Tried a 451/4231 but width doesn't seem to work to well in Brazil with all the 422 formations etc I suppose it depends on your players. If you havent got any decent wingers then I would go narrow, but if you do then use width. I always find a 4-2-3-1 formation works. Good job with the Sudamericana Galvan is pretty impressive I must say Cheers dude. You are right, Galvan is fantastic. Its hard to believe he started my first season as a back-up.

SRL88 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 SRL88's Career - December 2033 - Boca Juniors Apertura Sadly our fantastic run of form came to an end at the complete wrong time. We started December with a very nice 4-0 win at home to Rosario, but that was the start of an extremely congested fixture list which the Argentine FA conjured up for us as we began to run on those cheap 30p batteries that you get from the shops. God we were exhausted byt he end of the run (more on that in a bit). Anyway, the game against Colon was the game which effectively handed the title to All Boys as we just couldnt get the job done. We rounded off the Apertura with a disappointing defeat away to Arsenal. Copa Argentina 5th Round A fantastic performance and a brilliant result against Colon. The win set up a 6th Round tie against Second Division side San Martin (T). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRL88 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 December 2033 - Continued Copa Sudamericana Final 2nd Leg A very good performance resulted in a comfortable win to see us win the Sudamericana to cap off what was a brilliant tournament for us. World Club Championship Semi-Final and Final What a truely fantastic achievement for us. Despite our utter dominance in the Semi-Final, we had to rely on a last minute goal in extra time to set up the expected Final against Real Madrid. In the Final I got my tactics completely spot on. I allowed Real to have all the possession they wanted and sat deep to frustrate the living daylight out of them. We scored very early on in the game which allowed us to have something to defend and despite all their pressure they just couldnt break down our solid defence. The second half was pretty much exactly the same as the first. We let Real have all the possession in the world but we grabbed a second goal to make the result a little more comfortable. Real's pressure resulted in nothing for them as we grabbed a brilliant 2-0 win and claim the clubs first ever World Club Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find a 4-2-3-1 formation works. . Tbh the team is decent in both areas even before signings (I'm Guarani in 2nd Division) but I found the 4-2-3-1 not defensively sound and a lot of goals were conceded through attacks down the middle where teams would pass around in front of back 4 before splitting them with a killer ball. Doesnt help im in a middle of a season and brazilian teams are not used to playing with width so takes a long time for the formation to become competent let alone fluid. Might just stick with a narrow formation until end of season and then use the pre-season to bed in a 4231 when the players are used to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that the win over Real is one of the most satisfying wins I have ever had.

Might just stick with a narrow formation until end of season and then use the pre-season to bed in a 4231 when the players are used to it.

SRL88 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 SRL88's Career - Mid-Season - 2033/34 - Boca Juniors Friendlies Not the best of results, but we had a hard month prior to this and we did come home with the World Club Championship so I cant complain about a couple of defeats in friendlies. At least the lads kept up their match fitness. Transfers - Out No signings during the mid-season break but there was one departure, all be it on loan, but our number one last season wanted first team football and I couldnt give him it so I allowed him to leave.

tomtuck01 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Awesome performance in the Club World Cup. And in the Apertura it looks like All Boys simply win by smashing loads of goals in - their tally is crazy! I thought whether there was a Super Cup between the Libertadores and Sudamericane winners, but didn't quite follow what buzz2k7 was getting at with the Brazil thing. Sounded more like he expected a Super Cup between the Brazilian League winners and the Argentine League winners, hence my confusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 All Boys scoring loads of goals there.

I was never going to beat them on goal difference, which is why when we drew with Colon I knew our chance was over. I didnt understand Buzz' post at first but when I got the message through I clicked. Its weird that it isnt played until the start of next season though. All Boys scoring loads of goals there. Absolutely brilliant beating Real Madrid, I think that has to be the most impressive win of your career so far.On a side note, have any ex-players gone on to be good managers? Definitely the best win of my career and probably one of my best ever. I cant remember every player who I have managed, but going through the ones who I have signed and sold over the years (up until about 2027 because after that they are most likely still playing), here is the list of players who have gone on to become Managers: Brad Guzan (Managed him at Aston Villa) Daniel (Managed him on loan from Liverpool when at Darlington and Managed him at Liverpool when I went there) Filipe Carvalhinho (Managed him on loan at Darlington) Gary Gardner (Managed him at Aston Villa) Jack Robinson (Managed him at Liverpool) Jason Ball (Managed him at Blackpool) Jordan Mustoe (Managed him at Darlington) Kyriakos Papadopoulos (Managed him at Liverpool) Madinda Chunga (Managed him at Liverpool) Marc Albrighton (Managed him at Aston Villa) Marcelo Mattos (Managed him at Blackpool) Michael Parker (Managed him at Blackpool) Remzil Huylu (Managed him at Kirklarelispor) Tom Lees (Managed him at Aston Villa) Tsepo Masilela (Managed him at Aston Villa) Wow, the All Boys grabbed a huge amount of goals in a short span. Yeah it was rather ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
