Gloria al Sammarinese...and myself

WHAT A MONTH! YES!

6 points off of a crucial away draw at Roma, unlucky-not-to-win draws at home against Genoa and Torino, and a lovely 2-1 home win against Pescara!!!

The 0-1 loss away at Inter was encouraging and they only won that because of a stunning off the post freekick from Kostas Stafylidis, a Greek left-back who had a couple of stunners against me in that game for San Marino months ago!



Have I left it too late?! gotta keep the faith!

You can do it!! God knows how many points you'd be behind if you had won those games that ended in draw in this month

God it's gonna come down to the wire!!! I know man!!!! If only we could have pulled something more outta those matches

BUT YA GOTTA BELIEVE!!!

Another solid month

The loss at Fiorentina was actually frustrating, both their goals were lame, an O.G. then a corner scramble, and we were actually predicted to draw the game.

Had to rescue a point at Livorno in a game where we should have won, but an away point will do.

YES! A relegation 6-pointer against Catania at home was inspiring!



EEEK! Have I left it too late, or can we do it!?

Again, a decent performance against Greece, but they took their chances. As you can see they dominated possession, but we certainly had our goalmouth chances. Should have put at least 1 or 2 in

Much better month BELIEVE.

Ughhhhhh!

A great 6-point home win against Spezia.

Needed the whole three points against Atalanta gave up a 2-0 halftime lead.

We were 1-1 with Lazio in the 70th minute, then two silly giveaways at the back gifted them the three points.

A frustrating home loss against Sampdoria, with their two goals coming in the final 20 minutes of the matches, the game that I believe to be the proverbial nail in the coffin



I think we're going down gents I have the belief, but 2 out of our last 3 matches are away at Juve and Milan....




I have the belief, but I just don't think we have the quality.

Welp



Like I said, Juve and Milan are 2 out of the last 3 games, and I lost to Milan away. Turns out the Juve game is at home but whatever, they are Juve and in 2nd.

Something that also happened in this Aprilia at A.C. Milan match.



Milan's first title since 2011.

Welp, I posted about the Milan game, we got dominated.

In the Juve game I sent all those that requested transfers following our relegation to the reserves, and put every Sammarinese on my team not out on loan in the Senior squad, so to say the team that played Juventus was weak is an understatement. 19 tear old half-star Sammarinese regens vs. Carlos Fierro, Cabaye, Pogba, etc haha

A fitting final loss to our parent club Palermo. Took the lead early through a 17 year old who I had given a contract the day before, so he has 1 Serie A appearance and 1 Serie A goal which is neat, and then lost it all.



Rock bottom, still got the message that 20th is our record highest position in Serie A which made me giggle.

So it seems despite rock bottom relegation, I am still part of the Apriliani!!!!

Time to yo-yo back up!

Despite the relegation, we are using dat Serie A cheddah:


The stadium expansion from last season was completed the day after the Juve game, so I never got to play a game in it, since we have to move to another stadium for this expansion that will take 11 months.

Decent home draw against Bolivia. Wish we could have held onto the win, but I'll take it.



With his brace in the Bolivia game Tomassini has passed the greatest player in Sammarinese history, Andy Selva, for the international goals record. These are the neat things that I am hoping will occur in the coming years that I can attribute to my doings



Blegh. Lucky to escape a home draw with Haiti poor. I did put out almost an entirely different team than the Bolivia game though, different = weaker. So I suppose that has something to do with it.

Gutted At lease you gave it your best shot

Fear not, the future is bright I see Serie A back in it

Decent Preseason management by my Assistant!



Let a ton of Free's go. Sold or loaned out as many of the guys raging about the relegation as I could, for the best prices I could manage. Co-owned Vadalá with Juve, so it's nice to be able to hold onto him. Those that came in are mostly regens or role players with some experience. Biassaadila and Koumourias are some excitingly talented youngsters though! Team is really not too good might just need to stabilize in the Serie B for a few seasons like I originally intended.

P.S. Sorry about the lack of update for a month, been quite busy!

ughhhh. Started decently with a solid cup win but now it's gone a tad pear shaped in the beginning. Suppose it'll be another long season, however I am confident we won't be relegated, but maybe finish in the bottom half.

In terms of transfers, was able to loan out the last rager from relegation, the South-African midfielder Patosi, to Olhanense over in Portugal.

Good to see this back! Tough start in the league.

Thanks man! makes me smile that yah say that. Yeah, gotta tighten it up, really don't know my full starting 11 yet even.

Austria have become monsters in this game



A decent result away in Denmark, but it's obvious by the match stats that we held on by a thread and as such the score flattered us.



Still not bottom and we've scored some.

Great too see this back! Tough start to the season! Great too see you are not bottom of your group with San Marino!

Good to see this back going to be tough but hopefully you can lift the team!

Thanks guys. Excited about the Sammarinese part of the save, the Aprilia part....as you say Dan, gotta lift em

Ugh. We've had alot of disallowed goals so far this season.

Annoyingly, our performances haven't really deserved much, but was delighted to pick up the 3 points against Modena.

The Bé strike that earned us the draw at home against Cagliari was a 30 yard screamer, which gave me a smirk.



... lord it's gonna be a task this season. We've seemed to continue our losing ways.

Still early to tell, got lot of time to change fortune. Good luck!

YESSSSS!!!! Another competitive victory!!!! Cyprus has become the bitch of San Marino. This is especially tickling considering the recent Cyprus victory by the real national team.



Tough match away at qualification hopefuls Belarus. Gave it our all.



San Marino finishes a qualification not on the bottom of a group, and with two wins. Can you believe it?!



Look at us go!!! Trying to break into the top-100!!!!



Highest since '93. Man, we're setting age-old records

Brilliant San Marino win!

Finally starting to play like I know we can

Should have taken the 3 points against Nocerina as well, but at least we are out of the drop zone and looking good in our play!



Out of the drop, now it's time to solidify a mid table standing

Came good at the end of the month, keep it going buddy!

Thanks Dan!! The San Marino wins are fuckin ohmazing to experience!!!

Exactly, I think il Apriliani are starting to roll.

Right on man!

Good performance against Tanzania, should have maybe tucked away more of our chances, but I'll take the draw.



Pathetic performance against Sudan. I underestimated them. I'll take responsibility for this one

One more win to chalk off though mate
