OlivierL Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Road to ?? League - Season 5 After Salzburg we beated Legia(nr 74 Europe) from Poland. They are also bigger but Mr Europe Boro did it again ! After this qualification we are certain of another Europa League Groupstage.. but it could be more if we beat Dinamo Zagreb (nr 53 in Europe) in the final Play-offs for Champions League. First Leg: We played great and deserved to win against a team that has a great history . We are very close to reach another big objective ! 18 hours ago, OlivierL said: A very big win in Europe! Our win against As Roma in the first season was bigger but this feels great. They are a very big club and we... aren't ! Now we have to wait and see what we can do in the return. We did it ! We have a chance against Legia (we won against them in 2021) and after this we could play the final qualification for the Champions league against Zagreb or Tel Aviv. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlivierL Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Champions League - Game 3 - Season 5 Hertha with Toni Kroos, Sow 41.5m, Pavon 39m, Adeyemi 54m , not that optimistic to get something from germany but we have to try and enjoy We missed our Borge YT up front , Spanish veteran Juanfri will lead the line. We scored two, that is the only good thing about this game . If we want to play in Europa after the winter break, we'll have to win at home against Hertha.

OlivierL Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Champions League - Game 4 - Season 5 A really good first half, we had the possession and two balls cleared of the line. Borge YT scored a great goal .. can we do it again ? We enjoyed our lead for one minute. At first it seems logic that we almost got something against Hertha after we won at Arsenal but.. if we see the above details, it was almost a new miracle.. Our Home game against Arsenal is an important one... Edited May 28, 2021 by OlivierL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlivierL Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Champions League - Game 5 - Season 5 If get a draw of win against Arsenal, we have a good chance of finishing third.

Now i have a nice game at Juventus , just for fun because we can't finish third of second anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlivierL Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Review - Season 5 - 2024/2025 League Fixtures | Play-off Fixtures | League Player Stats | Best Eleven| Accolades | Finances | Transfers | Loaned players | Youth intake | Gibraltar National League We are still unbeaten since season 1 but we didn't won all our games this time, no shame. Gibraltar Rock Cup Pepe Reyes Cup We need to win a lot more Gibraltar National Leagues to get close to Lincoln before i retire Europe Intermediate League (U23) Very strong season and second win in a row. Squad Key players Olivero: Player of the season in Gibraltar with many assists. Annesley: Solid as a rock part 1 in our central defense. Britto: Solid as a rock part 2. Robba: Our goalkeeper in the top four means he had a great run in Europe ! Boro should be in this list. He scored 20 in 29 apps at the age of 33 . Mr Europe will remain in the first eleven. Academy Accolades Facilities (changes) Saw this in our club vision 5 year plan.. Improving again our Youth & Training Facilities. The cost for the upgrades are getting higher but that is normal. Manager's thoughts Another excellent season domestically. Very happy in Europe with reaching the champions league and our victory at Arsenal. We competed well against every opponent and that gives us courage for the future. In theory, the squad will not change. Nobody is quitting or has to leave and the current youth players will stay in the first team and get some games. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlivierL Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 43 minutes ago, _Ben_ said: Making some great progress at the moment! Has it been ‘easier’ than you thought to get to this stage? Yes indeed, of course that unexpected qualification for Europa league in the first year helped enormously and accelerated everything. I am now also very happy with a new impulse for my save with the future stadium. I expected group stage Conference or Europa league after a decade but now I expect it the other way around. I now benefit from the best remaining NOT Gibraltarians (some Spanish) combined with all the good (I couldn't get two so far) real players from Gibraltar and the better regens. But if in time all the real players disappear from my team, will the level of the regens from Gibraltar be insufficient to get into Europe? Maybe even to become champions every year? I worry about that a bit. Europa FC and Lincoln get a certain amount from me every year for some of their talents. They use that money, amongst other things, to take former youth players from Championship teams or Spanish teams (for free) and give them a good contract. I could benefit from this because those Englishmen or Spaniards sometimes become Gibraltarians after three years. They are definitely competition for me and as soon as I play with eleven guys from Gibraltar, the difference will become even smaller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlivierL Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) Legend - retirement- End Season 5 Borge YT took over from Juanfri since two seasons ago but he was one of two legends that gave me Europa League in the first season and a lot of goals in the first seasons.

OlivierL Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Pre-season - Season 6 - 2025/2026 We are still in the Champions league qualifications after a crazy game in Riga. Next opponent is Flora Tallinn. First Eleven Same first eleven as last season. We are playing this system from day one, only changing the mentality during the games. Transfers in Signed two regens. Majewski was free after playing a few years for Lincoln, he already had one cap so i'm giving him a chance in my U23 team. Lewis YT has a good personality and i haven't got many options for our DL position. Transfers out Only youth players that are getting a loan period at first division teams and Juanfri that retired. Staff changes Extended all the contract, only changed one or two coaches. I'll update this later in a seperate post. Manager thoughts The entire first team has stayed except for experienced striker Juanfri. I hope to reach another group stage of a European competition. And to get more news about my future stadium.
