May 2029 - Serie A - Game Day 36

 

For atleast 24 hours we are top of the table.

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Ok...now its showtime.

 

Dear Internazionale...I think you would love to f*** up a title for Milan.

Its your time to shine.

No matter how the season ends...Antonio Berardi will be a full Venezia FC player next season.

The budgets are there and this might be the only chance.

Lazio refused to loan him out again.

 

Antonio is proabably the biggest reason for our success.

He is such an amazing F9.

May 2029 - Serie A - Game Day 37

 

Again...for atleast 24 hours we will be top of the table.

Cmon Inter...

 

[Cheez3y]

 

We are first...

The results between us and Milan were 2:2 and 1:1.

So its goal difference...

 

All we need to do is....win our last game.

May 2029 - Serie A - Game Day 38

With an xG of 5.23 and a 5:0 result...we finished the season in style.

 

So Milan needed to score 9 goals against Roma..

I think thats pretty impossible.

[Cheez3y]

May 2029 - Serie A

 

Champions!

 

[Cheez3y]

End Of Season Review 2028/29

 

It was a race until the very last day.

We finished top of the table and won the league only by goal difference..

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

This time we did it with creative transfers and young, hungry players.

And we created this beast...

 

 

 

[Cheez3y]

End Of Season Review 2028/29 - Stats

 

After 117 years....Venezia FC is finally an Italian Football Champion.

 

 

[Cheez3y]

In over 100+ games Berardi only got 1 yellow card in all competitions.

 

Wow, even Qin Yin got in the TotY.

[Cheez3y]

Bristol City 2028/29

 

Once again Bristol finished top 3.

 

The Champions League advantures ended in the 1st KO round against Real Madrid.

 

 

But...they won the FA Cup in a final against City!

[Cheez3y]

 

Its time to go...

Alonso would be cool.

Your welcome. 

[Cheez3y]

 

Here we go!

We close the chapter Venezia FC.

Lets see where our adventure continues.

 

Spoiler

 

 

I would love me some France or Spain.

[Cheez3y]

Well...this might be quick job search again.

 

There are two jobs avaible....Udinese and Real Sporting.

And since I dont want to do back2back club in the same country...

 

[Cheez3y]

Uhhh...fresh relegated.

Which means this would be a spicy rebuild!

[MWFC_3]

Loving that time where Atletico Madrid and Villarreal not qualifying for europe... Could I see the EPL - VNS tables? Just message me & send it.

Dont worry, I just can do it here.

 

       

[Cheez3y]

Turned down Real Madrid. 

[Cheez3y]

 

UFF

Did the interview and they want direct promotion by winning the league.

Budgets looking decent.

 

 

[karanhsingh]

Unbelievable league win! 101 points is no mean achievement. You've definitely done it at least a season sooner than expected. Good luck for the next chapter.

Yes this was probably 2-3 season earlier then I expected.

I still dont know the reason. It can only be the formation or the players.

 

So at my next job, we will use the "Venetian Diamond" again.

I did the interview at Gijon and the offered me the job 3 days later.

Edited June 23, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

Well...after Bristol...Venice...the next chapter will be in Spain.

Sporting Gijon!

[Cheez3y]

 

Yes, we replace the Luis Enrique.

 

Apparently...their Bext XI is a diamond.

Jackpot!

 

Edited June 23, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

 

Welcome at Sporting Gijon.

Looking at the facilities...Im hyped. Hopefully I find some gems in the U teams.

 

In the year 1979 Gijon finished runners-up behind Real Madrid.

Pretty funny is that they won more games then Real, but they just lost to many.

 

Spoiler

[Cheez3y]

Well...they were a top tier side for the entire time in the save.

Now after 7 years, they are back in the 2nd tier.

 

 

Finances are looking ok, but they got a lot of debt.

 

[Cheez3y]

Well there are couple of familiar real players.

But looking at the wages of some players....UFF

Looking good. Note Bristol City's rivals Bristol Rovers surviving relegation to L2.

Would this be done every season to let the audience know how English football is going?

Congratulations to the championship with Venezia! Now nice switch to spain.

The squad looks really old and experienced, but the wages... First of probably get ride of all the old overpaid players? Do you have a good DoF or searching for one?

Ty. 

 

Yes, I decided to cull everybody over 2 mio/year. This means we got 0 CMs at the moment. 

If everybody gets sold, we probably for 30-40 mio for a rebuild.

 

Sadly I needed to promise to keep the current DoF.

He is ok, but we can do better I think.

Edited June 23, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

 

First transfer in...and it will be a staff member.

Mr. Munoz decided to quit after I left Venezia.

Hopefully he can finally find some gems here at Gijon with the overall better setup.

 

 

[Cheez3y]

First 3,9 mio wages off the books.

Seoane went for 10,5 mio to Nantes.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

Sold our best youth prospect to Germany.

We dont use wingers, so we got no place for him.

As F9 or SS he got to much holes in his game.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

 

And with Villalba there goes our best player and highest earner.

5 mio off the books.

But we got a nice chunk of money for him.

 

Spoiler

 

Also Vinagre is gone.

3,9 mio off the books.

 

Spoiler

 

Edited June 23, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

 

 

And the last big earners are gone.

 

Spoiler

 

This looks like a decent budget for a rebuild.

[Cheez3y]

Two transfers were already made.

Atal still looks ok age 33.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

Despite only having 16 players, the media still rates us 2nd.

[karanhsingh]

Inaki Villa could have made a good F9 i think! 

Also it seems like once you have an established formation as manager, the screen when you take over places the players in that formation. Because when I took over at Boavista they showed me a 3-4-2-1 which is definitely what they had not been playing.

This one I never noticed. Good to know.

I was thinking about just trying him there, but I saw an opportunity, after I checked my shortlist.

So I took the money and run.

[Cheez3y]

 

Adilson will be our F9...our new Berardi hopefully.

He is the reason I decided to sell Inaki Villa.

 

He just need to learn the position.

 

He looks like a budget version of Antonio.

 

Borja was listed so this is a no brainer.

2nd/3rd choice keeper.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Duvan was on my shortlist the past 2 years.

He was still on a youth contract.

He turned down Man City to be our star player.

 

[Cheez3y]

 

Sanz was also on my shortlist for the last 2 years.

Nice spanish SS/F9 hybrid.

 

Also I decided to bring Cruz back to Spain.

He still doenst got the stars, but he is quick and can shoot. 

Should be enough for La Liga 2.

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

With the transfer of Duvan, we can get another 2mio of the books with the sell of Rivero.

 

Spoiler

 

Edited June 23, 2022 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

 

Once again of my shortlist.

Hede will be our starting Shadow Striker.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

Another nice chunk of money for a fringe player.

 

Spoiler

 

Cheap rotation Halfback for 2 years.

 

Spoiler

 

[Cheez3y]

I skipped the transfer news until the windows closes.

We buying a complete new team.

 

Preseason went ok.

 

Leganes will be the biggest test, the other two should be Ws.

August 2029 - La Liga 2 - Game Day 1

 

Here we go again!

What a start to the season.

We signed an absolute super star in Peter Hede.

 

If you see goals like this on the first day of the season, you know it will be a great year.

August 2029 - La Liga 2

I guess...

We can start to plan for La Liga.

 

 

Coming Up

We beat the best team in Leganes, if the media tells the truth.

Whiches means we should walk the league.
