End of the season 2031/32

Lets just start with the two main things.

Now then, on to the season.

Very, very close season! We won two games against Valletta, and that made us come above them even though they had better GD than us! So for the second time, we have won the league!

 

We failed in the FA Trophy this year.

But did pretty good in the EURO Cup.

I have no idea how Andrea Busuttil did not win the PotS award. He scored 33 goals in 35 games (and 15 assists) for us this year, and is the only reason we won the league!

Onwards and upwards - a stadium, a professional status AND another title! Curious - I guess you maxed out junior coaching level?

Will you try and bring back those youngsters that signed for Qatari Al-something a few years back?

Yes, that is maxed out.

I will try to do that. But I doubt they will join me :)

Champions League 2032/33

Back to the Champions League after our win last season!

First up, Ventspils from Latvia.

Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20Ventspils_%20Overview%2Ventspils%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Overview%2

Two cazy games! We smashed them in the first game. In the second game I thought I would let some of the reserves play. It did not go well, but we still made it.

 

Then we played Rijeka.

Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20Rijeka_%20Overview%20OvRijeka%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Overview%20Ov

We should already have scored in the fist game, but the strikers missed some HUGE chances.

 

Next up, FC Steaua!

Perhaps the easiest of the teams we could meet this round. But still a very good team, that SHOULD beat us!

Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20FC%20Steaua_%20Overview 

We won the first game, and it was deserved for once! Now then, the next game, if we managed to hold on we would be in the Champions League!

FC%20Steaua%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Overview

And that is what we did! They attacked like crazy, but we made it! Champions League, here we come!

 

Dodzi%20Labo_%20%20Inbox-2_31.png

If we finish the group stage with less than 30 goals against us I'll be happy!

Did not really matter what we got this, as long as they had high pot!

Ta%20Xbiex%20SC%20Youth%20Candidates_%20

And we got 4 of those! One massive thing that have happened is that almost all of the players are from other places than Ta´Xbiex. I think that is because of us turning pro.

Yes, thats right, we won it again! We were probably a bit lucky this year, as Valletta really had a bad season for their standards. And we also were very lucky in some games.

Dodzi%20Labo_%20%20Inbox_49.png

And, I do not think Valletta likes us. Two of those red cards were straigth red.

 

FA Trophy and BOV Super Cup.

I imagine at that price its not really a "stadium" like Allianz Arena but more like a good football pitch surrounded by some terraces and some small buildings :)

Champions League 2033

I doubt we could do what we did last year again. But we'll try!

 

First up, KF Laçi from Albania.

Laci%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Overview%20Over Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20Laci_%20Overview%20Over

We had no problems in the first game. In the second game they scored on every shot on goal.

 

Next up, AIK from Sweden.

Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20AIK_%20Overview%20OvervAIK%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Overview%20Overv

Two good games!

 

The team we had to beat to be in the CL Group Stages was Dinamo.

Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20Dinamo_%20Overview%20OvDinamo%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Overview%20Ov

We did well in the first game, not letting in more than a goal. But in the second game we got destroyed, and we where lucky not to concede more goals.

 

So, we're out of the Cl, but in to the EURO Cup group stages.

I'm happy with all the players I have now, so there is nothing that I really want.

Ta%20Xbiex%20SC%20Youth%20Candidates_%20

Again, we got a really good player! In the DM spot we only have a single player that is good, and a couple that is usable, so it's a good intake. The two other 5* pot, are in other positions we really don't need players. But I'll take it!

Retiring!

One of the players from the first youth intake has decided he's going to retire! After he was the number one striker for the first 5-6 seasons, he was moved on to the U19 team because I did not want to release him. And now he's calling it quits. I gave him one last game three years back. (I wanted to give him a game the season he retired, but I was too late)

Champions League.

First up this year, Sarajevo from Bosnia and Herzegovina, a team we should have no big problem beating.

Videoton%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Overview%20Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20Videoton_%20Overview%20

We were the best team over two legs, and won both games 2-1.

 

Then, for the most important games. Against Sparta Prague, from the Czech Republic. This was the easiest team we could get in this round!

Sparta%20Prague%20v%20Ta%20Xbiex_%20Over Ta%20Xbiex%20v%20Sparta%20Prague_%20Over

The first game, away, we were actually the best team. In the second game they attacked from the start, and they really pushed us! But they could not score! But we did, two times! And for the second time in three years we're in the group stages of the Champions League!

Youth Intake 2035

There is only one thing that I really want now, and thats a right back.

Ta%20Xbiex%20SC%20Youth%20Candidates_%20

No right back, but a left back. I'm going to retrain him into a RB, as the only player we have in that position is a 2*.

Overall a worse intake than we usually have, but we can't get a starter each year.

 

The three best.

Almost a unbeaten season.

Valletta had a really bad season, so we won the league pretty early this year.  One thing though, we scored 25 less goals this year than last year. It might be because both of our strikers was injured 2-3 months. On the other hand, we conceded 12 less, so thats good.

 

FA Trophy.

I'm stunned they're both still at Al-Qadisiyah (which I thought was in Qatar, my mistake), looking at their wages, you could afford them both probably - no idea why they have no interest in joining their first ever club though. I'm assuming you did try to offer them a contract and they still weren't interested - because scouts will label the player as 'no interest' but in reality they are interested but they require some promises to be made before the actual negotiations start. Hopefully you'll get them both back in the future, they both look solid. 

Cassar at 17 looks promising as well.

I've tried to get every player that have left me back, only one wants to join. And he wants three times more wages than my best player have now.

Well, suddenly he wants a contract that I can afford, so he's coming back!

Youth Intake 2036

After the youth recruitment upgraded this year, I had really high hopes for this intake. Manuel Cassar is so good at the moment, so all the players looks bad in comparison. We only have two players in the team with 5* POT, just because of him!

But look at this! Three 5* Pot, and one from Spain! One problem with two of the three though, the determination.

 

Three best.
