Alaves Season Preview
Huge changes to the squad with 8 player brought in to the starting 11 since Juste took over


Targets
League - Promotion
Spanish Cup - Beat any team outside the top 2 leagues
Federations Cup - Winner




Summer News
Alaves & Real Sociedad "B" sell up while Mirandes buy lots of players.
Installing A huge Name like Juste see's us 2nd favorites behind Salamanca. Elbar and Pongerradina expected to be up there too.




Pre Season fixtures


Pau FC 0-3 Alaves

Bilbao Ath 2-4 Alaves

Alaves 1-2 Besiktas

AS Pontonx 2-5 Alaves

FC Bas 1-6 Alaves

JA Daz 2-1 Alaves



Never had a settled team this was just getting used to the formations

GK - Fan Qiong

The Chinese keeper was a Juventus youth player and with 10 caps will hopefully add some extra income.




DR - Eduardo Costa
View attachment 358142


The clubs best wing back joined from rivals Real Sociedad B




DL - Mikel Madariaga
View attachment 358143


One of the few players to survive the cut from Juste. Onlybecause there was no better Left backs willing to join.




DC - Chidoka Kalala
View attachment 358144


My favorite signing so far. Arrived with less than a hour left of the Window.


DC - Tomas Berjon
View attachment 358145


Villareal B player added for some depth and makes me happy with our defense for now.




MC - Luca Kohlbacher
View attachment 358146


I offered 100's of contracts to midfielders and this was the only one willing to join us




MC - Asier Guruzeta
View attachment 358147


My best youth prospect helped into the team with our inability to sign midfielders.




MC - Andoni Franco
View attachment 358148


Another youth player propping up our weak spot




MR - Yassine Yidirim
View attachment 358149


A fellow B league team were giving this guy away. Crazy!




ML - Omar Elana
View attachment 358150


Omar was my 1st signing for Alaves




AT - Abraham Sarabia
View attachment 358151


Sarabia will have to fight with Xabier Arribas to keep his starting striker status




Depth after the 1st 11 is awful and we'll be relying heavily on the youth team which trust me is no better. The Center of midfield is our biggest weakness. I couldn't get anyone in there not through want or try! Hopefully the better players asking for higher wages will still be free and more willing to join us. Even the worst Aberdeen u19's didn't want to join Alaves

Sent out a weaker team to be ready for Madrid on Wednesday but we didn't show it.




Champions League Match 1

A dead even game where a draw was the right result. I may not say the same thing if we had not fought back from behind for the point.

McCulloch 3
Durmaz
Herder


European hangover! Not likely!

One sloppy performance against Real Union otherwise it was a perfect start with two massive wins along the way.

Holland




Squad
Cornelissen Still not fit enough to return and is joined on the sick list by Van Beek




World Cup Qualifier Match 9
Poland 1-1 Holland
Loeffen


That point should be enough to secure the group unless Austria can turn a massive goal difference and we loose at home to Bulgaria

World Cup Qualifier Match 10
Holland 4-1 Bulgaria
Beentjes
O'G
Van Eeuwijk
De Bie


A comfortable ending to our qualifying campaign. Austria get 2nd but Liechtenstien and Polands performances are the surprises

I cant stand playing them every season. Maybe we'll stop drawing each other and we'll both be happy!
 

October




Kilmarnock ensure there wont be a unbeaten season
Big away wins in the Champions League
Comfortably into League Cup Semi's


Fixtures




Champions League Match 2
Koln 3-4 Aberdeen
McCulloch 2
Coutts
Essomba


This game woke me up! We were 3-0 up and cruising but a missed penalty from Coutts inspired Koln to make a awesome comeback. Sadly for them we can't afford to drop any more points so came up with a last gasp winner.

View attachment 358504




Aberdeen 1-2 Kilmarnock
Coutts


Talk about lucky! We had 2 goals disallowed and Kilmarnock had 2 questionable goals. Another season without a 100% or unbeaten season. Oh and the 84th minute winner scored by Daniel Ormsby who was never good enough to get a game for Aberdeen




Motherwell 0-3 Aberdeen
Soldan
Luys
Novosel


A weaker team than the one that played Killie but a easy win. The highs and low of the SPL!




Champions League Match 3
Macabi Haifa 2-5 Aberdeen
McCulloch
Coutts
Herder
Sneddon
O'G


Aside from Macabi's two late consolations we were in total control

Hearts made us work for the win with there 1 shot on goal!




Scottish League Cup Q/F

Not the easy run to the top i was thinking we'd have. 2 defeats including a thrashing at Palencia

November


Perfect month in the league. Defense still a bit leaky
Defeat in Madrid probably ends our chance to win the group but were already through to the last 16
Hibs sack Calum Elliot & replace him with Mothewell's James Tomkins and Motherwell appointing Scott Carson as there new boss.


Fixtures




Champions League Match 4
Aberdeen 6-0 Macabi Haifa
Coutts 2
Jovic
Durmaz
Herder
Sneddon


Great win that will help out our goal difference


Both the Dons & At Madrid are through. The next match may decided in which order we go through

Aberdeen 6-1 Hibs
Herder
Essomba
McCulloch 3
Durmaz


McCulloch was on fire again. More of the same against evil neighbors United. Hibs sacked manager Calum Elliot after the match.




Aberdeen 4-1 Dundee Utd
McCulloch
O'G
Jovic
Sneddon


A nice warm up for the decider with Madrid




Champions League Match 5
At Madrid 2-1 Aberdeen
Carrera


We finish 2nd but it could have been so different. Very disappointing to have lost after taking a lead which lasted minutes but Madrid did edge the game and were maybe just worthy of the win. This was Daniel Monnards 600th Game for Aberdeen

Our record is perfect away from that Kilmarnock game while Celtic may be finally looking like a solid 2nd place team after a great start.




Player of the month
Luis Carrera
<A Bit Camera Shy>
His goal in Madrid tops of a great month for the wing back even if it wasn't enough to win it for us.

Screuder, Meijer, Veldman, Stevens & Renato Costa all out injured

Thanks but I'll NEVER get as high as 6! 4 is the utter maximum but im pretty sure im going to settle on 3. Im getting on fine with the 2 so far 3 shouldnt be too bad but might have 4 for a few season to get the 3 league divisions like Spain, Brazil ect out of the way quicker

May 2020 Champions League Final
Bayern 2-3 Aberdeen
View attachment 358737


Was going to make it the 8-3 win against Rangers or the 9-0 Cup final win but this was a life time ambition of mine to win the Champions League with Aberdeen so this was and will be the highlight.


Link to the final match.

Low point in the story.
No competition in the SPL


Its a shame how every season i reached a point where i lost a game in the SPL and then there was nothing else to do domestically except cruise to the title.



Other Highlights
Also if you want to check out my highlights there all on the opening post along with plenty other stats and records about my story.


Finally a massive thanks to everyone who has read and especially those who have contributed through comments and private messages who have encouraged me to keep going and making the post better.

The defending champions and World No1 team will host the tournament as they bit to win the title on home soil like in 1934




Group draw
Once again i went flying through the news and missed the groupo draw


Group D
View attachment 358681

A group fully of underdogs. Russia & Ivory Coast are the top teams from there part of the world while Iran should be a walkover. Very confident of reaching the knock out stage as you would expect.

You have done something i have dreamed about since the 90's also, although i know our two teams have had there differences (i hate neil simpson lol)

I am truly amazed and serious congrats on your success with this dude!! I wasn't a reader when you won your first but i've been with you for the last two and watching you do it shows me that maybe i can take my beloved team to it also, the one thing i have never done with them is win the UCL!!

You sir are an inspiration and im glad there isn't a story of the season comp anymore because choosing between you and Mojo's would be impossible!!
 
The 100 page mark, congratz, this is easily my favorite story on the site! :) also it was fun looking trough the highlights post :)
