Italian youngster Danilo Cataldi and Cape Verdean left defender Nivaldo have join the club on loan for the rest of the season. Due to the financial problems of the club there will be no more transfers, at least until january 2015.

They both mentioned that they're happy to play for a club as important as Anderlecht and said that they'll be giving the best of themselves, iin order to help to fulfill the team's expectations for this season.

Pieter Robert Rensenbrink is a former Dutch football player and member of the Dutch national football team that reached two World Cup finals in 1974 and 1978. A creative left winger or forward of considerable talent, he became a legend in Belgium whilst playing in the great Anderlecht side of the 1970s. A talented dribbler as well as a cool finisher, he only ever missed two penalties in his entire career, and often enjoyed telling the keeper beforehand where he was going to place the ball, and then still beating him there. He was also the first winner of the Onze d'Or.

Rensenbrink started his career at DWS, an Amsterdam amateur club, before moving to Belgian side Club Brugge in 1969. Between 1971 and 1980 he played for Anderlecht where he enjoyed his greatest club successes. In total when in Belgium he twice won the Belgian Championships, the Belgian Cup five times and at European club level the European Cup Winners' Cup twice (in 1976 and 1978 as well as being runner-up in 1977). Among his team mates was Dutch internationalist compatriot, Arie Haan. In 1980, he left Anderlecht and wound down his career with a spell at Portland Timbers in the NASL, followed by a brief stay with Toulouse in France in 1981.

In the 1978 FIFA World Cup tournament in Argentina, the Netherlands again reached the final, but this time without Cruijff (who decided to retire from international football) and under the guidance of Ernst Happel rather than Michels. Out of the shadow of Cruijff, Rensenbrink found more room to showcase his own considerable talent, playing on the left-hand side of a front three alongside Johnny Rep and René van de Kerkhof. He scored a hat-trick in the opening game against Iran, another against Scotland which was goal number 1000 in World Cup history and a penalty in the 5–1 win over Austria. In the final against Argentina, the Netherlands yet again met the hosts. In a tumultuous match, the Netherlands fell behind to a first-half Mario Kempes strike. After Dick Nanninga's equalizer 9 minutes from time, a long pass from the Dutch captain Ruud Krol in the last 30 seconds of normal time gave Rensenbrink a half-chance to score but his shot from a very narrow angle was deflected on to the post and bounced clear. Had he scored, it is likely that Holland would have won the World Cup with Rensenbrink being top goal scorer. Argentina scored twice in extra-time for a 3–1 victory and the Netherlands again had to settle for the runners-up spot.

The club has appointed former international star Robert Rensenbrink as the new manager. Rob will be replacing Besnik Hasi since the team ended up as 3rd. place last season.

"It was something I had to do. I never really had the chance to manage a team before and it's one of the thing I need to do before I pass away." Said Rensebrink when we asked him the reasons why he's starting his manager experience at the age of 67.

Robert had a total of 262 appearances scoring nothing less than 143 goals during his 10 years in the White&Purple house, becoming one of the legends of the club. However, he never managed a proffesional football team before.

Hey guys! Your campaign looks amazing!

I've just started following the story. I've been reading it (most of it) and if you ever need anyone else, I'd like to join!

Cheers! Keep it up!

Sorry, I didn't see that you were asking for a PM hahaha.

I'll send it right away!

Like on FM13, if you're missing people you can count on me

Great results mate! That victory against Totthenham was superb!

It's seems like we'll be playing Champions League next season!

That's just awesome man! So we made it to the quarter finals, right? Who is it?

I sent Jack the link for the download already!

We should probably try to get some newgens before they sign contract with their clubs. If I'm not mistaken, in Germany they appear on the March 8th. Is the same date for Croatia, France Greece and Russia!

I already sent the message to Charlie!

So next game was againist Schalke. Nijenhuis gets inside and shoots! 0-1 at 37'! We could mantain that score almost all game long. We were defendinf pretty good until the 90th minute, when they got a corner and Huntelaar ties the game... I almost broke my computer though hahahaha




I had a bad feeling about the game against Liverpool, however in the 3rd minute Lucas Leiva was injured... Then, right in the 20th minute Diego passes the ball to Anichebe (Lange was suspended) and he gets the mark, leaving N'Dombou alone wich gave him enough time to shoot accurately! 1-0!
Luis Suarez was sent off at 25th and the game couldn't be any better! However, in the second half Liverpool started pushing and pushing and I couldn't manage them. I was really nervous until we finally got ourselves a corner kick. Halsntenberg kicks it and Yesil (Liverpool) couldn't trhow it away... OWN GOAL AT THE 83RD MINUTE! And yet again, after a lot of bounces, Anchebe gets the ball and scores again! 3-0 AGAIST LIVERPOOL!




Very confident after that awesome win, we played against Hannover (18th in the table). All of our team were attacking all the time, that's why we got 4 different players to score!




I was really anxious about the game against Liverpool. Even though they were not going to have Suarez nor Lucas Leiva I knew that they were going to attack with the whole 11 players. So basically I set up the team so we could defend with 11 players hahahaha
I started shaking at 25th when they scored... But it was offside! So 0-0 half time with us creating 0 chances to score. 86th minute and Sturridge scores... AND THAT WAS IT!
We managed to beat Liverpool and we left them out of Europe for this season!... But the hapiness was gone when I saw that we got At. Madrid for next round hahaha




I signed a Central Defender who had no contract. According to the scouts he's pretty good, so I think we should give him a try.




I didn't know what to expect about game against Stutgart. They were above us but the team was playing very well... Anyway Mathoto (the new guy) gets a ball from a Corner Kick and scores his first goal on Germany. Besides that, nothing really important happened on the game and we won 0-1.




And last but not least, we played against Bayern München. There's nothing much to say with they being on top of the table, almost the Champions... Their defense was superb and we barely have 1 chance on the first half. Thanks to our keeper (he gave a concert in the back) we ended up only 2-0.




However we're 4th after 24 games! We had really good chances to go to Europe next season!




I'm done with my two months, who's next?

Back into Bundesliga, press were expecting a win from Kaiserlautern so we went out with a defensive strategy.

However, in the 68th minute Spur-Mortensen steals it when Kaiserlauter were starting their attack; he shoots but a defender blocks it and Malinowski recovers the ball. He crosses it to Spur-Mortensen again but he couldn't controll it and... BOOM! Lange appears right behind him and scores with a magnificent shoot!




Next game was home, against Düsseldorf (currently 13th). It looked pretty simple... well, it wasn't! The clock had only 2 minutes when Spur-Mortensen passes it to Piantoni, he crosses it and the defenders got stock, so Lange takes advantage of that situation and saves it right in the bottom of the net. Their GK didn't even move!
Then unfortunately the scored and it was 1-1. It was until the 85th minute when Lange saved us. He scored again at 90(+2) and we ended up winning 3-1.




So, we're 6th on the table and we Receive Mainz on the last game of January. 14th minute and Halstenberg crosses it from the left wing all the way to Mainz's small area, where Piantoni appears alone right between the central defenders and, without letting the ball touch the ground, scores the first of the game. Mainz started attacking very often, luckly we had a Kevin Müller on a great shape and he stoped averything they threw at him. The game ended up 1-0 and we secured our 5th place on the table.




So January ends with 3 positive results and a Patrick Lange on a great shape. Unfortunately for us, we our calendar looks pretty tough:






Let's rely on Lange's goals to succeed the next games!

So I had to start all over again... At least Diego didn't get injured

We got an offer from Freiburg (currently 15th on the league) that we obviously rejected:




Then Messi won both prices and... LANGE WAS NAMED EUROPEAN GOLDEN BOY!








We also got this kid from Fürth who will be joining the club on June, for free:




Last but not least, we completed the friendlys (hope it's spelled correctly) of the mid season with some very positive scores, incluiding a great victory against the great South American team River Plate!






Now we'll get back into bussiness when we go to the Fritz-Walter-Stadion to play against Kaiserlautern who are currently 5th. If we won this game (and other teams lose their games) we could be able to take that 5th position.

I'm sorry guys! Windows gave me a bluescreen in the middle of the 3rd friendly. Unfortunately I lost the progress and, since the game was corrupted, I had to download it all over again!

I'll keep you updated!

So we played our first winter friendly (Or at least the Assistant Manager did. I didn't realize he was in charge) and we had a good result.

Definetly we started with the wrong foot...

BTW, I'm sorry I wasn't posting or commenting anything, I had a lot of work this week but now I'm good.

And my apologies if somebody has a tough time trying to understand what I'm trying to say. English is my second languaje and I haven't been using it for a while hahaha

Let's succeed in Bundesliga!

Now I'm playing

I don't usually buy players on January, but is there a position that you feel we should reinforce?

Sure, just pass it to me!

Can I join?

However at the end of the second season, if you're fast enough, you can get it for free

Tema looks great! Looking foward to play again!

No problem pal, thank you! Great story though, keep it up!

Can I join? Do you need somebody else?

Me too

I'm sorry man, but it isn't quite working for me...
