Bayern v Dortmund - An Online Story of German Giants

[adamm8]

Apologies that the Utd vs City story cannot continue but due to FM crashing it resulted in the save being corrupted.

We shall both be taking control of 2 new teams, and 2 ensure this doesn't happen again there will be regular saves (every 2 in game weeks) in 3 rolling files therefore if it happens again, we won't lose much.

---

2 GERMAN GIANTS WILL GO HEAD TO HEAD AGAIN FOR GLORY...

View attachment 395525

Bayern Munich shall be controlled by Tolga Duzgun (Duzzy) and Borussia Dortmund will be controlled by Adam Moore (adamm8). They shall both be fighting it our for glory to decide which team in Germany is the best!

Of course it will also have added interest due to the history of Bayern buying Dortmund players, including Lewandowski who will be joining them at the end of the first season... Moore best get the best he can out of him while he can!

View attachment 395521

This will be an online story where you will get to see both of ours progress throughout the seasons and also will have special moments of course when the 2 sides clash!

----------------------------------------

When the season begins we will be doing monthly updates, but we shall of course first do an update regarding how our pre-season goes and regarding transfers!​

Pre Season 2013

Season Expectations

Due to Bayern and Dortmund being the 2 teams that have won the league for the past 4 seasons, it will of course be hard for Dortmund to win it again, but we shall definitely be aiming for it which is why our aim is challenging for the title!

Friendlies

View attachment 395516

Left these to be done by my assistant manager and he still did very well as we won all the games strongly as I expected!

Transfers

View attachment 395514

First coming into the side I noticed we did not have any quality in the full back positions really, especially as Piszczek being our for 5 months(ish) so that was my main aim.

View attachment 395511 View attachment 395510 View attachment 395509

Eder Alvarez Balanta | Martin Montoya | Richairo Zivkovic

Even though he is a CB Balanta has been brought in to provide back up in the LB position but will still also be used as a LB.

Montoya brought in as my first choice RB until Piszczek returns then the 2 of them will fight it out for first choice!

Zivkovic brought in as a future player/cup player and will most likely go out on loan or hardly feature for us much at the moment!

Transfer Rumours

Dortmund are reportedly still in the market looking for a Striker to provide good enough back up for if Lewandowski gets injured as the squad is short in cover for this position.
​

Pre-season
So Bayern it is. Bayern already had a great team when I came in and didn't need transfers and therefore I thought more about my transfers and kept calm this window.

Friendlies

Bayern Munchen 2 - 0 Shakhtar
Bayern Munchen 1 - 0 HSV
Saitama 1 - 1 Bayern Munchen
Bayern Munchen 2 - 2 Zenit
Grobaspach 0 - 0 Bayern Munchen
Bayern Munchen 2 - 1 Stoke

As you can see the friendlies didn't go perfect but at least we didn't lose a game. There was some tactic testing during the friendlies so it's always expected to get mixed results.

Transfers

View attachment 395513

The transfer market wasn't really busy for me as I said it wouldn't be. I bought Timo Werner to add to the home grown players but sent him back on loan to get him some games. I made a big sale in selling Robben to his former club Chelsea for 24.5 Million. I already have Muller and Gotze who can play Right Wing and Robben was getting old and required too much in wage salary.

Player Ratings

View attachment 395476

Can clearly see that Muller had an absolute shocker and clearly it was a very good idea to substitute him as the equaliser was scored by substitute Thiago!

Dortmund will feel hard done by though as they believe Thiago fouled Schmelzer before scoring and Ribery should have been sent off!

The joys of football!​

 

[AldoKemp-1]

Great Update.

 

[rocco russo]

Great update however you are lucky the shoot out did not go any longer i had one i won 22-21

 

[AlexYNWA]

I've had 42-41 - I'll be following this story too, good luck, hopefully no corruptions this time!

 

[adamm8]

Yep very glad it didn't... wouldn't have liked to have done the update that long! haha

Yeah we have a 3 file rolling save every 2 in game weeks so should be good even if it does corrupt

Been a bit of talk about Bayern trying to sign a Dortmund player as well... maybe

August

So it wasn't exactly a perfect month as you will see...

Rosenheim 2 - 6 Dortmund
German Cup 1st Round

View attachment 395139

Strong win as I expected and predicted, but slightly disappointed we managed to concede 2 as well.

-----

Dortmund 3 - 2 Stuttgart
First Division

View attachment 395138

So we led 3-0 and nearly threw it away which of course I am quite annoyed about but still glad we were able to hold on for the win.

-----

HSV 2 - 1 Dortmund
First Division

View attachment 395136

Quite annoyed with this result as we were definitely the side who deserved to win but poor shooting from us and HSV taking their chances meant we lost... not good.

-----

Dortmund 4 - 0 Braunschweig
First Division

View attachment 395135

Excellent strong win which we clearly deserved as we were the much better side, never doubted that we would win though.

-----

Gladbach 1 - 0 Dortmund
First Division

View attachment 395134

Quite annoyed with this as I think we definitely did enough to deserve at least a draw and quite disappointed we conceded a last minute goal.

-----

League

View attachment 395133

As you can see we currently sit in 8th which is obviously quite disappointing, especially with out rivals sitting in 1st, but its only 4 games and there is a long way to go so not too worried!

Champions League Draw

View attachment 395132

Looks like we have quite a tough group ahead of us... Juventus of course will be the main threat and Lyon and Sociedad certainly won't be push overs... going to have to play well to progress through this group!

Best Player of August

View attachment 395131

Robert Lewandowski

He has had a great month for us with 5 goals in 5 games and I am quite sad we won't have him next season... definitely making the best of having him while I can though!

Transfer

With us only really Lewandowski I thought it would be good to bring in a decent back up striker...

View attachment 395130

Luciano Vietto

At 5 million he is a player who has great potential and I am sure he will be a good enough back up for us.​

Another close game where a draw was probably the right outcome.

-----

Hertha BSC 1 - 3 Dortmund
First Divsion

View attachment 395097

A dominant display where we got a very good win and the result was probably as it should be.

With a very good hat trick from Reus it sparked rumours that Bayern would come in for the young German and activate his release clause...

View attachment 395096

So he is instantly offered a new contract which he accepts, keeping him at the club until 2018 and removing his release clause!

Furth 2 - 5 Dortmund

Quite disappointed we managed to concede 2 but glad we still got a very strong win to progress to the next round.

Dortmund 1 - 1 Augsburg

Quite disappointed with this result as we were the better side and should have won. Also doesn't help it was a last minute equaliser scored by the guy who joins us next summer... doing well getting into my good books already.... NOT!

Werder Bremen 1 - 3 Dortmund

Absolutely dominated Schalke to get an incredibly good win against probably the 3rd best side in the league.

We were the better side and didn't deserve to lose, only reason they won was they took advantage of their chances.

FC Bayern 2 - 1 Dortmund

Took a last minute goal for us to lose which I am disappointed with as I think we should have at least got a draw.

Dortmund 3 - 1 Freiburg

Another very good win in a game we dominated again, think we should have scored more than 3 though!

Lyon 1 - 1 Dortmund

Again we were the better side and deserved the win but this time we were held to a draw due to a late goal.

Yet again we lose a game we didn't deserve too and got punished by a team who took advantage of their chances.

Nurnberg 1 - 4 Dortmund

Incredible game with 3 penalties for us! Reus converted all 3 and got another to win the game all on his own with all 4 goals!

We are now in 2nd place, 5 points behind Bayern so we have a lot to do to catch up with them. Also good to see Reus is performing very well in the league being top joint goalscorer, assist maker and 2nd highest amount of Man of the Match awards!

Champions Cup

View attachment 392836

We can now no longer qualify for the knockout stages and we can't even qualify for Europa now. Very disappointed with our performances in this cup but suppose we can now focus on the League and German Cup.

Completely dominated this game and think we should have easily won by more than 1-0, but still, at least a win.

Dortmund 1 - 2 Hannover
First Division

Very disappointed with this as with our performance we should have recorded a comfortable victory but instead we lost to a late goal. ****.

So we couldn't take advantage of Bayern not playing with 2 disappointing results (draw and loss) and we should be top, but now we sit 1 point behind and they also have 2 games in hand... going to have to hope they mess it up!

Champions Cup

View attachment 392738

So disappointed with our performance in this as at the beginning I think we should have got at least 2nd, but instead we finish 4th, don't even get Europa, and were one of the worst performers in the Champions Cup this season.

Best Player of December

Marco Reus

No one was standout this month so given to Reus to to him being consistently average in 3 games and also getting 2 goals.

So it is now January and the transfer window is open!

2 players coming in have already been tied up and 1 player is already set to leave! You shall find out who later!​

January Transfer Window

Few signings made, current and future!

Current

View attachment 390550

So leaving us were Sokratis and Durm as they were never getting to play, especially now with the new signings.

Zivkovic allowed out on loan to get the first team experience he needs!

So coming in was...

View attachment 390549 View attachment 390548

Eliaquim Mangala | Alberto Moreno

Mangala comes in to be first choice with Hummels, and Moreno has come in to be my first choice LB over Schmelzer!

Future

View attachment 390547

So of course Lewandowski will be leaving us in the summer for Bayern.

View attachment 390546 View attachment 390545 View attachment 390544

Ji Dong-Won | Khaled Narey | Gaston Gil Romero

Jo Dong-Won and Narey were organised by the board, not much confidence in either of them so probably wont feature much for me. Romero is for the future and will most likely be loaned at for a couple of seasons.​

Dortmund 4 - 1 HSV

View attachment 390536

Incredible performance from us and especially Lewandowski as he gets 4! Wish we had got the clean sheet as well but oh well!

Due to Bayern fudging it against Schalke we now sit top of the table 2 points clear! But they do have 2 games in hand so... lets hope they mess them up!
