van Aalst Takes over Chelsea
View attachment 43425
After Carlo Ancelotti's shock resignation only a month after joining Chelsea were looking for a new manager, unfortunately no one in England wanted the job. So they looked to Australia and found local league manager Nick van Aalst. van Aalst has been quoted saying "This is the happiest day of my life, to go from local league managing in Canberra, to Managing one of the biggest teams, in the biggest leagues in the world is... an amazing feeling.

I will release my transfer targets, my aims for the season and my starting squad in a few hours time for all soccer fans to look at, this will give them an idea of this years champions."

Chelsea fans are angry at such a young, cocky, inexperienced manager, and expect him to fail.

Notes: I'm already one season through this game, so updates for the first season will be regular, 2 months a day, and from there we will see. I do live in Australia so updates might come in at 4:00am in the morning for all you European people, sorry for any inconvenience.
 
Transfer Targets:

I was given 62 million to spend if i can remember correctly (don't know what it was as I'm at second season) and no memory of weekly wages.

Yoann Gourcuff
Sergio Asenjo
Jerome Boateng
Luis Suarez

Tactics:

I will be looking to play a basic 4-2-3-1.

Aims for the Season:
Premier League: Top 2
Champions League: Semi Finals
FA Cup: Semi Finals
League Cup: Low on priority list, couldn't care less
Community Shield: All I'm looking for is a good strong performance, to send a message.

Final Transfers:

IN:
Yoann Gourcuff: 27.5mil from Bordeaux
Luis Suarez: 20mil from Ajax
David Ospina (instead of Asenjo): 15.25mil from OGC Nice
Diego Renan (instead of Boateng): 15mil from Cruzeiro

OUT:
Salomon Kalou to Real Madrid: 5.5mil
Daniel Sturridge to Newcastle: Loan

Pre-Season:​

3-0 vs AA Gent (Gourcuff, Ballack, Anelka)
1-0 vs Falkirk (Lampard)
2-0 vs Ipswich (Sturridge, Tore)
4-0 vs Dundee (Ballack 2, Drogba, Lampard)
5-0 vs Tranmere (Anelka, Malouda, Ballack, Suarez 2)
4-0 vs Oldham (Ballack, Gourcuff, Essien, Suarez)
6-0 vs Cray (Anelka 3, Gourcuff 2, Cole)

Community Shield:
​

A Frank Lampard first half injury time strike sealed the win, very strong performance from the team, definite signal of intentions for the season!

Interview with Nick van Aalst:

A good win today against your biggest premier league rivals Manchester United, how do you think your team performed?

NVA: Very strong performance, very strong, i have already said we would be champions, and we already are, this is a sign of things to come, now if you excuse me, I have to go and make dinner

August:​

vs Sunderland - 2-0 - Michael Ballack, Daniel Sturridge

vs Wolves - 2-0 - Yoann Gourcuff, Michael Essien

vs Hull - 6-1 - Luis Suarez (2), John Terry, Didier Drogba (2), Malouda

Thoughts: Very Strong start to the season, great game against Hull, dominated everything, BUT got caught on the break once which was dissapointing.

Player of the Month: Luis Suarez - Comes in, 3rd game, 2 goals in the first 20 minutes, would have been 3 if he didn't pick up an injury.

---​

September:​

vs Fulham - 2-0 - Yoann Gourcuff (2)

vs Everton - 1-1 - Alex

vs AZ - Champions League - 1-0 - Nicolas Anelka

Then 3 Big Teams in 7 Days:​

1st Game: vs Manchester United - Away - 2-1 - Michael Ballack, Luis Suarez

View attachment 43435

2nd Game: vs Liverpool - League Cup - Away - 2-1 - Reina OG, Luis Suarez

View attachment 43436

3rd Game: vs Arsenal - 1-2 - Away - Michael Ballack

View attachment 43437

vs Standard - Champions League - 0-1

Thoughts: VERY busy month, got 3 wins out of 6, 1 draw, and 2 losses, the loss to Arsenal was understandable after games against Manchester United and Liverpool in the 6 days previous, but the loss to Standard was unacceptable, very disappointed.

Player of the Month: Michael Ballack, two goals and a very strong showing in each mach, didn't have to think about this choice

Community Shield
vs Liverpool
0-1

Good game, conceded early, but never looked like we were going to concede again, we had numerous chances, we were just a bit unlucky, and a bit sloppy with our shooting, we could have scored 3 or 4 but that's football for you.
