Catalan Pride

Loving this story and idea. Will definitely be following. You going to go in for some young Spanish talent like Muniain, Koke and Oliver? or thrust some kids into the spotlight?

Cheers mate. Glad you like the idea.

Of the three players you mentioned, Only Muniain would satisfy my criteria for singing; being North Iberian and Basque, so he'd share the I'm not Spanish, I'm (Insert non-spanish leaning region) mentality.

Koke is a Madrid born and based player so he essentially represents the "enemy" in the eyes of the Catalans.
Oliver was born in Navalmoral de la Mata, roughly halfway between Mardrid and Lisbon but he spend his entire career in Madrid, so he's Spanish, not Catalan - I'd be more open to signing him since he'd have been "brought into the Madrid" setup but he's still not Barcelona.

The Barcelona vs Spain is like a local rivarly playing out on a national scale.

If a Madrid player came through the youth system, so be it. He may not be from here, but he's one of us: He lived with us, trained with us, eat at the same table and drank from the same fountains, ect.

Cheers mate :)


Note: Power went out so I lost my pre-season. The Neymar injury is gone so I'll update the previous posts where I overtake them in the save.

We have to use the squad to get the cup since we don't have our 3
world class forwards to hang our dream upon. Now is a great moment
to tell the squad, they're just as important. If we can win without them...
imagine what we'll be capable of with them!

Both came on as late 2nd half substitutes. Not much to comment on bu it's always great to see new
players break into the first team. They must now maintain this level of performance and training.
The front 3's injuries allowed these two youngsters the room to come into the squad but it's now
up to them to stay here.

Bitterly disappointed but Bilbao deserved the cup in the end. We couldn't make our home advantage count and the away goal killed us.

Suarez and Messi were back in time for the League kick off and we had a score to settle with
Bilbao. Our 3rd successive game so I knew how to counter their attacking threat this time round.

Our front 3 of Neymar, Messi and Suarez resumed their trio and almost got all three names on the score sheet. A missed Penalty from our Captain meant we ended with a 2 goal win.
