October​

Again the main thing in my life, the football will come first, so here are the results for October. League matches unless stated otherwise

Colligiana 0-0 Carrarese​

Serie C Cup
Carrarese 0-2 Ravenna​

Carrarese 0-0 Giacomense​

Carrarese 3-1 Poggibonsi
Doretti, Marin, Muinos​

Bassano 1-0 Carrarese​

Honestly, this is a month I want to forget. Didn't plan on advancing in the cup, especially against a better side than us, we were dominated and lost unsurprisingly. First loss in the league though and a real lack of goals. In the month I warned a total of 6 players for poor performance, mainly attacking players, Huc, Muinos, Irrazabal, Vincenzi, Falivena and Chicacchio. They all accepted it and I am expecting a better month in November!​

I have seen Rosa on four different occasions this month and have really enjoyed spending time with her. She is easy to talk to and we know each-other really well already! Also kissed her for the first time on the third time we went out and it was great, first time I have kissed a girl for about four months! She said she will come round to my place some time next week, I look forward to it ​

My Mother visited. She arrived on the 5th of October and left on the 13th. Same old Mother really. Cooking my meals and looking after me, that is what I have missed to be honest. I booked a trip with her to the white marble mountains the city is famous for. She enjoyed her time here and I am quite sad she has gone. She is going to come back soon though for my Birthday.​

Same old with my friends. Alessandro and Gianluca arguing, rest of us having a laugh. Marco is getting married at the end of November, he picked Alessandro as best man, he and Gianluca had yet another argument about that. Best laugh I had this month was when he said he would of picked Luigi but he'd of lost the ring. Yes, my life is that boring. Won twice out of four in Poker this week, I really am improving at it, having only learnt the game just over a month back, we play Texas Hold'em, it is very fun.​

In other news, I think I had my drink spiked on the weekend. All of us, except Marco went to the cities main night club. Having a pretty good time, never had training in the morning so I got quite drunk. Cannot remember anything after about 12PM though. Lucky the lads were with me to be honest otherwise I might of been mugged or anything...​

Had a phone call from Brazil the other day. It was the Santos manager asking about things, he seemed really happy for me and wished me the best of luck, this really put a smile on my face.​

Quite a good month in terms of personal life however results on the pitch have not been good enough. We're defending well but our goalscoring record is woeful, we need to improve!​

November​

As always football comes first, November's results.​

Carrarese 4-2 Fano
Rossi, Doretti, Vincenzi, Guidone​

Sacilese 0-0 Carrarese​

Carrarese 5-0 Bellaria
Muinos2, Irrazabal2, N'Siabamfumu​

Sangiovannese 0-1 Carrarese
Marin​

Prato 2-1 Carrarese
Guidone​

Some good results in there, not a bad month, another loss in the league though. We now sit 3rd. Strikers are massively tempramental and on our day we can do what we did to Bellaria, on other days we can be frustrated like against Sacilese. Quite a good month though, happy with it.​

Very close to Rosa now and she comes to my place every other day to be honest. Cost's me a fortune for transport though I am still frustrated though having not made my move on her, I think we will connect pretty soon (6) Happy with how we're progressing though.​

It was my Birthday on the 8th October. My Mother visited, only four five days but she met Rosa and was very happy for me. She was asking if I had made any friends I daren't introduce her to them though. Luigi would make a fool of himself, Alessandro and Gianluca would end up fighting and Marco would let her loose on some sort of technical device.​

Things with friends have been going well. Marco's stag night was quality, we went go-karting in the day and we got a hotel in Milan for the night. Alessandro then went and got a gay male stripper for him. I think it is best to just say Marco was not best pleased. Was hilarious though. Wedding went well too, really happy for Marco, a top lad.​

Marco and his wife Selina​

December​

Results for December.​

Carrarese 4-0 Nocerina
Muinos3, Irrazabal​

Carrarese 1-0 Lucchese
Muinos​

Carrarese 3-1 Celano
Muinos, Vincenzi, Irrazabal​

Well, we only played three games but three wins means we move top of the league by a point with a game in hand to Nocerina who we beat 4-0 this month. Muinos is really finding his feet, with five goals in three games. And a total of eight goals in three matches with only one conceded is brilliant, hopefully we can keep it up. The lads have really been putting their all in, in training recently too which is pleasing. An English manager, goes by the name of Dan is a training specialist and he set me up some schedules. I have started using them this month instead of what I normally use, a general training set-up.​

Rosa has been on holiday for most of December, she went on a trip to America with some of her friends, I was going to ask her to try and find me a gem over there but I decided not to, after all she would probably give me a slap. I did see her once early on in the month but she only came around to my place for a bit. She is coming with me to Luigi's new year party, as a bit of a date, I am looking forward to it.​

Mother has not visited, had Christmas with myself for the first time and to be quite frank it was ****. Been thinking about asking Mother to move to Italy, she must be lonely in Brazil, pretty much on her own.​

Haven't seen much of the lads, especially over the Christmas period, we had one poker night in which Luigi somehow won. They all attended the Nocerina game, the first match of mine they have been to, was great to show them what we can do. As I have said Luigi is having a New Year's party, I am going with Rosa ​

A great month for me, except for the cold weather, apparently January will be colder. Good on the field though ​

From the left: Alessandro, Gianluca and Marco with Michael Vincenzi, they didn't want their faces shown ​

January​

Football comes first, results for this month.​

Pro Vasto 0-1 Carrarese
Marin​

Carrarese 5-1 Itala
Irrazabal3, Vincenzo, Rinchiuso​

Gubbio 0-1 Carrarese
Muinos​

Carrarese 0-3 San Marino​

First three games we were brilliant, dominant in each of them and we destroyed Itala at Stadio Dei Marmi. Then we came up against a mediocre San Marino side at home, I expected a comfortable victory, especially seeing as we had played harder teams this month and come away with wins. Three wins and a loss isn't bad at all but we need to bounce back from the loss against San Marino.​

Me and Rosa have really connected this month, if you catch my drift? She is also now my girlfriend and we have some great times together. We went to Marco's new year bash together and had a great time, she has a new friend in Marco's wife. Me and the lads had a laugh, playing on Fifa and having a drink, before setting some fireworks off to celebrate the new year.​

Gone yet another month without seeing Mother but the very good news in this is that she is moving over to Italy. We have been talking a lot and she agreed to sell the old family home and move into a small bungalow here in Italy, I will give her some money and want to look after her, I do not feel comfortable with her in Brazil on her own.​

Seen a lot of my friend's in January, three poker sessions, our games of Fifa and Marco's new year party means we really have saw a lot of each-other this month, that isn't a bad thing though, they are top lads and I couldn't of asked to of got to know a better bunch of characters.​

Although my month has been brilliant, I have had one downside. I was out shopping the other day, got home around 5PM. Went back out at around 6PM to go and buy a new PS3 game, Heavy Rain. I got to 'Gamestation' and purchased it for £35, nothing wrong here then. However on the way home I decided to take a shortcut and cut through an alleyway. Quite a few people use it and it isn't exactly some sort of danger spot but I saw some fella running up behind, not an old woman (she was about 40 years old). He used both hands to punch her in the back of the head and she fell to the floor. He then attempted to steal her handbag. He took about ten seconds to get it off her though and in that time I was in hot pursuit. He was quite a large fella so it never took me long to catch him but when I did get a hold of him he struck me to the floor. I never had time to react though and he ran, luckily he dropped the womans handbag. During these proceedings though, as I fell to the floor, a sharp pain hit near my shoulder, it was so painful.​

A couple of minutes later the woman handed me my PS3 game and said 'thank you, are you ok?'.
I responded 'yes', but she could tell by the grimace on my face I was lying and she looked at me as if to say, tell me what is wrong.
'Well I have hurt myself, it isn't too bad though, I think I have just pulled a muscle or something'.
She phoned her brother to come and pick her up and he dropped me off at the doctors. Luckily the healthcare in Italy is quite good and the doctor gave me an X-Ray after about a twenty minutes wait.
'Your collarbone' he said, 'it is broken'. I was dissapointed. He told me 'it is not too bad but you will not be able to move your arm or shoulder remotely for about a month'. He gave me a sling to put my arm in, and off I went, my first real bad experience in Italy...​

January transfers?​

Yes I signed two French strikers on the 26th January to add to my goalscoring threat. I don't feel Muinos, Irrazabal, Chiacchio etc put enough away so lets hope these lads can add some goals. They are
From Bordeaux, 50k Sacha Clemence-ST-France-21
Sacha is still young and when he fits in and gets to grips with the language he should do well for us.
From PSG, 75k, Yoann Arquin-ST-France-21
Same as Sacha.​

I have massively overspent there and hope these perform, I have used my full budget on them two, they need to rectify that spending.
​

Yoann Arquin-New 75K signing from PSG!​

 

[Finn]

I was thinking Luis Tiaguinho was a super hero for a second like 'Your friendly neighbourhood....ehm Luis Tiaghuinho'. Then he broke his collarbone and the image was lost lol! Great detail mate.

 

[Ben]

​

A picture I took of my collarbone, it is quite painful ​

February​

The end of the season is getting nearer, February results.​

Carrarese 0-0 Colligiana​

Poggibonsi 1-1 Carrarese
Muinos​

Sangiustese 5-2 Carrarese
O.G, Irrazabal​

Giacomense 1-3 Carrarese
Arquin, Chiacchio2​

Bad results to be honest. After the first two draws, I was pretty frustrated to be honest and decided to go all out away to Sangiustese, who are third in the league, a real bad decision from me which left us with no hope. I will learn from my mistakes though. After a few warnings to players, I reverted back to the normal tactic and come away with a good result against Giacomense. A bed set of results for February moves us down to second in the league though.​

Me and Rosa, as always have had a lot of great times together this month. We are still yet to have a proper argument and we just connect every time we see each-other, I think I am actually in love. I have been thinking recenty about saving as much money as possible and in a few months, maybe asking her if she want's to move into a house with me. I also got a bit of sympathy from her as-well following my injury ​

My Mother has moved to Italy. What happened last month though has made me think though, I really need to keep an eye on her, she can be fragile. She has moved into a bungalow, about a mile away from my place, so I can pop down and see her whenever. Very happy she has moved here.​

Same old with the lads, playing poker, PS3, having a few drinks, now and then. I must say Marco is currently my best friend, a brilliant mate and does anythink for anyone. On a downside, Alessandro's Nan has died and he has been a bit upset lately. Hope he get's over it soon, he really hasn't been himself, really sorry for the lad.​

Really been raping my PS3 this month and am starting to really excel on Fifa, I am now ranked as around the 10,000th best player at it worldwide! If only Carrarese could play like I do on Fifa eh... ​

I cannot stop playing on my Playstation Weird seeing as I am 31 years old and am obsessed with a games console.​

 

[Trophy_Whorder]

lol brill ben glad ur doing well.

 

[bcfc]

This is reminding me of good ol' Alfonso Sanchez

Keep up the great work

 

[Ben]

Thanks bcfc and Ryangiggs 11.

March
​

Results for March:​

Carrarese 5-0 Bassano
Arquin, Huc, Chiacchio, Doretti2

Fano 1-3 Carrarese
Arquin, Chiacchio2

Carrarese 2-2 Sacilese
Chiacchio, Clemence
​

I wouldn't of took two wins and a draw before the month but after coming out lucky against Sacilese I am pleased. We really were lucky in the end against Sacilese after coming in 2 goals down at half time. We could of scored 6 in the second half though. These results put us top of the table after Prato lost a game this month, we are also a game in hand.

Same old with Rosa, we are really enjoying each-others company and if things keep going like they are my plan to get a place with her may go ahead. It was her Birthday on the 25th, I got her a necklace, worth $100, she was made up with it, I then took her out to a fancy resturant

Mother has settled in really well and has started attempting to learn the language, I have hired her, her own personal Italian tutor. She said she thinks Carrara is a lovely place, better than back home. I would have to agree with her this city really is very nice.

Something bad happened with my mates the other day, this is what Alessandro told me by the way. He said that the four of them were out, this was whilst I was in training. They were coming home from a cafe they sometimes go to through the week. As they crossed the road a motorist nearly hit them, Alessandro said he was driving at about 60 MPH on the 30 MPH road. The driver swerved around them and then stopped. As he came to a standstill, Marco shouted 'you ******* idiot'. The driver and passenger of the car then got out of the car and the passenger struck Marco. Alessandro said he and Gianluca then grabbed the passenger. The driver then hit Gianluca. It turned into a brawl, Alessandro told me. Marco, Luigi, Luca and Al came out on top but when the Police turned up they got the blame for everything. They got took to the station. Luckily a citizen witnessed what had happened and told the Police everything. The lads luckily got off scot-free. By the sounds of it the motorist was a real ***, thank god I wasn't there, imagine the bad press I would of got around the city!

On that note people around the city are really starting to recognise me and over the last couple of months I have had various members of the public asking for autographs and pictures with me! I feel like a celebrity although I suppose I am in my own right.


​

 

[Trophy_Whorder]

[Ben]

[Trophy_Whorder]

April​

Results for April as we near the end of the season at the top of the table.​

Bellaria 0-0 Carrarese​

Lucchese 3-3 Carrarese
Del Sole, Clemence2​

Carrarese 2-0 Prato
Irrazabal, Doretti​

Just the three games again in April. Results weren't bad. Pretty poor the two draws to be honest but then we beat Prato who are out main challengers for the league. We beat them and are now five points clear of them, with two games left for both of us. So... In the end pleased with all the on-field action.​

Had a minor bust up with Rosa at the start of the month. After coming home on a Tuesday after a hard days work, a really intense training session, she wanted me to go shopping with her. I was absolutely knackered and she took offense when I told her to go with her friends or something. She really had a go at me and kept rejecting my phone calls for days. I eventually made it up to her after about a week, with a box of chocolates and some flowers but I hope this isn't a sign of things to come.​

My Mother is loving it over here in Italy. She is really starting to get to grips with the language and really enjoys the Italian food. I often take her out to the finest Italian restuarant's and I am happy that she is happy.​

Nothing to take note of with me and the lads. Same old to be honest, having a laugh and a good time. Luigi has just completed his UEFA Coaching badges which I recommended to him and I would love if he could get into coaching. It really is reminding me of an old friend I actually did my coaching badges with, Fillipo Selva. He was a top bloke and is now managing Lucchese. The fans were not happy when they saw us having a laugh and a joke on the touch line before the game between Carrarese and Lucchese, the rivalry is actually quite fierce.​

I only need one two more wins in May to secure the league, and automatic promotion. I am so excited and the city mayor phoned me last week and told me if I did get the club promoted he would erect a small statue of me somewhere within the city. This is possibly the best ever period of my life!​

 

[Nixon]

Good results! Hopefully you can hang on at the top til the end of the season, then some bigger clubs might become interested The background story is good and believable too

 

[Ben]

Thanks rnixon. Yeah promotion is looking good and hopefully it can increase my reputation.

I will finish the season tonight

 

[bcfc]

Sounds good

Looks like you're going strong, hopefully in the close season you can bring back some good ol' Alfonso Sanchez holiday madness

 

[Ben]

May​

The final month of the season. May results:​

Carrarese 3-2 Sangiovannese
Doretti, Muinos, Arquin​

Nocerina 3-0 Carrarese​

Well... I would normally be left angry after a 3-0 loss however we had already won the league after the Sangiovannese match, Prato lost both of their May games and we won the League. A brilliant first season in charge and the Italian media are gobsmacked some random Brazilian guy has came over and dominated the league with a team who were expected to be lucky to reach the play-offs. A fantastic experience and a statue of me will now be erected within the city!​

Winning the league put us into the Italian C2 Super Cup. This is a cup contested between the winners of the Italian Serie C2/A/B and C winners. We would play Cisco Roma and Pro Sesto in this competition here are the results.​

Pro Sesto 2-3 Carrarese
Rinchiuso, Huc, Arquin​

Carrarese 1-2 Cisco
Rinchiuso​

We won the tournament. After a win and a loss for each team and the exact same GD it was decided on goals scored and we scored four but, so did Pro Sesto. So... Then it went on head to head and we beat Pro Sesto in the first match, so we won the Serie C Super Cup. Another trophy for the club and the fans will be pleased with it along with the board!​

I have not been very sociable in May at all and Rosa understood that it was the end of the season so allowed me a lot of time to myself and with the team. I have only seen her twice and would like to thank her for the time she has given me.​

Same with Mother have hardly saw her during the final month of the season, she also understood.​

And the same with the lads. They didn't really give a **** they hardly saw me though Had one poker session in May, I won it. We went out on the 29th of May though to celebrate my year as manager, and my success. We went to the main nightclub in the city and had a laugh and a great time. I got pretty drunk.​

Our fantastic league victory!​

​

And our other trophy for the year, the Serie C Super Cup!​

​

After winning the league, I took the manager of the year award (H)​

​

Michele Rinchiuso, our rock at the back is our player of the year​

​

A new 3 year contact on £1,700 a week!!!​
