Career Cockers COMPLETES the China Invasion Challenge

[Cockers2505]

The China Invasion (Thanks To @Kun Aguero for this Challenge)

So this is a challenge in itself as I have never even tried any of these leagues except Spain, so I'm challenging myself with this one

Stage 1 : Conquering Asia

The conquering journey of the Mongolian Empire started in China, but since China Super League wasn't playable in the game, we will have to start our journey in South Korea.

Aim :

1. Start with a South Korean team.

2. Sign a Chinese player 

3. Win the AFC Champions League with your player playing an active role.

4. Have your player scoring 30 goals.

How many players at this stage can I choose from, 5 players, and none have the best statistics, what have I started here!!!!

Spoiler

 

So I bought 3 of them to see how they would fit into my team and see which one excels to make me believe this is even a starter...

Nan Song - Advanced Playmaker

Runze Hao - Limited Defender

Xu Xu - Attacking Midfielder

So which one of these could score me the goals I needed to complete Stage 1

The Team of Choice for Stage 1

SEOUL

Spoiler

Season 1 Stage 1 Starts...

Update very soon as I've already nearly completed Season 1...

[Titjes]

Great to see someone taking on this challenge  Good luck with it  

 

ps: change the tag of the post to career  

[Cockers2505]

Thanks @Titjes thought it looked interesting than the norm

Changed the tag thanks, my mistake 

[Cockers2505]

My First Update...

Season 1 completed...

Took the League Title on my first attempt, which is a bonus and 1 part down...

This followed by the Asian Champions League Final...

Final Standing, excellent first season...

Spoiler

The Chinese Players, how did they do...

Nan Song was the only player that excelled and fitted into my team, the others didn't improve and simply was a waste of money...

Played him throughout the season, and even though his stats haven't improve to much, he did get 11 goals, leaving him requiring 19 for mt to move on, hopefully this will happen in Season 2...

Other Players...

Spoiler

 

So I gained a few awards within my First Season...

Spoiler

So that's the end of Season 1 Stage 1 of this Challenge, so far so good, Season 2 Update to follow...

[Ashez]

Looks a very strong start mate!

[Kun Aguero]

Never expect someone to be so out of his mind to attempt this. Amazing start and good luck, you will certainly need it in the upcoming stages.

[Cockers2505]

Thanks @Ashez 

Well @Kun Aguero it just sprang out and said someone needs to attempt it, its one of them that makes you think a little more, enjoying it to be truthful

[Cockers2505]

So Stage 1 continues...

Second Season went well as the first, I took the league by storm...

Quite a comfortable win this season now I had built the team I needed...

My winning streak continues...

End of season League table was pretty impressive...

Spoiler

Took some more awards at the end of the season...

Spoiler

So Season 2 is finished, time to move on, applied fo the next job, next to follow...

So Nan song, needed 30 goals for me to finish this Stage...

During my 3rd season in charge he completed what I required...

Stage 1...

Aim :

1. Start with a South Korean team  - Completed

2. Sign a Chinese player - Completed

3. Win the AFC Champions League with your player playing an active role - Completed

4. Have your player scoring 30 goals - Completed

STAGE 1 Completed...

 

Stage 2 Season 1 to begin...

Stage 2 : Conquering Poland

Genghis Khan's army then went on conquering Russia and followed by Central Europe, and you will start your journey in Europe with Poland.

Aim :

1. Join a Poland team.

2. Sign the Chinese player.

3. Win the Poland league.

4. Have your player scoring 30 goals.

So Gornik was the only available club for me to move on, they are currently in the First Division, can I get them promoted and then bring in my Chinese Player...

First game in charge, a 3-3 draw with Bytovia, I need to build this team ready to take on the big clubs if I do get them up...

Sat in Second position currently, can I keep them there...

to be continued...

Edited January 21, 2018 by Cockers2505

Aim :

1. Join a Poland team. - Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player. - Complete

3. Win the Poland league.

4. Have your player scoring 30 goals.

So my player joins me from Seoul to Gornik to help me conquer this Stage...

His Stats are getting there, he isn't a natural Striker but playing him up front has not gone to bad, training him to be a striker has all but failed...

The season goes well for me...

First trophy for the club...

Followed by...

Took the League Title in my first ever season in the Ekstraklasa...

Final Standings...

Spoiler

So my time at Gornik went well (forgot to take photo of Nan Song achievements) Nan Song scoring the required 30 Goals...

Spent another Season at Gornik then...

Aim :

1. Join a Poland team. - Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player. - Complete

3. Win the Poland league. - Complete

4. Have your player scoring 30 goals. - Completed

Stage 2 complete...

Took a big gamble joining Antalyaspor in the Turkish League...

Spoiler

My First game in charge made me think I could turn this around, but I didn't have my man yet, and I couldn't afford him...

League Table has it stands...

Stage 3 : Conquering Turkey

The Mongolian army continued their invasion through the conquering of Turkey, and that's where you are going next.

Aim : 

1. Join a Turkey team. Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player.

3. Win the Turkey League.

4. Win the Europa League to complete your first stage of Europe Invasion.

5. Have your player scoring 50 goals.

Played out the rest of the season, finishing in the top 10, even bagging myself the Manager of The Year Award...

So my first full season begins now...

Got my man ready for the challenge...

His stats are beginning to improve as I move from club to club, taking him with me every time...

This shows his stats for me, including the goal for Gornik which I forgot to photo...

Aim : 

1. Join a Turkey team. Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player. Complete

3. Win the Turkey League.

4. Win the Europa League to complete your first stage of Europe Invasion.

2. Sign the Chinese player. Complete

3. Win the Turkey League. Complete

4. Win the Europa League to complete your first stage of Europe Invasion.

5. Have your player scoring 50 goals. Complete

So I have the Europa League to Conquer for this Stage, but I'm in the Champions League Draw, can I win that?

The Draw is a miserable one for me...

Couldn't ask for a more terrible group, but you never know...

If Only...

Spoiler

My Second full season doesn't give me any joy in the Champions League...

So into the European Cup I go...

to be continued...

 

[Kun Aguero]

This challenge was supposed to be tough, but you are smashing it with Nan Song being surprisingly good, good luck in your Europa League journey.

[Cockers2505]

Thanks @Kun Aguero

I'm surprised there isn't many others attempting some of the other challenges, I find if someone has spent time and effort to come up with them, then we might as well gives them a go, you never know how it will go, plus I find the games more interesting with a little harder challenge 

Surprised also not many others have commented about this one??

[BatiGoal]

Finally caught up with this, very entertaining so far.

Agree. There's so many fantastic challenges that have yet to be attempted by anyone. So kudos for giving this one a go. The one thing that this one's got in common and the one I'm doing atm is that we're signing Chinese strikers ? 

Also, these are all leagues that are rarely played on here, me included from the occasional H2H or Community challenge, so it's a refreshing change 

[Cockers2505]

Thanks @BatiGoal 

Nan Song had been brilliant for me so far, not many Chinese to choose from at the beginning but he seems to have gone from strength to strength

[Cockers2505]

Update...

I've had a couple of days off, so getting on with this now...

Just an update where I am...

Aim : 

1. Join a Turkey team. Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player. Complete

3. Win the Turkey League. Complete

4. Win the Europa League to complete your first stage of Europe Invasion.

5. Have your player scoring 50 goals. Complete

So another season passes...

I win the League with ease, surprising how my team played well in all positions...

Surprising win...

So I thought, then this happened...

Not only did I beat City, but clinched the Euro Cup, which to my reckoning thats this Stage done and dusted...

Aim : 

1. Join a Turkey team. Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player. Complete

3. Win the Turkey League. Complete

4. Win the Europa League to complete your first stage of Europe Invasion. - Complete

5. Have your player scoring 50 goals. Complete

Nan Song...

He's been a legend at every club so far...

Another season he simply excels at, he alternates between an Attacking Midfielder and a Shadow Striker, but I play him as my main striker, and he hasn't let me down yet...

A couple more awards to add...

Spoiler

#added to them is another Turkish Super Cup...

So Stage 3 Completed, just need to get one of the Spanish Teams to offer me a job so I can attempt Stage 4, with my Chinese player tagging along...

to be continued...

[1899]

Well done and interesting challenge playing in some of the leagues you seldom see - with a striker I'm sure most of us are completely unaware of as well. A shame that Xu Xu (Choo-Choo, all aboard the hype train) guy didn't develop though. 

[Cockers2505]

Thanks @1899 it's been quiet an interesting challenge doing these leagues, maybe these could be used for the 1000 Goal challenge once you get an awesome team you can win anything

[Cockers2505]

Update...

My wait for Stage 4 to start continues, I have still work to complete here at Antalyaspor to make my Profile even better for the perfect Spanish job (I Hope)...

Season begins well...

What a start, Barcelona had such a strong team out, but I stuck to my guns and my Attacking Midfielder, acting Striker got himself his first of the season hatrick, and what a time to do it...

My season continued well, I was taking the League by storm, and even doing really well in the Champions league...

But then... I simply couldn't resist, my chance began here...

I had to take it...

Stage 4 : Conquering Europe

The defence of Spain managed to hold off the Mongolians, but that's not going to be how your journey end. In the final stage of this challenge, you will arrive in Spain and complete the conquering of Europe.

Aim : 

1. Join a Spanish team. - Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player.

3. Win the league.

4. Win the Champions League to complete your conquering of Europe.

5. Have you player scoring 100 goals.

The team was to doing to well when I took them over, I knew I couldn't get my Chinese Player just yet, so I left him behind to build on the rest of the season before attempting at the end after doing a bit of dealing in the Transfer Market...

Nan Song history so far...

A shame I had to leave him behind, his record for an Attacking Midfield is amazing...

My first 3 games improved already with the Tactics I brought to the Club...

A draw and 2 home wins, can I finish the season strong going off these results...

End of my first Season in charge of Sevilla...

Got myself in the Championship League, I only lost an handful of games throughout the rest of the season...

Then I amazed myself...

I clinched the Euro Cup again, this time beating Chelsea in a hard fought game at Hampden Park...

Spoiler

Other Awards earns this season...

So my Season ends on a high, Stage 4 is now in play, to help with this...

I only get my man on a free, what a bonus...

Aim : 

1. Join a Spanish team. Complete

2. Sign the Chinese player. Complete

3. Win the league.

4. Win the Champions League to complete your conquering of Europe.

5. Have you player scoring 100 goals.

Nan Song

Not bad, considering he isn't a striker he can certainly get me the Goals I need...

My Record so far for the History books...

Thanks for reading, please comment if you want and your support as always is always appreciated...

to be continued...

[BatiGoal]

Great club to be landing on your final mission. Song on a free and he's looking just fine and right in his prime. Things couldn't have gone any better for you in stage 4. Bring it home now!

[Cockers2505]

Thanks @BatiGoal I was quiet amazed they let him go, to be their top scorer as well as consistent player, I don't understand the way the game works sometimes?

Update...

Season 2 and my first full season in charge of Sevilla...

Nan Song continued to break records for me, this Stage should be done in 2 Season, then get my name on the Leaderboard as the fist and probably the only Mad man to do it...

Every club I've been at, he simply amazes me how an Attacking Midfielder can score so much each week...

Champions League was going well so far...

Didn't loose a single game in the Group stage...

Another award to add to my portfolio...

Then the Spanish Cup came along for me to Challenge, my best result leading up to the final...

Couldn't ask for a better result, considering we are not the strongest team yet in the League, to beat Barca is such an achievement...

Then cam the Final...

Even a Harry Kane Hatrick couldn't prevent me from pinching the cup from the mighty Real Madrid, first full season going well so far...

Then my Season went from good to Brilliant...

I took the League by storm, had such a response from my players, I simply couldn't prevent the unpreventable, the Title was Mine...

So the story is one of Brilliance by my Team Sevilla, First full season, Took the Spanish Cup, then pinched the League Title from under the nose of both real Madrid and Barcelona, there's a new kid on the Block, watch this space...

Could I really get a full house, will my bubble burst right at the last hurdle...

Just a dip into a result from the Friendlies, I played A.C. Milan in a friendly at the beginning of the season...

Could I get a result like this again...

Not the fairy tail ending I was hoping, yes I did win the Champions league, and what an amazing result, but a shame it was through Penalties...

So Season 1 (full season) ended with everything I wanted to achieve being a reality...

Spanish League Title

Spanish Cup Winners

Championship Cup Winners

My Manager of the Month awards tells me a story...

My Chinese player goes from strength to strength...

His stats look impressive, for a player who will never be recognised as a legend, for me he is...

So 100 goals required, 55 down, another season like this and I should be celebrating my name on another Leaderboard...

A Little Quiz, I know some people like to guess Regens, but I simply don't know who this is, I know I got him for peanuts...

£8.25 Million for a player who is now worth £120 Million and rising, bargain...

More Awards...

Spoiler

Remember Song was FREE!!!!!!

Aim :

[Titjes]

What a great season  A chinese legend  

That regen seems Arturo Vidal (from bayern munchen) to me  

[BatiGoal]

Quality season bringing all trophies home. The end is just around the corner. Enjoy every game till Song records his 100th cause it's just a matter of time now. 

[Taff]

Just caught up @Cockers2505 and what a challenge and you are smashing it mate KIU

[1899]

Great job! Another vote for Vidal's regen. Had him myself (in Sevilla, as a coincidence) but as Ryder Gutierrez. Smashing player.

[Cockers2505]

Thanks @Titjes I must admit I wouldn't of guessed Vidal

Cheers @BatiGoal I am amazed of how well he has done considering he's not a striker

Thanks @Taff I hoping another season gets me on another Leaderboard

Update...

My First Full season over, I get the Manager of the Year which is a bonus...

Final Table Standings...

What a fantastic season, solid in defence, scored plenty of goals and basically took the league by storm, roll on Season 2 of Stage 4...

The season starts well, really well...

First the Euro Super Cup...

Through the season clinching the Club World Championship...

Another shrewd buy, Adrian Webster for free, went on loan, played just 1 game, sold for £32.5 Million...

Spoiler

Spoiler

Beating Barcelona at their place 0 - 7

So the challenge, Nan Song was on 55 goals end of Season 1, now...

A little to late, but I was awarded with a big Cash Bonus...

So Nan Song, how did he finish, what did he look like, and how was his final stats...

He wasn't a prolific player by no means, but he did so well for me, I will put him down as a true legend during this Challenge...

So his total goal tally for me was 108 Goals, which is 8 more than I needed...

Another Manager of the Year...
