San Marino - The Ultimate Challenge!

March 7th - Youth Candidate Day

We now have "State of the art" Youth Facilities so now just to get the training facilities up to scratch but things are already looking up as we had 4-5 potential first team players come through!

**Goldhawk** · 13-01-2012 20:36

Holy balls, that's a good intake.

**Shake Appeal** · 13-01-2012 21:43

There's actually a message you get when a major injury destroys a player's future; one of your backroom staff or physios reports they will never reach their potential or something like that. If you didn't see that, you're golden.

**BurnCM4X** · 13-01-2012 21:44

keep in mind that the star system depends on how good your top players are... If your top player went away it's possible that your scouts consider a new player 4.5 stars when before they would call it a 3.5 star player.

Oh well thank god I didn't get that message, atleast I don't remember getting it.

Being as none of my best players have gone yet I'll take it as quite a good thing

Both of these players are leaving at the end of the season, Remo to Tre Penne with 194 goals currently under his belt and Alberto is going to Virtus.

Just read the whole thread there now, brilliant thread! Hoping to see you do better in the CL

**deltablue** · 13-01-2012 23:37

Pity seeing legends depart.

**Johnny Drama** · 13-01-2012 23:42

Gutted to see Remo leave!

**Goldhawk** · 14-01-2012 19:19

Makoto; i've just gained a huge amount more respect for how far you've come. I'm a few games off the end of my second season with this Norwegian team and the regens I'm getting are HORRIFIC, two seasons and no-one that will be in the team long term I don't think. At what stage of youth facilities/junior coaching did you start producing decent players?

Thanks! I can see us stagnating in last of the Group Stages for a while now but atleast we get almost £700,000 for getting there which helps our facilities.

Yea, it's gonna be a shame without him, hopefully Enrico & Nicolas (YP24) can take over although Enrico is very injury prone.

I didn't get to improve the facilities until we got into Europe, until then it was a bit up and down in performances, I think you'd need to get a few decent cup runs in to get the money needed, it took me 7-8 years before I got a noticeable change in Youth quality, but now they're getting better and better, just stick with it!

**Goldhawk** · 14-01-2012 20:58

8 seasons??!!?!

What have I let myself in for!, Haha.

**Jpr** · 14-01-2012 21:42

Attempting something similar in Slovakia now, can't get out of the second division though xD

Good luck next season in CL, good little striker there too from your latest batch, hope his Argentine roots start to show!

I'm thinking about doing it as well, but would probably be best doing it in a league where you can't get relegated.

Edit:

Started a career with the Singapore league the only league loaded. Just going to hope a club will approach me, if not, I'll have to select a club for myself. Thinking it might be harder in Asia with less money for the Asian CL?

**markyosullivan** · 14-01-2012 23:15

Makoto is your staff only your former players? Or do you appoint any staff to your club?

San Giovanni - Campionato Sammarinese - 2031/32

League Table
League Positions Graph
Domestic Fixtures

Another pretty good season, will probably never get an unbeaten season though with the amount of players leaving us either through transfers or refusal to sign contracts.

Coppa Titano - Another Cup win, what else to say, it's part of the wallpaper now.

European Champions Cup - Qualifying was good, but the group stage was absolutely abysmal, capped off by a 10-0 loss to A.C Milan.

Squad - Our small squad is just getting smaller and smaller now, I hope they can keep going strong.

Finances - Still going up from European revenue, almost at £15,000,000 now.

Youth Players:

Remo Aielli (YP12) - Joining Tre Penne

Angelo Perra (YP13)

Fabio Bernandini (YP14) - Refused to renew contract, leaving on a free transfer.

Antonio Stanzione (YP15)

Antonello Carraro (YP16) - Refused to renew contract, leaving on a free transfer.

Antonio Costanzo (YP17)

Michele Centofanti (YP18) - Joining West Ham, first Sammarinese player to play outside of Italy & San Marino.

Boris Oddo (YP19)

Pasquale Missiroli (YP20)

Donato Cursio (YP21)

Rino Alizzi (YP22)

Enrico Chiodo (YP23)

Nicolas Marinelli (YP24)

Best of luck in Slovakia, I've never played in those leagues personally, I actually holidayed 4 seasons without saving earlier whilst I was at a friends and he turned out very very good, so hopefully it will happen with me playing properly.

Good luck in Singapore, I'd say it would be harder on the money side, but slightly easier on the fact that there are less "giant" clubs in Asia.

I still have the original staff other than I signed Samuel Eto'o when my first manager messed up and Yazar Yazici walked out and I needed an Assistant, also with the addition of Raoul Belmonte as a coach now.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 15-01-2012 12:56

This sorta sums up the vast difference in quality, and the fact that we have a very weak team compared to recent years.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 15-01-2012 14:04

Our first ever Champions League point!

**cragswfc** · 15-01-2012 14:33

glad you got the point you wanted

**HotChocolate** · 15-01-2012 15:01

Nice to see the badges

Nice to see you pick up a point

Nice to see you score against Barcelona!

Hang on, I don't have three thumbs

**Makoto Nakamura** · 15-01-2012 15:11

Thanks both of you

but here is something way, way better!

I've changed tactic from a 4-2-4 to the flat 4-4-2

The downside is that we may have ended Waweru's career.

**Jpr** · 15-01-2012 15:21

That guy you injured is immense! Hopefully you start churning those players out soon, nice results in Europe too!

**Anost** · 15-01-2012 15:34

Just want to say fantastic thread. Can't wait to see you get into last 16 of Euro or Champs league.

March 8th - Youth Candidate Day

**Jpr** · 15-01-2012 17:45

Bressan has some decent mental and physicals already, not to mention how useful it is having a RL defender in the team, hopefully he develops

**markyosullivan** · 17-01-2012 18:23

Any chance of an update on the latest youth players who are breaking into your first team?

Bressan looks the best out of them 3.

**deltablue** · 17-01-2012 18:26

What a result against Barca!

**markyosullivan** · 22-01-2012 17:16

Any chance of an update?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 22-01-2012 19:48

Probably no updates for a while, I have exams every couple of weeks from now until the end of April so updates will most likely be sparce and far between as I need to get my grades up... :/

**SRL88** · 22-01-2012 19:52

Great result against PSG

.

**Hellcattt** · 28-01-2012 19:29

Great to see that you're back. I have a question, how can I make the player screen go straight to Attributes, not Profile page?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 01-02-2012 22:20

**Makoto Nakamura** · 01-02-2012 22:25

I have exams, since I last updated I've had 1 English, 2 French (speaking & writing) and on the 7th I have 3 science mocks so I'm still quite busy :P

You raise our hopes just to dash them!

I have exams too at the moment so yes FM time is limited here also

**arinceo** · 01-02-2012 22:45

What are your coaches like? You definitely have the money to get some top coaches so do you? Or do you use retired players from your team?

Other than my assistant Samuel Eto'o, all the backroom staff are the same as when I started, and Raoul Belmonte has turned into a pretty good coach too

**Rikulec** · 10-02-2012 11:08

How did you convince Eto'o to come to San Marino?

**Dave.** · 10-02-2012 12:00

Wow, what an incredible career. Considering I'm doing something similar, this is both inspiring humiliating - I thought I was doing well but THIS, this is how it's done. Incredible career so far, keep this going man!

**Makoto Nakamura** · 10-02-2012 16:30

From what I remember, there was some backrrom advice with Samuel Eto'o being a recommended Ass Man, he accepted the money offered, and the rest is history

Thanks Dave! Best of luck with your Sammarinese conquest

**JackJCFC** · 10-02-2012 16:36

I had a quick read of the last 2 pages of this thread yesterday but i shall have a proper read of it this weekend. You look like your making great progress anyway so keep up the good work.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 10-02-2012 16:47

Another year, and another hard Group Draw. Yippeee.

**Johnny Drama** · 10-02-2012 18:06

That is a very harsh draw!

**deltablue** · 10-02-2012 18:20

Yoah, thats hard.

**Dave.** · 10-02-2012 19:25

Ouch! That couldn't really be a lot worse...

**Makoto Nakamura** · 10-02-2012 20:44

Remember the time that we were dominant? Times are changing.....

**TWFL** · 10-02-2012 20:53

Wow. How good are they European standard wise? Any qualified for the group stages of CL or EL?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 10-02-2012 21:01

Well for the teams that qualified for European Competition:

Tre Fiori:

EURO Cup 1st Qual Round - Tre Fiori 2-0 Ordabasy
EURO Cup 2nd Qual Round - Tre Fiori 1-1a B36

Folgore:

EURO Cup 2nd Qual Round - Folgore 1-6 Ajax

Tre Penne:

EURO Cup 3rd Qual Round - Tre Penne 1-4 Fram (ISL)

From what I can tell, no other Sammarinese team has made it to the Group Stages.

**Arkas** · 10-02-2012 21:31

Wow that doesn't look good. Anyway i hope your intakes will be a bit better so you can compete against the other league teams which probably bought some good foreigners/

**Makoto Nakamura** · 10-02-2012 21:45

Results seemed to have turned around now, we narrowly lost 3-2 at home to Roma!

Also, here is I think the best player or one of the best players in the league:

**BurnCM4X** · 10-02-2012 22:16

What a great player.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 10-02-2012 22:41

Hmm...does that mean we could get 2 Youth Intake days, or what?

**deltablue** · 10-02-2012 22:43

Double your chances of good youth, and looks like the league is getting much better players.

**Jpr** · 10-02-2012 23:51

Great progress, good that others are starting to compete, hopefully doesn't hinder your European conquests too much!

**BurnCM4X** · 11-02-2012 04:10

Nop, that means you will have a game with free transfers that no one bids. (Normally means crappy players)

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 09:18

March 8th - Youth Candidate Day

Another good year for intakes, we finally got a couple of defenders through!

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 09:36

Remember this guy? ^^

Well here he is now, still going strong aged 33:

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 18:45

Overtaken Remo and looks like he could reach 100 caps for San Marino! Also, take note of the goals scored

**JackJCFC** · 11-02-2012 18:52

Looks like hes smashing it, how many goals does he have for you in total? also, how old is he?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 18:57

He has 141 league goals in total and turned 30 5 days ago, in total Angelo has scored 218 goals, catching up to Remos' total of 300 goals.

And after all that he finished tied as the clubs top goalscorer this season, tieing with an 18 year old!

**deltablue** · 11-02-2012 19:12

Good to see you getting defenders.

San Giovanni - Campionato Sammarinese - 2033/34

League Table
League Positions Graph
Domestic Fixtures

A very poor start to the season ruined our chances of winning the Group Stages, thankfully we picked up alot towards the end and managed to win the Championship Final to guarantee Champions League football again.

Coppa Titano - A bit closer this year, beating Tre Fiori 2-1 in the Final.

European Champions Cup - We had very tough opposition again, but managed to keep the amount of goals down to a reasonable level for a club of our "standards".

Squad - A good squad now, and with the defenders coming up in a couple of years it can only get better!

Finances - £14,300,000 in the bank, our training facilities were downgraded so have to pay to have them re-upgraded.

**JackJCFC** · 11-02-2012 20:08

Not a bad season at all, hard to ask much in europe with a group like that. What standard are you facilities at now then?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 20:26

We have;
Basic Corporate Facilities
Good Training Facilities (Expansion in progress, completion due 20.9.2034)
State of the Art Youth Facilities
Exceptional Junior Coaching
Minimal Youth Recruitment

Also noticing that a few other teams in the league are starting to improve there Youth & Training Facilities.

**JackJCFC** · 11-02-2012 20:29

Pretty good. Its a shame you cant get the youth recruitment up, i'm having the same problem. I think its down to how high your rivals have it, although im not 100% sure on that.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 20:53

I don't think we can get more than 4 teams qualifying for Europe?

**JackJCFC** · 11-02-2012 21:01

Fair play league?

**SRL88** · 11-02-2012 21:26

That was a very, very tough Champions League group. You done well to score a goal. Best of luck next season

.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 21:33

Thats Enrico's 11th injury...he's only 19 years old

**JackJCFC** · 11-02-2012 21:35

Seems like hes a lost cause? whats his potential, maybe its time to cash in?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 21:44

2 1/2* CA 5* PA, Guess I should transfer list him...he only got 4 games last season

**JackJCFC** · 11-02-2012 21:47

Yeah he'll never reach his PA with injuries like that affecting his game time, at least he's young so his price is slightly inflated. Whats he worth?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 21:49

He's only worth £150,000 I personally think that he should be worth alot more than he is worth.

**Makoto Nakamura** · 11-02-2012 23:32

Well Europe's come for another year, most likely another year with 0 points, can't see us getting anything off of CSKA Moscow.

**Valo** · 12-02-2012 00:51

Brilliant thread mate, inspiring stuff!

**Makoto Nakamura** · 12-02-2012 10:00

Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying it!

A bit of an international update there...San Marino, topping a qualifying group?!? admittedly they were wins against the bottom 2 teams, but still!

**SRL88** · 12-02-2012 10:05

Fantastic start for San Marino in Qualifying!!!

You might be able to get a point out of your Champions League group.

**nickdc** · 12-02-2012 10:08

Hey Makota, I've just read all the way through. Great thread.

Couple of questions. Why has it taken so long to have your training facilities upgraded? And would you rule out re-signing former youth prospects on a free? And when is that San Marino job coming up? I've only seen U19.

Cheers

Unfortunately after 2 games we have a GD of -10, 0 socred, 10 conceded, 5-0 losses both games.

Also, another update for now the most travelled and also most expensive Sammarinese player, Michele Centofanti (YP18)!

Couple of questions. Why has it taken so long to have your training facilities upgraded? And would you rule out re-signing former youth prospects on a free? And when is that San Marino job coming up? I've only seen U19.

Cheers

Thanks Nick!

I would rule out re-signing my old Youth players since it would count as signing someone, and I focused the money on getting my Youth Facilities up first so it's only recently that my Training Facilities have been improved, and now I have "Top training Facilities"

The San Marino expectations have always been quite low so I'm thinking that it will be around 7 years until the San Marino job becomes available as the current manager is 60.

With the training facilities only recently coming good, do you think the first team squad have suffered for that?
Also, for the SM job, you could always negatively comment on the manager, try and force him out? Would that work?

**Makoto Nakamura** · 12-02-2012 10:24

I think that some of the first team haven't completely reached their potential but almost all of them have, and we only have 4 players over the age of 25 so the training hasn't been too bad.

I could try and force him out but I don't really want the National Team Job yet, I'd rather complete the domestic side of the challenge before starting the International side.

Can they not run simultaneously? Or do you have to give up your baby?!

**Makoto Nakamura** · 12-02-2012 10:44

They can run simultaneously but I'd rather focus on being a purely club manager first before becoming the San Marino NT manager.

And once I become the National Team manager I will stay on as San Giovanni manager aswell.

that player at Monaco is amazing, if he had stayed at your team you might have had a bit more sucess in europe. Good to see San Marino doing well, the rate at which your progressing is brilliant.

Must be gutted you let him go for free now!

**egesagin** · 12-02-2012 11:58

8.5 million pounds for a centre midfielder with a passing ability of 7 O_o Monaco chairman must be nuts

**HotChocolate** · 12-02-2012 19:05

Great to see this up and running again.

I second what egesagin said!

**Proto Tarkula** · 13-02-2012 02:47

Brilliant career, Makoto!
