November 2017

What a display against CSKA back at our place as we never look like losing despite them going ahead first we had already had a shed load of chances and it didnt take long to equalize and then Fletcher netted twice more all 4 goals came in the space of 13 first half minutes.

We always perform much better at home in Europe and it showed as we pushed Dortmund to the limit in our 3-2 loss to them but they just had the better quality in the right areas

November Results

View attachment 226069

So we started the month with a Cup match against a little known side and my reserves were more than a match for them with Winger Situm netting a Hattrick.
In the league we came from 3-1 down against Hajduk to inflict their first league defeat of the season on them in a 4-3 win in the aptly named Eternal Derby.
We then threw away that good performance immediately in the next match by drawing with lowly Zadar, We then just about snuck past Osijek thanks to a Brekalo goal.

View attachment 226066

So Hajduk are still a massive 7 points ahead of us as they have won a pretty incredible 15 out of their 16 league games this season, the good thing about the small league though means we face them 3 more times in the league before the end of the season so our fate is still in our own hands.

Best Player - Marko Pjaca - 10 Goals and 10 Assists in 24 Starts

Sicknote is an apt name for him. Never seen so many niggling injuries.
 
What about your U21 team Dinamo 2, did they win promotion to second league?

No at the moment they are stuck in the 3rd division i have added the second division though as i want to see if i can get them promoted with a few youth players.

December 2017

So first off we face AC Milan away from home and despite them having the better chances we managed to come from behind to grab a decent equalizer through Brekalo and another precious point but it wasnt enough to get through to the Knockout stages.

View attachment 225949

So we ended up with an impressive 7 points after 2 wins and a draw over 6 group matches and will go into the Europa League knockout stages.

View attachment 225948

Another tough draw against Ajax this time in the Europa League

View attachment 225947

We ended the year with a huge result against Hajduk as we came from behind twice to end up beating them 4-2 thanks to Halilovic being in top form he definitely loves playing a more central role.

December Results

View attachment 225944

So we just about snuck past in a couple of our league games this month beating Zagreb and Slaven Belupo by a single goal but drew 0-0 with lowly Cibilia in another shock result.

View attachment 225943

So were still 6 points behind Hajduk despite being undefeated in 20 league games whilst Hajduk have lost to us twice but won rather impressively their other 18 league games this season.

View attachment 225847

Emanuel Mammana - DC - £7.7Million

View attachment 225846

Our fourth player signed from River after Balanta, Aguirre and Kranevitter and hopefully the best of the bunch.

Sandro Pavjot - DC - £100k

View attachment 225845

We make another £450k from Pavicic's Transfer Deal

View attachment 225844

20 year old Nikola Vlasic joins from Hajduk for £5Million, hes definitely a future star one of the current best players in the league even now, Croatian and it was nice to take one of my rivals best players, he can play in the AML role or upfront.

Some pitiful offers for Balanta whos valued at £5.25Million

View attachment 225843

With my couple of centre back additions i allow Hegazi to join Olympiakos for £2.8Million

View attachment 225842

With Vlasic's arrival Jelavic is allowed to leave to for £700k

View attachment 225841

And Finally a huge outgoing as we sell Marko Pjaca for just £13.25Million, he had 18 months left on his contract and didnt want to sign a new one despite all we had done for him, not a bad fee considering he joined for £750k the year i took charge. We will also get 20% of his next transfer fee.

View attachment 225839

So for just this season alone we are £33.75Million better off after selling some big players but it shows with us currently second in the league.

So we started off a lot better domestically than we did Europe after the Winter Break beating Lokomotiva easily in the 1st leg of the Croatian Cup Quarter Finals whilst in the league we secured a 2-0 win over Rijeka and a 6-0 romp over Zadar but suffered yet another draw this time against Lokomotiva who we had just beaten days before in the Cup.

4 points behind now as Hajduk start to slip too with a couple of recent draws, were still undefeated after 23 games but too many draws see us in 2nd place.

Best Player - Vlasic - Good start to life with us with 2 goals and 2 Assists in 2 Starts

Gutted you had to sell arguably your best player in pjaca but your defence is looking mean!

Thanks man, yeah problem im going to have i think is some of the bigger players refusing new deals, Pjaca had only just signed a new deal but his agent wanted another double your money deal after a good performance!
