San Marino - The Ultimate Challenge!


Makoto Nakamura

Recommended Posts

First off: What am I doing and Why am I doing this??

I am going through all the hardest challenges this game has too offer:

  • Take a team from San Marino to win the European Champions Cup
  • Use Youth Only, no signing ANY players
  • Take the National Team to the European Championships
  • Take the National Team to the World Cup
  • Win the World Cup & European Chamiponships

And why am I doing this?

Well FM 12 has only just come out and I want to stretch it out, I want a game too last me until FM 13, and with using only Youth, I thinks that's reasonable.

Which team will I be?

I will manage Societa Sportiva San Giovanni.

Wow who the hell is Yaşar Yazıcı? :/ I've never heard of him and I'm surprised that a remota san marino team has a turkish man as a legend. Gotta look him up on the web.

On topic, insanely hard challenge, best of luck! What is that ranking you gave? The ranking of your league compared to the global leagues?

quick edit: no info on him on the net :/

Yaşar Yazıcı is the San Giovanni Assistant Manager, in last years version he was a Player/ Assistant Manager. He played for San Giovanni from 1992-2007 then he played for Cosmos for a year then became Player/ Assistant Manager until 2010 when he became just an Assistant.

And that ranking is where the league (Campionato Sammarinese) compares to the other European Leagues, right now we're sandwiched between the Greek Amateur Division - Athens & The Romanian Fourth League - Ilfov.

Youth with a sanmarinese team? Good luck and have patience. I'm betting on 200 years to win the Champions League. :D

Thanks noikeee! and I will, I'm in December already so the seasons are going to fly by until I'm back at school next Monday :D

EDIT: Wow, 13 users viewing this thread :D makes me a lil' bit happy!

We were predicted to finish dead last and we were doing pretty well, no big shocks but we finished 6th in Group A.

Inconsistency, we couldn't get a decent run of games going and ended up just missing out of qualifying for the next round.

I'm doing something similar but with the San Marino club based in the Italian league system and I will be signing players, I really wouldn't have the patience for this.

But good luck anyway, I thought my own challenge was tough!

Thanks John, good luck with your San Marino challenge :thup:

You'll be an absolute hero if you manage to complete any one of the goals you've set yourself. :eek: Can see it taking some time, even at the rate your youths have gotten better in these three seasons. Will be awesome when you start getting players called up to the San Marino senior team in the future, YP4 and YP5 look like they might have a shot at that in the future. :thup:

Started off very inconsistent losing by big margins followed by winning easily we managed to top our group and somehow get to the final but lost to Murata, who for now I shall call our bogey team.

Coppa Titano:

Group B Table - Coppa Titano Fixtures

A Bad showing this year as we couldn't make it out of the Group Stages finishing 3rd.

Squad

Again, as I probably always will, got rid of the players that played the least/ didn't play so no big changes, the first youths are breaking through even though they're still in the Youth Squad.

Key Players:

Youth Prospects:

Andrea Pedretti (YP1)- Made 20 appearances in the Youth Team but with 19 of them appearing as a sub.

Raoul Belmonte (YP2) - Has far exceeded my expectations already and the only way is up for this kid, with 21 appearances and 8 assists, he's only 17!

Giorgio Fusi (YP3) - Also joined the first team with 17 appearances, netting 6 goals aswell.

Fabio La Mura (YP4) - Only played one Youth game but i'm expecting him to have some first team games next season.

Simone Santunione (YP5) - Also only played one Youth game, might have him on as a sub some point.

Next season we get to play in the EURO Cup Second Qualifying Round, I'm hoping to use the money that we get to increase the Youth Facilities.

Dude that's totally harsh. Trabzonspor is a good team already but they are tremendously overrated by our researchers, they are the Barça of Turkey in FM12. I'll just say, let them get on the pitch without pressure and try to learn from the experience..

San Giovanni's Maiden European Voyage

8etxF.png

This is how we line up, our goalkeeper is 33, our backup is 32, 7 of the first 11 are 17 or younger, our substitutes are mainly in their mid 20's but aren't as good. Trabzonspor are 1-33 Favourites, we're 50-1 to even get a result against them..

eFYzn.png

They've decided to try and score as much as they can by going with a 4-2-3-1 formation.

YhzQH.png

We've told the players, that we're nowhere near as good as them and that the pressure is off. Game on.

04:39 - A pass covering half the ground makes an early goal for Trabzonspor, 1-0

06:49 - A drill cross to unmarked Devrim Ozen and he taps it beneath Luca Bellavista's body and into the net 2-0 Trabzonspor

10:28 - Engin Peker sprints through our defence and taps it past Luca Bellavista....3-0 Trabzonspor

12:43 - Engin Peker runs from the halfway line gets into the box crosses it to Devrim Ozen who taps it into the bottom right corner 4-0 Trabzonspor

24:24 - Luca Bellavista runs after the ball as Engin Peker runs round him and taps it in, 5-0 Trabzonspor

44:49 - Okan Acar picks up on a misplaced pass and shoots from outside the box. 6-0 Trabzonspor

46:49 (+1) - Engin Peker scores again, this time a penalty, 7-0 Trabzonspor

2nd Half:

47:00 - Baris Kirgiz hits it between 4 defenders in the box and past the keeper, 8-0 Trabonzspor

65:34 - Engin Peker goes round a defender and shoots from the tightest of angles, 9-0 Trabzonspor

69:42 - Serdar Ozkan gets shown a 2nd yellow, Trabzonspor now play with 10 men!
