Dinamo Zagreb Money Making Youth Challenge

Well, that's the way with clubs from Balkan. We may occasionally get into knockouts phases of euro competitions but then we just crash and burn. Yeah, we are that bad... :D
Do you have any plans, who are you looking to sale next summer? Or you'll just continue strengthening team and try to get past groups in Champions League?

March Results

I didnt realise the Croatian Cup Qtr Final was over two legs, but it didnt matter as we put 6 past Osijek, it was 2-1 at half time but after a few subs in the second half we really took it to another level and thumped 4 more past them.
We then beat Zadar thanks to two very early goals and despite them scoring one back managed to hold on before a 1-1 bore draw against Split. We ended the month thrashing Osijek again this time in the league 5-1, I dont know whats happened to them back when i was Dinamo a few years back they were my main rivals for the Title every season!

So we dominated the game but couldnt find a goal and it went to extra time luckily for us they self imploded giving up a couple of silly yellow cards before both players then got sent off in extra time, we then had Portuguese Midfielder Machado to thanks for a tap in finisher in the 116th minute.

Top Goalscorer - Steven Fletcher - a brilliant debut season with 23 goals in 35 starts the main concern is he played twenty odd games less than most of my first teamers all due to injury

View attachment 226536

Best Player - Josip Radosevic - As a mainly defensive minded midfielder i was a little shocked that he managed to net 12 goals and most of them were thumping wonderstrikes from outside the box and he set up 12 goals too.

View attachment 226535

Best Young Player- Marko Pjaca - I really dont know how much longer i will be able to keep a hold of this beast of a winger, hes netted 18 goals and has 21 assists meaning in hist 43 starts he had a hand in 39 of our goals.

Im surprised Vukojevic got in ahead of Kranevitter but im more than happy that we had 6 players get into double figures with goals scored this season.

Youngster Pjaca has reached the halfway stage of getting the most Goals and appearances for us in the league with his recent good form, i would love for him to stick around long enough to break both records.

July 2017 - Pre-Season

I bring in two amazing central midfielders on free transfers in the shape of Leroy Fer and Gregory Sertic, Fer joins from QPR and Sertic who is a Croatian International from Bordeaux.

View attachment 226506View attachment 226505

Thanks to bringing in these two midfielders we were able to sell DMC Kranevitter to AC Milan for a brilliant £16.25Million! Not only that 30% of his next transfer fee will go to us, not profit either just pure transfer fee!

Not a bit of bad work from free to £16.25Million in a Year

Former Captain Ademi leaves for Bordeaux at around £5.25Million, i get a player in Sertic from Bordeaux for free as his replacement lol!I will also get 50% of his next transfer fee!!!!

19 year old center back Filip Benkovic joins Ajax for £8Million, this was the only deal i was kind of sad about, he didnt want a new contract so i had to get rid.

His replacement is 18 year old centre back Gonzalo Aguirre acquired for just £3.3Million from River

Champions League 2nd Qualifying Rnd

1st Leg V Vadur - Away

View attachment 226438

My Spanish contingent in fine form after they took the lead early on thanks to a penalty we then equalized from a penalty ourselves on 40 minutes scored by Xavi before youngster Olmo netted what i was hoping was the winner but they then got another penalty and it ended 2-2.

2nd Leg V Vadur - Home

View attachment 226437

A much better display at home as we go 2-0 up pretty early on and they never get into the game, they then have a player sent off with around 20 minutes to go and Xavi nets the 3rd.

Champions League 3rd Qualifying Rnd

1st Leg V Tel Aviv - Home

View attachment 226432

A good display with young Spanish Striker Olmo netting two early goals and we are 4-0 up just after the break but did let it all slip a little late on as they scored two important away goals late on one from our former player Rukavina.

2nd Leg V Tel Aviv - Away

View attachment 226431

Our attacking trio threw everything at them but just could find the back of the net and it took are two central midfielders Sertic and Xavi to show them how its done. Xavi has been amazing in the deadball situation having netted from 3 free kicks already this season.

We face BATE in the Playoffs

On a side note Steven Fletcher has picked up yet another injury

View attachment 226429

So with him out i decided to bring in Croatian International Jelavic on a free transfer, I think Olmo will be my main striker whilst Fletcher is missing yet again but its nice to have another option.
