End of Season Games

Three games left for us with nothing left to play for while I still want us to be professional for them but, I will give some rotation as some players have to fight to be here next season and don't have long left to impress.

View attachment 155827
We get a link with Corinthians to help us get good players although I did hope there would be more marketing ventures for us in Brazil.

Lazio 1-1 Verona
View attachment 155826In a totally rotated side we get a very late equaliser from Kimmich that relegated Verona. Luca Toni put us behind after 16 minutes, yet another header by Toni as he headed in a Holebas cross at the near post. Kimmich ensured we didn't get only a third loss of the season and annoyed Verona fans by relegating them with a late goal, Onazi laid the ball of to Kimmich and from just outside the D Kimmich curled a beautiful goal into the top corner to earn us a point.

It will be an all Manchester Champions League final as Martial scored a 92 minute goal to get United through and Juventus were looking like they could go through but, Caceres got sent off and they imploded.

View attachment 155823
It is a very tight race for Europe so to be fair I felt that I had to play my best side and I also want the best team to go through to help our co-efficent.

Cagliari 1-4 Lazio
View attachment 155822I'm sure that Cagliari appreciated me playing my best team as we hammered them and leave them struggling to get into Europe. Haller put us behind after 13 minutes, Di Gennaro played him in and Haller slipped a low shot in. Griezmann got us level minutes later, Mas slipped him in from a tight angle Griezmann hit a low powerful shot across the keeper and just inside the far post. Martins Indi got us ahead just before half time, heading in a Griezmann cross at the near post his first Lazio goal. Barbosa got us two goals up after 68 minutes, Basta hit in a cross and Barbosa and he headed the ball in off of the post. Ianis Hagi got his first goal after 79 minutes stepping up to take a penalty and putting the keeper the wrong way.

Lazio 3-0 Frosinone
View attachment 155821
A game that neither side had anything to play for Frosinone will finish 17th and we are top. We showed why and lifted the Serie A trophy. Barbosa got us ahead after 9 minutes, Griezmann played a long ball up to Barbosa he took the ball down and slotted a low finish in past the keeper. Barbosa got a second Griezmann went on a nice run and passed to Saul his tocuh was poor and a defender tried to clear it but, it hit off of a defender and played in Barbosa and he curled an effort into the top corner leaving the keeper no chance. Martins Indi, having not scored all season got his second goal in two games, heading a Griezmann corner from inside the six yard box and it went in off of the bar.

No problem, hopefully he can develop into a good player
 
Awards and Randoms stuff

Kishna signs a new deal he old one was running out so I ensured that he would stay with just a small wage rise. He is a great rotation option on the wing and allows us to do well even if the main wing players are injured.

View attachment 155762
Barbosa signs a monster new deal to stay at Lazio and let us keep him despite interest from everywhere. His release fee also goes up to €93 million which I doubt anyone would pay so he should be here for 5 more years. I had hoped the deal would put off teams but, two days later United were linked with him.

View attachment 155761
Saul also signs a big new deal to stay and help us become one of the best clubs, he gets a decent wage rise and we get rid of his release clause so he won't be leaving any time soon.

View attachment 155760
Lichtsteiner gets his second award in a row I would have hoped one of our players could have got it but, Lichtstiener has had a good season again.

View attachment 155759
Despite his two ankle injuries that saw him miss most of January and February he won top scorer scoring 23 Serie A goals in 28 games.

View attachment 155758
Guilherme;s long range strike against us deservedly won goal of the season it was an incredible strike.

View attachment 155757
I win manager of the year for leading Lazio to the title and my unique style at press conferences.

View attachment 155756
We get five players in the team of the year. Griezmann got into the team despite having joined us in January. Candreva again gets into the side in a position that he never played in any game ever under me.

View attachment 155755
Barbosa wins the foreign player of the year award and Candreva gets the fans player of the year award. Both had great seasons and deserved the awards.

View attachment 155754
Dusan Basta finishes third in the defender of the year award. We get all three players for the midfielder awards, Griezmann beating out Saul and Felipe Anderson to the award despite only joining in January. It's impressive when you consider that Pogba is still in the league.

Our overall eleven the only change I would make is Danilo Cataldi for Senad Lulic.

View attachment 155749
Saul again gets fans player of the season and young player of the season. Again it is a big signing from Atletico that gets our signing of the season award Griezmann winning it after a great half season after arriving for his big fee.

View attachment 155748
Stats wise Barbosa was top scorer in no surprise, Saul had the highest rating, Candreva got the most assists and Onazi was the most accurate passer. Basta had 4 less yellows than last year but, still lead the team and no one got sent off multiple times which is a big help for us.

View attachment 155747
A good season and the highlight as an individual game was the hammering of Fiorentina. We go out of all of the cups to Juventus. Our attendance has gone up a bit and I used the most players on the Serie A as well.

View attachment 155746
We have had a few injury problems Barbosa and Keita were the worst while Saul also missed some game time.

View attachment 155745
Good to see a lot of our young players training hard while Marchetti has been a disappointment in training and is beginning to decline.

View attachment 155744
We had a dominant away record winning 51 of 57 points that we could win. A record no one could get near and was a key part of us winning the title

View attachment 155743
We didn't have a great home record it was behind Juventus' and AC Milan's records at home. It was tight but, also neither side did better than how we did away

View attachment 155742
Bruno Fernandes picked up a big injury on international duty and will miss the first half of the season most likely.

View attachment 155741
In a rematch of last seasons final the same winners came out as Genoa again fall to Juventus in the final. Pogba scoring the only goal of the game.

View attachment 155740
I also win the managers manager of the year award which is nice to do.

Leagues in Europe

View attachment 155739
Barcelona claimed the La Liga title with Luis Suarez firing them to the title and beating Ronaldo to the top scorer award in the process. Atletico continue to struggle as they will miss out on the Champions League yet again, although me taking all of their best players can't be helping that. Malaga were surprisingly relegated and a lot of their players are being linked with moves away.

View attachment 155738
Arsenal get a second title on the bounce and Chelsea Man Utd and City round out the top four. Ipswich, Villa and Palace all go down. Bournemouth will also being going to Europe by winning the prestigious fair play award. Sunderland surviving on goal difference in a very tight relegation battle as well.

View attachment 155737
Bayern won the league in a massive surprise to no one. Leverkusen, Dortmund and Stuttgart will all be in the Champions League. Wolfsburg will likely be disappointed with a seventh place finish.

View attachment 155736
Lyon won the league on the back of Jonathan Calleri who won the European Golden Boot and I passed on. It was close as they finished level on points with Monaco while PSG will face qualifying rounds to get into the Champions League.

If you want to see any team or league just let me know​
 
June and July Outgoing Transfers

Some big sales as I sell off a number of rotation players and bring in quite a decent amount of money.

Diego Rolan
View attachment 155735
While I have somewhat question spending 27.5 million on players soon to be thirty this is the most questionable transfer to PSG yet. I snapped their hand off to sell the disappointing Rolan for a nice profit. He had a poor scoring record so to get all that money for him is great to me.

Santi Mina
View attachment 155734
Santi Mina was a disappointment when playing only scoring twice despite getting a lot of minutes, although mainly off of the bench. However, financially he was wonderful as he is sold for just over three times what I paid for him to Marseille where he should be able to do well in the French league.

Patric
View attachment 155733He joins Mina at Marseille moving for six million euros he was unhappy with a lack of game time but, he was never great for me so I sold him to give him first team football. A nice fee for him that is all profit as he arrived on a free from Barcelona.

Luis Pedro Cavanda
View attachment 155732
Another right back that wanted first team football and moved to France to get it. He moves for 4.8 million euros which is a small profit and we lose his wages.

Alejandro Arribas
View attachment 155731Arribas leaves for Swansea after becoming unhappy with a lack of football as he was behind De Vrij, Martins Indi and Mauricio.

Mohammed Elynoussi
View attachment 155730
After failing to impress here and on loan while being on a big wage I move him on to earn and save some cash. Bournemouth signed him for €7.25 million so we make a nice profit on him although a chunk of the money goes to Molde.

Federico Marchetti
View attachment 155729
Having trained poorly he wasn't at a level to play for a side competing for the title. So after he gets his Serie A title he moved to Dinamo in Croatia where he should get a few more. Sad to see him go but, I had to but a starting keeper and want Meret for the future so I cannot afford his wages and he moves to Dinamo.


A decent amount of money in so I can spend it or be responsible

View attachment 155728
Yeah that was the board I plan on blowing the lot on players as I always do​
 
July Incoming Transfers

To replace all the players the academy has failed to produce I had to search for some young players. I had to rule out Italy as most of the best players belong to rivals and they won't sell to me and the fans don't want me to buy from them. There is also a lack of talented young Italians at all teams. So I roamed Europe picking up youngsters and promising them jobs in another country. I feel I should maybe change the wording of that.

Jerry St. Juste
View attachment 155727A rotation option at centre back despite his young age. He captained Herenveen at the age of 19 and should develop into a good centre back for us. He signs for €6 million and 600k in clauses a cheap deal for such a talented young player.

Max Kramer
View attachment 155726
Despite his young age Kramer can play a number of positions already. He signed to us from Bayern Munich for 5.75 million and it could rise to 15 million but, that isn't guaranteed to happen. I do love his versatility so I can see him staying here for a while.

Raul Vangjeli
View attachment 155725Vangjeli has the potential to be a great winger in the future. He also signed from Bayern but, was produced by them. He could be as gifted a footballer as ungifted his hair appears to be. He cost us €5 million and could rise by six million. Surprised Bayern were willing to sell him for such a small amount but, happy to take advantage.

Matthijs de Ligt
View attachment 155724
Another young Dutch centre back I signed de Ligt has big potential and can also play as a DM. I hope he can develop well enough to break into the first team in a couple of years or less. It cost me €2.8 million to bring him from Ajax to Rome.

Mitchell van Bergen
View attachment 155723
Bergen is another Dutch player brought to Rome, we have quite the contingent of them. He is a talented winger with great potential and to help he to develop he will spend the year on loan at Grasshoppers in Switzerland to get first team football. He cost €4 million but, it could rise to €9 million of he develops well a good deal for us from Vitesse Arnhem.

Umut Karaca
View attachment 155722
Yet another signing from Bayern who seem to have had a great youth intakes but, no interest in developing the players. He cost us €7 million that could rise to 18 million if he is a real hit here. He could develop into a real threat as an advanced playmaker dominating from midfield.

Diego Sanchez
View attachment 155721
We beat all of the best teams in Europe to sign the talented young centre back from relegated Malaga. It shows how far we are going up in the world as I did negotiate a contract with him and not pay him more than everyone else would. The 5.75 million we paid good fee for the centre back who could develop really well and into a great player. He will spend the season on loan at Spezia in the Serie B.

Alisson
View attachment 155720
We needed a starting keeper so I plucked for the Brazilian and we stole him from under the nose of Porto and Monaco. He will start from day one until Meret develops enough to replace him. An added advantage is that he has German citizenship so isn't a non-EU citizenship signing. He cost us €6.5 million to sign from Internacional.

Vanja Galovic
View attachment 155719
I felt we lacked young Germans so got another. At 16 he has great mental stats including a great 20 for determination and he is also a good finisher. In a change he is signed from Stuttgart for €6.25 million but, it could rise to €21 million if he is a huge success which I think he could be as he is a great prospect.

Maycon
View attachment 155718A talent signed from affiliate Corinthians for €6 million rising to 15 million. For his first season he has been loaned out to Bursaspor to get a taste of football in Europe. I think he can develop into a very good defensive midfielder for us over time.

Edu Rodriguez
View attachment 155717I felt we lacked balding teenage Germans so I grabbed another one. He can develop into a great right back but, I will need one in between the time he starts and Basta is too old most likely. He is also signed from Bayern but, not from their academy. He cost €4.4 million and can rise to €9 million so if he works out. h\He could develop into one of the best right backs in the world.

Fabricio Oya
View attachment 155716Another Brazilian midfielder signed from Corinthians and loaned out. He cost us 5.75 million and while my scouts may have been a bit over optimistic with his potential he could still become a good CM. He will go on loan to Goias to get first team football.

Roberto Rosales
View attachment 155715
Another signing from Malaga Rosales replaces the two departing right backs and back up for Basta and then takeover from him for a while. The Venezuelan is a good right back and cost a reasonable €8.5 million and should be a solid rotation option at right back.

Ismail Azzaoui
View attachment 155714
He was transfer listed at Wolfsburg for just €1.6 million so I was thrilled to sweep in and sign him up for that price. He will be a rotation option on the wing and can develop into a good player put wide.

Josip Drmic
View attachment 155713
We become his sixth club in as many years and hopefully he can settle here and bang in the goals. He will be the back up to Gabriel Barbosa and is more than qualified to step up and replace Barbosa. A decent fee as well as he only cost €13 million from BMG.

The Summer Fashion 2017 - Bidding for Stefan De Vrij

View attachment 155650
No to Real Madrid and even if I wanted to sell him the bid is unacceptable

View attachment 155649
Bayern try to sign him with all the money I have given them but, I also refuse them so far so good for keeping hold of him.

View attachment 155648
Barca join in on the bidding and also get rejected but, this annoys De Vrij and he asks to speak to me.

View attachment 155647
I tell him the bid isn't enough and if they match my value I'll sell. I didn't tell him that I value him at a straight swap for Neymar and Messi where I don't pay their wages so he is staying.

Danilo Cataldi's Summer
View attachment 155646
Chelsea bid for him yet again but, as he is homegrown at the club he won't leave for anything. After the second bid was turned down he wanted a new deal and I agreed as he wasn't on a lot.

View attachment 155645
A new five year deal should see him here for quite a while and be a big part of any successes we have.

He also made his Italy debut in the summer which I feel he deserved after some great form for us.

Felipe Anderson
View attachment 155643
PSG tried to increase the number of Lazio players they own but, I refused to sell and also to give Felipe Anderson the new deal his agent wanted which didn't seem to bother him.

View attachment 155640
Biggest shirt seller is surprisingly Marco Parolo. The rest of the top four isn't much of a surprise and I would guess that Griezmann would be in it next year. Our touring of Asia seemed to pay off as we sold well there. Also as a result of winning the league we have €6 million more in sponsorship money than last year which is just shy of double.

View attachment 155638
We are just short of becoming a worldwide team and have the fourth highest reputation in Italian football after the Milan clubs and Juventus.

Season Expectations
View attachment 155637
A top three finish and getting out of the group stage in the Champions League is the minimum expectation of the board. Should be doable depending on the group draw. I would also like to get a bit further in the Italian Cup but, it not that important to me.

View attachment 155636
In an English dominated list we are the 18th richest side in football and the third richest Italian side. English teams could well overtake us in the next few years though.

View attachment 155635View attachment 155634

August Transfers

It was no where near as busy a month as July was but, a number of big deals were made and some big players came to the club and left the club.

Outgoing Transfers

Gabriel Barbosa
View attachment 155439
I received 7 bids for Barbosa from Arsenal 5 from Chelsea and 2 from Dortmund. Despite all that he stayed and never asked to leave, possibly as he has a preference to play for Barcelona and they haven't bid for him. Incidentally before I got him a new deal they would have activated his release clause.

Bruno Martins Indi
View attachment 155438
The Dutchman is a solid centre back for us but, he wasn't a 34 million euro good defender so I sold him for that possibly rising to €40 million. A great fee for him and more than enough to get an as good if not better replacement. He was a good player who helped us to the title but, the money was to good.

Ricardo Kishna
View attachment 155437I debated heavily whether to sell him to Ajax or not but, in the end the money was to good for a man who is at best a rotation option out wide on large wages. We get €18.5 million rising to 22 million for him which is good for a player who hasn't played a big role for us despite the wages.

Antonio Candreva
View attachment 155436
On deadline day City tried to get our Italian Winger but, I refused to sell him and he was happy to stay. Despite his age he can still be a great player for us for years to come.

Incoming Transfers

To replace the players who were sold I had to make a number of purchases but, it wasn't an overly busy month.

Ingo Meyer
View attachment 155435
The young German signed for us after I felt we lacked them. He cost us €6.5 million from Schalke and it could rise to 21 million if he becomes a star in Rome. Despite being just 16 he is already good at heading, marking and tackling.

Alexander Dragovic
View attachment 155434
Signed to replace Martins Indi he is an upgrade on him and he was unhappy at Manchester United as he didn't get much game time. He cost us €15 million which is 7 million less than what United paid for him, He should be a good partner of De Vrij.

Emre Can
View attachment 155433Another transfer listed player and I liked his versatility so I was happy to sign him from Liverpool for just €13 million a cheap fee for what is a good player who could become a bit better with some more first team football which he should get here.

Transfer Overview
View attachment 155432PSG spent big in June with over €125 million spent on 3 players as they look to get the title in France again. We earned a lot in fees during the month.

View attachment 155431
Manchester United spent big on Koke while PSG didn't halt their spending to much buying another couple of players. Icardi leaves Inter for Bayern in the biggest deal involving an Italian team. Juventus also spent big as they look to reclaim the title.

View attachment 155430
Manchester City are the biggest spenders, PSG continue to spend a lot on players and Juventus also spend a lot trying to get back the Serie A title.

Italian Club Transfer Overview

Lazio
View attachment 155429
I spent big and also brought in a lot in fees so there is only a small loss made in the window although with clauses it could be a lot more expensive window in the future.

Napoli
View attachment 155428
Juanmi was the big signing for Napoli after impressing for Bournemouth last season. They had no massive players leave Zapata was the biggest loss.

Roma
View attachment 155427
Not many players arrived at Roma transfer listed Areola and Okore arrived from PSG and Aston Villa. Florenzi left for a massive fee to join Manchester City but, they didn't reinvest the money.

AC Milan
View attachment 155426
AC Milan marked their return to the Champions League by spending a small fortune on players on not recouping much of it. Marquinhos returns to Italy and could form a good partnership with Romangoli. Vazquez leaves to Porto after a poor year and Brooks moves to Real Madrid.

Inter

Hervin Ongenda and Malcom arrive for big money as Inter look to replace captain Icardi who left for Munich. Murillo could also be a big loss to PSG.

August Update

Just the two Serie A games but, we also face Juventus in the Supercup which I want to win as it is against them but it isn't vital for either side.

Lazio 1-0 Juventus
View attachment 155422
For the third year in a row Juve lose the Super Cup and we start the season with a statement win and a trophy which is nice. In an even game it was a mix of a mistake and genius that got us the win. Intercepting a high ball out wide 18 yards out Caceraes headed it in front of his goal and Candreva arrived to volley the ball past a stunned Buffon. It was a goal worthy of winning any title and it won us the Super Cup.

View attachment 155421
For the second time I have the Super Cup but, more important is we qualified to play for it.

Alisson made his debut for Brazil in between this and the start of the season.
View attachment 155420
We are slowly increasing the number of season tickets we sell which is good to see and hopefully a trend that continues.

Frosinone 1-2 Lazio
View attachment 155419
We fight back after falling behind to claim the win over Frosinone away, oddly they were our final game last season. Robert Gucher put us behind after just 4 minutes, Tonev passed to him and Gucher curled a wonderful shot around two defenders past Alisson and in off of the post. A very good goal. Barbosa opened his account for the season after just 16 minutes, Candreva hit in a good cross Valdes came and failed to claim leaving Barbosa a simple tap in to get us level and he doesn't miss them. Saul scored the winner for us after 61 minutes from another piece of poor goalkeeping, a Mas cross caused chaos in the box and the ball fell to Saul and he powered a shot on target from 16 yards out it would have hit Valdes in the chest but, he managed to push it behind him and in. Poor from the former Barcelona shot stopper. A win is a win but, we weren't convincing against the side that finished 17th last season.

Lazio 2-1 Sampdoria
View attachment 155418
Another two one win but, we looked better against Sampdoria. Kimmich got us ahead after 23 minutes, Candreva's corner was cleared back to him and he whipped in a second ball. Cataldi's header was blocked by a defender and fell perfectly for Kimmich to fire low and hard past the keeper and in. Candreva got the winner after 31 minutes, Dusan Basta was wiped out in the box and Candreva stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way to score. Although the penalty was so good it didn't matter. Sampdoria did pull a goal back after 63 minutes, they cleared a corner and played a long ball forward to their pacy striker who put the ball on his right foot and hit a perfect shot past Alisson that went in off of the bar. We held on for the win to go 2 for 2 and continue the form that saw us made champions.

Table
View attachment 155417
Us, Juventus and Bologna are the only sides to win both games and are at the top. Roma and Inter have both had poor starts to the season.

Champions League Group Stage Draw
View attachment 155416
I forgot that as we won the league we were a first seed, we avoided a number of nasty second seeds including Real Madrid, PSG and Leverkusen. It is a group I expect us to win and will also see us face Kishna a lot sooner than I thought we would.

The other Italian sides are Juve and AC Milan who beat Valencia to qualify for the group stage​
 
September Update

We have our first games in the Champions League and our first big challenge in the Serie A as we face Inter Milan, we also have four other Serie A matches.
View attachment 155415
Dragovic will miss most of the month with an ankle injury although given it was ligament based it could have been worse.

Lazio 2-1 Cesena
View attachment 155414All the goals were scored in nine minutes and we claim our third two one win in a row against what could be called Lazio B. Barbosa got us ahead after 20 minutes, Griezmann got the ball out wide and cut inside he was tackled and the ball fell to Barbosa and from 8 yards out he fired a low shot in past the keeper. Ze Eduardo hit back for Cesena two minutes later, Saul had a poor touch and Ze Eduardo took advantage to get one on one with the keeper and he fired a good shot in past Alisson. De Vrij got us the winner after 29 minutes, a Candreva free kick was never fully cleared and we passed the ball around and De Vrij stayed up front Candreva hit in a cross and De Vrij took a touch and half volleyed in oast the keeper from 15 yards out like a striker. A good win for us and three more points in the league.

Lazio 1-0 Ajax
View attachment 155413
In a tight game Gabriel Barbosa proved the difference between the two sides as Kishna made a return to the Olimpico. Barbosa scored the only goal of the game after 25 minutes, Basta's cross was deflected and fell to Barbosa and from very close range Barbosa poked the ball in from close range. A good win and three points to start the Champions League Group Stage.

Parolo and Onazi will both miss the next game through injury.

Inter 2-1 Lazio
View attachment 155412
Our first loss of the season and our first away loss for over a season. Inter got ahead after 4 minutes Cataldi taking out Ongenda in the box and Persic only just squeezes his penalty passed Alisson to put us behind. 4 minutes after half time the referee gave them another penalty this one against Emre Can was judged to have fouled Persic a bit harshly. Alisson pulled off a great save tipping the penalty onto the post and then diving on the rebound. Persic made amends with a great run out wide before he cut inside and lay the ball off to Ongenda to fire in from close range. Drmic pulled a goal back for us with his first Lazio goal, Barbosa crossing in for Drmic to rise over Jesus and head in past Handanovic. A loss that was coming after we hadn't looked convincing so far this season.

Lazio 3-0 Torino
View attachment 155411No one better for us to bounce back from our loss against than Torino who I have now beaten in all five games I've faced them. Griezmann almost got his first goal of the season with a tap in but, Velazquez poked in Candreva's cross before Griezmann could. Drmic got us a second goal ahead after an hour, Anderson hit in a cross early and Drmic rose the highest to head in past the keeper. Anderson then gabbed a late goal himself, Mas passed to Anderson in space and he chested the ball down to half volley past Padelli and in. A good win as we finally look to have found some form.

View attachment 155410
The win came at a cost though as we will not have Candreva available for the next two and a half months.

Palermo 1-3 Lazio
View attachment 155409
We get two late goal to thwart Palermo and get the win. Drmic scored again opening the scoring after 67 minutes, Andeson with another early cross and Drmic met it with a good header and it hit the bar but, he fired in the rebound to get us ahead. Palermo looked likely to get a point after equalising in the 82nd minute, Marquinhos switching the field well and Ayite was in on goal and fired a powerful shot into the top corner that gave Allison no chance. Parolo got us back in front after 84 minutes, we launched a counter attack and Emre Can laid the ball off to Parolo and he fired a powerful shot past Kameni and in. We added to the lead with Drmic grabbing his second goal of the game Felipe Anderson whipped in a perfect cross and Drmic had a simple tap in at the back post that he scored to get us the win. A good win for us especially after letting in an equaliser after 82 minutes.

A dull game were nothing happened and that was it we each get a point out of it which isn't bad for a trip to Greece.

We are joint top with Juve and there is already a gap between us and the rest Atalanta are doing well and Empoli are making their traditional good start to the season before they fade late on in the season.

We are second behind Benfica who we face home and away next. AEK Athens are a bit behind us but, if we don't do well we could be behind them.
