PilgrimAsh Attempts The Going Out With A Bang! Lee Dong-Gook Challenge

 

So I thought I would give this challenge a go, as I’ve done a similar challenge with Peter Hinds in the past I thought this would be another fun career to do and one that was inspired by @danovic78

 

The challenge is to take over Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors and get Lee Dong-Gook to Bang in as many goals as possible. He currently has 178 career goals at the spritely age of 37, so with only a couple years left in the tank if he allows, how many more goals can I get him to score. 

As the current leader hit 103 I will have to set 104 as my target but I’d be happy to get anywhere close to that total.

So here’s the man himself

I look forward to sharing my career with you and hopefully it will be a fun journey. Please feel free to leave comments and share your thoughts below.

Good luck with the challenge ;) for a 37 year old his stats still look good, lets see if you can beat that 104 total :)

 

Thank you, yeah I know his stats aren’t that bad for his age and definitely much better than peter hinds 😂 hopefully I can get somewhere near it 🤞

Good luck. Nice looking challenge. I might attempt it down the line after my current challenge ends.

Thanks mate, will be good to see a few more attempt it and get that leaderboard filled out a little more.

Wow, good luck @PilgrimAsh I thought nobody was as crazy as me to attempt this, surprising I enjoyed it and thought more would follow, so how good is it to see you attempt it.

He is a robot honestly, if you can dodge injuries, he can more or less play every game for you, good luck

Thanks man, well I’m crazy enough to take it on, hopefully I can do it some justice and get a decent score. I enjoyed the Peter Hinds one so thought why not give this one ago. 

He is a robot your right, I’ve finished my first season and will be posting my results soon, so stay tuned! Hopefully a few more will follow suit and make an attempt at this challenge.

Myself and @Titjes played it in our h2h that was never posted unfortunately. Can’t remember the scores we got though 😂

All the best with this one @PilgrimAsh 👍🏻

That’s a shame, but at least 2 others have given it a go @Cockers2505 😉 see more crazy people 😜 

Thanks mate, will try and do my best.

Season one is complete!

Our first season at Jeonbuk seen us win the KEB Hanabank K League Classic Tittle by 4pts

And the FA Cup and Confederation Cup!

The league was fairly easy going, a number of draws that I hope to improve on next year, but we don’t have much money to invest in players, so I will be hitting the free transfer market to hopefully work some magic.

Our team as a whole performed pretty well especially the attacking side of the team and we managed to get 5 into the team of the year, including the man himself Lee Dong-Gook.

He also picked up FAN’tastic Player if the Year!

Just check out his stats at the end of the year, he’s even gained some more stamina 😳 @Cockers2505 you were not joking when you said he was a robot lol 😂 I think I’ll nickname him ‘The Machine’.

How did ‘The Machine’ do this season, well he managed to play a whopping 52 games and scored an impressive 45 goals and 12 assists, and 11 PoM’s, not bad for his age.

Total 45/104

Thank you for taking the time to read my career with ‘The Machine’ I will try and do a few updates throughout the next season to keep you up to date with how ‘The Machine’ is getting on. Hopefully another smooth injury free season but I think that will be a big ask, we will see.

Season 2 Update

So we’re a little way into the second season now and here’s how ‘The Machine’ is getting on.

He’s absolutely banging them in once again, just unstoppable and even clinching us a valuable point in the last minute of injury time in a game we dominated but were unlucky to concede to an early own goal and going down to 10 men in the second half. We should oh had this one in the bag but it wasn’t to be, but a valuable point and more importantly a goal for Lee.

A nice healthy start to the league and hopefully I can keep this man fir and firing in those goals.

Season 2 Update 

In this update we are currently 30 games into the season and Lee Dong-Gook has managed to play in every game so far and as you can see has banged in an impressive 33 goals in all competitions.FFC8D340-CD55-469E-9C0B-29743E1D81CE.thumb.png.f7d8a6d7d5030ba6e490b01514e79f03.png

We are sitting comfortably at the top of the KEB Hanabank K League Classic with a 10 point cushion and a very healthy goal difference. We have only lost 1 game so far and really dominating the league, with the help of our veteran super striker.

Can we keep ‘The Machine’ well oiled and injury free to beat last years tally. 

Spoiler

It appears not, Lee picked up a knock during this game, hopefully nothing too serious and will be back to playing again soon.

Season 2 

So with season 2 now complete it’s time to let you know how we got on. Did ‘The Machine’ aka Lee Dong-Gook recover from his injury?

Well he did and was only out for for a game and came back and picked up where he left off. (He’s a Machine!) 

So how did we do with silverware this season.

We won the league pretty early on.

Again we have 5 in the team of the year, and one in defence which is great.

The Machine netted an astonishing 54 goals throughout this seasons campaign 😳 I was not expecting that, although he did manage to have more games this season compared to last.

As you can see Lee is had a slight drop in his stats especially those physicals so I’m hoping it won’t have to much impact on him next season but only time will tell. 

That was not a bad season at all, bringing Lee’s total to 99 club goals. A super season but still we could have done better by winning the champions league and drawing/loosing less games, a little strengthening og the ageing squad next year and we will see what we can do to improve on season 2.

99/104

Season 3 

So after 2 good seasons with Lee ‘The Machine’ scoring an almighty 99 goals it was onwards and hopefully upwards for our veteran striker, can we keep this old dog fit and firing in those all important goals during season 3. 

Wait what’s this?

Another few offers from abroad but my devotion to this challenge is too great and I decline them all.

Not to badly but a noticeable decrease on some of his stats. More noticeable on his stamina, and as you can see this did have an impact on how many games he played, and his noticeable drop in the number of goals he scored this season. 29 in 45 games for a 40year old though, you can’t really complain about that. B9191214-0B77-493D-B4CB-11EDA87D1957.thumb.png.66fe28c138e3669844be83e252cb1b2c.png

I think next season will be tough if it continues like this season has and with him not into his 40 will Lee decide to call it a day?

128/104!! We set out a target and we smashed it sorry @Cockers2505 you set a good target to chase and inspired a great challenge for me to undertake, now let’s see how much further we can raise that bar.

Congrats for taking the top spot in leaderboard. There was less return in goals but it was to be expected with a 40 yr old. Nonetheless, a great career you have going here. Can you get another season out of him, that will be the icing on the cake.

Thank you 😊 I can see @Cockers2505 has inspired a few of us to give this a go and from what I’ve seen from your start is that my top spot might be very short lived! You have made a cracking start, really looking forward to seeing how you get on and hopefully we’ll get a few more joining us. It’s a good career especially as I’ve never managed an Asian club so I’m learning all the time and it’s keeping me on my toes.
