AFC Champions League 2018

My first adventure in the Asian Champions League nearly made me quit Beijing and move back home. I was all geared up and ready to play my first match when the bomb shell dropped. Half of my team were on International duty. I had NO team, but we took to the field anyway.

As you can see I had 11 players, no subs against a very good South Korean side. The worst happens on 45 mins. My Right Back gets carried off. The 2nd half we only have 10 men. To top it all off in the 83rd minute my striker joins my right back on the treatment table. 9 men.........
How we won I don't know.

Those are great shirts. And a great performance in the group stage, to boot. Well done!

Will you be jumping back into European football at the first opportunity or are you planning on keeping your Asian adventure going for a while?

Tough question there Arsenal. I'm having a great time in Asia but I wouldn't mind playing in a better standard of league. Once my Champions League is over I will decide what to do next.

It was a shame it never worked out at City, but I won't mind another shot at them some day. Loving Beijing at the moment, would really like to become an International manager soon aswell.

We can dream rancer, it's tough though because I can only field 4 out of 7 subs every game.

I'm finding it very hard to leave China, maybe because I've built up a good team that hopefully could beat anyone. I've been the front runner for every job that has come up in most of the divisions, expect the giants though. I'm taking it day by day at the moment during the off-season out here.

Not at the moment, I've got a few strikers already at the club that will step up. My major problem at the moment is that 75% of my first team all want to leave for a bigger club and won't renew there contracts.

The manager won't renew as well at the moment
