on away goals) Coritiba A 0-3 A. Paranaense H 0-0 So after all that, were 4th in league after 8 rounds. Happy with the cup run, but should have beat Atletico Miniero Finances stand at -900k which is okay, a couple of higher earning reserves have been moved on. But now its full focus on the league, with a couple of key signings to be made very soon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmcain Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Part Three At Miniero 3-1 Cruzeiro(agg) Kleber Pereira 6 goals, Luis Bolanos 7 assists Gremio H 2-0 Lucio Flavio Botafogo A 3-1 Bolanos(2), OG Nautico A 2-1 Maikon Leite, Kleber Pereira Figueirense H 4-3 Maikon Leite, Rtiguinho, Roberto Brum, Elder Granja Goias A 3-3 Bolanos, Neymar, Roberto Brum Sao Paulo H 2-0 Domingos, Maikon Leite Atl. Mineiro A 0-1 Flamengo H 3-0 Lucio Flavio(2), Bolanos Neymar loaned to Vila Nova(GO) Portuguesa A 5-4 Lucio Flavio(2), Roberto Brum, Domingos, Breitner Internacional A 2-4 Lucio Flavio, Bolanos Ipatinga H 6-0 K.Pereira(2), L.Flavio, Bolanos, Domingos, R.Brum Vasco A 4-0 Maikon Leite(2), Domingos, Adailton Unhappy CM Rodrigo Souto sold for 2m to Rennes 22yo CM Romeu bought from Fluminense to take his place in the squad. He looks to be of similar ability, so we made a nice 1.8m profit here. Vitoria H 1-0 Maikon Leite Palmeiras A 3-1 Adriano, Elder Granja, Lucio Flavio Sport Recife H 1-0 Domingos Fluminense H 3-1 Lucio Flavio, Adriano, Elder Granja Cruzeiro A 1-2 Kleber Pereira After 25 Games Santos lead on 54 points, Sao Paulo have 53, Internacional have 51. Then theres a break to Cruzeiro in 4th on 44 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmcain Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 October-December Gremio A 2-1 Breitner, Kleber Pereira Coritiba H 4-2 Fabiano Eller(2), Madson, Kleber Pereira A. Paranaense A 5-3 Maikon Leite(2), Fabao(2), Adailton Botafogo H 2-1 Kleber Pereira, Adriano Nautico H 3-1 Kleber Pereira(2), Lucio Flavio Figueirense A 1-0 Bolanos At the end of a perfect October we find ourselves up in front with a great chance at the title. With 7 games to play we are on 72 points, with Sao Paulo back on 63, and Internacional on 57. This was totally unexpected as we were shooting for 4th, so to have the title in our grasp, I’m over the moon. I’ve also been awarded a three year extension, so this just the start of the road. Goias H 3-0 Kleber Pereira(2), Fabiano Eller Flamengo A 3-2 Lucio Flavio(2), Elder Granja Sao Paulo A 0-1 At. Mineiro H 1-0 Kleber Pereira Internacional H 1-0 Madson Madson’s goal against Internacional has sealed the title for us with two games to spare. This caps of of 10 wins in our last 11 games, and the title is well deserved. Young Tiago Luis finished runner up in the award for Young Player of the Year in the Division Two, netting 23 times over the year. Ipatinga A 1-2 Scorza Portuguesa H 4-1 Lucio Flavio(2), Madson(2) So as it ends up we won by 8 points. We racked up 87, ahead of Sao Paulo on 79 and then Internacional on 69. Lucio Flavio won top scorer with 16 strikes from midfield, Kleber Pereira was runner up on 14. Bolanos was excellent with 19 assists and the highest average rating in the league. Domingos led the league in tackling. The guys picked up a number of awards: Lucio Flavio – Top Scorer, Best Player, Team of the Year Maikon Leite – 3rd best Young Player Luis Bolanos – Runner Up Goal of the year. Midfielder of the year Domingos – Team of the Year I was the winner of the Manager of the Year award Finances still aren’t great though, we’re now 2.6m in the red. Hopefully we’ll get a bit of sponsorship money at the start of next year or sales might need to be made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmcain Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 January-March 2009 Bolanos won South American Footballer of the Year and the “Internet Voting Player of the Year” – strange award. The lad could be very hard to hold onto, and I made it a double, winning Manager of the Year. A couple of guys made South American Team of the Year, Bolanos of course and Lucio Flavio. We made a cool 11m in sponsorship money, to take us to 9m in the black. Our generous board has give me 2m to spend. Younsters Paulo Henrique, Mauricio, Neymar and Enzo Scorza were sent to Sao Caetano while Diego Faria and Breitner were sent to Portuguesa Santista. A few fringe players were sold to raise funds for an assault on the transfer market. The most notable being Fabao to CSKA, Kleber Pereira to Willem II, Roberto Brum to Palmeiras. All these guys were in their early 30’s and we’ve got younger options available here. We made 2.6m overall and now have 4.5m to spend and 25k breathing space under our wage budget. 1.1m man Ailton came in from FC Kobenhavn, he looks good for a lot of goals. And Leonardo came in from Vitoria Guimaraes in Portugal for 550k. He looks a great option down the right wing with his pace, dribbling and crossing. Best XI GK – Roberto – 29yo signed on a free last year and made 29 appearances. CB – Adailton – 25yo has made 71 appearances since joining from Rennes. CB – Domingos - 23yo academy product with 113 games for the club. WBR – Elder Granja – 26yo signed for free – 49 apps last year. Ex-academy WBL – Leo – 33yo captain – holds club record 233 appearances. CM – Adriano – 21yo academy product has 66 appearances to his name. CM – Lucio Flavio 29yo has appeared 57 times for the side RW – Leonardo – 22yo is a new signing from Vitoria Guimaraes LW – Luis Bolanos – 23yo Ecuador international played 52 times last year ST – Maikon Leite – 20yo 48 games for 12 goals, joined from Santo Andre ST – Ailton – 23yo new purchase from FC Kobenhave Ponte Preta H 2-1 Moraes, Bolanos Portuguesa A 1-3 Breitner, Ailton, Moraes Mirassol H 7-0 Diego Monar(3), Leo(2), Tiago Luis, Adriano Corinthians A 3-0 Domingos, Madson, OG Oeste H 3-0 Moraes, Ailton, OG Sao Caetano A 3-2 Moraes (2), Ailton We also discovered we would be playing in the Copa Libertadores this year, rather than the Brazilian Cup, maybe we could achieve some Continental glory? Santo Andre A 1-0 Ailton Noroeste A 1-1 Maikon Leite Atl Sorocaba H 4-1 Molina(2), Moraes, Domingos Ituano H 2-0 Leonardo, Domingos Monterrey A 3-0 Elder Granja, Maikon Leite, Leo Sao Paulo H 0-3 Mogi Mirim A 1-0 Tiago Luis Palmeiras H 3-0 Leonardo, Moraes, Tiago Luis Cucuta H 5-0 Domingos(2), Bolanos, Leonardo, OG Juventus(SP) A 0-0 Nacional A 4-1 Domingos, Leonardo, Tiago Luis, OG Rio Branco(SP) A 6-0 D. Monar(2), Romeu, E.Granja, Bolanos, Vitor Junior Botafogo(SP) A 2-1 Vitor Junior, Elder Granja Barueri A 3-0 Domingos, Leo, Fabiano Eller Forms been excellent this season. In the Libertadores we’ve taken maximum points from three games so qualification seems a formality. Domestically, we’re through to the semis with three games to spare, though only goal difference separates the top three. As far as the finances go we’ve got 7m in the bank, and we’re turning a wee profit most months. We lost 1m last month though due to a staff overhaul, but this should pay off with better youngsters coming through I hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
