Juninho: The Story of a Legend

[robbieboro82]

im sure i will haha Kerim Rekik Sergi Samper Adam Webster Dan Butler Jed Wallace & Ashley Harris the last four all play for my beloved Portsmouth are all very good young talents

I'll take a look at them! I'm addicted to Regens tho, haha

 

[robbieboro82]

eventhough your a league above Oldham that is still a great result as i see championship teams lose a lot in 1st round to lower league teams

That is a good point which will actually become very apparent in the next round as you will find out, haha

MIDDLESBROUGH …1… V …1… LEEDS UNITED​

Match Report

A slightly drizzly, and chilly summer night at the Riverside and arather lower than expected crowd of just over 23,000 watched Juninho’s homecoming in his first competitive league game as manager. He opted for a fairly pacey line-up with some experience and Youth mixed together, although there was only room for one of the pre-season Youth signings, Ruud van derReijken, who has shone in the few games he has played, he got the nod over Justin Hoyte. Woodgate and Williams at Centre Back, with Grant Leadbitter adding some extra steel to the central element of the team. The Attacking positions were all pacey and creative players and was hoped to provide the ammunition for Target Man Lukas Jutkiewicz.
---
The game began with both teams struggling to get a grip of the conditions, the rain causing a number of players to slip and Rhys Williams to slide right through a Leeds player, he was lucky not to be booked.
Just 7 minutes in and a pin point through ball put Jutkiewicz one-on-one with the Keeper, who he sidestepped and then brushed the ball under him into the net, the stadium erupted as the first goal of the season was taken superbly.
---
With the fans now expecting the flood gates to open they began to crankthe noise up, motivating the Boro players who began to lay siege to the Leeds goal, only the superb form of Paddy Kenney keeping the score respectable. Eventually the game became more of a Midfield struggle as Leeds began to get to grips with the pitch, a few paltry efforts on goal all they had to show until the first half petered out.
Boro again started the brightest in the second half, with the weather easing off, they began playing some lovely tiki-taka football and exploiting the flanks with some wonderful runs, George Friend particularly impressive cutting in from the left on several occasions.
---​

Midway through the second half McDonald and Carayol were brought on to inject some pace and energy into a Boro team who looked to be tiring, and almost immediately found themselves picking the ball out of the back of the net. Leeds broke down the left and Becchio put in a deep cross to the far post for Patrick Kisnorbo to rise above everyone and head past the stranded Jason Steele. It appeared to be too much for the Boro players, who until this point had been in total control and like the first half, the second half began to slowly die off, the fans accepting that there probably would be no further goals, neither team mustering any efforts on goal.
So overall, a bit disappointing to have had so much possession and many shots and not come away with a win and losing a goal to a breakaway when the team lost concentration for a few minutes. It’s only the beginning though, plenty more games to go yet.

MoM: Patrick Kisnorbo (Leeds)

Thanks for the comment! Got a big update coming soon and will see how the Season is shaping up! Yeah, Juninho is a legend, although in real life, I think he probably wouldn't be the best choice, but this is the fun of writing a story!

 

[robbieboro82]

*Hope anyone following this ‘FM13 JUNINHO STORY’ is enjoying the read, as much as I am in writing it, please feel free to comment, positive or negative, suggestions on what you would like to see, ways I could improve the story etc. I’m getting the general idea and getting to grips with writing this now and have a basic template I am going to stick to, with a few extra surprises along the way. Just for followers information, this is not a Middlesbrough save, they are just the team my ‘fictional’ Manager ‘Juninho’ has taken over first, if things go sour, I could find myself back in a lower Brazilian League, or if it goes well, I could be at Barcelona or Madrid, we will just see, there is no real aim of the game, except to make Juninho a Legend of a manager. As I say, I’ve got to grips with the writing now and attaching pictures, so hopefully I can start getting a bit more creative, but I’m ahead of myself in the ‘Game’ compared to my story, so the next update will be a basic overview of results from August until the World Player of the Year is announced on January 1st​, so I can catch up with myself, then the story will return to normal, being much more in depth and updated monthly, with extra goodies and surprises inbetween*
​

Thanks for reading!!

August to Febuary Overview
​

Great first 6 months of the season has Boro sitting top, 3 points clear with a game in hand. It’s not done and dusted by all means, as there is still plenty of Football to be played, but New Boro Boss Juninho is sure to be pleased with the season so far. The highlight by far, was a 2-1 win over Arsenal in the FA Cup 3rd​Round, thanks to a last minute goal from Adam Reach, the low point being the defeat to Notts County in the League Cup.​

Juninho picked up Manager of the month in October and was close to winning it again in January. Jonathan Woodgate has picked up Player of the month twice, September and December and Josh McEachran, on loan from Chelsea won Young Player of the Month for October.​

There have been some promising performances from the Youth Signings, especially from young Ruud van der Reijken who has cemented the Right Wing Back Position as his own. Noah Robinson has made 21 appearances and despite a lack of discipline, looks like he could be Boro’s first choice Defensive Midfielder for many years to come. Jean-Marc Giroud has made 10 appearances and has scored 2 senior goals already. Other notable performances to mention are from Mark Sneijder and Henri Castillion.​

Stephen McManus was released to further reduce the wage bill.
Albert Riera and Ruud van der Reijken Return after injury.

YOUTH LEAGUE

Doing well in Group 3

Boro Fans will hope that the Board will make Juninho an offer to extend his stay after a fantastic season so far. Boro are sitting in the Number one spot going into March and are also still in the FA Cup, with a tie against Aston Villa upcoming.
Matchday Attendance is still low, but hopefully will improve once the team is promoted or the ticket offers that Steve Gibson is planning come into effect.

Next month, the Clubs Yearly Finances will be revealed

[robbieboro82]

Well done, doing great.

Yeah it's going pretty smoothly, apart from the fact I can't play at the min as I can't log on to steam, may have to create a new account, hope I don't have to start the career again!!

 

[robbieboro82]

*Thankfully I have managed to salvage my Juninho Story, so can continue to update!!
Had a huge problem with Steam Guard and lost access to my Email which in turn led me to be locked out of Playing FM13, thankfully I created a new Steam Account and unfortunately had to purchase the game again, but hey, it's worth it!!! So onwards and upwards, the March Update will be out later today, thanks for reading ~ robbie*​
