Career SEASON 6 - Lyon's Burkina Babes (A Triple Threat Career)

[DonkeyDele]

The year is 2018, and Dele is fed up with his life at Spurs and their lack of new signings. He decides, in an unexpected turn of events, to move to France and build his own legacy.

 

OLYMPIQUE LYON APPOINTS DONKEY DELE AS MANAGER

 

The footballing world is shocked. Dele is happy. Sylvinho is now jobless, and crying alone at home.

But that's not important. What's important is what Dele plans to do with Lyon, his targets for the upcoming season, and the future.

 

EXCLUSIVE PRESS CONFERENCE WITH NEW LYON BOSS DONKEY DELE

Brought to you by superstar journalist Mr Ree Porter

 

Ree Porter: So, Mr Donkey Dele, you are now the new manager of Lyon. What direction do you see yourself taking this club? Is there any specific philosophy you are looking to implement?

Dele: Well, first of all, thank you for having me here. As the new manager of Lyon, I will obviously be looking to play attacking football with a lethal and dangerous front three, similar to Barcelona's MSN, Real's BBC, Liverpool's front three and even PSG's current attacking trio. Of course, we'll be planning to win as many trophies as possible, and hold on to our existing stars, preventing them from going to Real Madrid, like my old teammate Eriksen's always talking about. But yeah that's pretty much it.

Ree Porter: That's very interesting. Is there anyone you have in mind for this "dangerous front three" you speak of?

Dele: I've been looking at the squad and Bertrand Traore has been the standout performer so far. I'm not saying I'm biased or anything, but those Burkinabe feet of his sure do have some magic in them. Obviously I'll be building my team around him. Maybe I'll be looking to bring in his brother Lassina from Ajax or something. We'll see.

Ree Porter: Wow, it would be amazing if we could see a reunion of the Traore brothers at Lyon. Although there are too many Traores in the world and they may all be brothers for all I know. One more thing, Dele, you aren't even 24 yet, and you were still a Spurs player up until like three days ago, so are there any fears that you'll be too inexperienced for the job?

Dele: I don't think that would be a problem, as I've accumulated hours and hours of football management experience from playing Football Manager for the past few years. While the quality of the games may have declined in recent times, the quality of my management skills has obviously increased immensely. With this, I'm pretty confident I'll do well at Lyon.

Ree Porter: Thank you for your time, Mr Dele, and all the best at Lyon.

 

DELE MAKES BERTRAND TRAORE HIS NUMBER 1 ATTACKER

Dele: As you all already know, Bertrand is one of the most clinical strikers in world football. He can play anywhere across the front three, but most likely will be playing on the right of my three strikers to allow him to cut inside onto his left foot and shoot. He's not only fast, but can dribble and shoot well. He may be relatively older than the other two attackers at 22 years of age, but I'm pretty sure that will still give him enough time to score many, many goals for me.

 

DELE SIGNS LASSINA TRAORE FROM AJAX FOR $9M

Dele: I'm so excited to work with Lassina as he's looking very promising at only 17 years of age. Despite being 5 years younger than his brother, they are already looking very good in training, and seem to have that Burkinabe chemistry I was telling you all about. He's great in the air and on the ground too. However, he literally cannot kick with his left foot so we'll have to work on that.

 

DELE SIGNS HASSANE BANDE FROM AJAX (AGAIN) FOR $31M

Dele: Okay to be honest, I wasn't even thinking of this guy anyway but I saw him while I was supposed to be watching Lassina, and he caught my eye with his dribbling ability and insane pace. Although he may only be as strong as a twig, his speed with the ball and shooting accuracy at only 19 years of age makes me very excited for the future. He may have been a tad bit overpriced at $31m but that was because Ajax were being a bi- oh no swearing? I mean very stubborn in the negotiations, but we'll see who's laughing when he develops into a top class player for us.

 

How will Dele and his Burkina Babes get on in Lyon?

Ree Porter and the rest of the footballing world are still surprised at this appointment. How do you think Dele should play these three Burkinabe boys? Should he even play them? Will they even live up to their potential? Was Dele smart or stupid to base his transfers purely around the fact that they are from Burkina Faso? And what will happen to Memphis Depay?

Leave your comments down below!

[Yung.Gabe]

Very interested to see how this goes

[smoggy90]

Great intro and good luck!

[DonkeyDele]

The 2018/19 Season

And so Donkey Dele kicks off his managerial career with the Burkina Babes.

The season begins well, the Burkinabe trio are firing on all (ok not all but most) cylinders, and things are looking great for Lyon.

Then Traore, Traore, and Bande decide to get injured. Not once, not twice, but three to four separate injuries for each of them. And occasionally even at the same time.

But it is no matter, as Lyon are on course to complete a domestic treble.

Trophies

Coupe De La Ligue

Lyon face off against Marseille in the League Cup Final.

In the 47th minute, Big Bert picks up the ball on the right hand side of goal. He plays a one-two with Lassina, then rifles a shot into the top corner. 1-0 to Lyon.

In the 83rd minute, Cornet who has just come on for the (again) injured Bande, goes on a mazy run through the defence and shoots. 2-0 to Lyon. Donkey Dele rejoices.

And so do the rest of the Lyon team, as they win their first ever trophy under Donkey Dele.

 

Coupe De France

It's Lyon against PSG. This time, it's Little Lassina who takes all the plaudits, scoring a "nine-minute double salvo" (as the game loves to call it) to seal a cup double for Lyon.

Once again, everyone's happy at Lyon.

 

Ligue 1

Once again, Lyon completely dominate, winning the league with 5 games to spare. The big-spending PSG finish fourth in a surprisingly lousy season for them.

Lyon even go unbeaten, finishing with the greatest goal difference, highest goals scored and a measly 11 goals conceded. While this is an amazing result, Donkey Dele is not satisfied. He wants goals and goals from the Burkina Babes, not clean sheets and defensive records from his defenders. Although he's pretty happy with that so he'll take it for the first season.

 

European competition

An absolutely nonsense European campaign for Lyon who finish 3rd in their UCL group, and who also then go on to lose 2-0 to Man United in the first knockout Round. The campaign was so forgettable that there are no screenshots worthy of being posted.

 

The Burkina Babes

Big Bert

Decent first season from the main man, who brings home a respectable 23 goals, albeit taking 42 appearances to reach this target. Donkey Dele is a little disappointed, given that he is the most senior of the trio and is expected to carry most of the goalscoring burden for them.

He also wins Foreign Player of the Year, Star of the Season, and finishes runner-up to Cavani in the goalscoring list.

Donkey then gets into an end-of-season argument with Big Bert, who thinks he has gotten too big for the team and deserves to move to a bigger club. Of course, he's not going anywhere.

Liverpool offer about $60m, but Donkey tells them they'd have to pay for 2 Coutinhos and his house before they can even get a hair on Bertrand's head.

 

Lassina Traore

The smaller Traore surprisingly has a better season than his brother. He plunders in the same number of goals in fewer games. Donkey is a proud father. 

He also gets into the Team of the Season and all that but that's not really important. At least he's not haggling for a move away, setting a good example for his older brother. Good boy Lassina.

 

Hassane Bande

Ah yes. The injury prone man begins a nonsense first half of the season by getting injured three times. He then gets injured again, twice, before finally being able to string about 6 games together and finally finding some semblance of form towards the end of the season. Having played most of his games at less than 95% condition and always being jaded and in need of a rest, Hassane "Glass Legs" Bande plunders in a paltry 17 goals in 39 games. Donkey is very, very disappointed with his most expensive signing.

 

Trophy Count:

Season 1 - 3

Total - 3

 

Goal Count:

Season 1 - 23+23+17 = 63

Total - 63/1500

Season Two: The 2019/20 Season

After Lyon's domestic treble and the exploits of the Burkina front three, Donkey goes into season two with high expectations.

As expected, he wins the Trophee des Champions on his first try, courtesy of goals from both Traore brothers. Unfortunately, "Glass Legs" Bande is nowhere to be seen. This will prove to be a common occurrence over the course of the season.

 

Important Transfers

In the summer window, Donkey loses key playmaker Houssem Aouar to Sevilla, who make a $92m bid for the youngster. However, with half the season going by and Fekir's relatively crap form, Donkey decides it was maybe not the best idea to sell him.

So he goes out and splashes about half of the Aouar money on another similar playmaker, giving him Aouar's old number 8.

In other news, Donkey also gets rid of Depay as he believes he's been stealing goals from the Burkina trio, while Big Bert wins the Foreign POTY.

 

Trophies

Coupe de la Ligue

Lyon somehow go behind in the 34th minute, but new signing Fernandes knocks one in to equalise.

Bande then wakes up from his goalscoring slumber to curl in a right-footed shot from outside the box to equalise in extra time, but then in true Donkey style, Lyon let Strasbourg equalise with 4 minutes left to take it to penalties.

Hassane Bande steps up, and fresh from his goal just now, proceeds to sky one into the stands. Donkey's head is in his hands. Thankfully, Fekir and Terrier do their jobs, and Strasbourg miss every single pen of theirs, giving Lyon the League Cup again.

 

Coupe de France

Cornet, who is playing instead of the injured (again) Bande, scores twice, in the first half, sandwiched by a Diafra Sakho goal to put Lyon 2-1 up at the break.

Big Bert gets a goal disallowed for offside through VAR and proceeds to argue with the ref, while his brother instead focuses on the task at hand, and scores a brace in the last few minutes of the game to thrash Rennes 4-1.

 

Ligue 1

Lyon win the league with a game to spare, holding off a strong-finishing PSG and a certain Kylian Mbappe.

Unfortunately the unbeaten season was foiled with a 2-1 loss to, of course, PSG in February, but once again Lyon finish with the highest goal difference by a mile, scoring more goals than the previous season. However, Donkey is still not satisfied.

 

European competition

Donkey's dissatisfaction is most present here, where Lyon once again crash out of the group stages, finishing a dismal fourth. Not even the Europa League can save them this time. Donkey fears becoming a Man City and PSG, dominating domestic competition while somehow being completely useless in Europe. Once again, there are no screenshots or pictures of this, as Donkey Dele has decided to clear all evidence of this embarrassing campaign.

 

 

The Burkina Babes

Big Bert

The man scores 30 goals in 41 games in what in a somewhat better season for Donkey’s main Burkina boy. Donkey is satisfied.

As usual, he wins a bunch of awards, prompting every club and their owner’s grandparents to come asking for his signature.

Donkey somehow manages to ignore these massive offers like a flat earther ignores science.

 

He also narrowly loses out to high-scoring Kylian Mbappe, scoring 22 to his 26.

 

Lassina Traore

Decent season for Lassina who knocks in more goals, albeit in more games, which could be seen as an improvement in his stamina and ability to handle more games over a season.

Half or maybe even more than half of those goals came from his head, with his massive 1.83m/6 foot frame and 20 Aerial ability drawing him to crosses and corners like a magnet. Also, he still does not know how to pass with his left foot.

 

Hassane Bande

The most expensive of the trio also seems to be the most useless, finishing with numbers that even attacking midfielders would be disappointed with. Bande tends to finish matches with high numbers of shots, yet little to none of them on target. Donkey doesn’t know if it’s his tactical set-up or just his inability to shoot on target that’s resulting in such low numbers.

 

Trophy Count:

Season 1 - 3

Season 2 - 4

Total - 7

 

Goal Count:

Season 1 - 23+23+17 = 63

Season 2 - 30+27+14 = 71

Total - 134/1500

Great write up mate. They're still young so no panic yet.

Thanks tree, by the looks of it they already are "unlikely to improve" but let's hope they get better

BREAKING NEWS: LYON TEAM AND COACHES SPOTTED DURING 2020/21 PRE-SEASON TRAINING

July 2020

Star reporter/football journalist Mr Ree Porter has caught a glimpse of Lyon and their manager Donkey during pre-season training at the Olympique Lyon Training Centre. Here's Mr Porter with the latest scoop.

 

Ree Porter: Well I'm here outside the Lyon Training Centre, and the players are currently gearing up for the next season. The view from here isn't very good, but we can see a few of the stars in practice.

 

(Just imagine them in Lyon shirts or something)

 

As you can see over there, that's Hassane Bande receiving instructions from his manager Donkey Dele. Bande's been criticized for his poor goal returns and overall performance last season, so it'll be interesting to see how manager Donkey takes him into the new season.

 

Rumour has it that Bande's been given a very "special" training program catered towards scoring goals. I'm excited to see if the rumours are true and what kind of impact this may have on the player. Will his performances improve? Cast your votes now my dear audience.

 

[broodje kip]

Good luck on that "Special" training👍

[DonkeyDele]

Season Three: 2020/21

During pre-season, Donkey discovers this thing called "Intensive Training" while playing his favourite game, Football Manager. He thinks it is a very effective training method, and so decides to implement it his real life training sessions, namely to improve the performance of the misfiring Hassane Bande. Also he may or may not have spiked Hassane's drink with certain performance-enhancing drugs, but that's not important. 

As expected Lyon win the Trophee Des Champions again. Bruno opens the scoring while Cornet does his best Origi impersonation, scoring the winner in another crucial game to give Lyon the trophy.

 

Important Transfers

Donkey brings in Argentinian midfielder Exequiel Palacios and English left-back Sessegnon as cover for Ndombele and Mendy respectively. Meanwhile, Fekir throws tantrum after tantrum because he wants to "move to a bigger club". When a $65m bid from Man City comes in during the January window, Donkey has no choice but to accept.

Upon confirming the sale, a very pissed and irritated Donkey looks through the Man City squad and lowballs an offer in spite for their best player, $140m-rated Kai Havertz (who somehow ended up in England in 2019). To his surprise, Pep accepts.

Donkey is happy, having now upgraded his midfield options while getting rid of a whiny Frenchman.

 

Trophies

Coupe de la Ligue

The League Cup Final begins, and Lyon are against their arch-rivals of recent years, PSG. While their front line may boast talents like Mbappe, Cavani and Neymar, one man stood out from the rest. And no, he was not wearing a PSG shirt.

 

In the second minute, Hassane Bande picks up the ball on the left side of the pitch. He dribbles past one, two, three defenders, and unleashes a shot! 1-0 to Lyon inside two minutes!

5 minutes later, Hassane does exactly the same thing, and scores yet again! Lyon have a 2 goal lead, and the match has just begun!

28 minutes played, and Ndombele randomly hoofs a long ball over Marquinhos and Kehrer in PSG's defence. Oh, Hassane somehow gets on the end of it, and strikes one past Areola! Hassane Bande, ladies and gentlemen, has just scored a first-half hat-trick for Lyon!

At this point, Cavani and Neymar are pissed, and pull two back for PSG!

But the damage is done, and Cornet seals the deal with a stoppage-time strike to give Lyon a magnificent 4-2 win! Hassane Bande, the maligned man of yesteryear, has almost single-handedly won the whole cup by himself!

 

 

Coupe de France

In what was a pretty straightforward match after the highs of Hassane's hat-trick, Lassina and young winger Gouiri put Nice to the sword to win the Coupe de France

 

Ligue 1

Lyon start the season off pretty well. Hassane Bande namely, somehow seems to be on a high, scoring brace after brace after brace. By the turn of the year, he's Lyon's top scorer. The media and audience begin to get suspicious. How could someone who was missing penalties and open goals last season score screamers from 40 yards just a year on?

Rumours surface that his special training may or may not have involved illegal performance-enhancing drugs, but of course Donkey shrugs the claims off. Who would do such a thing, right? 😅

In any case, Bande's form leads Lyon to another league title with a few games to spare.

They improve on their points total, repeating their 100-point haul from the first season under Donkey, albeit still not breaking the 100-goal mark.

 

European competition

Ah, this is the big one. Donkey was pretty bummed out about the last two seasons of disappointment, so he goes into the European campaign with very much lower expectations.

However, Lyon completely outdo themselves yet again.

They somehow finish top of the group, powered by an insane Hassane Bande and the creativity of Bruno Fernandes.

Then in the knockout rounds, the Traore brothers help to squeeze past a strong Juventus side, while securing a 3-1 aggregate win against Barcelona.

In the semifinal, Lyon are up against Man City, and Kai Havertz completely embarrasses his old team and the whiny Fekir, scoring once and setting up another in the away leg. Lyon are through to the final!

Will Donkey's Lyon finally win the UCL? Or will they falter, yet again, leaving them to wait yet another long-arduous season?

 

Let's take you to the live match coverage by world-renowned star reporter, football journalist and European match commentator, Ree Porter. (wait why is it always this dude?)

 

Spoiler

 

 

So the match begins, it's Lyon against Liverpool in the UEFA CL Final. Lyon have not had a shot at this trophy for the past two years, while Liverpool have seen more success, making it into the knockout rounds and even winning it two years ago. Obviously the favourites here are Liverpool, but there may be a chance that Lyon might prove to be something of a menace. After all, they've got the creative duo of Havertz and Fernandes, and of course that Burkina front three who will definitely cause problems for Liverpool's defence.

 

18th minute - Liverpool have had 60% possession so far, they're passing it around the back here- oh it's an interception from Bande, who gives it to the onrushing Lassina Traore! Lassina sets himself and shoots- IT'S A GOAL! LYON ARE 1-0 UP FROM A MISTAKE BY LIVERPOOL! 

 

Half-time - Liverpool are really knocking on Lyon's door here, they're opening up much more, which not only gets them more shots on goal, but gives Lyon much more space to attack with, too. Really close game.

72nd minute - Ooh, Joel Matip goes for a header with Bande and brings him down. He's in pain, looks like he's gonna need to come off. While this is probably the millionth time he's gotten injured, let's still hope it's not too serious. (looks like Salah's laughing in the corner, haha)

 

90+3 minute - Lyon are just hanging on here, Jordan Henderson sends a through ball to Djibril Sow who gets past the Lyon defence and takes a shot! IT'S A GOAL, LIVERPOOL HAVE EQUALISED ON THE BRINK OF STOPPAGE TIME!

Extra Time - Both teams have become even more rigid following the Liverpool equaliser, especially Lyon. Donkey seems to be scared sh*tless. He's gone on full contain and dropped Ndombele into defence, what a genius. 120 minutes have passed and it goes to penalties.

 

Lassina steps up - and scores!

Woodburn for Liverpool - miss!

Havertz - scores!

Salah - scores!

Cornet (who has come on for Bande again) - scores!

Mickael Cuisance (who?) - scores!

Palacios - scores!

Jonny (who?) - scores!

Montiel (signing from season 1) - scores!

Josip Brekalo (who?) for Liverpool... he needs to score to keep them in this...

(Donkey is sweating, he's probably pissed his pants)

... HE MISSES! LYON WIN THE SHOOTOUT AND WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!

 

Donkey goes to hug his players, wipe his face (and his pants), and screams happily at the crowd. It looks like he's about to cry.

 

The Burkina Babes

Big Bert

Less goals than last season, but thankfully that was made up for by the other two jokers.

This time he doesn't win as many awards as last season.

 

Lassina Traore

His attributes are improving nicely, his value's going up, and he's only 20. More goals yet again, and a higher average rating. 33 in 46 for the young boi.

His form leads him to take some of the annual awards from his brother. Bertrand is jealous.

 

Hassane Bande

The only thing to say is that the drugs special training worked. Dude just went absolutely mad this season, scoring more than double his previous tally, and improving his rating by a massive 0.3 points.

He also snuck into the league's top 3 goalscorers, scoring 20 in the league.

In other news, it's probably going to be impossible to outscore Mbappe for the next few seasons, and maybe even the whole career, unless Lyon switch to focus on a single striker which will never happen anyway. Bet that next season Kylian will score something like 35 goals in the league.

Anyway, here's the result of Bande's beautiful injury in the UCL Final.

 

Overall, great season from the lads.

 

Trophy Count:

Season 1 - 3

Season 2 - 4

Season 3 - 5

Total - 12

 

Goal Count:

Season 1 - 23+23+17 = 63

Season 2 - 30+27+14 = 71

Season 3 - 24+33+29 = 86

Total - 220/1500

Thanks Chaz, it's great fun playing this save too as the tactic's really starting to shape up and the team is requiring very few transfers to plug the gaps, if any now

Thank you legend, I'm hoping to achieve as much success with this as you have with Se-Jin and Bangoura, although currently the three of them are looking more like Bangoura rather than the Korean HAHA

And by the looks of it I may need about 10 or more seasons at their peak to even have a chance at completing 1500 goals, assuming I keep up the rate of about 100 goals a season at the very least, but that's where the fun is amirite 😁

We're still waiting the next episode of this rising African trio

Yes of course, I've been a bit busy these few days so I haven't had the chance to post, these updates are taking pretty long to write up too haha

[DonkeyDele]

Here's a sneak peek though of what may be to come for the next season update (coming out tomorrow btw)

 

LYON'S BURKINA TRIO COMPLETELY DESTROY ZAMBIA IN THE WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS

Big Bert scores twice, and his brother scores once, while Hassane sets up both of their goals! (typical unselfish Hassane, no wonder he has so few goals)

This image makes me a very happy boi   Sadly international goals wont count even though they all are Burkinabe, as Burkina Faso isn't a playable national team. (or at least I haven't seen so far) Well at least they are the undisputed front three for both club and country!

[DonkeyDele]

Season Four: 2021/22

After Lyon's unexpected Champions League win against Liverpool last season, Donkey goes into the next season with renewed confidence. However, Hassane's form of last year seems to have died down over the course of this next season.

However, Lassina thankfully kicks off the season on a high with a win against PSG in the Trophee Des Champions.

 

They also somehow squeeze through a UEFA Super Cup victory against Inter, courtesy of Skriniar fumbling over his legs in the 2nd minute, and Ndombele's stoppage-time header to seal the deal.

 

Important Transfers

A pretty quiet season in terms of transfers for Lyon. Without any notable departures from the squad, Donkey sees no need to really spend big, and chooses to snag a few youngsters (regens) for cover and future potential starters in the coming years, before sending them all out on loan, Chelsea style. Most notably, he brings in Maximiliano Barovero for $5.75m from Huracan, (regen) an Argentinian fullback who can play across the defence and in midfield as cover for the existing defence. He also throws $27.5m at Ajax for Ryan Gravenberch, only to send him out on loan to some Portuguese club for the season. To be fair, he's not going to get much game time with people like Kai Havertz and Bruno Fernandes ahead of him in the pecking order.

 

Trophies

Coupe de la Ligue

Sadly, Lyon's three-year dominance of the league cup is undone by a solo Neymar goal in the 19th minute. Furthermore, Cornet's equaliser in the 22nd minute is ruled offside by VAR, causing Donkey to shout at the ref and get sent to the stands for the rest of the game.

 

Coupe de France

Happy days as Lyon retain their Coupe de France with goals from both Traores and Amine Gouiri, who is fast becoming the new backup for the ever-jaded Hassane Bande.

 

Club World Cup

Easy win for Lyon against Sao Paulo. With the Burkina trio all injured or tired, Donkey puts out a second-string team including 18-year-old Jimmy Deher, poached from the Bordeaux youth academy for $6m, who goes on to score in the 5th minute. Argentinian centre-back Montiel, who has been with the side for 4 years now, scores too, while captain Bruno puts away a penalty.

 

Ligue 1

Lyon steamroll the league once again. Nothing else to say.

At this point, Donkey literally owns the league. 34 wins and 119 goals scored with a whopping 103 goal differences sees Lyon destroy the league, 20 points ahead of PSG who are in turn 10 points ahead of Monaco. It's gonna be a while before anyone can take the title from Lyon at this point.

This was not without the efforts of the Burkina trio, who finish 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the goalscoring charts, all with respectable goal tallies. Lassina just misses Pellegri by 1 goal, while his brother finishes close behind with 20. Hassane also almost reaches his tally of 20 from last season.

Meanwhile, Mbappe's just Mbappe-ing at this point. 35 goals as predicted.

 

Champions League

Once again, Lyon make it to another UCL final. Will Donkey's Burkina babes repeat their feat from last year?

Here we go again, with the live match coverage by world-famous European-and-everywhere-else match commentator, football journalist etc. etc. guy, Ree Porter. (yes it is indeed a one-man show here)

 

Spoiler

 

Welcome to this season's UEFA Champions League Final. It's Lyon against Borussia Dortmund this time. In a worrying piece of team news from Lyon, however, star playmaker Bruno Fernandes has gotten injured in last week's Coupe de France final.

What makes it even more irritating for Lyon is that he's out for only ten days, which means he'll have recovered probably only a couple of days after the final. How will Lyon perform without their main creative outlet?

 

First half: 0-0

Lyon have been absolutely peppering the Dortmund goal. They've had like 10 shots and 3 on target, with a clear-cut chance just missed by Hassane Bande. Lyon clearly are dominating here, but when will the scoreline reflect that?

 

Second half: STILL 0-0

Lyon are still dominating possession, having taken 25+ shots to Dortmund's 4. But the Dortmund keeper is having the game of his life.

Lassina Traore shoots! Saved!

Bertrand tries to finesse one in! Saved!

Kai Havertz long shot! Saved!

Lassina tries a header! Saved!

Hassane Bande tries a backheel! Saved!

Bertrand on the volley! Saved!

Hassane chips the goalkeeper! Saved!

Montiel from centre-back tries a halfway line Rooney shot! Saved!

Lassina rounds the keeper but it's cleared off the line! The goalie's managed to save it!

Ndombele spits on the grass in anger! The goalie's got a hand to save that?!

Donkey throws his shoe at the ref! SOMEHOW STILL SAVED!!????!!

How in the world are Dortmund holding on?

 

Extra Time:

98th minute - Oh, it's coming, it's coming boys! Dortmund have won back possession, they're on the counter now! Lyon's defenders are playing such a high line, there's nobody back to defend! Dortmund's midfielder sends a long through ball, Robertone's latched onto it, he's one-on-one, HE SCORES!!! WE KNEW IT WAS COMING! THE SUCKER PUNCH GOAL! DORTMUND LEAD 1-0 AGAINST LYON, AGAINST ALL ODDS, IN THE DEPTHS OF EXTRA TIME!!! DORTMUND ARE GOING ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

 

Wow, would you take a look at the Lyon manager. He's kicking the ground, he's taken off his other shoe and thrown it at the ref! He's screaming a string of expletives at everyone around him!

106th minute - It's a nice pass here from Havertz to Bertrand Traore, who dribbles past one defender, then the other, then takes a shot- SQUEEZED IN BETWEEN THE LEGS OF THE KEEPER! ABSOLUTE MADNESS! AFTER 31 SHOTS, 14 ON TARGET, AND 4 CLEAR-CUT CHANCES, LYON FINALLY EQUALIZE! IT'S DEFINITELY GOING TO PENALTIES!

 

Penalties:

Donkey looks like he wants to die. The Dortmund manager can't believe his luck.

Alcacer for Dortmund - scores!

Bertrand - scores!

Passlack - scores!

Bande steps up - misses! (as he always does)

Donkey's giving him the finger as he walks back to the team. Had to be him, hadn't it?

Robertone the goalscorer - scores!

Deher the youngster - scores!

Donkey screams at Bande, gesturing to Deher and mouthing "even he can f***ing do it" to Bande.

Pereira - scores!

Gouiri - scores!

Witsel - misses!

Here's a chance for Lyon to come back into this... Montiel - scores!

Schurrle - scores!

Lyon can't afford to miss... Lucas Tousart runs up... - MISSES! DORTMUND HAVE DONE IT!

SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, AGAINST ALL ODDS, MAYBE DIVINE INTERVENTION, LYON HAVE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO LOSE THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL, DESPITE THEIR INCREDIBLE DOMINANCE OVER 120 MINUTES AGAINST DORTMUND!

 

How. In. The. World. Have. Lyon. Lost. It.

The players are all strewn over on the grass, motionless. Donkey's going absolutely livid. He's shouting at no one in particular. He's kicking the air at no one in particular. Is this what insanity looks like?

There's literally not a single aspect of Lyon's performance today that you can criticize, and yet they have lost it. Congratulations to Dortmund, though.

Shut up Lassina, you were anonymous in the final, what form are you talking about?

Literally only 3 days later, Bruno returns, and Donkey feels like punching him. (just kidding, we do not advocate player abuse here)

 

 

Now, moving on...

The Burkina Babes

Big Bert

Better goalscoring return, his highest so far. Doesn't seem to be improving any more though.

 

Lassina Traore

A huge 37 goals to finish as Lyon's top scorer. The youngest of the trio, but still the best. 

 

Hassane Bande

Yeah, go on and score 22 goals in the season, but miss a penalty in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL. He can score screamers from outside the box for fun, but when it comes to penalties from 12 yards out, he skies them all the way back to Africa and it's his manager who'll be screaming instead.

 

 

Trophy Count:

Season 1 - 3

Season 2 - 4

Season 3 - 5

Season 4 - 5

Total - 17

 

Goal Count:

Season 1 - 23+23+17 = 63

Season 2 - 30+27+14 = 71

Season 3 - 24+33+29 = 86

Season 4 - 34+37+22 = 93

Total - 313/1500

Nice, the Traore brothers are absolutely destroying the League while Bande might need more intense drugs special training now

Yeah absolutely, he really can't seem to break that 30 goal mark

What's worse is that he's actually an "unconvincing penalty taker" according to my assman in the training screen. Which kinda makes sense when you think of all those penalties he skied into the stands

Unfortunately Håland on my DT right now is NOT an unconvincing penalty taker and yet still skies them. 

 

Keep on going though, this is really entertaining

Thanks everyone, I really hope they will continue to improve (hopefully drastically) because we are only 1/5 of the way there, and already 4 seasons in so there's not much time left haha

But thanks for the support anyway! :)

BREAKING NEWS: STAR WINGBACK FERLAND MENDY HAS LEFT LYON IN A SHOCK $55M MOVE

Here's your favourite reporter Ree Porter with the latest scoop.

Lyon favourite Ferland Mendy has made the move from Lyon to Valencia for a whopping $55m, amidst reports of a falling-out with his manager Donkey Dele.

Upon being interviewed, Donkey was reported to have said, "Well he was asking for $375k a week, so I threw my shoe at him and asked him to get out".

.

.

.

Donkey Dele is sitting with his assman Gerard Baticle in his top-secret manager discussion conference room place.

Donkey: "How are we going to replace Mendy?"

To which his assman Gerard replies: "Dude just sign the other one..."

.

.

.

BENJAMIN MENDY MOVES TO LYON

"I mean they're kind of the same person anyway", says Donkey at the unveiling.

[DonkeyDele]

Season Five: 2022/23

As revealed in the previous update, manager Donkey replaces Mendy with Mendy, what a stroke of genius. Even after this, Lyon are still as rich (if not richer) than PSG  Qatar Sports Investments company. They could buy like 3 and a half Mbappe's at this point.

 

Important Transfers

In the January window, Lyon receive an insane offer. Which of course Donkey accepts.

4 times his valuation! This is the perfect time to throw some of that money to the ailing PSG, who haven't won a title in years...

$25m??? For a guy with 20 pace, 20 tackling, more greens than the grass and who can play all the way into midfield, while also weakening PSG's defence??? Donkey would gladly pay $50m more for this guy. Donkey also makes a 293m offer for Mbappe just to unsettle him a little bit. But of course Lyon have no need for the balded ninja turtle anyway.

 

Trophies

Trophees Des Champions

Apologies as I forgot to take a screenshot, but Lyon ended up losing it to PSG.

Coupe de la Ligue

Gouiri and Buon (some kid stolen from the Metz academy) give Lyon the lead, while a Bruno Fernandes pen seals the deal.

Coupe de France

Lyon destroy Bordeaux with goals from Havertz, Lassina, Bertrand and a Bruno brace.

Ligue 1

Waaay too easy at this point.

A little disappointing that Lyon did not go unbeaten this season. 121 goals though, and 104 goal difference, with the Burkina babes responsible for more than half of them. PSG's players should just retire at this point.

New signing Mendy slots into the team like a charm, giving 12 assists from left-back. It's almost like Mendy never left.

Lyon's wingbacks overall had an insane season, with first-choice pairing Mendy and Tete combining for 24 total assists, while backup pair Sessegnon and Barovero provide 19. Although 99.99% of the reason why they got so many assists was probably because they all landed on the beautiful forehead of Lassina Traore.

In other news, our favourite glass-legged Burkina boy was spotted in April doing what he does best...

To piss Donkey off even more, he decides to only do this when all of Lyon's substitutes are used up. He's definitely missing the UCL Final haha.

 

Champions League

After somehow losing it to Dortmund last year, will Lyon reclaim their title this year? Let's take you to our star football commentator and journalist Ree Porter yet again for the match coverage.

 

Spoiler

 

So once again Lyon are in the UCL Final again Havertz's old club, Bayer 04. In other team news, professional injuryman Hassane Bande has strained his thigh for the 126th time. Rumour has it that Donkey's medical staff have actually asked Bande to just turn up playing in a wheelchair instead.

Nevertheless, let's get on with the game.

45th minute - Barovero the Argentinian wonderkid right-back sends in a looping cross - it's gone past everyone, even the keeper - it's gone in!

65th minute - Lassina gets on the end of a Mendy cross (Benjamin, not Ferland), and puts it in! 2-0!

88th minute - Lassina does exactly the same thing from a Mendy corner - goal again! 3-0!

 

An easy victory for Lyon in a match they dominated!

(wait dude you stole that from the FM commentary phrases you unoriginal idiot)

So the UCL goes back to Lyon for the 2nd time in 3 years.

 

 

The Burkina Babes

Big Bert

Not much improvement anymore in terms of attributes. The guy's 27 already, time's running out for him and for the actual challenge. He gets 31 in 43 games, slightly disappointing but that's probably as good as it gets.

 

Lassina Traore

Retraining him to play at AMC somehow made his shooting and movement go up by 1 each. His attributes aren't that world-class, but he's insane in all the right areas. He's fast, has good stamina, moves into good positions and finishes with both his head and feet well. He's also selfish, which is awesome as he knocks in 56 goals in the same number of games.

Probably the best season for him as he finally edges out the balded ninja turtle with 39 goals to his 28. How in the world did N'Jie get 17 though???

Although this was because of a lucky injury Mbappe suffered that took him out for 4 months. Bande must've swapped legs with him or something. You might also notice Donkey putting in bids for random wonderkids in the other parts of this screenshot.

Lassina gets into the team of the season, which should really be renamed the "Lyon and Friends" team at this point.

 

Hassane Bande aka Injury Man

Probably reached his peak too. That 29-goal season was more of a fluke than the norm, and he goes back to scoring only 19. Wish he didn't give so many assists though. The guy is 24 and not getting any better.

 

Trophy Count:

Season 1 - 3

Season 2 - 4

Season 3 - 5

Season 4 - 5

Season 5 - 4

Total - 21

 

Goal Count:

Season 1 - 23+23+17 = 63

Season 2 - 30+27+14 = 71

Season 3 - 24+33+29 = 86

Season 4 - 34+37+22 = 93

Season 5 - 31+56+19 = 106

Total - 419/1500

 

So the 100-goal mark has been breached. Let's hope this continues, and Big Bert doesn't decline too much, and Bande stops getting injured and starts scoring.

Thanks for reading!
