October 2013 – Athletic Bilbao


La Liga

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/wL2XT3GXuklhYV3ngVQoFHwYkCau267YIZR3RS7o.png

We faced Valencia at home, It was even matched between both side, Herrera broken the deadline on 41 minutes with a brilliant strike outside the box to give us the lead going into half time. We doubled our lead through Iker Muniain on 51 minutes with another fantastic strike. Until Laporte made a critical mistake by fouling Valencia's Pacer to give them a penalty on 78th minutes to set up nervy last couple minutes, thankfully we managed to hold on to 3 points.

Another home game against Villarreal, We double our lead to 2-0 up in 6 minutes thanks to Muniain and Guilermo. Muniain double his goal tally by netting another one on 20th minutes to my delight. 60 seconds later, Susaeta fired our 4th goal in to go 4-0. Massively disappointing with our defending, their first goal was long range shot and 2nd goal was from corner, we conceded both goals in 3 minutes period on 40th minutes. 2nd half was totally borefest.

We traveled to face Marcelo Bielsa's Getafe who are currently bottom in the league. I fancied our chances of beating them which the team agreed with me. There was nothing to report apart from free kicks and fouling til 26th minutes, Susaeta's shot hit the post and hit the keeper and went in We went in 1 goal to us. Herrera scored a beauty to double our lead to 2-0. Again, our focus seems to have went as we conceded late goal on 87th minutes. Was disappointed as they went down to 9 man on 71st and 76th minutes, which I hoped to see our team taking advantage of it which seems we never did.

We welcome our 3rd home game against Elche, I decided to give debut to Alejandro Larrayoz as he's been performing well for U's 19 with 11 goals in 14 games. Also rested Muniain and played Iba Gomez as his place. We started the game poor, we could have went behind but our goalkeeper kept us in the game. Susaeta strike to give us a winning start, Herrera double it with a strike outside the box to go 2-0 up. 3 minutes late Larrayoz scores on his debut to give us 3-0 lead. 2nd half, we couldn't break them down as they went really defensive on us to stop us scoring. Del Moral's long range shot gave them a life of clawing back for them, Again San Jose made a mistake on 88th minutes to give them a goal to makes it 3-2 to us.

I would do anything to get a clean sheet

Thanks to Osasuna's 2-1 win over Barcelona to enable us to go above them to 2nd place. Celta just drew 0-0 with Barcelona which we're opening 3 points gap over them.

We managed to tie down Iker Muniain to new 4 years contract to 2017. Man City was sniffing around him, so I took the chance to sign him to new contract with 53M minimum release clause.

We also sold Óscar de Marcos to Rubin Kazan for 4.7M, will be leaving in January.

September 2013 – Athletic Bilbao


La Liga

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/P7yzzCdwNVxNbRImJNyligg7XZUTQkuO5wNSqjGJ.png

We started September month with a bang, 5-1 win over Celta. Could have scored more as we had 7 CCC.

We faced RCD Espanyol at their place. David Lopez got straight red card in 19th minutes as they went down to 10 men afterwards, since then, we dominated the game.

We face Betis at home, I put Iker on bench and played Gomez in his place. Got MOTM and 2 goals. Could have scored a hat trick if his shot didn't hit the post! We loss concentration in last minute which they scored.

Really not happy with our loss to Granada, Laporte made a mistake which led them scoring first. Their second goal was pure luck, We dominated and dominated in second half and couldn't get past Roberto which he got MOTM at the end.

No doubt if we beat Granada, we would be on Barcelona's arse.

August 2013 – Athletic Bilbao


La Liga
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/V5IiKxOBmlxEIE8bkSCsuktEmEPCqbJFpxeHB9Sr.png

We started the season with away to Valladolid, We took the lead thanks to Guillermo in 10th minutes. He could have doubled it but missed the target. Susaeta was giving them hard time and eventually doubled our lead to 2-0 in added minutes of 45th minutes. Disappointed we didn't go for another goal in second half despite we had chances to score.

We welcome our rival Osasuna at our place, Susaeta grabbed his second goal in 2 games by fantastic strike in 19th minutes. Guillermo could have also grabbed his second goal but Arribas diverted Muniain's cross into his own net. Again we still couldn't score in 2nd half.

I wasn't expecting miracle against Real Madrid. I decided to go for 4-1-2-2-1 and instructed players to close down Ronaldo always and straight away it wasn't working as he scored 2 goals to give them 2 goals lead at half time. I changed formation to 4-2-3-1 and it seems to work as we had chances to 2 goals which would have gave us hope to snatch something in the end, our keeper parried Di Maria's shot into Benzema's path to put the game to bed

Franck - I must admit, I have bid for a few non-basque 16 year olds and they simply haven't come to me! All of my youth signings so far have been Basque and so at the minute I'm sticking to that rule. However, I don't necessarily class that as cheating as I believe Bilbao can do that in real life


I believe they also do it as well irl. I don't think it's cheating at all tbh.

Glad to see this start up mate, sad to see Aduriz go so soon

All the best!


Thanks I decided to get rid of him to cut down the wages budget. And he's at 32 so I decided to sell him and play youngsters.

Good luck Johno!


Cheers Dan!

After being inspired by KEZ_7's thread, I decided to join him in managing Bilbao.

Pre season 2013 – Athletic Bilbao

Pre season
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/gpUzIAnFKsplu2RPtig7yQmgILSDqop27eOYrYjB.png
Pretty happy how our pre season went. Was annoyed that we didn't beat Sporting CP which their first goal was offside and officials missed it.

Transfers
I haven't brought anyone in, as I felt we got good players in the U's19. Only one player left which was Aduriz who went to CSKA Moscow for 1.6M.

I will update monthly
