During all these years I have played many versions of Football Manager in the years that many have known as Championship Manager or the very Italian Scudetto. Change the name, but the game is always the same, true to himself for years.
The years pass and the time available decreases, and so while in the past for each version I sometimes groped career programs (remember up to fifteen leagues) now that happens if I play I do it just for some, a few seasons.
After bad experiences with 2008, which just could not give me any satisfaction and the series were the square of departure, I decided to invest some hours on this brand new FM2009 attracted by the novelty of the game with 3D animation!
So I chose Fiorentina (my favorite team) and started the adventure ....
do not know if the game has suddenly become simpler than in the past but with a little luck I could not find the results right away and after a while even the "game". So to start with matches against a take home marked with a penalty goal and then my Fiorentina began to play very well with the game also against forcing squads.
I sent a couple of young people out on loan (not to annoy them always in the stands), I purchased a pair of spring promise for the turnover by next season (although Santon, from the inside, from the first team is already good and will be the replacement for that I'll Return used to Zauri Lazio ended loan) and I have done nothing but set the team on 433 offensive with high defense and offsides.
I 11 I created two alternate almost regularly, except for injuries and suspensions. The 11 strongest I've deployed in tough games and champions league. I used the weaker ones in other games.
excellent results have also allowed me to slam the door on any purchase request for my samples by the noblest of Europe. A race to the upside: Montolivo, Kuzmanovic, Santana, Gamberini, Pazzini, Mute, etc. but I do not sell any!
The season has been a long ride to success.
Cup in Italy has reached the turning point of the season with their first win against a great elimination of Juventus. To follow in a few days back I beat Juventus in the league, bypassed, and into second place behind a Rome that seemed to be running at. Cup history and then continued with two matches very hard: the semi-final against Napoli which ended with a 1-1 draw at the San Paolo which was followed by an identical result in Florence, but the match was all uphill with the Napoli the lead from the beginning of the match and the Viola rimontante only in the final of the 90 '. The reinforcements were a nightmare: Napoli go in the lead after a few seconds and then only with a two goal was able to close the game.
The two goals are came as a miracle, and we got to the final against Udinese surprise that eliminated the inter. The final was just as hard and the cloth was the same: Friuli ahead after a few minutes and Viola to equalize at the end. If I remember correctly were two penalties in extra time to Montolivo of the score was 3-1.
The city is crazy for a title that seemed the only object to the scope of the team.
But it was not ...
Meanwhile in the Champions League has come a long way. The classification in the group came as second behind Arsenal Adebayor's (it was a moment of great form in autumn 2008) and taking behind Rangers and PSV. Not a great round, I thought at the time of the draw, but the next round has not been without difficulties given just two points from the first three games (home draw with PSV, draw a resounding defeat in London and Scotland). The three parties have brought back instead of three sensational victories and second place in the net. Then, one after the other, we have eliminated Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool, without losing a single game (if I remember correctly outside always wins against the results of victory or home of equal size) to win the final against Bayern Monaco. The Bavarians are in the game a real squad that arises in the field with a 442 with external dangerous. Startled by this I changed the form proposing a 442 with external mirror and central push to ban. The result was a bad first half in which the Bayern went ahead after a few minutes (Van Bommel) and held the reins of the game even touching other actions to goals. In the interval I urged the team, I reset the exposure 433 un'acciaccato Donadel draining away and marrying Melo as the median to enter the cool Kuzmanovic Montolivo to support the media offensive to 3 points (on the occasion Santana, Pazzini and Mutu). The game has changed completely and the ball game and the action has passed into our hands up to produce a balanced (Pazzini goal that dribbles the keeper and score with the door unguarded) and tap the end of regulation time, the goal of victory. However, that victory coming in extra time with a stunning goal by Santana that the limit and then dribble back to backs, soft around the ball to the far post. What a goal!
At intervals the two bowl rides the "wheels of the championship." The title race is full, for all claimants, by continuous victories, both external and internal, with no regard for anyone. FM in this sense is very cruel: you do not win if you lose points on the fields of small for the championships end at very high levels of points. Maybe not very realistic for the Italian league but so much so .... For this fundamental
were direct clashes, and in this way to Rome with the Giallorossi, won after two difficult games well matched in Bologna and Torino (shell side), has re-launched to the top. After that match we were back to -3 and always before at Juve for a few points. Then Juve won in Rome, and then we hit the top, although cohabitation, for the first time. At that time we touched (do not remember if he continued the strip) to become the ninth consecutive victory in the first lonely when Rome drew the derby. Any other day and Juve has once again become the enemy more directly seen the gradual erosion of the yellow and red. Decisive league match in Florence at the third last of the season: After a battle turned on requires us to 2-0, we jump to +6 and the games seem to be made but the timing was not favorable: Lazio (Rome) for us and Inter, Chievo and Reggina for Juve.
I deployed as usual, without underestimating the biancocelesti, but the fact is that in Rome I remedied three sensational children's meals in the anticipated evening on Saturday (early due to the final of the Champions League that I played the following Wednesday). But the unexpected gift arrived Olimpico in Turin where Juventus will be stopped the next day cover 1-1 by giving us an incredible Chievo Schudetto!
course at the end of the season I was appointed Coach of the Year .... I also want to see, shit!
After a season so I'm undecided whether to continue a gentle pace, giving priority to other games, or retire permanently after one season. From PHENOMENON!
