    Well, in the end, unfortunately, we didn't manage to make up the six points. We did our homework at the beginning, with a 3:2 victory over Sol de América, but then followed a mammoth programme that was too difficult. Due to the Copa Libertadores, we had to make up some games and were scheduled to play four games in eight days. Pretty unfair. The team was running on fumes and we had a few injuries. As a result, we dropped five points against River Plate. We got back on track with two wins at the end, but it wasn't enough to win the title. Three points made the difference in the end. If I had known that at the beginning of the Opening Stage, we probably would have given up the Copa Libertadores. Because that probably cost us the title in the end.

    Three points were missing at the end - the points we squandered against River Plate at the end. It's bitter.

    Third place means progressing to the Copa Sudamericana.

    March - April 2027

    In March and April, there was a lot of one thing in particular: goals.

    It started with a 5:1 victory over Santaní, followed by a 4:3 win over Cerro Porteño and a 4:4 against Club Nacional. The 1:1 against Luqueño, on the other hand, was almost boring, before a 6:1 victory over Club Libertad rounded off the month. 

    In the Copa Libertadores, unfortunately, things did not go quite as smoothly. We started with a narrow defeat against Vasco da Gama. In Ecuador, we could only manage a goalless draw and against River Plate we had no chance.

     

    In April, things really got going. The beginning was still restrained but enormously important: 2:1 victory against leaders Clube Olimpia. After that, there were 20 goals in two games! Against Rubio Ñu, we were leading 5:2 before we made the game exciting again towards the end. Against Guaraní, an eleven-goal thriller ensued, in which the leads alternated constantly, but we were able to score the decisive goal in the 84th minute through Dario Pérez. This was followed by a win over San Lorenzo and a draw against Sol de América.

    In the Copa Libertadores, we scored a surprise win against River Plate. Against Quito, we again only managed a draw. We are now three points ahead of the Ecuadorians before the last matchday.

    image.jpeg.fdba6ef1552c0dd8509c1af9f594c180.jpeg

    We were able to fight our way up to second place. With two games less, we are now six points behind Olimpia.

    We are off to a good start in the new season. We won all of our first four games and once again proved to be accurate in front of goal. It was not until the fifth matchday at home against Clube Olimpia that we suffered our first defeat.

    We face Independiente from Ecuador in the Copa Libertadores qualifiers. After winning the first leg 3:0, we almost lose the good starting position in the second leg. After Rodrigo Peralta scored early on to give us the lead, we still manage to score four goals and narrowly advance.

    In the meantime, we had lost for the second time in the league. Guaraní also gave us four goals. But we had as few problems with Rubio Ñu as we did in the last qualifying round for the Copa Libertadores against Provincial from Chile. 

    image.jpeg.037f3bcbbcefdbbc6188a20091b8de61.jpeg

    We face River Plate, Vasco da Gama and Quito in the Copa Libertadores. A though group.

    image.jpeg.20262c0bce33f885aeaf54823ea2eca6.jpeg

    Place 6 is not what makes us happy, but we have a few games less.

    Transfers 2027

    image.jpeg.c5f22c3433ec81bf624f32096d86e422.jpeg

    Four new players are coming in for free. Jorge Cardozo is another striker where we didn't have a need, but to get such a player for free - you don't have to think twice. José Quintana is earmarked for one of the two centre-back positions. Gabriel Fuentes for the right-backs and Enrique Vera comes on loan for the box-to-box position in midfield.

    Blas Quintana with an excellent season. He set a new club record with 39 goals.

    The Team

    I am very happy with the first year at Fernando. For a team that was thought to have very little chance, we did more than well. 4th place, 2nd place and the cup win - it's probably the best season in the club's history. And I think there's more possible if you look at the potential of the team.

    Goal
    Zenobio is an excellent keeper and will also be our number one next season. Uliambre, on the other hand, will leave us, his contract expires.

    Defence
    Rodi Ferreira is set on the right. Fabián Franco is his replacement. On the left, Giménez and Jiménez rotate, but we are looking for a better alternative. In central defence, Manenti and Luján played the most games. Behind them we have the home-grown Olmedo and Melgarejo. The veterans Ortiz and Barrientos will leave us. 

    Midfield
    Ortigoza and Galíndez were the duo in the centre. Fernández and Miers are their replacements. Carrano and Roa are very talented, but unfortunately their position does not exist in our system, so both had to be used in other positions.

    Wings
    On the left, Cáceres, Morínigo and loanee Enciso alternated. Next season, however, only Cáceres will still be in the squad, which is why replacements are being sought here. Bustamante was left out and will not have a chance next season. Carlos Daniel was the main man on the right and contributed ten assists and five goals. Bogado and Sosa had a hard time keeping up with these numbers. But we are well positioned here.

    Forward
    This is where we have the most talent. Quintana, González, Pérez and Peralta could all play in the starting eleven. But no one has come close to Quintana's performance this year. Together with González, he formed a perfect duo.

     

    Copa Libertadores

    I don't think, that I need to mention, that Brazilian teams won the two competitions.

    Trujillanos has had a good season. They made the playoffs in both the opening and closing stages. In the playoffs, they reached the semi-finals in the Opening Stage, but in the Closing Stage they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

     

    image.png.1fdcf3262269dd077c80f9d14692276a.png

    It is a pity to see that Atlético River Plate could not take advantage of the good work and starting position and carry it on. The club has not had a good season. They finished the Opening Stage in 6th place. In the Closing Stage, they only managed 7th place. Internationally, they failed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana against Liverpool FC.

     

    image.png.1a3a5004abb71def8772794f5aca2642.png

    ADFP Club Cienciano was also unable to continue the fairytale from the previous season. They only finished the Closing Stage in a disappointing eleventh place. In the Copa Libertadores, the qualifiers ended in the first games against Atlético Nacional.

    Right at the beginning of the month, the cup semi-final against San Lorenzo was on the agenda. A brace from Niccolò Carrano took us to the final! 

    In the league, the last few match days were less satisfying. Against Luqueño we squandered a 3:1 lead in the last six minutes. We were able to beat Cerro Porteño, but then we lost two close games against River Plate and Club Libertad, which put us out of the championship race. Even the victory on the last matchday did us no good.

    image.jpeg.1e929dbec668942707a4573cfbd7a1d8.jpeg

    In between, the cup final took place. And even though the omens were bad, as we were missing two important players, González and Ortigoza, the team brought the cup home!

    image.jpeg.ad159f79d6320f32dba976bdac4e5e90.jpeg

    image.jpeg.79e6fd3537b118ffc7ac85454cd80073.jpeg

    About the game: Pérez and Cáceres scored a double early on. After the break, however, Olimpia came back and equalised within three minutes (50th + 53rd). The momentum was stopped abruptly, however, as Melluso was sent off after 64 minutes. We then took the reins again and Galíndez scored the much-celebrated winner five minutes before the end. The club thus wins the first important title in its history!

    It still runs smoothly! In the cup we meet the second division team Capiatá, which allows us to rotate a bit. So it is also substitute Arnaldo Fernández who sends us into the semi-finals with a brace!

    In the league, the engine stutters. We only get one point against San Lorenzo. But then the team picks up again. In the top match, we beat Clube Olimpia 2:0 at home! This is followed by a 6:2 victory over Sportivo Trinidense. Midfielder Blás Ortigoza scores a hat-trick. And away at Club Nacional, we earn another important three points! Disillusionment, however, against Sol de América. We took the lead in the first minute, but failed to follow up. So the guests come back into the game late and turn it around. This loss of points can still hurt us a lot. 

    image.jpeg.888cdf074ae038f5fdb2fc6eafbe8a77.jpeg

    Still first, but head to head with Clube Olimpia. 5 games to go!

    It goes on with a lot of goals. In the first match of the month, we beat River Plate 4-0. In the cup we have considerable problems. Against the second division team Atyrá FC, we were 2-0 down until shortly before the end, but then managed to equalise in the remaining minutes. In extra time, we finally scored the winning goal. We got away with a black eye.

    In the league, we managed a narrow win against Club Libertad before scoring five goals again against Octubre. Finally, against Guaraní, there was a remis.

    Mixed feelings at the start. We win narrowly against Sportivo Trinidense and lose clearly against Club Nacional. Then we played the amateur team Atlético Colegiales in the second cup round - a game for the history books. 12:4 is the final result! I don't know what surprises me more: that we scored a dozen goals or that we give the opponent another three goals at 8:1 with ten minutes to go?

    image.jpeg.6aa4d76e732b6ace22aa44a7b057dd4d.jpeg

    Blas Quintana even missed a penalty in the 91st minute, before Rodrigo Peralta scored twice more in the last two minutes. Several records were broken in this match and Peralta's five goals have already surpassed Blas Quintana's four-goal record, which is also still young.

    image.jpeg.a6ef7ae2d9462ca9832c22a33145ce14.jpeg

    The league continued on a high note with a 4:3 victory over Sol de América. Once again with a late winning goal. This time in the 91st minute by Agustín Galíndez. The following two victories, 3:0 over Luqueño and 2:1 at Cerro Porteño, were almost boring.

    Between mid-May and mid-July, play in the Paraguayan league is suspended. In between, the first cup round is played. We meet the amateur team Horqueteña, with whom we have no trouble and win 4:0. In between, we test ourselves against local clubs. The matches are more a balm for self-confidence than matches against real opponents.

    image.png.771cd5789f1ed29ee5b1db11ce2cbc07.png

    image.jpeg.8a0394a09d223ac028370388edcdf194.jpeg

    We open the Closing Stage with an away game at Club Guaraní. And there we can put a first exclamation mark right away. Even though the game is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Blas Quintana gives us the lead after just three minutes. However, it only lasts for two minutes. After 34 minutes, Abel González scored and we were in the lead again, but Guaraní came back two minutes later. It stayed that way for a long time until Ramón Sosa put us ahead again after 72 minutes. This time, however, it stays that way and we bring home the three points. 

    The second matchday against CS San Lorenzo was similarly chaotic. This time the visitors take the lead after two minutes, but two minutes later Blas Quintana is on the spot and equalises. After that, San Lorenzo takes a 1:3 lead, but Quintana is able to score the equaliser shortly before the break.  After the break, however, San Lorenzo scored again and restored the old gap. The gap lasted until the 74th minute, when Blás Ortigoza scored again. The hope lasted only four minutes, however, and San Lorenzo went 3:5 ahead. However, our team comes back again. Ariel Melgarejo scored in the 88th minute to make it 4:5 and in the 92nd minute Abel González equalised. What a crazy game - and even one for the record books! 

    image.jpeg.eb68686aeb557824a868c983e86fa502.jpeg

    The match against Club Olimpia was less nerve-wracking and more enjoyable. We led 2-1 at the break, but had to concede defeat 4-2 after a weak second half.

    Not a good end to the Opening Stage. We lose clearly against River Plate and Club Libertad. At least we managed a big win against Octuobre on the final day. Quintana contributed another hat trick. In the end, we finish in fourth place - which is also the club's best ranking ever. So we can actually be very satisfied with the first half of the year at the new location.

    After the bad start, we can definitely catch ourselves in March. The tactics are working and the team is finally delivering. Blas Quintana in particular is having the time of his life. He scores in almost every game and is a cornerstone of our success. In general, the Paraguayan league seems a bit strange. We win against heavyweights like Club Olimpia or Club Nacional, but are then dispatched by Sportivo Luqueño 2:6.

    Unfortunately, we don't qualify for the Copa Sudamericana. We lose to Club Nacional on penalties. 

    image.jpeg.612efc47f91cf49f9eed5af14b5167ef.jpeg

    Three games left to play and it looks like we could achieve our best ever finish.

    Mixed feelings at the start. In the first match against Guaraní, I was not yet in charge. But the start under me was also difficult. It quickly became clear that the team needed time and new players. So we only scored one point and lost three games in the first four matches. The low point followed with the 0:4 defeat against Club Nacional. By then I was already worried and had the feeling that it would only last a short time with Fernando. But after that, the players had slowly learned our tactics and the two attackers were finally in a scoring mood. Blas Quintana scored a brace against Club Sol de América on the sixth matchday to give us our first win. The long wait was over. Even though the next defeat came a few days later against Luqueño. The 5:2 win over Cerro Porteño was the first sign of success, which was confirmed with a 5:1 win over Club Libertad. Once again, Blas Quintana was the outstanding player, scoring four goals!

    image.jpeg.8c3a6e08957ecdeeb342b1f0b6280694.jpeg

    Not the best start, but we are slowly starting to catch up.

  14. congratulations for your progress with vigo so far. Really like saves in spain. Nice to see you can keep up with Real and Barca. In my Valencia save, Barca unfortunately became perennial champions with several undefeated seasons... And good that you have Prime-Benfica-Darwin in your team and not the Liverpool-Nuñez :D

    As I said, we had to step up our game, especially defensively. The left defence is completely new with Joel Jímenez and Néstor Giménez. These are not long-term or top-quality solutions, but they are okay for short-term planning. For the central defence, we were able to sign the Argentine Gonzalo Luján, who is out of contract. A player with great quality and strengths in aerial combat. We are also making improvements on the wings. We loaned Julio Enciso from our league rivals Club Libertad and landed a bargain with Carlos Daniel.

    Fortunately, the club agreed to find a partner club, so we were able to park some players we couldn't register there.

     

    image.jpeg.663340424f9df5104458b79dcc33a2a6.jpeg

    Tactically, we stick to the 4-2-4, the tactic that has led us to three titles now. It also suits the team perfectly. We have a really strong goalkeeper in Zenobio. One who excels in important games and consistently delivers his performances. Just what a mediocre club needs at the back.

    In midfield, we have a strong homegrown player in Galíndez. His development is certainly not yet complete, but he could become our man in the centre in the future.

    But what I like best is our forward duo. Quintana and González fit together perfectly up front. González is the perfect target man. A brawny guy who wins the aerial duels and Quintana is a deadly enforcer.

    Club Fernando de la Mora is located in Asuncion, the capital city of Paraguay. 

    The association has not yet had any successes. In the save's first season, 2020, it managed promotion to the Copa Primera. Since then, it has been languishing there. Last season, they finished 8th in both the opening and closing stages.

    The home games are played in the tranquil Estadio Emiliano Ghezzi. I'm not including a picture this time and refer you to the YouTube video.

    A huge squad and in the end only 30 players can be nominated. At least the transfer window is open until the end of March, because there is still a lot of work waiting for us.

    At least we've come back to a club with good youth work. Especially on the offensive side, there are some talented players who I will be happy to develop further. I'm paying particular attention to the strikers Blas Quintana and Abel González. But I can also work with talents like Darío Pérez, Daniel Roa or Juan Olmedo. However, we need to upgrade our defence in particular. The goal will also be to find a partner club so that we can loan out the superfluous players.

    After all - no playoffs! In normal league play there will be an opening and a closing stage.  Each opponent is played twice in each season. The winner of each stage is crowned champion. The championship title is distributed twice a year in Paraguay.

     

  17. Job-Hunt

    New year and we are already looking for jobs again.

    There were not so many available that would be eligible for us. Several invitations followed, but the teams were either in too high a league for the moment (São Paulo) or like the Chilean clubs already multiple champions.

    image.jpeg.33e286cdf4081899e151bcd6e908aefa.jpeg

    Therefore, I focused on one of the available teams and waited until their invitation was accepted - and then it went quickly again.

    So, off to Paraguay!

    I don't know when the last time was that I finished a season without a red card.

     

    Team

    image.thumb.jpeg.01fcb54eec49fd6a9946e862fefd543b.jpeg

    This success is difficult to put into words, but I'll try using the five team pillars.

    Mariano Arzamendia was a strong back who single-handedly saved us some points. On the right wing, Leandro Suhr made a damn strong season with 11 goals and 10 assists. And then we come to the attackers. Gustavo Kawã had to move to the left wing after the arrival of Matheus Babi, but showed even better form there. Babi arrived in the summer and scored a staggering 15 goals in the Closing Stage. But that was not enough to make him the top scorer. This title was won by fan favourite Adrián Ugarriza, who contributed 20 goals and 8 assists to the title.

    Also brazilian dominance.

    no big chances here.

    We have now won three of the ten titles. Time for the next task.

    Playoff-Semifinal

    image.jpeg.1683acd1721c66356a8e4199453f8f55.jpeg

    Away from home we draw 2:2. Once again, our two Brazilian goal machines save us. Meanwhile, Cusco destroys Sporting Cristal 7:2.

    image.jpeg.d5db612f4b64f349438043a3b2b80846.jpeg

    Matheus Babi is our key to the final. There we are now outsiders against Cusco.

     

    Playoff-Final

    image.jpeg.f6504f0a1d9fcededcbade1a41a7f9ab.jpeg

    A defeat at home. We lead, but then concede three goals in five minutes. The quick connection keeps our chances alive. Nevertheless, the starting position for the second leg is not very optimal.

    image.jpeg.f943e11bc3a82243ebd187b246c4f0de.jpeg

    And then this happens in the return match. Cusco can't get anything going and Kawã puts us on course for the championship with an early brace. After Ugarriza's 3:0 at the latest, all the dams burst.

    image.jpeg.5d56eb96ff49c33e78a12eb0284faa3d.jpeg

    Yes, I don't really know how we managed to do it - thanks to the dodgy mode of the Peruvian league - but I'll gladly take the title anyway. So the adventure in Peru ends sooner than expected.

    image.jpeg.1f40b817614e8305b39af3a46365a8ef.jpeg

    14 points less than Cusco, but we are champions. I don't want to complain, but I remember why I don't want playoffs in football.

    Well, the signing of Matheus Babi was a brilliant move. He's also scored three goals in the last three games to give us two wins. But we still can't catch up with leaders Cusco.

    image.jpeg.e184de198d0e80ded6934262ff90970b.jpeg

    But either way, the table is just wastepaper. This is where the Peruvian system really gets going. The four best-ranked teams now decide on the champion in a play-off mode. We can even choose whether we want to play at home or away first. I've never seen anything like that before. Anyway, we will now meet Melgar.

    July - August 2025

    We bring a new striker into the team and change the tactics back to the tried and tested 4-2-4.

    image.jpeg.c436c8281e92489e36b636a9303873f0.jpeg

    We sold two old and overpaid players to the Emirates to relieve the salary budget a little.

    image.jpeg.78e7fef5dc25de5a38a787f38a2fa44e.jpeg

    We start well and offensively strong into the Closing Stage. We have five wins out of the eight games. The new tactics seem to fit and with Matheus Babi we have brought a goal-oriented striker into the team.

    image.jpeg.2814c8dc08b159a4ee629816909ad73e.jpeg

    Third place and only two points behind the first-placed team.

    The Peruvian Cup is also played in the summer. Here, the teams first play in a group of four, with the top two in each group qualifying for the knockout round. We manage to win our group, but then fail in the second round against Deportivo Municipal.

    image.jpeg.3bde69c29dcc0224f8a3de05ba17a6b8.jpeg

    We showed absolutely inconsistent and fluctuating performances in the Opening Stage. But no wonder, the squad is far too thin and with several injuries we are running on our last reserve. But we can't change that much, because we don't have the money for new players. Nevertheless, we finish the Opening Stage in third place in our group. Quite a good result.

    Copa Sudamericana

    image.jpeg.d9557c3f2789400ce8e37fad4baaef8f.jpeg

    Actually, we should not have qualified at all with this thin squad, because we are absolutely not competitive. Nevertheless, we are happy to take the money. On the pitch, however, we were mostly extras in the six games. In the first two games we can still keep up surprisingly well, but after that it gets bad. In Argentina, we even manage to win a point, but on the last matchday, São Paulo shows us the limits.
