Klippybo Taking On the Champions League Challenge

[White army]

gd luck i have been sacked by them twice so i hope u manage to get somewhere with them

 

[Klippybo]

APRIL

It cant happen can it? There is a slight possibility that we can sneak into the Champions League next season, a good chance of being in the Europa League and also a chance of just being in domestic footy next year. We had a great month winning every game bar one which included a win over our fierce rivals Inter

----------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 1-0 Udinese
Pabon

If we are to sneak a Europa League spot for next year we had to win this and we did. We also had a goal disallowed as we dominated throughout.

-------------------------------------------------------

Genoa 1-3 AC Milan
Vydra 2, Pabon

We were 2up after 5min and only had 3 shots on target by the end of the game. 4 wins out of 4 as we move on up the table and into the top half!

------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 4-2 Lazio
Federici (og), Ganz, Vico, Meda

WOOOO!!!! We fell behind twice here but somehow battled back to get the points. Ganz came off the bench to make the difference surprisingly as he aint that good!

--------------------------------------------------------

Chievo 1-1 AC Milan
Pabon

We fell behind and then had a man sent-off but Pabon equalised in stoppage time!

--------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 2-1 Inter Milan
Vico, Vydra

What a big win this is! Koljonen had an early goal disallowed but Vico netted just before half-time. Meda then got sent-off and they levelled but Vydra popped up with the winner in the last minute.

Imagine if you get Milan to 5th...

 

[Sam91]

Top stuff as always mate good luck in Italy!!

 

[Klippybo]

MAY - END OF SEASON

So close!!!! We managed to finish 5th in the league and therefor have Europa League football for next season - Inter missed out and sacked their manager!

My record with AC Milan is 9 wins and 1 draw from 10 games which was pretty amazing and has got us off to a great start. I have also managed to arrange some deals for the summer. Bargains galore!!!! lol

In the Champions League Porto knocked out Monaco and Juventus but lost narrowly to Real Madrid who went on to lose the final to Arsenal.

---------------------------------------------------

Parma 1-3 AC Milan
Saranov (og), Vico, Vydra

Parma are battling against relegation so I expected victory here. My old backup keeper at Dortmund put us ahead which was nice of him!

--------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 3-0 Atalanta
Koljonen, Assaidi, Meda

Atalanta are doomed so once again I expected victory. We were 0-0 until the 64th minute and then the floodgates opened. Unfortunately Cesena won so that means no Champions League footy for us next season.

--------------------------------------------------------

Palermo 1-2 AC Milan
Koljonen, Martial

We were behind with 20min left and then we rallied to win the match. In the end even if we lost we would have finished 5th. Europa League football next season it is then!

great news with you at milan......hope you can win the europa league in style next year!

Could you show me Where Cardiff are and their squad please.

PRE-SEASON AND AUGUST

I would like to declare this now - we will win the Champions League next season - why? Because I have managed to sign a player with stats AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN AITOR HERRERA!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately he wont join until next season so you will have to wait lol.

First to the departures. I raked in £47.5m which was a decent amount considering the dross I had to sell! Anthony Martial was sold to Lille for £7.25m, Hoesen, Abate, Matuidi and Minotti all left for Fiorentina for just over £13m while Nocerino and Inler went to Koln for £1.5m. Spezia signed Vico and Volpini for £6m, Cagliari got Saporetti for £3.4m while Vydra went to Chievo for £5m. Pabon went to Hull for £1.5m and Aissadi went to Twente for the same fee. Others were sold for smaller fees.

Now to the incomings and I spent £44.5m - a profit!!!!!! For big fees came these guys......

Papa Ndiaye from Lens for £13m

Lucas Diego from Red Star for £11.5m

I got the following for small fees.............

While on free transfers I got Mario Balotelli and several regens.....................
View attachment 303779View attachment 303782View attachment 303781View attachment 303780

Many changes with my first XI probably going to be - Consigli, Deri, Ndiaye, Capuano, Miladin, Meda, Said, Markovic, Strnad, Babu and Medero although that may change! Probably wont win the title but as long as we finish top four so my new world class player has the appropriate stage to shine on next season!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------

Udinese 2-3 AC Milan
Ndiaye, Saidi (og), Medero

A great start to the season as we surged into a 3 goal lead and had one disallowed before we let things slip.

--------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 7-4 Ascoli
Babu 3(1pen), Said, Meda, Medero, Senol Ahmet Sami

We were 4-1up after 13min here and blew them away! I am a bit concerned that we conceded 4 to this lot however.

----------------------------------------------------------

SCOTLAND

Friendly

Portugal 2-2 Scotland
Robinson, Fletcher

We dominated, missed a penalty and had 2 goals disallowed!!!!​

 

[helloiamanewlow]

That player you've signed must be ridiculous! better than Aitor!

I see that you've stopped signing real players (I have too), its difficult choosing whether to sign the regens to your team or not knowing they may just be a world class player by the time you move!.

 

[Klippybo]

SEPTEMBER

A good month as we remain unbeaten despite having some tough games. The draw against Juventus was particularly pleasing. My new young players seem to have settled well and hopefully a season of first team football will have them ready for a tilt at the Champions League.

Having said that the player I have agreed to sign is good enough to win it on his own!

While perusing my old club Porto I noticed they sold Mondragon and Moretti to Man Utd for £18m and £32m respectively - PILLOCKS!!!!!

----------------------------------------------------

Juventus 1-1 AC Milan
Balotelli

I was heading for my first defeat as Milan manager until Balotelli came off the bench to level late on which was the least that we deserved.

-----------------------------------------------------

Europa League Group E
AC Milan 4-1 Lille
Meda, Miladin, Barani, Senol Ahmet Sani

A decent way to kick off our European campaign!

-------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 2-1 Chievo
Strnad, Capuano

------------------------------------------------------

Lazio 1-2 AC Milan
Medero, Senol Ahmet Sami

A good result - we took the lead early in the 2nd half but they quickly equalised however S.A. Sami scored from a long range free-kick to win it!

-------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 3-1 Sampdoria
Ndiaye, Babu, Capuano

OCTOBER

Another good month as I still await my first defeat as Milan manager although we did draw to Zelejnicar somehow. Otherwise my young players have been excellent and I just realised that the £11m I spent on Diego was a waste as he is only backup! lol

---------------------------------------------------

Europa League Group E
Werder Bremen 1-2 AC Milan
Ndiaye, Medero

I would have been happy with a draw so to win was great!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 3-1 Napoli
Strnad, Meda 2

We had 2 goals disallowed before we even took the lead - great win!

---------------------------------------------------------

Europa League Group E
Zeljeznicar 3-3 AC Milan
Ndiaye, Koljonen, Barani

A tad embarrassing but I did play a backup side.

---------------------------------------------------------

Cagliari 2-3 AC Milan
Medero 2, Strnad

----------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 2-0 Sassuolo
Medero, Markovic

We had about 30 shots off target here so we should have won by a lot more!!!

[iArsenal]

Great results, you almost make it look to easy. You definitely need to take over a challenging team.

 

[RicoFalcone]

What tactics are you using buddy??

 

[Klippybo]

NOVEMBER

Still unbeaten! We had plenty of close games this month - scoring wasnt a problem but conceding certainly was! We qualified for the next stage of the Europa League and the other news was that my LB Zoran Miladin wants a new contract but I cant afford the £50k a week he wants so he is transfer listed. Diego may yet end up being my LB after all!

----------------------------------------------------

Siena 2-3 AC Milan
Said 2(1pen), Medero

We surged into a 3 goal lead here and then let things slip which was annoying.

-----------------------------------------------------

UEFA Europa League Group E
AC Milan 4-1 Zeljeznicar
Koljonen 3, Barani

Thats us qualified unsurprisingly.

-----------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 2-0 Spezia
Meda (pen), Strnad

-----------------------------------------------------

Palermo 2-2 AC Milan
Said, Babu

Despite being 2 up in the first 10min we couldnt hold on to the 3pts which is unacceptable.

great work...i was away for a few days but bk now so will get bk to this challenge

 

[Klippybo]

DECEMBER

A very good month here although it did see me suffer my first defeat as Milan manager however that was dampened by the fact that we thumped Inter in the derby.

We progressed in Europe and will play Hannover in the next round and internationally my Scottish side will play Turkey, Czech. Republic and Russia in the Euros.

Finally Miladin will leave in January and join Real Madrid for £39m - a decent fee for a left back - I have already agreed to sign one player who I have had at 2 previous clubs.

-----------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 4-1 Verona
Babu, Medero 2, Capuano

We went 3up in the first 10min so it was game over pretty early on. Medero missed a penalty late on too.

---------------------------------------------------------

UEFA Europa League Group E
Lille 2-1 AC Milan
Senol Ahmet Sami

My first defeat as Milan manager!!!! I played a backup side so half expected it.

----------------------------------------------------------

Roma 2-2 AC Milan
Markovic, Koljonen

Pretty gutting this result as we had 2 goals disallowed yet we got a point thanks to Koljonen's last minute strike.

----------------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 2-0 Genoa
Said, Meda

---------------------------------------------------------------

UEFA Europa League Group E
AC Milan 2-2 Werder Bremen
Koljonen 2

A draw was good enough to top the group.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Inter Milan 1-4 AC Milan
Strnad, Babu 2, Koljonen

Inter are second bottom but this is still a great result. Kinda hope they go down but I kinda hope they dont at the same time.

Can you check out my attempt at the challenge, started off at AC Milan. Having an odd pre-season to be fair

 

[Klippybo]

JANUARY

Another month and another one in which we avoid defeat. Lots of goals were scored for both us and our opponents but thankfully we always got the winner.

Transfer wise Miladin was sold to Real Madrid for nearly £40m while incoming Marco Verratti joined me for the 3rd time in a £10m deal from Juventus. Finally I signed a 17y/o French LB Jacques Bertrand for £8m to cover for Diego.

AC Milan 4-3 Fiorentina
Babu, Markovic, Medero, Luiz Fernando

Despite the close final scoreline we never trailed in this game and always seemed to be comfortable.

----------------------------------------------------

Cesena 2-5 AC Milan
Markovic, Said 2, Strnad, Barani

A very good win - still conceding too many though!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Coppa Italia 1st Round
AC Milan 2-2 Genoa
Markovic, Babu
(aet AC Milan won 4-3 on penalties)

We took the lead twice but got pegged back both times. Babu - despite his young age has been excellent this year so far.

-------------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 1-0 Reggina
Strnad

We were without several first choice players for this game.

--------------------------------------------------------------

AC Milan 3-1 Udinese
Babu, Giefer (og), Strnad
