THE LAST GREEK HERO

Dimitris Kalinakis 

Dimitris is just a random guy from Ilioupoli, in the suburbs of Athens. He just became manager of the local team, Ilioupoli FC which competes in the second division of the Greek football pyramid. 

He will be the protagonist of this carreer, which wants to be a journeyman around a couple of European Leagues. It's going to be chill, we are just going around the continent to play in some leagues I would like to play before the new chapter comes out. We may win and we may lose, but none of it matters.

In the next update we will meet the team and talk about tactics. For now that's all. See you soon!

MEET THE TEAM

Ilioupoli has a team that is predicted to finish in the middle of the league, and with only one spot available for promotion we can safely expect not to be involved in the promotion battle. The board is much more pessimistic than me, and will be pleased if we don't finish dead last! 

In my opinion the team is capable of avoiding the relegation tussle, but I can live with a low pressure/low ambition management. Let's take a paragraph to show you the noteworthy memebers of the squad, so that you can make an opinion for yourself. 

The team captain is Giannis Gotsoulias, nothing special technically speaking but a lot of experience in the helleinc lower leagues. He was the captain when Dimitris got here, he will remain captain. We don't want to mess up the dynamics straight away! 

The best player is the argentinan winger Franco Costa, who just landed in Europe after spending his whole carreer in South America. His pay is more than double the second highest salary, and rightfully so. Our striker Apostolos Giannou is a good experienced forward, who might still have some more junk in his trunk. Finally our midfilder Carlos Ramos, who decided to take a big step and come to the old continent after spending his early years in his homecountry of Venezuela. 

The only signing Dimitris did was Spyros Fourlanos, free agent, to give some more options in the defensive side of the pitch. 

The first game in Dimitris professional carreer will be against Apollon Paralimnium, a team competing in the third level of the greek pyramid. The game will be the third round of the greek cup. In theory we will be favourites, so hopefully we can make a good impression straight away.

The game revealed more complex than expected. We conceded an early goal and had an hard time coming back in the game. The equalizing goal was signed by our ghanian whinger Roe Addo. We had to go to extra-time to break the equilibrium, but ultimetly we managed to win it with a gol from the other ghanian winger Frimpong. 

The next game will be for the 4th round against Olimpiakos Volou, a team of the 4th tier. On paper it should be easier, in reality we will live to see. 

Next update will be with a bit more games, seen a little bit less in detail! See you soon!
