San Marino: One last hope

[drezzy86]

San Marino shock the footballing world

San Marino have announced today that they were over the moon with their latest signing, Dutch Master, Andy Van Der Meyde.
Andy has had a good career, but it's 2011 now, and Andy van Der Meyde hasn't played a match since June 2009. There will be many questions over his fitness, but it's a great capture for the small club, non the less

Serie C2/B: Matchday 25

Crociati Noceto 3 - 4 San Marino
From il Noce, Noceto Att:-412
Sylla (OG 62), Miftah (78), Guareschi (83)
Sylla (25, 32, 72), Lempereur (45+1)

San Marino took one step closer to promotion today, gaining 3 points against a stubborn Crociati Noceto.
San Marino though they had the game wrapped up, leading 3-0 at half time, but some awful defending saw Noceto almost get back into the game, but San Marino managed to scrape through, winning 4-3

Serie C2/B: Matchday 26

Giulianova 1 - 2 San Marino
From Rubens Fadini, Giulianova Att:-1919
Croce (65)
Vitale (79), Cesarini (88)

San Marino were on the back foot today, and looked like the team of old. It was probably the worst they had played all season, but something about them had changed, they still stuck in there, believing they could win. Vitale scored a rare goal on 79 minutes whilst Cesarini scored in the 88th minute, to give San Marino the win, and hand San Marino the Serie C2/B title, and promotion to Serie C1

San Marino: Champions!

San Marino were crowned Champions of Serie C2/B today, gaining promotion in the process.
They also have two further games to play in the Serie C2 Super cup

 

[drezzy86]

Serie C2 Super Cup

San Marino 3 - 0 Aversa Normanna
From Olimpico, Serravalle, Att:-410
Pecorari (9, 58) Sylla (82)

San Marino were touted to draw this game, but they controlled from the start, scoring a fantastic 3 goals against the Serie C2/C winners, Again, Sylla was on fire, and if they could win their next game, they would surely get their hands on their first cup, the first one in their history

 

[drezzy86]

Serie C2 Super Cup

Lecco 0 - 3 San Marino
From Rigamonti-Ceppi, Lecco, Att:-1274
Pecorari (23, 35), N'Kong (70)

San Marino were crowned Serie C super cup champions, after destroying a poor Lecco side. San Marino can look forward to next season, wanting to test them selves against slightly better teams

Congratulations on your promotion, how are your finances holding up with those monthly payments for Henrique

How much are you paying Andy van der Meyde anyway , thought you were broke already XD

McClaren isn't in Italy? How are you going to beat him up like what happened to Maradona

Yeah, we're scraping by lol.....Gonna have to offload some talent im not using, we've got nothing to spend on transfers, but we got some room to play with the wage budget.....so it will be free transfers only

Van Der Meyde is taking €600 a week, we got him on a free

And i have plans for McClaren lol

If we can pull through this season then it will be great...But i kind of cheated, i downloaded some ones shortlist for the new patch, players who were not in contract,....Any way, seems like alot of these guys will play for nearly nothing so there will be new arrivals.

New Season approaches

Newly promoted San Marino will be looking forward to this season, as they make their long awaited return to Serie C1. San Marino have never played at a higher level then this, but their spirits are high, and they firmly believe they can push for promotion again this season, With some bookies making them favourites to get promotion.
With San Marino set to announce their signings in the next few days, San Marino fans can look forward to the opening day of the season, when they play Barletta at home.
San marino will be also expecting their attendance to rise a little, especially when teams like Pisa and Reggina visit Olimpico.

Players Out​

Along with many youth team and reserve team releases, San Marino have sold the following players

Vincent Degre left San Marino, going to Livorno for an initial €500,000, which is a great deal for San Marino, as they brought him in on a free transfer just one year before.

Del Grande went to Trapani, for €100,000, Di Benedetto left for Feralp Salo for a €2,500 and Ligi went to Trapani for €30,000

Italian Cup 1st Qualifying round draw

San Marino have been handed a tough tie against former Serie A team, Reggina. San Marino secretly would like to progress a little further in the competition, but have to win away from home.

 

[kandersson]

Liking your transfer policy, reminds me a bit of mine! Good times...

While Reggina brings back bad memories. How bad? You decide

And I had a pretty good squad at the time (serie B)

 

[drezzy86]

Pre-Season Friendly

San Marino 3 - 3 Napoli
From Olimpico, Serravalle, Att:-4114
Cesarini (6 ), Azevedo (47), Santos (49)
Cavani (24), pen 58), Blasi (52)

San Marino delighted their fans today, holding Serie A giants Napoli to a 3-3 draw. Napoli clearly were unfit, but San Marino will still take this result. The game was a sell out, raising alot of money for the club.
The new signings seemed to have settled well, and San Marino fans had to pinch them selves early on in the second half, as their team were 3-1 up, but ten minutes later, the scores were equal again, and Napoli will feel unlucky that they didn't manage to go on and win by a hefty margin

From Oreste Granilo, Reggio Calabria Att:-5997

San Marino stunned recently relegated Reggina today, slaughtering them 7-0. Sylla scoring a wonderful hat trick, but Mr Drezzy was quick to play down the win, Insisting that Reggina were a fine team and that they hadn't played a pre season game yet, where as San Marino had

San Marino are through to the next round

Surprise package San Marino have been handed an away tie to Cagliari. Cagliari will be hoping for no shocks in the cup this season, as they look to solidify their Serie A status. meanwhile, San Marino will have nothing to lose, but maybe this will be a bridge too far
