SRL88 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 December 2030 - Continued Champions League Well sadly we couldnt break Palermo down. We have had to settle for second place in the group, but we had luck on our side in the draw as we have been draw against Marseille in the First Knockout Round.

PaulHartman71 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 yeah echo tomtuck's comments, looks like Barcelona could really start to get a lead on you, your next game with them will be massive!

Also, Shamrock in the k/o rounds is crazy! Would be impressive for a human manager let alone the AI! Yeah the league is looking out of the question at the moment. I am pleased though because it shows how difficult breaking Real Madrid and Barcelona is really. It also gives me a much bigger challenge than what I have had at any of my previous clubs. Probably the biggest challenge I have had since Darlington really because getting them to perform at such a high standard was very difficult. Regarding Shamrock, it is an excellent achievement. They came second in a group consisting of Liverpool, Sampdoria and Shakhtar . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 SRL88's Career - January 2031 - Atletico Madrid Liga BBVA A perfect month for us to kick off the new year. We started with a hard fought win away to Malaga before two comfortable wins over both Cordoba and Grenada to leave us a massive 8 points off leaders Barcelona and 3 points ahead of our biggest rivals, Real Madrid. Copa Del Rey 5th Round, Quater-Final and Semi-Final 1st Leg As you can tell, we have been pretty busy in the Copa Del Rey in January. We breezed past both Xerez and Villarreal, so much that in the second leg I was able to give a lot of the younger players an opportunity to impress. The Semi-Final has drawn us against Malaga and in the first leg we more than deserved victory away from home but I am happy to settle for a 0-0 draw with the second leg still to come at the Vincent Calderon. If we manage to get through this tie we will face the winner of the Real Madrid/Gimnastic tie with Madrid leading 3-1 after their home leg. Transfers - In A few transfers in January to help freshen things up but also strengthen the squad which we already have in place. We spent a bit of money, but they are all well worth the money. Ganso - £15m - The big money signing of the window from Grenada. We have a lot of attacking minded midfielders and I thought we needed more of an all rounder.Georges Corea - £8m - A very good striker signed from Ukranian side Karpaty. Should be a solid player once he settles in. William Romero - £4m - A young player who actually has a 5* potential according to numerous coaches. I am really looking to see his development. Sergio Gabilondo - Loan - Brought in on loan due to the departure of our back-up goalkeeper. At least he wont whinge. Transfers - Out Well there were a few departures during the January window. The two bigger deals of the month were players I signed at the start of the season on free transfers and were complaining about not getting enough first team football so I feel that we have got a decent deal out of that in all honesty. I sold Fabio to compensate for the the arrival of Ganso and against the fans wishes I decided to sell Diego Cortizo. He had just turned 34 and despite his fantastic stats, he was in the final year of his contract and I wanted to sell him rather than lose him on a free.

SRL88 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 SRL88's Career - February 2031 - Atletico Madrid Liga BBVA Another fantastic month which see's us continue our winning streak and close the gap at the top a little from eight, to six points. We started with an unbelievable win away to high flying Athletic Bilbao thanks to a first half onslaught. All four of our goals came in the first half, and despite taking our foot off the pedal in the second and conceding, it was a very comfortable game. Our next game against Gimnastic was a really hard fought one. I made a few changes and it showed. We were level at 1-1, but two late goals were enough to give us the win. We breezed past Levante before struggling to overcome Sevilla. Still, we are sitting nicely in second place and have also increased the gap between ourselves and Real.

SRL88 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 February 2031 - Continued Copa Del Rey Semi-Final 2nd Leg A hard fought win over Malaga, but a one which see's us reach the Copa Del Rey Final in my first season in charge (the club's second Final in a row). We left it until midway through the second half to grab the goal which sent us through but I was still bouncing with joy. Our opponents will be none other than Real Madrid in the Final. Champions League First Knockout Round 1st Leg A truely excellent performance and result pretty much puts us into the next round unless something remarkable happens in the second leg.

SRL88 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Slowly edging your way to the top, the next match with Barca will be big! Agreed. It might take a head to head win in the match against Barca for you to have a chance at the league title. Our next game against Barca is at the Nou Camp and is sandwiched in between an away tie against Valencia and a home game against Real Madrid. Those three games will make or break our season I feel. Beat Barca for me, will you? And, I don't normally say this, but beat Real too. Doing well in the CL, could win a cup double(And maybe even a treble!!) Haha I will try. I cant see us claiming the treble in all honesty, but I am highly optomistic in the Copa Del Rey. Man Utd have just beaten Real Madrid 9-1 on aggregate (including 6-1 away from home) so I can sense us putting a few past them. The Champions League final 8 is between us, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Bayern, Palermo, Fiorentina and Barcelona. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 SRL88's Career - March 2031 - Atletico Madrid Liga BBVA Technically this was a very good month, but finally the pressure of trying to keep up with Barcelona has taken its toll on us. We got off to a good start in the month with two solid away wins against Espanyol and Osasuna. This was followed up with a brilliant display infront of our own fans against Valladolid. We went to Zaragoza in our next game and despite our struggles at times we grabbed two important goals to keep us in touch with Barca. Sadly however, our brilliant winning streak of 12 games came to an end with a poor performance at home to Cartagena. Despite taking the lead they pegged us back and eventually took the lead themselves. We went all out for the last half hour and although we grabbed an equiliser, we were unable to grab the decisive third goal as we dropped points and slipped further behind Barcelona. Champions League First Knockout Round 2nd Leg A very disciplined performance in France see's us comfortably into the next round. We have been handed the best possible draw in the Quater-Final and a game we must look to win. If we manage to get through then we will face either of the Manchester clubs in the Semi-Final.
