#291348 Ok, we do Journeyman
Dyrim
My pre-season was build around the (semi)final of the Copa Libertadores. With last years experiance in mind we went about most carefull and had a fully fit squad at the kick-off. It payed off as we hammered Boca Juniors away from home with a vintage 2nd halve preformance. At home we didn't spent much energy and where helped by an own goal. Thus securing our passage to the finals. We took a two goal advantage in our home leg against Corinthians setting us up nicely to win the Copa Libertadores for the second year running. We managed to hold on to our lead away from home dispite getting a red card.
But probalby the most important part of the pre-season is the selling of the first of the youngsters. Lautaro Chávez wanted to get out, and since I had good cover I decided to sell him. Sporting Lisbon bought him for 19.75 Mil. Altho it sad to see him leave he brought in good money.
And with winning the Copa Libertadores I moved to the number one spot in the hall of fame. Making me the best manager in the world!
As we also got a good offer for Pablo (2 Mil) I parted with him again as we have enough talent for the midfield positions. Again three players moved to the first team from my youth set-up: Oscar Roldán as extra centre back. Last year I only player with 1 back-up he will be the second back-up. Roberto Elizondo will be the replacement for Pablo. And finaly the Chávez replacement will be Emiliano Molinari. This will make the season squad look like this:

What to tell about this season, after winning the Copa Sudamericana; Club World Championship and the season first halve title. We added the Copa Argentina and season final halve title aswell. And we qualified for the Copa Libertadores semi-finals aswell. So basicly we won all competition we entered. To top it off the second of my youngster turned international with Lautaro Chávez getting his first cap.

We still moving along strongly. We got the important win over Boca Juniors in the league. To bad we slipped up against Belgrano, we had pleanty chances but just didn't score. In the Copa Argentina we proceded easily against Godoy Cruz, and in the Copa Libertadores we didn't play our best. Drawing againgst Santos and losing against São Paulo. But the big win against Barcelona put us back on top of the group.
The first job came my way, Athletic Bilbao. With a decent wage budget and a good transfer budget and an amazing salary. But when working at Athletic you can only buy local players so that makes the oppertunities slim to get improvements outside there own youth set-up. And as I already build River Plate from there own youth set-up I didn't feel this was the oppertunity I was looking for so I turned it down and and hoping for something better.

Our perfect run came to an end against Independiente Rivadavia with an unlucky draw, but in general I still feel we are unbeatable at the moment. I can swap in and out players at will without the results suffering. We have a hefty couson at the top, and looks like we can win an other title. We are also on course for the next round in the Copa Libertadores, but the main thing I want is the Copa Argentina as it is still missing on my palmares.

I think I have cracked this country, we are steamrolling through the league at the moment winning all games I played this month. Also did I win both matches in the Copa Libertadores poule phase. And I never had the feeling we would lose a match this far. Only the São Paulo game was tight that could have ended in a draw. Sebastián Santos was instrumental this month, scoring 10 goals in 8 matches, and has taken the starting striker position from Lautaro Chávez.
So with basicly everthing won what there is to win in Argentina, I will be looking to move to an other club now definatly. But I will wait till a good club become available.

First some end of year spoils:
Then I sold Gaspar Iñiguez for 5Mil and replaced him with Schumacher on a free transfer.
The friendlies didn't bring any shocking results and we go into the second season halve with great confidence.

December was collection month. We scooped up all prices there where. First there was the league, we kept winning adn Boca Juniors started to drop some points.
Then there was the Copa Sudamericana. We nailed the first leg and the second leg we where also better.
And the club world championship. In the Semi finals we where drawn against Mexican squad Américana. We scored within 10 minutes from a trow-in. And it was automatic after that, claiming an easy 3-0 victory in the end. Next up Real Madrid. This match started of evenly with some chances on both sides from set pieces. But a second yellow card for André Ayew chanced the face of the game. We where on top after it and scored on the 50th minute. Real Madrid pegged back immidiatly but we kept pushing forward. In the 93th minute we got the reward we deserved Helcinho bringing glory to the club.

A near perfect month, getting all points in the league and Boca Juniors having a draw somewhere. 3 good wins in the Copa Sudamericana, only the last match it almost turned sour. Going into the match with a 3-0 advantage you feel nothing can go wrong. But with a 1-4 loss the away goals brought us through.

We started the month with an unfortunate defeat against Instituto. The match against Colón didn't prove any problem. The 2nd leg against Universidad de Chile begon with conceding a goal early, this looked to make the match a bit more thrilling. But Sebastián Santos made sure it was over soon. Scoring twice before the 20th minute and completing his hatrick the second halve. Next up was the all important match against Boca Juniors. We where a bit better the first halve but couldn't score, second halve we came out firing scoring twice in 10 minutes. The match seemed in the pocket but then we got a red card and Boca came back. But we held on and secured an important victory. The lose against Instituto now hurt extra because we still hold second place on goal difference.

My team played a very good month with some very pleasing results and good viewing. But we just keep losing ground to Boca Juniors. We had one draw against Lanús, who are also a very good squad, and we immidiatly drop two more points behinde. At this rate the loss early in the competition against Racing Club could prove to be vital.

Decent month passed by, including a cup I never heard off and didn't know i qualified for. We started the league with a cracking 4-0 win against Unión. Next was the home leg in the Recopa against Brazilian side Corinthians. We got in front but on the halve time whistle they equalized. Second halve we searched for the winner but it just wasn't to be. Same went for the next match we searched and searched but it wasn't there until the last 10 minutes when youth strike Patricio Farías scored twice to secure the win. Next match again we couldn't find the goal after falling behinde early. The injury of Lautaro Chávez might prove to be a real trouble already. Against San Lorenzo we again struggled to find the net in the first halve. But second halve things started to look up again and we ran away 3-0 winner. The return leg at Corinthians was a real thriller. Having to score we went out firing, but we forgot to aim. We they got ahead it didn't realy matter as we still needed to score anyway. And we did with 15 minutes to play. With time running out Corinthians attacker Carbonero got a foolish second yellow for diving. Making things a bit easier in the extra time. And we got the win at the 115th minute, we always seemed like to score in the added 30 minutes. So we bag an extra piece of silverware.
At the end of the transfer market I managed to sell Jules Goda, so I promoted Néstor Martínex from my youth set-up.
In the league Boca Juniors seem to be the team to beat again. They score 12 in 4 games without conceding and will probably be a hard nutt to crack.

GreekExpress: Yeah it was hard to get a fit team on the pitch. I have signed a new deal with River Plate, so I won't leave just now for any team. I won't leave this year unless I get approached by a major team. Maybe I will take up a national team on the side if a good position opens up.
The start of the pre-season was just in the light of the Copa Libertadores final. As my players wheren't fit I could use them (fully) at the early fixtures. So thats my excuse for the two heavy losses in Germany. On the up side we where very close at beating Swansea, letting in the equalizer on the 88th minute.
Sold off a couple of the foreign players to keep under the maximum amount of four (over 20) foreign players in the squad. And as the club losses money every year on repaying hefty loans I want to keep selling to balance the books, eventho I am not forced to it. But I also made a board promise to play youth players, so I sell off older players and bring in youngsters.
I tried to sell Jules Goda aswell but that didn't go, but will give it an other go at the transfer deadline. My new addidions are:
Pablo; I signed him before on my first club Krympteplysya, and he came on the market again on free transfer so I had to get him again.
Manuel Vicentini: Signed him on a free transfer to replace Jules Goda
Further did I promote a couple of youth players to the main squad: Fedrico Gomes; Luis Miguel Moyano; Helcinho.

GreekExpress: It was very pleasing to win the Final, especialy as Boca was the favorites considering there 2nd season halve run. The date on the final is just crap, players are just back from holliday and all transfers out will be done, so basicly you have a handicapped squad with-out firntess.
First leg of the final of the Copa Libertadores we have to travel to Porto Alegre. But due to the fixture is set just after we get back from hollidays, its hard to get the players fit enough to play. Further the players I wanted to sell are already gone while the replacements aren't elegible. So my hopes wheren't to high but we manage to win the away leg 0-0. I say win because I didn't see anything where we where on there halve.
So with e decent result in the bag, we are going to prepare for the home match. As you can see above there was not much fitness left so I gave all players involved a 3 days leave. And then we trained 2 days and gave them an other 2 days off.
The home match we got an early goal by Marcão, and since my team still has low fitness I decided to let my team fall back and play the counter. The counter didn't realy materialize but we kept our goal clean. And then when the match was over there was the counter we have been looking for all day, and Juan Cruz Ostúa didn't let the oppertunity slip.
The punits saw where our Copa Libertadores victory came from, our whole defence including the keeper, and our wingers where voted in the team of the year.
