Kanegan

Arrival of the Korean The big day had come. After being in the youth ranks at Valencia, i was being bought by PSV for a massive 43 mil. Wow, i never thought i would be so in demand for a club to shell that much. But then i heard about the new coach who replace Mark van Bommel, Mr. @Kanegan and i understood. This man was known to make some bizarre transfers but this one just topped the list. I mean, who would pay a staggering 43 mil for a 17 year old South Korean?? Those thoughts continued as i made way to the Philips Stadion where the whole board and the team was assembled for a pre-season bonding. Once i made it to the board room i heard a lot of arguments and quarrels and the words clearly flowed outside which indicated the pitch at which the conversation was going on. Now, i had learnt some basic English so i understood what Trent Sainsbury and Ryan Thomas, the Trans Tasmanian members of the current squad were discussing and i was in for a rude shock when they said that our coach had sold off or demoted all our strikers. What the hell was he thinking?? Suddenly, out came Mr. Kanegan with a shiny glimmer on his face as if he had won the Champions League. "Boys, Buckle up. We are going Strikerless" OH MY!!! WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO??

Since my H2H with @Damilare has reached a dead end due to him being unresponsive over last couple of weeks, i thought i needed to go back to the challenge attempts and what better way than to do by attempting my own especially when i get called out by fellow Viber @Manjus for not attempting this and also seeing @kylieboi88 continuing his great attempts at this challenge. So, by far you must have realized but anyways here is the challenge: Now, i normally do not repeat players which are being used by others but this is different. I had to use Kangin Lee who is being used by @Manjus because this will be more than just the Park Ji-Sung challenge and for that this person fit the bill.

Since @Damilare has not shown his face in a while whereas i have already finished two seasons in Round 2 so what better to post here and let the Nigerian post his when he is ready. Round 2 Season 5 So, i stayed in Germany and joined my second 2.Bundesliga club on the trot, League Performance My 4th successive title win but points were too low. Cup Run & Notable Matches We script a magical win against Stuttgart in the 1st round of German Cup. So, the Golden Boot is back with me after a misstep last season. Top Goalscorer Top Assist Man So, Season Total - 72+29 + 10(League Title) + 5(1 Award) - 116 points Round 2 Season 6 League Performance My 1st century of points with a healthy goal difference meant we picked up our highest points from the league Cup Run Loader, our English import wins the Golden Boot Top Goalscorer Top Assist Man Season Total - 104 + 49 + 10(League Title) + 5(1 Award) - 168 points Total points upto Round 2 Season 6 - 284 So, 6 out of 6 promotions so far. Now to wait and see what @Damilare brings to the table.

No, we need to stay with the same team as the main aim of this challenge is to emulate the career of the Korean legend so yes, only two teams allowed in the entirety of this career, PSV and a Premier League team.

Well done mate. Fantastic career.

You nailed the Holland part. Now the time to move has come. Best of luck for England

Actually, the original challenge was posted for FMM 2018 where @kylieboi88 first tackled it. The link you have is his 2018 attempt. I reposted it for 2019 forums so that's why you have got the dates all mixed up. Coaching badges doesn't really make any major difference so it is ok with Gold badge. Kangin Lee is a pretty good choice but definitely overpriced. So, as you mentioned if you are not able to manage the Top 6 in Premier league, then buying Lee might be a problem or you could look at Player exchanges. But first things first, good luck with the Eredivisie.

Well, i have full plan of tackling this one once i have some time. Good luck with this.

Great start mate. Kiu

Thanks mate. It has been a good 1st round so far.

Round 1 Season 4 Sorry for the long wait everyone as we were both a little busy with our professional lives. So, but here we are again. So, i needed to round off in Germany to finish this round while @Damilare got to finish in Spain. Advantage Nigerian. I got the job with a decent club: So, i needed a big big season if we are to compete in this round as the sheer amount of games difference between the German and the Spanish league makes it an almost impossible task. League Performance We actually managed an unbeaten season. Unbelievable, first time in this H2H i got that. The no. of goals scored were drastically low but my defence was the standout. Still, 11 draws were a bit too much and i was hoping to get some more points in the league. Cup Run After a run of 34 unbeaten games, finally we succumbed to the mighty Bayern in the German Cup semis. Nowhere near the Golden Boot award as my chosen striker got injured for about 3 months and my other back up strikers were complete shit. Top Goalscorer Top Assist Man So, Season Total - 80+38 + 10(League Title) - 128 points Round Total - 420+128 - 548 points So, 4 out of 4 promotions and an unbeaten league campaign to end the 1st round. So, @Damilare, you are up next. Finish strong.

Round 1 Season 3 So, after my exploits in England and France, for my third club i went to France and took charge of the second oldest club in the country: I took charge of the club for just three games before the new season arrived: League Performance Notable Matches & Cup Runs We managed a fantastic run in the French Cup, going till the semis aided by some easy matches but PSG stopped our march. Awards Letter J continue to work for me as this is the third player whose name starts with J who wins the Golden Boot. Our Main Man, H2H Update: @Damilare - 98+58+10(League Title)+ 10( 5x2 for 2 awards) - 176 @Kanegan - 77+35+10(League Title) + 5(5x1 for 1 award) + 5(Top goalscorer) + 5 (Top assist man) - 137 @Damilare leads 431 - 420 @Kanegan with 1 season remaining in Round 1.

Season 2 Ok, so we head into Season 2 (technically my season 3 as one full season went in getting the desired job) of this H2H as we move on to he great county of Lancashire and the League 2 club: So, firstly transfers: So, we rely only on free transfers and loanees for strengthening our team. League Performance: Finally we win a title and 10 points are secured. We started the season badly as we lost 4 of our first 6 matches but a tactical switch and a change of personnel later, we started the ball rolling and ended up winning the season overcoming Oxford and Carlisle. We exited the FA Cup and Carabao Cup pretty early but Checkatrade Trophy was an absolute marvel: We won the cup after a giant killing run including League 1 sides Shrewsbury and Lincoln and Championship side Wigan. So, 5 more points secured. Awards I got the MOTY while Jason Oswell takes the Golden Boot and POTY giving me 5x3 = 15 points in total. And Jason Oswell showed his complete performance topping the team in both goals and assists. So, 43 goals and 12 assists scored by the man. Season score: League points + GD - 88+31 = 119 points League title - 10 points Cup - 5 points Awards - 15 points Top goalscorer - 43 goals Top assists - 12 assist Total = 149 points @Damilare, you are up next.

You are eligible for this challenge so best of luck

Ok after @Damilare posts a great total, it's now my turn. So, i went to the Kingdom of Spain and hit the random pick button and too my surprise got a good team with a great bit of history. The 6 time Copa del Rey winners and the 1995 Cup Winner's Cup champion: REAL ZARAGOZA So, let's see how we got going: League Performance: We got promoted so no negative points for me in the 1st season but couldn't win the league as the monster i.e Malaga steamrolled through the league. So, 10 points dropped there. Of course our two J's, Jeison Medina and Javi Espinosa leading in goals and assists category. So, Golden Boot comfortably won. Cup Runs and Notable Match We had to face the mighty Barcelona in the 4th round and we managed to put up a fantastic performance across 2 legs losing 2-1 in our home while holding them 1-1 at Camp Nou. The only hattrick of Medina came in a 4-4 draw with Coruna. So, our top goalscorer: Our top assist man: So, here is the season 1 results: @Damilare - 138 @Kanegan - 129 (88+26 + 5 (Golden Boot) + 5 (Highest Goalscorer) + 5 (Top Assist Man)) There you go. @Damilare leads 138 - 129 going into season 2 of Round 1. Well played.
