Huracán 2015 Season Review

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-710mq_7jiHk/VGvFq22TgiI/AAAAAAAAARY/ZP_ikr5UHWU/s200/88.png

League:
Expectation (media): 15th -> Finished 5th
Expectation (board): Respectable mid-table ->Finished with continental qualification
Final League Tablee
Comments: We had a very solid start, and leaded the tournament for most of the part. We also had a very "old" squad and by the end of the season they could not perform as they were performing before. We got into a 4 games losing streak but even tho managed to achieve a much higher place then expected. I evaluate our position as a really good position and I am proud about being qualified for the Libertadores.

Cup
Expectation (media): Reach the second round (round of 64) -> Reached Quarter Finals after losing to Boca.
Comments: Again we reached beyond anyone could expect. And its not like we had a easy path, we faced some big teams like San Lorenzo (round of 64) and Velez (round of 16). The game against Boca was a close one (2-1) and we dominated the second half deserving to at least go to penalties.

Team
Top scorer: Patricio Toranzo (7)
Top assists: Patricio Toranzo (12)
Top average rating: Lucas Villarruel (7.38)
Best player (my opinion): Cristian Espinoza
Worse player {my opinion}: Agustín Torrasa

Racing Club de Avellaneda

As part of my objective cited in the beginning of the story I had to become a manager of one of Argentina's big-five team. And no team is better then Racing because they have a fascinating story, here are some main points:

Completely dismissive of the disastrous performances on the pitch, Racing fans have made suffering into a virtue. On March 7, 1999, when the club was temporarily sus­pended from the league due to bankruptcy, they (the fans) turned up in full colours at Academia (stadium) all the same, throwing paper and fireworks and sing­ing for 90 minutes as if the game were in progress.

When Racing fans were out celebrating their World Club Championship win against Celtic in 1967, Independiente supporters entered the Racing stadium and buried seven black cats around the prem­ises. This, for many Racing fans, is the primary reason for their disastrous performance over the following years. Eventually, six of the cats were found and exhumed, but the seventh could not be located. In 1999, in the midst of bankruptcy, 100,000 Racing fans marched to the stadium, where a priest carried out an ex­orcism and predicted that the cause of the curse would soon come to light.

Review:
I am not completly satisfied with our squad as Racing don't have a really "hardworking" squad. I intend to reformulate the entire squad in 3 years or less, and this season I will be looking to use a lot the transfer market. Also I want to implement a lot of youth player so I will be looking to upgrade my staff to the best possible
