rlipscombe Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 decided that i might gamble this season with my squad and back my talented youth to keep us in La Liga....

Lower Leagues Rule Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I agree completely with Rancer, the hardest thing in the step from Liga Vitalis to Liga Sagres was keeping the other teams out of my goal. make just a few small changes to the Centre Defenders, maybe a DM if not using one and an improvement in goalie can always help. But only 3-5 changes in the entire 16 man squad otherwise it falls apart haha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlipscombe Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 i have made some signings so far but not as many as i normally do. I have brought in 2 new LB's as i sold Antonio for financial reasons and Kolodziak as he was unhappy. i have also brought in 2 new RB's, one of which is the return of Marcos. A new CB has been added to the squad also. i'm looking to improve in wide positions although that's not essential i don't think. I realise the need for a strong defence but that has been one of our strengths in previous seasons. Palacios and Situ (providing i can keep him) are both class CB's and we've improved at full-back. Joaquin is developing nicely in goal and i want to give him a chance. we have had a friendly against Sevilla which was a 1-1 draw which has given me confidence. we were the better team in the game too. As for the youth, iacovone will be pleased to know that Munoz, Martinez, Garcia Ardura and Montiel are all in line for plenty of game time this season having performed well in pre-season. i'm looking at loan moves for our other youth players to get game time. When scouting for new players i'm only looking for players 25 or under. almost reached the season now so should hopefully make a start tonight.

iacovone Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 That makes me very happy rlipscombe If you do loan some youth out try to make the deal allow you to recall them. I've found the best thing to do is give them a few months game time, then 6 months training with you. This seems to help their development more than a whole season away from the club. Plus there is no way (as far as I can see) to tell if the player finds his loan move beneficial or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacovone Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 You would not believe the amount of money being spent by my Serie A rivals this summer! AC Milan bought Bari's excellent striker Tommaso Di Donato for £31.5m. Inter have bought Lazio CM Giustino Argento for £22m and Man City's CM Gianluca Coco (ex-Savona) for £20m. They are about to sign Bari's superb winger Alessandro Ferrari for something in the region of £30m too !! Roma bought relegated Fiorentina CM Edgar Botti for £20m.

iacovone Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Champions League Group Game 1: vs Rangers (h) The first ever Champions League game for Savona was against Scottish champions Rangers at the Valerio Bacigalupo. Rangers brought with them a familiar face in Marco Erba - former Savona Captain! It was good to see him again despite us falling out over his exit 3 years ago. The game itself saw me field a very strong Savona side filled mainly of the men that had just defeated Siena 5-1 three days ago. Notable absence was Riccardo Rotunno who is still serving a 3 match European ban for getting sent off in the Uefa Cup 2 years ago against Atletico Madrid. The opening 20 minutes were all us and we could have found ourselves more than just the 1 goal up that we were when Gianluigi Zaninelli nodded the ball into the net on 16mins. Rangers woke up after this and almost equalised on 20 mins from a header of their own. Liguori with a good save. After we withstood this pressure, we began to exert some pressure on Rangers right up to half time. Zaninelli showed good vision to slide young Davide Maggio in on goal and from a tight angle he smashed the ball into the Rangers net. Half time - 2-0. The second half began well as we kept up the pressure on Rangers. On the 70th minute though, we found ourselves down to 10 men after Maurizio Secco picked up a 2nd yellow card for a silly foul on the halfway line. It meant we switched to 4-4-1 for the remainder of the game. Surprisingly we maintained our dominance and a delightful chip to the backpost by Davide Maggio to Hannu Jalonen our young Finnish striker led to him quite nicely volleying back across the keeper and into the corner of the net. 3-0 the final score.

iacovone Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Champions League Group Game 2 PAOK (a) So with Rotunno and now Secco suspended some changes were forced upon me. I had to bring in Perelli at CB and actually decided to play a tighter 4-2-3-1 formation with just Ricki Kumar up front on his own. Ali Gul took the AMC role as Gianluigi Zaninelli was still recovering from a knee injury. We had just lost 2-1 away at Roma so it was certainly important to play well away from home in Europe. We began well and pinned the Greeks back in their own half. This pressure told after a while and Ali Gul reacted quickest to a loose ball on the edge of the box to smash home the opener on 8 minutes. The rest of the half was comfortable for us and we took a welcome cushion of a 2-0 lead into the break after that man again Davide Maggio swivelled well on a Cilona pass to rifle one in the top corner with his left foot. Needless to say I was pleased at half time. This perhaps relaxed the players a little too much though as PAOK came out well and pulled a goal back early in the half. Despite this blow we kept possession well and closed the game out more or less. PAOK had one headed chance but overall nothing to cause us too much danger. Final score 2-1 to Savona.
