Filipe Ribeiro, genius at play.

[Filipower]

And heeere we go. You just know those two bastards are going to score, yet there's nothing you can do about it.

 

[Filipower]

So, here's how things are looking up before the second leg against Porto:

League is looking like this at the moment:

Which means:

We'll be strapping this on the sleeves for next year

This is what happened and is going to after the first leg against Porto:

Tough, tough end of the season. The loss against Sampdoria was almost an inevitable one, perhaps I can turn it around at home but I would happily trade that for the Serie A and Europa double!

 

[Filipower]

Come ooooon

Del Piero. I have no more words for this man.

 

[Filipower]

This is just so frustrating man, whenever I play big clubs it's the same story, it's like they're goddamned supermen, jesus christ, take a look at this ****:


I'm ******* taking the Serie A anyway, so **** them.

 

[Filipower]

I'M IN THE FINAL!

MATRIGOOOOL



Oh man, what a joy, when I started the save I had the idea of, first and foremost, getting Juve a rightly earned Serie A title, and now I'm on the verge of a double (treble if I pull a comeback against Samp!)

 

[Filipower]

Not too downhearted by this, but it's still a knock out. Players were utterly tired though, too many games in quick succession with too many injuries and suspensions to really have a solid rotation. Good effort lads.


It all comes down to this moment, then; Cagliari first, for the second to last round of the Serie A with 3 points advantage over 2nd place Inter, followed by the Europa League Final against City.

 

[Filipower]

This is it!

Man City qualified first in their group ahead of Loko Moskow, Olimpiakos and HJK; knocked out CSKA Moskow, Stuttgart, Zenit(they don't like City in Russia!) and finally Lille to get to the final!

They're currently 5th in the EPL and have won the League Cup! Star player Yaya Touré won't be making it, coincidently so isn't Juve's Momo Sissoko. Felipe Melo bound to play against his former team.

Let the final begin!

 

[Filipower]

YEEEEEEEESSSSS

THE DOUBLE!


The goal that gave us that last win, the win that gave us the Serie A!

[Filipower]

So, Season Two

I really want to develop the team tactically. I hope that in doing that I won't break the awesome defensive record, but I believe I have the resources have these lads playing some beautiful stuff.

So I'm going for the 4-2-3-1. Seeing as the midfield is being reinforced, I needed a few extra pairs of legs for that. So I brought this man for free (Thank you, Jean-Marc Bosman):

With him, Momo, Marchisio and Pastore, along with the return of Giovinco, I reckon the midfield is covered.


Also, with Quagliarella, Matri and Pepe gone; Del Piero starting to age and Amauri sold(Hoffenheim) I need someone to spearhead the attack.

ENTER HIM!

19 goals in 22 games in the Liga last year for Porto, averaging 7.67. Please work in Italy, please.

 

[Filipower]

I'm finally on vacation, which means...



UPDATES IN A MINUTE GUYS!

 

[Filipower]

So, still talking transfers, I brought in these two gems (Italian, too!):

I adopted a whole new tactic, which I hope proves (even) more solid, by bringing more control of the midfield:

And it's proving to have potential, with Falcao quickly returning the money spent :

And guess who I got in the UCL group? That's right, Real-****in-Madrid.


And here are the fixtures so far, along with the next two (ouch):

So, questions/feedback?

 

[Juventino]

Cool, I love the Falcao signing, but I'm just little turned off by Hamit Altintop. He looks so scary in his profile picture, I wouldn't like to see that in bianconeri.

I was just wondering about your finances. 625.000 euros per month for a 20 year old Santon? I had extreme trouble managing Juve in its second season this game because of outstanding debts, and I could hardly sign anyone at all. I continued making huge losses during the second season and eventually I just quit. I do notice you didn't (or couldn't) sign Matri, Aquilani, Quagliarella or any other loanee from last season.

 

[Filipower]

Your right, but the kid wouldn't come for anything less. But I'm actually spending less this season, particularly because I didn't keep the loanees as you noticed, and the fact that both Amelia and Altintop came for free helped, too.

So yeah, I see how it would be worrying but the finances are not bad, for now at least. Plus we have the new stadium and the CL revenue should help!


Speaking of Altintop and Santon, though, don't dish the Turkish because Davide got injured for like 3 months and Altintop's been doing a great job as an adapted right-back. Seeing as my full-backs get lots of forward time, I thought he'd be good for it instead of Grygera, and so far he hasn't let us down, not even defensively, as you can see from the immaculate sheet (except for Kaká's goal).

 

[Filipower]

Ooooooh that's right, son!

Was down 0-1 at half-time, gave them a bit of the hair dryer. Ended up trashing them 3-1, with Krasic scoring the second with that golden lob

 

[Filipower]

Not bad for a CL game





But this, this was crucial! Falcao is incredible, named 2012 Player of the Year in Serie A (having only played since August!) for a reason

Palermo were 2nd two points behing but had one game in hand, this win definitely puts me 1st!

 

[Filipower]

10 games one conceded. I just cannot be beaten at the moment. My last loss was to Real in Madrid(the game before Siena), and even that didn't harm me because I ended up 1st in the group. (By the way, I got Sevilla

 

[Filipower]

Paoluuucci

 

[Filipower]

Obviously after those 10 games I lost the Cup one on penalties after a 3-3 draw -.-

Aanyway, quick round-up, I beat Sevilla to the quarter finals where I lucked out and got Napoli. Lost at home but had beaten them in the first leg.

And the Serie A is all but clinched for the second year in a row!

So, and despite losing the Cup again; after the Europa League last year and already in the CL semi-finals this year(I got Man City), my european record is Mourinho-ing its way to more success!


Alessandro has put himself in the History books by becoming Juve's all-time top scorer. He's retiring at the end of the season, FM should have the possibility of organizing testimonials
