I downloaded the tactic from FM-Base but I forgot who made it

Brave Hercules lose
Despite losing,I'm glad what the team showed this game.We took the lead against Real Madrid and we are only a Liga Adelante team.Isn't this great?I know we are going to be knocked out but I'm happy what the players showed in the cup games.Ivan Balege has been released from the U19s team.Danciulescu(€500,000) joins Hoffenheim and Pamarot(€150,000) transfers to Bordeaux.After those transfer THE WHOLE TEAM AND STAFF ARE SPANISH and I'm the only foreigner here.
Hercules crush Villareal ''B'
'A very easy game for us.Half-time I thought we were going to score 4-5 more goals,but the fact we didn't isn't important.Rodriguez was sold to Real Sporting for €1,000,000.I think that's a good deal for both teams.
Hercules being dominated and eliminated by Real Madrid
This was the last game for Sendoa.After the game he left Hercules to join Athletic club for
€240,000.He got injured(dead leg - 5 days).After I sold him I thought I would miss him but then I saw that His contract runs out in 30 June 2010.So I thought I can bring him back here for backup next year if I don't find another player for him position.About the game I knew that we were going to lose by 3-4 goals because we were playing as the away team against such a big club.

Good game.Both teams were cancelling each other out.A draw was most likely result at half-time.After half-time we made 3 goals and we went defending.Now that was a bad idea.Las Palmas almost equalized.They scored 2 goals and had to more chances to equalize and even turn the score around.After the game Raul Goni(CB.Zaragoza,€325,000) and Marc Muniesa(Barcelona,€1,200,000) joined us and Edu Moya transfered to West Brom for €1,000,000.

Albacete lucky to draw
24 January
View attachment 87627View attachment 87628
I'm surprised how lucky Albacete got this game but sometimes this happens in football too.At the beggining of the season I really wanted to play against them because they were 1st and I was 2nd and we had the same number of points.But in November Albacete's form dropped and they're now 6th.
Hercules maintain unbeaten run

Levante aren't in a good form this season.The media expected them to finish 6th,but they're now 12th.Even Real Union are in better position than them.In this game we had two times more goal-scoring opportunities than they had.

Raul
I think we could have won this game.We had most of the possesion and we hit the woodwork.Tote played really well.After the game I decided to active Raul's buy clause.I have offered him a contract and now waiting for his response.

Murcia are not an easy opponent but those 2 red cards just weakened them.Raul Goni is getting better and better.I forgot to mention that Raul(AML player on loan from Real Madrid) is gonna join us on a 5-year contract with €5,000 per week.
Hercules win on Petrov's birthday

Javier Portillo
Mate, I love you for this, really :wub: but you shouldn't have let Tiago Gomes go on loan, he is one of the better players in your squad behind Farinos. Instead of getting Sergi, I would have gotten Verratti and had Tiago tutor him since they are quite similar. Getting Camacho is a work of genius, really 
. Maybe play him as Box-to-Box with Farinos as a playmaker?
Still though, good luck and looks like you're well on your way to the Liga BBVA.

My goal is to win Champions League with ONLY SPANISH PLAYERS.So that's why I loaned Tiago Gomes out
Farinos is already playmaker.I'm going to try Camacho as box-to-box for 5 games

Salamanca go down 4-0 to Hercules
4 April
View attachment 87757View attachment 87758
No real surprise,Salamanca haven't won in 5 games,so now they make it 6 games.Camacho's 1st match as Box-to-Box midfielder.He was impressive(8.9 rating,1 goal).A lot of fouls in this game - 33
.
Hercules humiliate Celta
10 April
Another great performance from us.Celta's red card really weakened their defense.One of Celta's players had a rating of 3.3XD.Camacho's 2nd game as Box-to-Box midfielder and he's even better!(9.5 rating,2 goals)
Hercules lose to rivals Elche

View attachment 87762View attachment 87763
This time WE were humiliated.Fans hate when their team lose to their closest rival and in this case that rival was Elche.Last time we beat them 3-0 but now we lost.I think I did a little mistake in the half-time team talk.We didn't lose only the derby,we lost Muniesa too - he got injured(pulled harmstring - 4 weeks).Camacho's rating -6.8.
Hercules back with a win

Recreativo seem really weak this season,I had more respect for them(in the game,not in real life).Sergi got man of the match award and he deserved it.Camacho's rating - 7.0.
Hercules close to promotion

View attachment 87766View attachment 87767
We need to get just one more win and we are promoted to Liga BBVA.Camacho got a rating of 7.2 and I think from now on he'll always play as a Box-to-Box midfielder.Thank you taida for the advice

Hercules promoted to La Liga
I'm very happy we got promoted.We deserve it.We scored 4 goals but one in our net.Femenia today impressed me.In this game he scored his first hat-trick and got a rating of 9.6.Half-time I told him I have faith in his ability and that seemed to work.

Hercules fail to win after impressive performance
The best player was Rayo's goalkeeper - Cobeno who saved all of our goal-scoring opportunities.I thought David Aganzo was going to be threat for us but he didn't make big impact on the game and he was substituted half-time.Sporting Lisbon have decided to use Tiago Gomes' buy option and after short contract negotiations he accepted their offer and will join The ''Verde e Brancos'' on 1st July for €1,100,000.
Hercules defeat second-placed Sociedad
When I looked at Real Sociedad's team I noticed that most of their players used to be at their academy,so achieving second place with youth players is great,I would never do this.
Their best player is Xabi Prieto.At the beggining of the season Arsenal were interested in him,but ''Erreala'' managed to keep him.

After the game I saw that their main striker Ruben Navarro was playing for us last year and Esteban Vigo decided to sell.In my opinion that was a bad deal for the team although Portillo is better.I don't know what to say about this match.Farinos was man of the match because of his two goals.

I think this was a good season for Carayud.His best game was against Real Madrid for Copa Del Rey,when we were the home side.He saved 9 shots on target from players like Kaka,Cristiano Ronaldo,Benzema...But I don't think he's good enough for Liga BBVA and I will seek a replacement for him.If I find a replacement I'm sell him Catayud because he won't probable handle the fact that he won't play anymore as 1st keeper.

Hercules begin pre-season with a win
Nice way to start the season.Raul was the best player this game(8.8 rating).I was worried that Kiko Femenia might have a long-term injury but it's only a dead leg(5 days).I guess Catalayud will remain our first-choice goalkeeper because I can't find a good and cheap keeper for our team.
Another pre-season win for Hercules

I'm happy we defeated Racing because they have quality for La Liga and that shows that we can do well this season in Liga BBVA.
3 games,3 wins

Great performance by Juanra.It seems he hasn't given up to be first-choice right back but he needs to do more to convince me to make him first-choice again.He made the assist for our goal and he stopped most of Rayo's attacks.
First lost game for Hercules in pre-season

Despite losing,I'm content with our performance.The early red card really weakened us and it stand in our way.At least we managed to keep the score for 43 minutes wich is almost half game.

I was a bit dissapointed that we lost the win in the last minute of the game but it's still pre-season and performance is more important than results.I also signed Juanmi for €2,200,000(17 year old striker,Malaga and when I compared his stats to Portillo's stats I saw that they are both simillar!

Hercules finish draw with Celta

I'm surprised that Abraham Paz missed the penalty because he has penalty taking stat of 16.Still,a draw is a decent result and I'm looking forward to my first game in La Liga against Real Madrid.After the game I bought Ruben De la Red for €3,000,000 and sold David Pena(regen) for the same price to Barcelona.

Did this really happen?

I just can't believe how lucky we got this game.That's why I love football - you never know what will happen.Real Madrid dominated the whole game and just got unlucky not to defeat us.In the first half we didn't play bad.When Raul Goni got his red card,things got worse - Los Merengues' attacks doubled and we were barely hanging on the draw.In the 82th minute Raul got one-one against Catalayd and our keeper had no chance.Then Magic happened.Two attacks - two goals.Then we started operating really defensively and we again got lucky not to concede any more goals. Mahamadou Diarra,Metzelder and Drenthe were injured and didn't play in this game.
Hercules with another surprising win

I didn't know that we good so good at away games.It seems pre-season friendlies helped ua achieve it.We completely dominated Espanol like they were some weak Liga Adelante team.Cristian didn't had a good game.He missed a penalty and all of his shots were off target but I still have faith in him.

It was a game where we dominated again but we failed to win but I think we deserved to win more than they did.Both teams' keepers were on form today and they saved all shots on target.Both teams hit the woodwork two times.A draw is still a decent result,all points you get in La Liga are valuable.
Hercules lose

I think a draw would be a fair result for both teams.Raul Goni got a red card again.He tried to stop Iker Muniain who passed Goni and got one-one with the goalkeeper and at least this saved us from losing with one more goal.Goni's red card gives opportunity for Abraham Paz to play.
Hercules win in an easy game

When it was pre-season we played against them and they were a lot better.Now it was like the game vs Espanol - we completely dominated.I'm sure that Rayo will have a difficult season if they keep playing this.I expected more threat from them

I was disappointed that we lost this game.When we were leading at half-time I thought that we can keep the score until the final whistle but that didn't happen.At least we showed that we play good football against teams with bigger reputation.
Hercules back with a win

'm glad we won.I guess this year my maximum expectations are to finish between 5th-8th place.Our central midfielders De la Red and Camacho played really well.Farinos is unhappy because he isn't a first team regular anymore.His contract runs out this season so I might sell him along with Jorge Alonso.
Hercules with another 3-1 win

Another good game for us.I hate when our opponents have 1 shot on target and 1 goal just like this match but this didn't stop us from winning.I promised the board that I will stay clear of relegation zone but it seems I'm going finish in the top half.
Fans pleased with win over rival

I let some of the substitutes play this game it seems they did well.Elche's red was a real disadvantage for them and it helped us a lot to get this comfortable win.Now it will be hard for them to eliminate us.
Hercules get draw after goals galore

I just can't believe how we failed to win.How is it possible to lead 4-1 and then the opponent to draw 4-4?This is terrible.I want to forget about this game as soon as possible
