#390836 FC Porto - Road to the top
Rocco17
25 MAY 2017
My first season at FC Porto is finished. And I'm satisfied with it. We reached our most important goal and I'm really
excited about next season - especially because of the squad I will have (there are some transfers already arranged).
But that will have to wait, now is the time for 2016/17 season review.
:: PRIMEIRA LIGA ::
And here it is... The most important goal for this season which was reached. To bring the title back to Porto. We were
really consistent, almost remained unbeaten for whole season. Our one and only Liga defeat came against Benfica in matchday 32.
Top goalscorer also comes from our team - this is Aboubakar with 18 league goals. We also had the assist leader in
Gerard Deulofeu (10 assists) - btw we are still in negotiations for his permanent transfer.
:: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ::
I have already informed you about our unsuccessful domestic cups appearances in previous report, so we go on to the
Champions League. After great performances in the group stage we felt we had good chances against Napoli. And really
we were coming back from the San Paolo with very positive result - 2:2.
Leg 2.. We couldn't have wished a better start. 5th minute and Aboubakar put us in front. But unfortunately, we only managed
to hold the lead until 25th minute. The equalising goal totally killed us (who knows why), Napoli outclassed us and win deservedly.
:: PLAYER STATS ::
Stats from all competitions.
:: YOUTH INTAKE 2017 ::
That moment when I saw the players in this year's youth intake and noticed that boy I told to myself I must share it with you.
Is this the future legend? Look at that awesome potential. BUT. We have to be patient because a lot of players showed great
potential and then never made it. But I believe Fernando will be different. One thing is 100% sure. He'll definitely get a chance to shine from me.
:: SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW - Preview ::
The summer is already here and one of the most exciting things for all football fans is definitely a transfer window. All the
departures and arrivals will be revealed in the next update. The only thing I can say is our fans will be more than happy with
our work. I can assure you that. We have already arranged 6 arrivals and also 3 departures. And we're still looking for 1 new player.

1 FEBRUARY 2017
Here it is. The new update of my FC Porto story. We're in the start of February and the things have been going very
good for us so far. Even though we disappointed in domestic cups, but were a lot better in more important competitions.
:: PRIMEIRA LIGA ::
We've been fantastic so far in the league, still undefeated after 18 games. We've also scored the most goals, conceded
the least and had the most clean sheets which say enough of how dominating we have been so far.
The biggest surprise of the season is definitely Portimonense, our feeder club, which promoted to the Primeira last season.
On the other side, Sporting are another surprise (negative). After winning first 6 games in a row, then managed to win only
3 times in 11 games.
We also have league's top goalscorer, Aboubakar has scored 12 goals and is one goal ahead of Jonas who joined City few days ago.
In third place is Alfredo from Portimonense with 9 goals.
:: DOMESTIC CUPS ::
We have other priorities this season so I didn't take any of both two Portuguese cups too seriously, giving chances
to youngsters and players who haven't been playing really much in the league. We've been knocked out from both quite quickly.
:: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ::
We got lucky with the group stage draw but we still took matches very seriously. Good performances and 5 wins took
us to the top of group F. In the first knockout round we'll play against Italian side Napoli. It's gonna be our first real European test.
:: JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW ::
OUT
Even though the first half of the season was successful for us, we were pretty busy in January. We sold Bueno and Soares,
who didn't play really much, got a lot of money from transfers of Danilo Pereira, who wanted to leave to the bigger club and
Jesus Corona. We also sold Walter, who returned from the loan in the start of January and wasn't in my plans.
IN
Argentine striker Lucas Alario was our first signing. The deal was arranged a month of two ago and he's already showing
his worth - scoring 6 goals in his first two Liga appearances.
Following Corona's departure we had to fill the gap and sign another winger. So we signed Gerard Deulofeu and Sidney Sam - hoping
we can make Deulofeu's transfer permanent at the end of the season (future fee: 4 million euros).
We also needed signings in the midfield after Danilo Pereira left us. And I believe we made very good business by signing
Yann M'Vila and Mario Lemina for combined 25 million euros.

Portuguese Primeira Liga which has been happening for few years now. I want the Dragons to be on the top of Portugal again. And then also Europe and World.
OUT
At the start I was already very happy with the squad so I decided not to make big changes. The squad was very huge so I had to sell players I didn't
need and loan out some youngsters who are in our long term plans.
IN
We also didn't need to spend a lot. For the first team I signed just centre-back Frederico Venancio who replaced Martins Indi after he was sold to BVB.
I also signed 3 yougsters from my country (Slovenia) who have bright future and will play for U19/B team this season. Gaston Pereiro is also planned as
a first team member of course but he was loaned back to PSV for this season immediately after he signed for us.
:: FRIENDLIES ::
We played six friendly matches and I can say I'm very satisfied with our performances. We also tried few different formations.
:: FORMATION ::
This is the formation we are going to use at the start. Hopefully it's gonna be successful. As I said we tried various options in the pre-season,
but this one seems to be the one who fits our players the most and I believe the one I can get the best out of my lads with.
The next update is coming at the end of January's transfer window.
