Continueing this game a little... Strasbourg, who were surpisingly second at the time, proved to be difficult, but we deservedly took the win here, 1-0. Our first opponent in the CL Club proved no difficulty, as Cifuentes bagged a hattrick, 4-0. Montpellier was the next prey, 4-1. Against OM we completely dominated the game, with 24 (!) shots in the first half alone, 6-1 was the score. Lille also was no match for us as we won 5-0. Benfica was up next in the CL. Very tight match, though we totally dominated in the first quarter of the match. In the second half we managed to score, and hold on to the lead: 1-0 win. AJ Auxerre was next. We dominated, forgot to score in the first half, Almada opened the score early in the second half with a penalty and Saeid scored his first ever Nice goal, and in 5 minutes time we were 3-0 ahead. 4-0 was the final score. After the international break we were up against Lorient, we finished the game in the first half: 3-1. Leipzig... What a game that was. I was settling for a draw before Giorgi scored the winner in injury time, and Leipzig missed the draw with a shot on the bar! 2-1 win! We're first in Ligue 1 and the CL group!!! Schedule and results: Competition overview: Extended contracts of Giorgi (Huge interest) and Jefferson Keven. Sold Etienne Greene to Al-Shabab for 10,75M, bringing the transfer budget up to 23,5M.

I noticed you saying that, but I was trying to be ignorant and stubborn... I still think with his attributes Cifuentes will eventually play his best games on either wing. Cifuentes: 7 games, 4 goals (incl. hattrick in CL), 4 assists, 7,47 avg Giorgi: 7 games, 9 goals, 1 assist, 7,87 avg Magno: 7 games, 7 assists, 7,69 avg Both seem to be doing well, maybe they needed to adjust... I knew from my Bordeaux game Cifuentes needed quite some time to adjust to the wing position. He already wants to leave Nice for a bigger club though...

Okay, let's get it started! Decent pre-season, I don't play these games, but seemed okay. Decided to stick with @Derek's tactic and see what happens. Well, it certainly is a dominating tactic... Though we drew once against Brest at home, and narrowly won against Lens away. In the CL we drew against Benfica, Leipzig and Club Brugge, which I think should be a forgiving group, teams equal or maybe slightly less than ours. Schedule and results: Competition overview: - There was a LOAD of interest in Talles Magno, but no club ever made a bid, which, considering the interest, was weird. No biggies, I know his obvious talent. - Was looking to sell Arnau Comas because of his high value, age, and status in the squad, accepted 14,25M, but ultimately he decided to stay as a fringe. Will not feature much in my squad. - On deadline day Real Madrid made two bids (around 38M) on Rayan Ait-Nouri, rejected both. - Sold Helinho for 7,75M to Lazio, don't think he will be good enough. - Xavi Simons has been sold to Bayer 04 for 15,25M, very good fee. - Janis Antiste wanted to leave, considered him a backup option. 12M to Hertha BSC. - Jonas Krumrey has been sold for 2,2M to Werder, was in the second squad so happy to sell. - Antoine Mendy, also second squad, was sold for 3,4M to Mallorca, enjoy the sun there! - Antonio Oliveira has been sent on loan, I think this would be best for his development. - Bamba Dieng sold for 5,25M to Levante. - Claudy Noc sold for 9,75M to Newcastle. - Looking for midfielders, bought Yari Verschaeren off of Anderlecht for 28M. - Also bought Dorgeles Nene as a rotational player for the AMC and striker position, I'm sure he will feature in quite some games. - I thought we could also use a new goalie, bought Dominik Livakovic for 25M of Newcastle. Still have some budget left for the winter... Starting XI:

Glancing at the squad for the first time, it certainly is a very talented squad! A lot of young talents! I obviously knew some of them (Jacopi and Cifuentes)... Though the midfield is kind of weak (I think), I will look to improve this first, and with a 26M transfer budget I think I could do that. I was offered a new contract from Nice, I see it is expiring. I COULD leave them or continue. Shall I take a gamble and see if I can succeed elsewhere?

GoGoGo @Derek! Napoli definitely did not age well in this game! They made much better signings in mine! I think you rejecting them was totally justified

One of the benefits of having an owner who throws billions at the club... I think he spent around 1,5B at the moment -

Want to finish this transfer period now! Playing Juventus first in the Super Coppa, I don't regard this as much important though. We lost 3-1 deservedly, and Livakovic made a massive mistake with a shot from 45 yards or so.. Cosenza was next in line and we dominated to a 5-0 win, with Osimhen bagging 4 goals. Spezia in the Coppa is next, we trashed them 6-1 with again Osimhen bagging 4 goals! Bologna away then, it ended with a simple 3-0 victory, and a 'new signing' scored on his debut. Up next is Atalanta at home. A narrow win, though we dominated the match, 2-1. The final game before the transfer deadline is against Sassuolo, Osinhem showed his good recent form and scored a hattrick, 6-1. Schedule and results: Competition overview: On to the transfers where we have made some MAJOR moves... Like I said the transfer budget was upped to, well, a lot.. And I wanted to spend it all. - My first target is a newgen named Giorgi Jacopo, @Markitos signed him in his game and I have been after him for a while too. He will move from us from Liverpool for a record fee of 140M. He will probably play on the left wing. (Note: he is the 'new signing') Giorgi Jacopo profile: We had an extremely busy deadline day... - Fabian had an offer of Barcelona and wanted to leave, 29,5M was slightly above his value. - Fabio Vieira has also left to Man City for a total fee of 72M, happy with the deal, above his value. - Luka Romero was under transfer bid from Liverpool and I think they overpaid with 50M. Happy to sell, way above his value. - As replacement for Fabio Vieira I bought a 21yo Italian newgen of off Atalanta, Aaron Bertocchi is his name and he can play in multiple positions, for a fee of 79M. Aaron Bertocchi profile: - Also looking to improve the midfield, and believe me, I had such a hard time as players I had shortlisted for this position (Moriba, Musiala, Bellingham, De Jong, Zakharyan and Tonali) all shot up in value on deadline day, naturally. Finally settled on Nicolo Barella of Inter, for a total fee of 115M. Although he is a little on the old side, I had to make a move since the midfield has weakened with the sell of Fabian. He will play with Gravenberch in midfield. Nicolo Barella profile: All signings made were Italian, this was most of the time intentional, I want to make Napoli a more Italian team instead of a team consisting of many nationalities. Transfer overview: Ideal first XI: Extremely happy with the squad at the moment! I think the transfer period was very succesful! Though we lacking in depth in central midfield at the moment. First I had too many midfielders, I now I don't have enough. But we'll cope with it, and obviously a next target is a talented midfielder. Edit: A look at our sponsors... The money is insane! Sponsor overview: -
I tried to buy this guy in my Napoli game, he seems really good! Though in my game he was at Liverpool already and they would not let him go Terrific season really!!

First game playing is against Atl. Madrid in the CL. Madrid got red carded early and we controlled the match, but forgot to score. 0-0 was the result but we were through to the knockout round after 4 games played! Next is Empoli at home, we did not have any troubles and won the game 2-0, but should have scored more. Next is Fiorentina away. We played a good game we deserved to win, we were comfortably in lead 1-0, they got red carded, and suddenly they scored the equaliser in the 93rd minute of the game. We showed the game was not done there and Nene scored the winning goal a minute later! What a nailbiting game that was! Borussia Dortmund is up, with nothing at stake for us at this point. Crazy game, Fabian scored 4 goals, but the game was flowing all around the place, a crazy result: 6-3. Lazio! Which went easier than I expected, a deserved 3-0 win here! Spezia home is up and we won 5-0. We were 3 points loose of Milan and guess who was up next... We ran out easy 4-0 winners and currently are totally dominating the Serie A! Salzburg up next and it was an easy 3-0 win. Last two games of this year are against Torino and Udinese and both are away games. Torino was won 1-0, Udinese was surprisingly strong beat us 1-0, and are, also surprisingly, in second place! In the first knockout round of the CL we are up against Hoffenheim. The first game is against Salernitana at home which we won 4-0 easily! Schedule and results: Competition overview: The transfer budget has again been upped to 97M in total, but I'm at a loss at the moment who I want to buy. Just for fun I made Moukoko my main target but he is at 260M (!). - Eljif Elmas has been sold to Real Madrid for 24,5M, and Luka Susic has also been sold to Bayer Leverkusen for 39,5M -
I will defo look into that one! Watching Arrested Development at the moment, funny show

Nice performance! Exceeding all expectations, you should definitely win Coupe de France! Good luck!

Vitesse lost the playoffs today. It has been a weird season with Vitesse playing awesome in Europe, with Vitesse losing against Europe Conference League winners Roma... Matches they probably should and could have won overall. In the league they were overall pretty bad, and lacklustre, but managed to secure playoffs for Conference League by finishing 6th in the league. The Final over two matches was against AZ and the home game was won 2-1, which was a good win! The away game was a game to sum up the bad season of football Vitesse had, as they lost 6-1. The hard work begins now. Right now. The owner is looking to sell the club. A lot of strong players are leaving the club. What will the future hold? Will the club still exist in a few years?

Starting after the international break we play against Sassuolo. We had a difficult first half but scored twice in the second half to win the game 3-1. Playing our first CL game and it is a home vs Salzburg. A dominating performance from the lads saw us ran out easy 3-0 winners. AS Roma away was a up next and after a tough first half, we pulled the game in our favour winning 2-1. Next up is another tough game against Inter at home. We played a decent game, but a difficult one for us. Edging it 1-0. Like last year we have a string of difficult matches as Juventus away is up after this one. I really cannot explain what happened here, it seemed to be such a nervy game from our side, or did Juve just play THAT good? We were just 1-0 behind after the first half. I tried to motivate the players and everyone reacted positively, but got the total opposite out the players... A 4-0 trashing and I was fuming. Granted that I really had to rest some key players in this match... Our next game is again a difficult one: Borussia Dortmund! I wanted to see improvement over the last match. We were quickly 1-0 behind, but it was our turn after this... We turned the first half around leading 2-1, and further dominated the second to win 4-1! Cagliari at home in the Serie A is next. We totally dominated this game, but only narrowly won 2-1. After the international break we play against Benevento. ............. Next! ... Which is the home game against Atl. Madrid at home. First minute: Osimhen. 3rd minute: Nene. 2-0 ahead! We finished the first half 3-0 ahead with Osimhen again scoring (He is on a roll lately!) and played out the second half professionally. On to Brescia away in the Serie A, where Lucas quickly opened the score! Osimhen, coming on as a substitute, made it 2-0 with a penalty. Verona home was a really good game, a dominating 5-0 win despite Osimhen missing a penalty. Despite the heavy loss against Juventus which is (I think) an incident, we have played such dominating games... We tie with Milan in points at the moment in the Serie A. In the CL we are totally dominating the group, with totally convincing wins against all teams so far. Schedule and results: Competition overview: Chelsea have made Diego Paolino their main target. And you know if that happens you will likely lose the battle to keep him. I have at the moment no interest in other players to buy, just looking for cheap talent here and there. I have put another player of Bordeaux again on my shortlist though: Maximiliano Milano, a newgen winger I bought for them. Not really interested, just keeping an eye on him, because he is great. Also Giorgio Valia of them is on my shortlist, also a newgen with a load of talent... BUT, we will see how it goes! I'm happy with the team at the moment, I don't think there is need to improve unless I find a gem or bargain. -
Typically @Derek you mean!

@Derek Why did you have to storm the stadium without a ticket? Good luck, good luck good luck!!!!!

Does someone watch 'Somebody Feed Phil' on Netflix? This show is such a joy to watch if you like food! In this show Phil Rosenthal (known as a producer of Everybody Loves Raymond) visits various cities around the world and explores the food culture. He delivers it with so much enthusiasm, joy and humour! In the end of every episode he always phones his mother and father (they both passed away now) where his father always tells a joke, but it is a really heartwarming segment of the show. My favorite food show on Netflix by a mile!

And my expectations are still low, top 4, CL group stage is the goal, first knockout round, which is a little more difficult seeing the group. But with this team... With a little luck I could win the CL -
Feyenoord vs Roma! I so hope Feyenoord will win this final!
