#158733 [FM14]Johno's career
Johno
March 2014 – Athletic Bilbao
La Liga
We face Valencia and I was expecting a tough game but we won the game with ease.
We played another away game against Villarreal, we was so unlucky to lose
We welcome Getafe at home, We went ahead inside 1 minute thanks to Laporte's header inside the box. Rico blantly gave away the ball to their striker and converted it into the net to go 1-1. To my amusement, Rico some reason decided to give away another ball which their striker converted again to give them the lead. Told the team at half time to step up in gear and perform in 2nd half and thanks to Susaeta and Munian grabbing a goal apiece to give us 3 points. I let it rip at full time and blamed it solely on Rico the waste of space.
We went to Eche and not surprisingly we went behind after sloppy defending. Guillermo equalized 5 mins later after their goal. Went in half time saying we was unlucky not to be winning and team got in confidence mood and demolish 2nd half.
We welcome 13th place Atletico at San Mames, They came here for a draw, and constantly fouling my players to stop us playing the way we usually play. We was dreadful in front of the goal and had 6 CCC to our name.
The gap is 3 points, Would have like it to be more but we just got to keep winning and hope Real Madrid slips up.
Youth intakes
Disappointing intakes but will only be signing the top 2.

Yeah, but I do find it annoying when Guillermo doesn't take his chances to score for us. Might have to look for a goal scoring striker in the summer.
Yes, I think it's too early to say. Unless Real Madrid went on losing steak
Thanks

February 2014 – Athletic Bilbao
La Liga
We started the biggest game of our season against Real Madrid, We drew first blood on 16th minutes with Herrera's opening goal. Real Madrid couldn't stop him dictating the play. The ref gave them a penalty after our left back fouled Isco ffs. Which he converted to level the score. Susaeta scored a cracker strike outside of the box to give us the lead. We went in half time, 2-1 up. I noticed there was a huge gap between Real Madrid 2 DMC and AMR AMC AML so I instructed the team to exploit the middle and which seems to work as Susaeta bagged a brace on 73rd minutes to put the game to bed.
We traveled to face Celta Virgo, We dominated the game and won it easy in the end.
We welcome Espanyol at home, I decided to give Sebas his first start in the league due to Herrera's injury ( Was out for 3 days). But this was Iba Gomez's day with 2 fantastic free kick (first goal was 24 meters and 2nd from 25 meters) to give us 3 points.
We faced Real Betis and it was a tough game for us. Guillermo scored on 8th minutes to give us the lead. they pulled one back on 20th minutes and we could have went couple goals up but Guillermo was tad wasteful. After the break, we won a free kick on 52nd minutes and Iba stepped up and scores from free kick to give us another win
We play Granada, Surprisingly we went behind after they scored from a corner on 19th minutes. Iba pulled one back for us on 27th minutes with a strike inside the box. Susaeta put us ahead with lovely shot from the outside of the box. Sebas finally bagged his first goal for us as Herrera's out for 3 weeks which he picked up against Real Betis
Cope Del Rey
We faced Osasuna in the Semi Final. First leg, we absolutely battered them and yet we only won 2-1. We took the lead thanks to Rico's fantastic strike. They capitalized on our mistake to level the score on 79th minutes. Iba Gomez decided to score the winner for us, by beating 3 players to score inside the box with 4 minutes left to give us the advantage for second leg.
2nd leg - A game where we should have won, we had a goal ruled out. I decided to give Sebas his first start as Herrera was knackered. He performed well for us.
We will play Barcelona in the final after they beat Real Madrid 5-1 on agg.
Thanks to Getafe beating Real Madrid 1-0 before we played Real Betis to enable us to increase the gap to 4.

January 2014 – Athletic Bilbao
La Liga
We started in 2014 with away to our big rival, Real Sociedad. I was livid with the team. We went 2-0 up at half time and we let them back in the game
We welcome Almeria at home, We went 1-0 up on 7th minutes thanks to Balenziaga. Almeria drew level before half time to give them a chance. Thankfully we scored 3 goals in 11 minutes period to go 4-1 up before they grabbed a late goal on 86th minutes.
We also faced Valladolid at home, We took the lead via Herrera's goal on 17th minutes, disappointed we didn't double our lead in the first half. They pulled a goal back on 71 minutes for nervy finish to 2nd half. Muniaian was fouled on 78th minutes which Iturraspe converted to give us 3 points in the end.
Our last game of the month was against our rival, Osasuna. We went behind very early in the game as they converted Mikel's Jose mistake to give them the lead. We struggled to break them down til 2 quick goals from Laporte and Herrera to give us priceless 3 points.
Cope Del Rey
We took the lead thanks to Herrera but afterwards we was struggling to score goals and they was on top of us and lucky to come out with a draw.
2nd leg - I switched to control mentality, and rest was history.
We was drawn against Granada, We actually went 3-0 down which was appalling standard from the team. I told the team that I expect better things in 2nd half and our top 3 players grabbed a draw for us to give us a chance for our 2nd leg at home.
2nd leg - Another tough game against them, was a 0-0 at half time, soon after we went behind (again!) 4 minutes later Guillermo equalized for us and they kept battering us until Susaeta grabbed the winner on 84th minutes to send us through to Semi Final
We are still 2 points behind Real Madrid. Would be fool to rule Barcelona out of this.

Do you have a plan like how long a player can stay at the club for before they get sold?

December 2013 – Athletic Bilbao
La Liga
We face Sevilla away, I would have settled for a draw before the game, We took the lead thanks to Guillermo in 2nd minute, Susaeta was terrorising Sevilla's defence and doubled our lead on 22nd minutes. Guillermo bagged a brace on 49th minutes with a strike inside the box. Mikel Rico with a great strike outside the box to go 4-0 up.
We faced Rayo who are 19th in the table. Iker Muniain and Guillermo bagged a brace each which was pleasing.
Cope Del Rey
We was drawn against Hercules in 4th Round. First leg was fairly matched and we was the better side and just couldn't get the ball in the net. Second leg - We was far the better side and we could have went 1-0 up on 16th minutes after we got penalty awarded which their keeper saved Mikel José's penalty. It wasn't until 52 minutes when we had another penalty which Iraola stepped up and scored to give us the lead. 10 minutes later, Muniain doubled our lead with a cracking strike. Herrera killed the game off with a brilliant free kick on 79th minutes.
We drawn to Sevilla away in next round.
Amazing! We are now 2 points behind Real Madrid! They drew to Valencia before our match against Rayo.

November 2013 – Athletic Bilbao
La Liga
We started November with away trip to Atlético Madrid. I was nervous as I thought we'd struggle with Villa and Costa up front for them. Surprisingly We beat them quite comfortably with a brace from Iker Muniain. Atlético was quite poor throughout the game.
We welcome Levante at home, I was disappointed with our team performance, we was below par even Muniain scoring for us in 41th minutes.
We faced Málaga away, We took the lead thanks to Muniain's goal on 16th minutes. We should have doubled our lead after one of their defender made a mistake and let Guilermo in but keeper guessed it right and saved his shot. Roque Santa Cruz equalized for them with a minute left to half time. We could have prevented it but it wasn't to be. We also had another chance from lack of focus from their midfielder but one of our player blazed it over. A draw is fair result. We was 4 points clear of Barca, after this game, Barca won their match and reduced it to a point behind us.
The biggest match of the month! We focused on defensive movements in training and it seems to click for us at the right time. We had injuries to Herrera, Laporte and Iturraspe. Iraola was suspended after double booking against Málaga. Replaced them with De Marcos, Ekzia and Moran respectively. And Balenziaga took Iraola's place with Saborit taking left back position.
I was surprised to see we took the lead in 2 minutes, we had a corner and Ekzia beat Pique to head the ball into the net to go 1-0 up. We defended well despite Barca dominating and came close to scoring against us. Keeper and defence was in good form. 2nd half, Barca were dominating again and came close to score 1 or 2 goals. We counter attacked on 68th minutes which led to the penalty which Susaeta's cross hit Busquets's arm and San José converted to give us 2-0 lead over them. We killed the game off in 77th minutes thanks to Susaeta's strike inside the box to set 3 goals up to us. Unfortunately, Fabregas pulled one back on 80th minutes due to Balenziaga missed the ball. A massive 3 points for us in the end, 4 points clear of Barca!
Transfers
We have signed Sebas for 725K. He looks very promising and rated at 4 stars. I will probably send him out on loan to CD Numancia (feeder club)
