Career COPA90 Derby Days - Completed!

Season 9: St. Pauli - Part 3

Except few bosman signings that were for backup , I have spent all my money on one young striker, one Mexican guy called Francisco Esquivel.... I would say "money well spent".

Until this match he only got few minutes on the pitch as he was not up with his form, and few days after the game he was caught napping, I did forgive him for the goal against Hamburg and he promised he would never happen again. 

Screenshot_20210112_114636_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.ee93570620a7d94362c68a9dce773c72.jpg

 

Until the game the situation wasn't great at all, with only one win and 2 draws in 7 games I was afraid that we gonna lose. Hamburg was just a little bit better with 3 wins and 2 draws in 7 games. Instead of attaching I went for counter and Esquivel went on for a quick goal... and that was it.

After the Hamburg game we only lost one game out of 5 so on 8th of November we were neck n' neck.

Why I'm writing up until 8th of November because I got a job that I had few hopes to get it this good... Brescia was up again in Seria A, doing what they know to do best: getting beaten by everyone!

Screenshot_20210112_123208_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.cdc530d07294b26f768e36d68dc1a2e5.jpg

In fact their manager was sacked after a 1-1 game against Atalanta. Atalanta was 2nd in the league and Brescia 2nd from bottom with 0 wins in 12 matches and 5 draws. They didn't scored more than one goal in any of the games and their best scorer had only 2 goals...

The only positive thing my assistant had to say about the team was that we have a young squad and they are determined. Determined to get back to Serie B?

The next derby is on 17 march, maybe I can fix the team until that, maybe... this is by far the worst team I got, I got better players in Germany or Spain second league, way better players.

Well done George, another one down! Good luck in Italy, you may need it 😂

Thanks Rich!

Be sure I would need it! As things stands my first priority is not win the derby but keep Brescia in Seria A. Brescia is the only team to go if I want to play this derby and if I screw up I don't know when this job will be available again.... Oh I know, it will be available when they kick me out because I went in Serie B 😂

Season 9: Brescia - Part 1

Finnaly again on this save after my beautiful COVID got me off the track for two weeks (wasn't my fault, my father in law got it for me as a present... I had the first symptoms in the day of my birthday, so it was a present).

I did managed to get what I've hoped from this one, to keep Brescia alive in the Seria A. With a tight budget I managed to get two players, one (Knight - AMR) was a free transfer and I managed to get it just two weeks after I got the job due to work permit delay. The second one I got it in the January transfer window and spent all my money on him, a young striker as my only ok-ish striker from the squad is 33 years old and his stats started to decline.

Even if I got Brescia on 13th place, it wasn't far from the relegation zone and managed to pull away just in the last few games as I was stuck on 16-18 place for the majority of time... when I got the job Brescia only had 5 points, 7 points less than Napoli who was on 17th place.

As for the Lombardia Derby, I didn't had high hopes! Still managed to pull a draw as my young striker got the equalizer in the 75th minute.

Now that this season is over, I have few players who will come on bosman to patch my defense and hopefully the board will give me some money to buy one or two players, enough to kill Atalanta next season!

Season 10: Brescia - Part 2

With just 15M transfer budget to get "mid-table finish" I've used that wisely... improved further the facilities and got gold badges for all my coaches and physios. And because I wasn't sure I can beat Atalanta from the first game in the season I got myself 4 future prospects plus one good defender.

The derby was scheduled to be the 10th game from the league and the fixtures were so nicely done that I could solidify a standard team. At the kick-off time I was on Champions League places and Atalanta on Europa League places so hopes were high.

So nice to see that SI included this game in the derby list even if was played just 2 times in the last 15 years! And with this one completed I have won all the derbies from Italy!! I wish there were some options to remove Italy from the job center to make my life easier.

 

After the game I did what was obvious, headed to the job center and lord behold, it was one seat available waiting for me. But before that, let's see where I left Brescia

3rd place in the league, with one less game than others, so I would say it's title contenders.

Tactics wise, the formations is the same as last year but we did a lot of changes on instructions as we had the players to hold that. The biggest change was the switch from Counter to Attacking and the passing style from Direct to Short.

tactic.thumb.jpg.4ef49b225bc88ecdd1dbba1bf71f05d1.jpg

 

So, the next destination is... Valencia CF!

1194194410_valenciajob2.thumb.jpg.687212776fc3a59044101296dcb318af.jpg

 

A nice surprise is to see my old teams (Oviedo and Deportivo la Coruna) still in La Liga and also Atletico Baleares who I left in Segunda is also in La Liga. I think that the great facilities and the gold natural staff that I left there is doing a great job. And also, 8 years after my departure, they still have 2 players that I bought.

1188719402_oldfriends2.thumb.jpg.c7a5ab3db05d26f869b0562bbbe95952.jpg

 

Valencia in on 14th and the boards wants Champions League football next year, is doable but very, very hard. The team has some decent players but weirdly I have 8 AMC, 7 CD, 5 GK and 7 DL/DR... only 2 MC, 2 FC and 2 AMR/AML... super weird. I must go with this until January transfer window where 80M will turn this team around. The derby is in early April so plenty of time to create a good team to win it. Funny, like on Brescia, the manager was sacked after the game against the rivals... this time a defeat 3-1 on away.

Season 10: Valencia

Sad that this one derby is not included in the FMM derby list, only the second one from 10 derbies until now. The first one was Atletico Baleares - Mallorca and I can see why, that game was played only in one season in the last 40 years but this one.... 

 

I only had 6 games until the January transfer window and I somehow assembled a tactic, a weird one with 2 AMCs, never done that before... we only lost the game against Barca so super satisfied with it. Right from the first day, 90% of the players started the retrain and in January we got just few players: Trillo (MC), Juwara (AML), Bitton (FC) and Di Serio (AMR). All these players made a huge impact, Di Serio even won League Player of the Year!

Di Serio award

After the derby we had no jobs available so I went on to finish the season, I got an honorable 5th place finish and basically missed the board expectations of Champions league qualifications, I was nervous about it but then this message came in... great!

On 30th of June come in a batch of free players, Berto Cambeiro is a great player, from Barcelona. All other players will serve as backups at the begining... Dum, Naylor and Sobiro will be surely go in the starting XI after one or two months.

Final Tactic

Also in late June a job was available, Hertha Berlin has been relegated from Bundesliga and that ment they will play next season in the Bundesliga 2, the same league as their rivals Union Berlin (who finished 5th) so I went for it. In the mean time, Hertha made a transfer bid for one of Valencia players, one that was already on the go as he wanted to leave. They offered 7.5M.... and because this career was just a roller coaster so far, I have decided to play around and did a "dirty one" and asked for only 1M 🤣

Screenshot_20210129_111448_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.6d677f433ec096959cd0b460afd473ff.jpg

 

And guess what, just 3 days after the Jankewitz offer came in, other offer came in, this time it was for me!! It looks that I will go back to Germany!

Screenshot_20210129_111706_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.acaa1bd4580db8d399a9359d38a5c23f.jpg

 

What did I got in Berlin? A decent budget for Bundesliga 2... yes, 36M is only decent, in Germany's second league there are better players than half of Serie A or La Liga so 36M won't get me much as I need great players! The squad... ok-ish and 19 players with exclamation mark and I can't fix any of it because the wages are soooo big (100-200K) and right now the maximum wage I can offer is 60K, no matter if I transfer all the budget to wages, 60K sharp! If I get one or two good defenders, one AMR, one AML and one MC I can say we will beat Union Berlin from the first go.

Good win for Valencia and a nice 5th place to leave them. I like a rebuilding job, so good luck at Hertha! 

I must say I'm not happy at all that I'm on Hertha side on this game, we all love a good underdog going up and I did wish to take on Union but hey, this is how the game came in so...

Plus that I never loved Hertha, I remember back in the good days when they played Rapid Bucharest, even I'm not supporting Rapid, I hated Hertha! Rapid went on to win home and away in the UEFA Cup but the feeling that Hertha gave me was powerful and total disgrace.

Season 11: Hertha BSC

This journey in lower league Germany could not get better, was short and easy and because was no love from me the club had no love for me, simple as that... that doesn't mean I didn't win the derby!

So I won the Berliner Derby and right after the match I went to the job center, no jobs were available for me at the time but 4 targeted teams had Very Insecure manager jobs: Barcelona, Arsenal, Tottenham and Betis Sevilla. I declared my interest in 3 of them... you know on what team I didn't declare interest, and next day the board sacked me because my mind was elsewhere so they stand that. You know, you made my life easier!

My short stay in Berlin was one... very interesting! First I had to fight Bayern in the DFL-Supercup and even that I sent my B team on the pitch I got the trophy. Luis Suarez is not the one from Atletico, is the other one who was at Watford.

So I had to sail without a team for about 3 weeks, Barcelona sacked their manager and hired another one, someone called Martinez. Arsenal was still Very Insecure, Tottenham... I don't know, didn't look and the only one who sent me an offer was Betis.

Screenshot_20210129_204654_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.26ea8667eb8d52e45e6e4f915bb3d13f.jpg

If you would look at the table you will say that is a decent team but this is the worst squad that I got so far, no wonder that they went bust from LaLiga.

See my best goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, attacking midfielders and striker. You get better players in League Two! Apart from the attacking mids, they are all rubbish... and is a short squad with only 24 players (28 if I'm counting the second team)

Season 11: Betis Sevilla - Part 1

With VLP and TTR around this career went back to "backburner-ish" status... so just finished the first season with Betis. It was a hard one but, as usual, I saved the beast. Right now I have a tactic that works with every team, no matter how bad it is. I've used it on Brescia, St. Pauli, Everton plus few other clubs and now on Betis. Every time I had to make small adjustments to fit the team but it worked. From a desperate squad I just bought 2 players, got two free agents and loaned 3 and this team was perfect... I had to play my whole season with a 16 yo goalkeeper, 16 yo right back, 16 yo DM... basically all of Betis academy graduates, they were bad but better than the seniors.


Those two player I bought were one 18yo striker, a wonderkid that set me back 9.75M and one 16 yo DM that I got 2.8M. My luck was that I managed to sell few players to get the money. After these 2 signings I was left with 0.1M in the bank 🤣

The wonderkid made wonders and by the look if it it will develop superb. Hopefully I will get a budget next season so I can battle with FC Sevilla. Sevilla didn't had the best season and finished only 8th so there are hopes, maybe not on the first derby but surely for the second one.

What do you mean there’s no hope for the 1st derby? I’m sure it’ll be very easy for you.

Other clubs, in Spain second division, gave me 20-40M to achieve pay-off spot or less. Betis gave me 11M to achieve promotion and wasn't that low because of the previous manager as he spent only 30K and sold 4M worth of player... so I knew the board won't give me much.

And I was right, I got 28M for mid-table finish. 

I got some free players, sold some of the old squad and I had 40M in the bank. With that money you can't get much right now, 12 years in the game. So I found 3 wonderkids of 17-20 years old that already look good so with half a season under their belt, plus the other players from. Last year... if I will beat Sevilla from the first Derby it would be good, but I don't want to make false hope.

Sadly I didn't had my best players up for this, with 3 from the starting XI not available, 2 injury and one tired (poor stamina) and after a good first half I had to go defensively and Sevilla went on to ambush, no luck for them!

Before the match the better team in Sevilla was Betis, 8 places up front with one less game (Sevilla FC had 10 games played and Betis only 9) and you can see from the fixtures that we went mild on them 🤣

The tactic was the same, with only one minor change, from counter to control!

Right after the game I took the newspaper and there was the perfect job, my beloved Arsenal listed the manager job as available: Apply!!

The game was on 26th October, right next day I got the job offer!!

From the first look the problem here is the defense, I only have one natural CB (the second one is injuryed for one month), 3 right full-backs and only one left full-back. Joseda and Mendes went straight to retrain but I will play with 3 at the back DL-CB-DR, kind of weird, hopefully will work. Also, the central midfielders are not too good so I will go with two MCs and one AMC to help there.

I must say, I like that I got some real players from the original squad like Saka, Martinelli, Smith Rowe, Balogun and Guendouzi; also Ramos Mingo that I got it for Atletico Baleres right when I started this career is here, and there is one player not in the screenshot, Joao Pedro who I personally agreed his transfer to Arsenal from Hertha BSC and he was my best striker there. Also I got the 31 yo Foden, 28 yo Cherki and 29 yo Mendes... all in all a good team so I have high hopes I can beat Spurs from the first game.

The game will take place 26th December, exactly my 10th game here.

This is how the table looks right now, only 6 points between us. Totally do-able in December. It was nice to get the game in January maybe so I can get few players.

Season 12: Arsenal

I finally get the time to post this one, VPL and TTR get the playing time and is so little these days... so this one get's just bits from time to time.

Sorry @broodje kip and @Mr Tree as I've let you down, the bad luck didn't come and killed Spurs from the first go 🤣

Pedro saved me on this one, as well on Hertha, great player and I think I'm gonna try to use him in other careers. And Pedro was only one of many good players this team had: Perrin, Foden, Cherki, Blanco etc. When I got to Arsenal Foden had 0 goals and only 2 assists. He bagged around 2 goals every match since. This team only had two problems: 1. just few defenders and 2. a stupid manager. 

At the time of the derby we just climbed in the Europa League spots and Spurs went down on 9th, with only 1 less point.

After the game I had no jobs so I went on with it and I was thinking that I will finish the season at Arsenal. I did prepare January transfer window and the team worked smooth... until early February when I got a new job. I hate to leave now Arsenal and I leave for a shitty job as I was hoping to get on to Real so I can play Barca and Atletico or go to Portsmouth... and no, It wasn't any of these.

First,  I left Arsenal when we were top of the table.

The team is still in Europa League, good position in the league... out of Spain Cup but I have no idea why the manager got sacked. The team is a good one, just 4 players are unhappy... the best so far, no idea! Is maybe impossible to win the league and maybe a hard one to beat Real right now but never say never... this is really one of the beast teams that I got so anything is possible.

Season 12: Atletico Madrid - Part 1

When I got to Atletico the team was pretty good so it didn't take long to get in shape. In fact my first game was in about one week so plenty of time to analyze the team and make a tactic... and what a tactic as I didn't lose any game until the end of the season, I got 18 wins and 3 draws.

The Madrista Derby was scheduled for 10th of April but due to the fact that I went on and on in the Europa League, the derby kept rescheduled until we had to play on 4th of May.

Original schedule and 2 x reschedule

At the day of the derby Atletico was on 4th and Real on 2nd, but as I was saying, Atletico was on a very good run!

At the end of the season the situation didn't change at all, and I can't understand because I got 36 out of 42 possible points, beating Barcelona and Real in the process...

A very nice surprise was that my best two signings from Betis were named 2nd and 3rd best players in La Liga... And I think I'm gonna buy Silva this summer transfer window.

The tactic, classic!

I now only have to complete two derbies, one is Real vs. Barca and the other is Portsmouth vs. Southampton. As I'm in Spain, I will try to beat Real and Barca home and away and win everything so one of them will sack their manager. Sounds like a plan?
