kertiek Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 been playing my current game for five seasons... i been advancing towards my main objective (club world cup) but its been failure after failure, gonna make a quick review of what has happened this 5 years and the real reason why i choose to share this history. Team: Colo Colo Nation: Chile Starting Date, 06-2012 Current date, 13-08-2017 Short Team History Colo Colo, is the most succefull team in Chile, the team that was won more competitions that any other in the country, but since the year 2008 has been in crisis due a change in the administration in the club (since 2006) and that has hit the club performance in the field, has bad administration, the managers dont last in the team more than 6-7 months ( the last 10 managers havnt last more than that). At national level has been champion 29 times in the national league, at international level is one of the two teams that has silverware in this scene Copa Libertadores 1991. Copa Interamericana 1991 ( old competition that were played between the champion of copa libertadores and his similar from the concacaf federation) Recopa Sudamericana 1992 ( Something like Uefa Super cup) Carrer Objectives - Regain the national league - Focus on Youth - Win the world club cup (qualify by winning copa libertadores and/or copa sudamericana) What has happened since 2012... the league style is divided in two, opening stage and closing stage, with an overall league table that decides the relegations and some international slots, mainly the champion of the current stage qualifys for the next international cup to be played ( first half of year is copa libertadores, second half copa sudamericana).within the either stage there is a regular season and playoffs after, the best 8 teams qualify to play the playoffs, then the competition continue in quarter finals until the champion is decided. 2012 Closing stage (first season) this season did a cleaning of the team, tried to achieve performance but the main objective was to sell all the innessesary players and build a base of players to achieve the carrer objectives. League, 11th place ( embarrasing, no play offs for us) National Cup, knocked out in 3rd round. 2013 openning Stage League, got knocked out in semi finals ( qualified to play offs in 1st place)2013 Closing Stage League, Champion, ( qualified to play offs in 1th place) National cup, Champion Copa Sudamericana, knocked out in first round by ponte preta. 2014 openning Stage League, Champion ( qualified to play offs in 1th place) Copa Libertadores, 3th place in group stage, got knocked out. 2014 Closing Stage League, Champion (qualified to play offs in 7th place) National cup, knocked out in semi finals. has to play the last part of this tournament with u20 team. Copa Sudamericana, got to semi finals, knocked out by Boca jrs* ( soon u will understand the *) 2015 openning Stage League, Runner up (qualified to play offs 1th place, lost the final against universidad catolica) Copa Libertadores, got to semi finals, ( in quarters elimated boca jrs*. ) 2015 Closing Stage League, Champion (qualified to play offs 3th place) National cup, knocked out in third round. ( this cup is never an objective to the board, so i always put my focus on copa sudamericana, i use this competition to give minutes to the youth) Copa Sudamericana, lost final against Boca Jrs* 2016 openning Stage (qualified to play offs 1th place) League, Champion Copa Libertadores ( lost the final against atletico mineiro, the glory was there but due to international callups i didnt have all my starters :/. Finally won against Boca jrs in semi-finals, but only in penalty shoot-out*) 2016 Closing Stage League, Champion (qualified to play offs 3th place) National cup, Champion ( mainly played this competition with u20 squad) Copa Sudamericana, got to semi finals, lost against Boca Jrs*2017 Opening Stage League, Champion (qualified to play offs 1th place) Copa Libertadores ( lost in semi finals against atletico mineiro) As u can see, against boca jrs i have only won one time in the five times we got to play each other, they are absolutly my arch rivals ingame, i think the main problem is the inexperience of my players (avg age is 23) and almost only four starters have more than 20 years ( between 26-28). The team is at the point that i dont need to buy players except for one and only position that is the weakness of the country in regens, in all this years the GK regens, none has potential to be even worth of development, so i had to bring 2 promising foreigners, one from paraguay (he is now in his national team) and another from brazil ( in u20 national team). The other teams develoment, the national league has never been boring, all the teams has grown, even with my 'good' performances at international level ( semi finals minimum the last 5 competitions) i still have youth players that arent interested to come to my team. ( mainly rivals and/or other good youth development teams, ohiggins and audax are really good at that). during the year 2016, the u20 squad won the u20 copa libertadores ( i felt that they were trolling me :/). other thing worth mentioning, my league is currently the 3rd best in south america. 1th brazil frist division, 2nd brazillian cup 3th chile first division 4th argentina premier division. When i feel that a player from the youth squad is ready to the first team, the starter gets sold and the young lad gets his place in the first squad, just plain and simple, the balance of the team is 24M (euros) and i have a transfer budget of 15M, wages of 42k of 192k ( the most expensive player bought is 3.5M, DC, 17 years from Boca jrs (LOL, they beat me in the pitch, we hit them outside) from ARG, he will arrive in 2018, my scouts rate him as the most promising player in south-america. have state of the art youth facilities and top training facilites, every time i have the option to ask for better training grounds, i do it, since the team have the balance, they always invest agree to invest in this, also the only board promise i have to achieve is "give youth a chance", 80% of my first squad came from the youths. all said above is one part of the reason of why i share this carrer, i still cant achieve my main objective (club world cup) i dont even have qualified to that competition, been close but no there get, the history inside an history is that am developing a player that in all my games in Football manager ( been playing since fm06) is simply the most creative and incisive player i had in one of my teams, i call him 'small messi' he alone can win the games .. why? ... every time he gets the ball, just start running at full speed doing tricks and leaving players behind, has insane technical skills, is very smart with the ball, takes very good decisions and only has 20 years. i been carefully helping him to reach his full potential (has more rom to grow) but at the quality that has now, he just goes to pitch does what he wants. Some skills of buxo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFJhB5CvHOA Attributes -> https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2584038/fm2013/colocolo/buxo2.png he has fairly professional personality, so he develops really fast and also has no problem with injuries so plays alot, for now i am training his stamina, has only 11 and for now that is his only weakness. PPM has: tries killer balls often, comes deep to get ball, runs with ball often. plays anywhere in the middle of the pitch (natural AMC, trainned him as MC and ST). so ... thats for now, will try to post updates of buxó, the little messi, and also of my failed attemps of reaching the club world cup. PD: sorry for the bad english. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
