Bedese Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 There's no easy team in the CL, and I don't think we're going to even get close to picking up a point. What the CL has done for us, though is this: 1.5*! Still no option to upgrade youth recruitment yet, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneronaldo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Thats one hell of a terrifying group, at least from the looks of things. City should still be loaded with oil money & mercenaries, but have the other 2 done anything of note? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

City should still be loaded with oil money & mercenaries, but have the other 2 done anything of note? Yup Valencia made the semis in 2111, 2106, 2101, 2093, 2085, 2078, 2075, 2055, 2046 and 2045. They lost in the final in 2038 and 2067, and won it in 2087, 2070 and 2044. Shakhtar won it on penalties in 2063, and made it to the semis in 2065 and 2078. They also lost in the final in 2068 and 2069. Man City are the current holders, which is great for us. They've won it 7 times in total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 What a result. We were winning, but when Zavoli got himself sent off stupidly for a two footed lunge we were in trouble. We conceded once, but managed to repel them after that and we held on for a fantastic draw. We've just drawn with 10 men against a past winner. I didn't show you our first game, but we lost 4-1 to Valencia (Gatti got our goal), and Man City beat Shakhtar 3-0. Could we come third in this group? No, but lets be optimistic anyway. Next up - it's only the holders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 We were battered all game as expected, but only losing 2-0 is important. Shakhtar also lost 2-0, to Man City, so the table looks like this with one game left: We have Shakhtar to play at home - if we draw or win, we'll come third and go through to the Europa Knockouts!

Bedese Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Unfortunately, we might soon be near the end of the road. His contract expires in two months, and he won't sign a new one because he wants to play at a higher level. I know he doesn't have long left, but he can still give us a couple of fantastic seasons, and I'll be devastated if we lose him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Season Review Campionato Sammarinese: Table Schedule Superb. Coppa Titano: Table Schedule Meh. Squad Key Players: Highest Average Rating:Federico Cervellini (YP130) - 8.21He's terrific, and he signed a new contract.Top Goalscorer:Paolo Buscarini (YP125) - 33It looks like he's got another year or two left in him, but Gatti is likely leaving on a free Manager's Player of the Year:Michele Ciacci (YP129)He's great for us. Aims for next season: CL Groups/Europa Knockouts. Other teams: League Winners: Cup Winners: Virtus beat La Florita on penalties in the final. How the team in CL qualifying did: We got a point in the groups against Shakhtar. How the teams in Europa qualifying did: La Florita lost 4-0 to Hungarians Ujpest and Tre Fiori lost 3-0 to Bosnians Olimpic, but Folgore carried the flag for San Marino, beating Suduva from Lithuania 2-1. They then lost 4-0 to Slovan Bratislava. San Marino National team: 2112 Results -- 2113 Results Granted, it was a tough Nations League group, but 3 points?

Bedese Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Goodnight, sweet prince. The best player we've ever had is leaving on a free, looking for a bigger club at the age of 32. He probably only had one or two years left in him but that's irrelevant - he was unbelievably good for us for over a decade, and I doubt we'll ever have a striker as capable of mixing it up with the European big boys as him. He leaves having played 306 games, scoring 302 times, getting 74 assists, 53 MOTMs, and a 7.90 average rating. He was absolutely magical in Europe, and it's down to him that we've made so much progress in the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 I started Federico Berardi (YP135), but he got injured after about 10 minutes. His injury problems are really concerning. Boero came off the bench, and got his second hatrick in two games. He's winning himself a starting spot, at least while Buscarini is hurt. Time to go to Hungary.

Bedese Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Drawing away at the top seed is a great way to start off the group. We probably created the better of the chances but in truth it was a pretty poor game, with neither side ever really looking like scoring. Tini will be a big loss for the next game, though.

Bedese Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 That AIK draw might have been a lot more important than I thought... After the AIK game, we were sat on 2 points, with AIK and Zorya on 8, and I was sure we were out. Now, though... We're 3 points behind, but it's a lot better than it looks. Because we've just beaten Zorya, if we both finish on 8, we go through because of our Head to Head Record. Zorya play AIK - we need AIK to win, which I'm hopeful will happen. If AIK win, all we need to do to progress is to beat the already eliminated Rapid Wien. Simple, right? AIK drew with Zorya last time out and Rapid Wien beat us 2-0 when we were at home, so no. But we'll give it a shot anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
