SRL88 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 SRL88's Career - August 2041 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A very, very surprisingly slow start to the season by the standards we have set in recent years. The season couldnt have started any harder with a trip to Bayern but we more than matched them, probably being the better team. We took the lead inside one minute but gave it back almost as quick as we took it. Bayern took the lead just before half time, but just after the interval we levelled things. Just as the game was heading for a draw, and just like last season, in stoppage time Bayern scored to set us off to a dreadful start. I cant say the month got any better really. We struggled against Rostok and had to come from a goal down to get a point. We played better against Schalke but neither side really looked like scoring, although we had the better of the chances. Against Koln we started dreadful. We were 2-0 down after 15 minutes. Luckily, Ramic decided to get us out of the hole we dug ourselves into to grab us a point. DFB Pokal 1st Round Well this wasnt easy either. We trailed twice in the game, but came back to book our place in the next round where we have a home tie against Aue. Final Bits of Business Transfers - In Bife - Free - An experienced goalkeeper signed on a free. All will come clear soon as to why I signed him, but having spent nearly his whole career with Dortmund, I think this could be a very shrewd signing. Benjamin Schulte - £1.5m - A home grown player which was much needed. That was the reasoning behind this deal, but also the fact his potential ability is rated highly. Transfers - Out Well the reason I signed Bife is shown. The sale of Velimir Kelava swung things. Although I was prepared to try and blend him into the first team, a cracking offer from Porto meant I was unable to reject it prompting be back into the transfer market. I allowed Duje Tudor to leave to Championship side Derby on loan. They had been interested in him for much of last season so I allowed him to leave for first team experience. On the final day of the window Welle Mbaye left to Bochum on loan with an agreed fee of £1.6m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 SRL88's Career - New Job Update - Mexico Well following in my eyes what was the very surprising sacking of Hugo Garcia, the Mexican FA approached me to become the new manager of the National Football Team. I have been apprehensive to return to International Management following previous offers (Russia, Brazil), but I felt this was a great opportunity for me, with a Mexico side who caused me numerous problems when I was in charge of Brazil. So the aim is clear. Qualify for the World Cup. Like I said, I was surprised Garcia was sacked, as there are two fixtures remaining and we currently sit second.

SRL88 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2041 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga An excellent month, and just what we needed after a poor start to the season. We dominated proceedings against Bochum and pretty much walked to a 3-0 win. It could have been many more, but I am happy with the result. We went to Freiburg in our next encounter, and I decided to hand Bife his debut in goal following a mistake from Benjamin Porter in Europe. His experience gave a lot to the backline as we were assured in defence and really held firm. Thats not to say that Freiburg were the better side because they werent. Two tap-ins from Nicolas St-Louis gave us the win. The month was rounded off with a very good 1-0 win over Stuttgart to hopefully get our season off & running.

SRL88 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 September 2041 - Continued Champions League Well not the start I was wanting in Europe. The match was pretty even, but after Chelsea had a man sent off in the 70th minute we were handed the advantage. Not only that, but we took the lead in the 88th minute so to only take a point from there was very annoying. As I said, a mistake from Benjamin Porter gave Chelsea a gift.

I made a few changes from what I would class as my 'first choice 11' after picking my first squad and we breezed to a 3-1 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually fell behind against Ingolstadt but turn it around brilliantly. The following match was a very one sided game, but we could only manage the one goal, but it was enough to give us another 3pts. We rounded the month off with a very tough trip to Hamburg, but managed to come away with a cracking 2-0 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 October 2041 - Continued DFB Pokal 2nd Round A result which turned out in our favour. We were level at half-time, but a brilliant second half performance gave us a 4-1 win which sets up a very interesting tie in the Third Round. Champions League Well I will be the first to admit that we pretty much need a miracle to qualify from this group. We made hard work of things in Prague but managed a 1-0 win. How we didnt win the Barca tie, nevermind lost it will bemuse me for a while. We made them look like an average team, not the European powerhouse but the two shots they had on target went in to leave us with it all to do.

SRL88 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 SRL88's Career - November 2041 - Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga A very solid month on reflection. We started with a tough game against Dortmund, and with the game poised at 1-1, we scored 2 goals in the final 20 minutes to grab a 3-1 win. We were poor away to Leverkusen and deservidly found ourselves 2-0 down. A late goal gave us hope but we didnt have enough fight to find the goal which would have given us a draw. The month rounded off with two solid 2-0 wins to leave us sat three points off the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 November 2041 - Continued Champions League Two massive differences in fortunes. We were poor in Spain, but held firm against Barcelona until the latter minutes. We had a few chances to draw level, but once Barca scored their second they soon added a third to seal the tie. A wonderful result in England has given us a slim chance of making the knockout stages. We raced into a two goal lead and despite Chelsea pulling one back in the second half, we held on for a major 2-1 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
