Thanks, yeah it's going well I've actually changed formation to a 4231 as I felt it more suited my team this season so not quite full Banzai but still quite attacking

SEASON 3- 2025 So first two months in J1 and it hasn't gone too badly 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses as well as two wins in the cup Funnily, we've now dropped to 2000-1 from 1000-1 I brought in a few names Sugato being that starting centre back Obata as cover fro right back Harakawa comes in to provide some cover in the middle too after I let Igawa go Next up, two busy months

SEASON 3- 2025 And after 3 seasons here we are the promised land of J1 I think this season will be fun Despite what I think was decent enough transfer window Bringing in Ryo Miyachi Hiroki Abe and Tsubasa Terayama And new sub keeper Tomoki Ueda To name but a few I still lie 1000-1 at the bottom of the season preview The transfer window is still open, so I'm hoping to at least at another RB and if Kenta Hirose is to leave a starting cb alongside Nakayama, as Kuroki is now nothing more then a squad player if I'm honest. Pre-Season and the start of my season looks like this As said I expect it to be a tough one this year. But hopefully Banzai Ball continues Lastly I want to call out one Transfer Out For 350k Kaito Utaka leaves the club, he was my star man alongside Kuroki when I came to the club and leaves after two successful seasons at the club Sayonara Kaito you'll always be welcomed back as a bull

SEASON 2- 2024 Season 2 has come to a close and of as already forecast CHAMPIONS!!! But not only will I be going up to J1 as J2 winners I'll also be going up as League Cup winners Beating Kyoto on penalties in the quarters , Kobe in the semis and beating Kawasaki Frontale 3-0 in the final Absolute madness as I'll admit at every stage I believe this will be my last round Almost finished off the league with a 100% record but drew to Tokyo Verdy conceding a last minute penalty. Towards the back-end of the season my scouts picked up a Japanese International who was a free agent so I decided to pounce and I'll be honest assumed it would be for next season but he came straight into the squad and actually played a part in the League Cup from the Semi finals but welcome to the club Yuta Nakayama On to next season now and the J1 League , crazy to think I've made it so quickly and added a domestic trophy too. Next update just before the start of the season which I'm expecting to be a busy one.

SEASON 2- 2024 Back a little earlier than I assumed I'd be With 5 games to go, we move 16 clear of Oita and are promoted, One more win and the J2 title will be in the bag too

SEASON 2- 2024 The first real difficult run of our season, with injuries to Renyer, Ajago, Utaka, Verrone we seen a slump for June and July A run of only 2 points from 15 and getting knocked out of the All-Japan cup was a tough one. Thankfully we finished off the month with two wins leaving us still top but our original 16 point lead from the start of June has been halved to 8 Some new signings have come in to help us including a familiar face After his contract expired at RB Leipzig Simon Schierack is back Yamashita offers backup on the wings , Segawa comes in to offer another option at left back. But the best signing I think will be Takero Itoi who comes in to offer depth up front The run in is as follows, hopefully with players starting to come back I can continue the end of July form and start to get back to winning ways.

SEASON 2- 2024 Been a long week without an update but here we go... We've continued our glorious rise and currently sit 16 points clear in the J2 league and may just go back to back promotions How have we got here? Well April and May seen us only lose 2 and draw 2 with the rest of the games us picking up 3 points with a great 5-0 win over Gunma in the last game of the month. And it's not just Red Bull success in Japan happening with both RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg picking up league titles in Europe And both New York and RB Bragantino currently sitting 3rd half way through their domestic seasons Next up for me here in Japan

Great season unlucky in playoffs. Been struggling to play my Japanese save last 2 weeks due to other commitments. I'm about half way through my 2nd season and just lost my 1st game. Again as mentioned before I didn't have to build an entire team from scratch but if I have any advice from how I've found Japanese football it's 攻撃 攻撃 攻撃 😂 Basically just attack I've had two saves in Japanese league and I've found just going for it Kevin Keegan Entertainers style is the way to dominate

Season 2 -2024 Didn't have much time to play in the last week or so but I've kept the momentum of of my J3 season going in J2 As we remain unbeaten with a 100% record so far 7 points clear of Tokyo Verdy with 10 played Reyner and Utaka have been superb as has Ajago..Montes did do his ACL in the Yamaguchi game and is out for the season so my having to rotate my international players is no longer an issue as I only have 4 fit now. Up next

Thanks Japanese league is so much fun. Actually had a read through your save the other day. I started with the team that was at Osaka FC which wasn't too bad added a few sprinkles but never expected to get to J2 so quickly.

SEASON 2- 2024 And J2 season is about to begin. First up transfers I'm going to show them via the Squad Planner, tbh I kind of screwed up by signing one foreign player too many (Well one I couldn't turn down when he was offered to me) The main ones are of course Powell Obinna Obi and Soki Yatagai as my main keepers, Powell will be my number one In defence Kengo Kuroki decided to stay on so I was delighted with that but I brought in Okamoto and Tokida (Omori also came in but he may go out on loan) to act as upgrades for J2 Two Brazilian fullbacks Denzel and Rafael Verrone come in to strengthen the full back area though they'll interchange with the Japanese lads Okamura is a very talented youth player for me. In the midfield Mini and Jacob Montes* came in (* if I could rewind time I wouldn't have probably signed Montes but he's a decent player and Nicaraguan) , Sora Igawa adds depth Out wide left Yoshikawa came in on a free to add depth there. Up front Ajago of course came in as he had to, Yuta Nobe and Furuyama came in to battle it out for that poacher position next to him, Kenjiro Omae is another youth player with good potential. Though the star signing for my team and one I broke the foreign rule on but had to get him in a former wonderkid of yesteryear Renyer comes in to play on that Right hand side So what does all this mean for the season ahead Prior to transfers I was 19th in the Season Preview Now....a nice healthy mid table which i'd gladly take (Miyazaki who came up with me are 20th with 350-1 odds) And in terms of fixtures and pre-season I played five J1 teams and bar the first two were I was still putting a team together I done OK picking up lets call it 4 points from 3 teams As you see this season I also get the luxury of being in the League Cup and I've been drawn against a fellow J2 team Next update after this March One Last small thing I actually got offered an interview for Nagoya and Kawasaki from the J1 so I'm obviously doing something right, but I'm on this Red Bull Journey to the top

The first season of RB Osaka comes to an end and what a successful season J3 title with 94 points, +64 GD (129 scored 64 conceded ) Two players scoring over 20 with Ajago getting 31 (I made his transfer permanent so it will be interesting to see how he gets on next season) I will need some rebuilding for next season as a lot of the team I feel are a) not good enough b)leaving /retiring Next update will be start of our maiden J2 campaign But some stats Team of the season

With 7 games left to play Champions of J3 3 wins from October and we go 24 points clear I'll finish off the season now but looks like it will be a record breaking season.

They say Red Bull gives you wings? Well we are flying Another unbeaten month, the only blip a 2-2 draw with Toyama to deny us an 100% record What does it mean for the league? Well I think we can start dreaming of J2 With 10 games left to play we're 20 clear Here is the run in, we could become champions by the end of October if things go our way

Bar a 1-1 draw and a crazy 8-3 loss in the cup (with the youth squad may I add) June and July was perfect What does that mean for the league? Well we now stand 7 points clear of our nearest rival. Being knocked out of the cup was a little disappointing as it was to a team in a lower division but still it gives us the time to rest between games and to try and push on for possible promotion.
