HB/CB option in Cordoba. Matazo will be our 3rd choice B2B.

Gemello looks like a well rounded SK for this level. Nice catch Mr. DoF.

Lets bring some oldies in. Lanzini former West Ham player joins us for 12 months. He is a pretty nice cover for the AMC and F9 spot. Magnusson is our 2nd main CB. Another cheap loan option. Martucci is a pretty rapid AF.

Lets see how the rest of the preseason goes, but I really enjoyed what I saw in the first game. The shape and the movement are 100% what I wanted.

First friendly we played against Lecce, fresh relegated from the Serie A. Our defense looked solid. The quick goal against us was an over the top ball between our two CBs. Idk if thats the "higher line" or "play for offside". Probably the offside one. 1st goal I think I got my desired shape. The HB (Karamono) drops between the CBs (Barison+Venturi) and create a makeshift 3 ATB. The IWB (Delgado + El Hilali) are pretty wide and stretching the play. -- 12 sec later -- We still got the 3 ATB, the HB is holding pretty nice the position between the CBs. The IWB are our widest players and creating a lot of space for the B2B and F9. Currently Berardi (F9) is holding the ball. -- 1 sec later -- El Hilali (IWB) is starting his inside run. Berardi (F9) and Esposito (B2B) is taking the attention and the gap opens. -- 0,5 sec later -- El Hilali (IWB) is gettin the ball into the space and he can pretty much do what he wants. -- 0,5 sec later -- First time pass from El Hilali (IWB) into the space for Morello (AF) -- 1 sec later -- Morello (AF) is gone and is scoring the 1:1. 2nd goal Starting with Cobo (SK). The left IWB Delgado is acting like a winger and is the widest player. The right IWB El Hilali is in the space between the right B2B Esposito and the F9 Berardi. -- 4 sec later -- Ball from Cobo to Barison, who plays it to the HB Karamoko. The IWB again are the widest players. -- 3 sec later -- HB Karamoko plays to the left B2B Tessmann. The IWBs + SS + Striker are forming a W. -- 2 sec later -- Tessmann played the ball to the SS Rico and now the El Hilali (IWB) is looking for a run. He moved like 3-6 meters into the middle. He is between the LW and LB from Lecce. -- 1 sec later -- Quick pass from Rico (SS) to Berardi (F9). The LB (Cataldo) from Lecce is closing down Berardi and opens the space for El Hilali (IWB). And the clear cut chances is created. -- 3 sec later -- El Hilal (IWB) is acting like a normal WB. -- 3 sec later -- He is passing the ball into the space for Berardi (F9) to score.

After the first friendly I would 100% agree with that statement.

Time for my last save attempt of this years edition. 25 clubs and everybody share 2 similarities. 1. They are into the playable league at the start. (patch 12.4) 2. Lets use Bayer 04 Leverkusen as example. Five times Bayer 04 came close....but they never won the Bundesliga. Every club were in this position at some point. Lets change this. Couple of clubs will be easy like Bayer 04 or Leipzig, but we also got a tier 4 team in Oldham. Couple of guidelines I will follow: - start umemployed, as my alter ego I use World Cup winner Marcos Ferreira again - once one of those jobs is open and Im unemployed, I need to apply - once I finish my mission, I will resign at the end of the season - I only use my scouts and the transfer list, no player search - I will heavily use my DoF, prob goin full DoF mode This save will not about any national teams or youth development. There is only one goal, fulfill the clubs destiny.
