Scarman - Cheers fella!I know,Australia has been hit pretty hard for talent and are having to rely on a lot of real players and any regens coming through tend to be playing in New Zealand's league system!

B.W.G Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - Youth Candidate Day 2024 The Candidates The Hot Prospects 1. Oscar Etxebarria - The Ass. Man's pick 2. Yon Etxebarria 3. Andreas Savvidis - The second pure foreigner to come through (Reuter is the first!) Manager's Thoughts With regards to defence,this has been a good candidate day as I only needed a decent keeper.Oscar is that good at a young age he is already regarded as the third choice keeper but I only have four anyway!Yon look like he will be good right back in the future but we are that short at the moment nationally,I will take anything!As for Savvidis,not had a good defender who can use both his feet so he will be very useful in the future,I also noted he is the 2nd pure breed foreigner to come through the system.I'm not entirely sure at how foreigners like that can come through,maybe the Youth Recruitment is starting to pay off. An interesting thing to note is that there are three Extebarria's at the club including me.The start of my date of birth is 29/09,Oscar is 28/09 and Yon is the 27/09.That to me is quite freaky overall three people with the same surname and born at the end of September! Also one of them is my son but I will let you guess which one it is.Anyone who guess's right can have a cookie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.W.G Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - March 2024 Fixtures League Table Manager's Thoughts With regards to the Champions League,we beat Twente 4-0 in the 2nd leg to record a 8-1 on agg victory,that easily could have been double figures if we finished our chances properly,this has also set up a tasty Quarter Final tie with Real Madrid with the winner going on to face Inter Milan or Man City in which I hope it's the latter. The league saw us beat Sevilla 3-0 in which should have been more but for finishing,We destroyed Espanyol 8-2,the funny thing about this was Sola was sent off after 33 minutes so I took off Santamaria and put on Diez who also got two in the match!Sola got a three game ban and we did miss him against Real but we put in a brave performance and stole the points.We didn't have any trouble against Deportivo and Almeria in which the major highlights were Angelo Roman scoring a cracker against Almeria as well as Diez's hat-trick against Deportivo. April sees two games against Real in the CL as well as two games against Barcelona with one of those being the Copa del Rey final.The league sees us face Barcelona and At.Madrid as our toughest games but we also face Betis who still haven't secured a win and have only got 9 games to do so!Sola scored 8 in 4 for the month and was banned for the rest so that wasn't too bad,he is on 117 in 43 games for the season.He is fully rested so good luck to Real Madrid who we face first in April!

B.W.G Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 C.D. Vitoria - Liga BBVA - April 2024 Fixtures League Table Manager's Thoughts Sola came back with a bang as he put Real Madrid to the sword in both legs as we went through 3-1 on agg but he did pick up a booking in the 2nd leg which ruled him out of the 1st leg of the Semi-final clash with Inter Milan.In the end we didn't need him as we put Inter to the Sword as we won 4-0 which put us in a fantastic position going into the 2nd leg.If we are to progress to the final then we will face Arsenal or Tottenham. In the league,we basically finished things off.Beat Granada 7-1 after having Aranburu sent off after 9 minutes for two bookable offences!Destroyed the useless Betis 8-0 and they now have to finish with the lowest points total in Liga BBVA since the start of the save,we drew with Athletic which was a massive disappointment as we did enough to actually win the game but I guess it wasn't to be.Don't think I could have asked for a better way to clinch the title then by beating Barcelona 4-1,we absolutely dominated them start to finish and the winning margin could have been a lot bigger than three.Finished the month off by beating At.Madrid to carry on our domination over Madrid in general. May bring's the Champions League semi-final second leg which we are in a brilliant position to reach our second CL final.We have a tricky tie against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final,we may have beat them in the league but that means nothing in a final.The league I am not bothered about,we can win all our remaining games as Valencia is the most difficult of the ties we have left.Sola is now on 133 goals in 51 appearances and with the teams we have to face,I am expecting him to get to 140!

Fixtures Manager's Thoughts We've done what we can in the build up to the tournament and I am mighty relieved that we finally get some competitive fixtures as friendlies bore the hell out of me.We generally have a good squad with nine of the team coming from Vitoria,while the others are mainly youngsters who are impressing for the clubs.The fullback positions are a concern as of now but they will be sorted in the future with talent coming through the numerous youth systems.We should be able to get to the latter stages of Euro 2024. If we are to succeed then it will be mainly relying on Sola as I do at club level,he only needs two goals to reach 60 for Spain but we tend to do better in competitive fixtures.We have a strong midfield with exception to the left wing as I had no choice but to use my own two wingers as no other club actually has Spanish left wingers so I had no choice but to select mine.Lets hope I don't crack under pressure as we are the hosts to the tournament.

We had a tricky tie against France in the quarter final which was made harder by the ref,we went 2-0 up with ease then the controversial decisions started,we had a goal ruled out for a "foul",had Aranburu sent straight off for what should have been a bookable offence then he France scored from an offside position,thankfully we held on to mover to the semi-final.We were against England in the semi-finals and we gave a real Jekyll and Hyde performance,brilliant in the first half and terrible in the 2nd but a Sola double was more then enough to send us through. We were a minute away from losing the final against Germany when Perez popped up and scored in the 3rd minute of injury time to take it to extra time.Extra time was more exciting than normal time but we couldn't finish our chances to win it so it went to penalties.We held our nerve and won 3-2 on penalties but the penalties were really poor,there were five penalties from fourteen converted! Sola was the top scorer with 15 which set a new Euro Championship record,this also puts him on 73 goals in 47 caps which puts him 1 goal behind Torres's record of 74 goals for Spain so he is 99% likely to break it by the end of the year!
