SRL88 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 SRL88's Career - Pre-Season - 2034/35 - Boca Juniors Friendlies Not the best of pre-season's in terms of results but the performances were very pleasing, especially against such big opponents. To have pretty much held Inter, Porto and Trabzonspor to a draw showed how good we are. We also drew with Penarol and grabbed a brilliant win over Espanyol. Transfers - InGerman Bolzan - Free - An excellent free transfer. Will add lots of experience to our side. Juan Carlos Soto - Loan - Brought in on loan as a back-up in the right back position. Something we lacked last season. Jose Luis Garcia - Loan - Another player brought in as a back-up. Martin Galvan - Loan - An excellent prospect at Inter Milan. Certainly a player who I would like to aid in the development of. Mauro Parrado - Free - A cracking free transfer. Will add a lot of quality to our side. Transfers - Out A few departures during the transfer window, but the main talking points are the sales of Mauricio Bermudez and Marcos Novgorosky. Bermudez has spent most of his two years at the club injured and when Schalke came in with a £10.5m offer I found it impossible to reject. The sale of Novgorosky annoyed me though. Genoa put a bid in which matched a release clause and I just couldnt reject it. When he negotiated his contract he insisted on it being in. I am gutted to lose him.

I am really pleased with how pre-season went. Oh Parrado is going to score bags for you. Was he released or just decided not to re-sign? I am looking forward to unleashing Parrado, I must say . I put him on my shortlist at the start of last season, and as soon as it had 6 months left to run I offered him a contract ASAP and snapped him up.

SRL88 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 SRL88's Career - August 2034 - Boca Juniors Apertura Just the one game in August, but what a game it was as we got off to a fantastic start in the Apertura. A fantastic performance resulted in a very nice 5-1 win on the opening day for us. Recopa Well luckily for us, away goals didnt come into effect. We were poor in the first leg and had to come from behind to get a 1-1 draw. The second leg was very end to end, but we managed take the game to penalties. In what was a poor penalty shoot-out, we won 3-1 to lift the Recopa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2034 - Brazil Friendlies Two cracking wins to follow up on our success at the World Cup. We were brilliant in an attacking fashion against the Czech's, but probably didnt have as much of the play as I would have liked. A very solid display against Russia followed and despite breezing into a 2-0 lead, they gave us a tough game afterwards. We managed to hold tight and despite a late goal, we managed to come away with a brilliant 2-1 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 SRL88's Career - September 2034 - Boca Juniors Apertura A truely excellent month as our 100% start to the season continues. A cracking 1-0 win away to Banfield was followed up with what will definitely be the win of the season. Our biggest rivals for trophies All Boys gave us a good game, but ultimately we got the win, an excellent 2-1 win. We faced yet another tricky away fixture in our next encounter but a Luis De Leon penalty was enough to give us the win. The month was rounded off with two solid 3-0 wins as we have a nice little gap at the top of the table after just six games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 So the clubs takeover is complete by an Italian Consortium. Looking at these messages, this is truely fantastic times for Boca as a club. There looks to be plenty of money in the pockets of the owners and they dont look shy to spend it. On a personal note, I am slightly worried about my future!!!

Italians will probably put in an Italian manager and then buy a load old has been Italian players, bit like Watford are trying in real life Managed to get myself to the Brazilian State Championship semi final which was a bit of shock, especially as I dumped out Santos on pens in the quarters but ultimately went out on pens against Sao Paulo in the semis!

Northernpilgrim Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 According to Wikipedia, there are 10 teams in CONMEBOL and 12 that contest the Copa America, which means 2 teams are invited every time. The next tournament is in 2015, and the invited countries are Mexico and Japan. Perhaps it's too difficult for SI to accommodate invitations to Confederation Championships, and so they've picked 2 as a permanent fixture? Wonder who the other is?

SnakeXe Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 They withdrew because of the disaster last year.
