sherwinriga Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Unfortunate leg against Sparta Prague. I was thinking that you get rid of the rivalry with Dinamo Zagreb and start a new rivalry with Sparta Prague. I hope your rematch with them would be more competitive as not to get embarrassed easily.

Bedese Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Youth Intake Day! Hmm. This is a bit of an odd one. His mentals are superb (I'm a sucker for great workrate and teamwork at this level), but his technicals need a lot of work. I may experiment playing with a defensive forward to utilise him while we work on his finishing. He looks pretty good. 14 passing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad, but we don't use wingers right now and he's casual. Very happy with him. Looks like a solid defensive FB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, to be honest. They made a lot of good chances, whereas we probably only had one or two decent sights of goal in the 90 minutes. I'd say that 5-1 is probably about fair.

Bedese Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 The power of tutoring! Here's Andrea Manzaroli (YP33a) on intake day: After a lot of tutoring (I think we used a balanced tutor, then a fairly Pro one and then a Pro one twice), here he is 2 years later: From Casual to Professional in two years, and he's already starting to make good on his potential.

League Cailungo were a real thorn in our side this year, but we came from behind in the final with 10 men to beat them AET and retain our title. Cup Double. Schedule Squad Other Teams: La Florita lost 3-1 to Slovan Bratislava from Slovakia, Fiorentino lost 5-1 to Breioablik from Iceland and Virtus lost 4-1 to AGF from Denmark.
