CARREER UPDATE
I won the Serie A and UEFA Cup with Inter. Serie A was quite a comfortable victory, at the UEFA I had a lucky draw:
Last 16:
Servette 2-1 (away) and 2-1 (home)
QF:
Odd Grenland 1-1 (away, the ref awarded Odd the most ridiculous penalty I've ever seen since playing FIFA 2005! Fortunately Toldo saved it) and 3-1 (home, half time was 0-1, so I had to sweat)
Semis:
Real Madrid 1-0 (home), 2-3 (away, I almost had a heart attack in the last 10 mins, they were coming with full force forward)
Final:
Villarreal 2-1
In the Italian Cup I've crashed out against AS Roma (3-3 home, 1-1 away), but I've played the whole cup with the reserves.
Usually the starting 11 was:
Toldo
---
Oddo
Burdisso
Córdoba
J. Zanetti
---
Van der Meyde
C. Zanetti
Stankovic
Verón
---
Adriano
Martins
Transfers OUT:
sold most of the aging guys, plus some:
Vieri to Bolton
J. Zanetti to Hannover
Toldo to Udinese
Giannichedda back to Lazio
Abbate to Lazio
Coelho to Benfica (both guys were pretty useless)
Guardalben to Parma
Iaquinta to AC Milan (I needed the money, otherwise he was OK)
Transfers IN:
Júlio César (GK, Flamengo)
Lux (GK, River)
De Jong (RB, Ajax)
Ferronetti (LB, Perugia)
Sannibale (CB, Lazio)
Herrón (LDM, substitute for the retired Simeone, Atl. Madrid)
Arellano (LM, Pachuca)
F. Santos (ST, substitute for the retired Edmundo, Fluminense)
I need a striker, an RM and a playmaker. I'm planning to buy Farfán (PSV), Guerrero (Bayern) or Jo (Corinthians) for ST. As playmaker, I'd like to get Robinho (Atl. Madrid), Van der Vaart (Ajax), Diego (Porto), or Tévez (Boca), but the first three turned me down (!), and I'm unable to buy players from Boca or River, as both had only 18 outfield players
For RM I can't get Mascherano for the reason above.
This season the starting 11 looks like this:
Júlio César
---
de Jong
Burdisso
Córdoba
Oddo
---
Van der Meyde
C. Zanetti
Verón
Stankovic
---
Martins
Adriano
So far won the European Supercup (vs Bröndby, 2-0. G.: Eliakwu, Oddo) and lost the Italian Supercup (2-2, lost on pens against Juventus. G.: Burdisso, Adriano)
