JANUARY


Coppa Italia 1st Round
Roma 0
Sassuolo 3 (Zaza 20, 73, Schelotto 30)

Almost as good as the 5-1 win away to Inter this. Our away performances continue to be top notch.

--

Sassuolo 4 (Marrone 22, Ziegler 74, 77, Berardi 90pen)
Torino 3 (Larrondo 12, 59, Immobile 51)

What a thriller. Somehow we found ourselves 3-1 down despite dominating but we kept plugging away and got the points thanks to a penalty in stoppage time. Berardi also had one disallowed moments beforehand.


--

AC Milan 3 (Balotelli 8pen, Cristante 19, El Shaarawy 48)
Sassuolo 3 (Berardi 22, 78, Masucci 49)

I am so proud of my players here. Getting a point away to AC Milan is pretty good but to come from behind 3 times to get it makes it all the sweeter.

--

Sassuolo 2 (Acerbi 27, Berardi 67)
Catania 2 (Cacia 24, Spolli 57)

We didnt hit the target near enough here and that proved to be costly.

--

Coppa Italia QF
Lazio 1 (Gonzalez 90)
Sassuolo 4 (Terranova 13, 45, Berardi 40, 88pen)

Another magnificent performance against Lazio here. They had a goal disallowed but we were excellent throughout.


--

Atalanta 3 (Antonelli 8, Livaja 45, 70)
Sassuolo 0

OUCH!!!! After so many brilliant away performances we were long overdue a shocker. I have a soft spot for Atalanta so I am pleased that they inflicted it.


--

Sassuolo 2 (Berardi 56, Benalouane og80)
Parma 2 (Sau 64, Cassani 82)

This game was there for the taking but we were sloppy going and they had a goal disallowed too.

SUMMARY

Another strong month that has seen us pretty much establish a Champions League spot and move into the Coppa Italia semis where we will play Verona. We are only 4pts behind Juventus but we surely cant overtake them and as I have said before I dont want too!!!!

Now I am thinking if I can win the league with this lot in the first season then I will have to scrap the story and do a lower league challenge or summat. Enjoying the save though!!!

Anywho transfer wise I brought in Huerelho Gomes from Spurs on a free transfer as my No1 keeper got injured.

Nobody was sold (mainly because I dont have ownership rights to half my squad) and I rejected several bids for Berardi with the highest being ?9m.

FEBRUARY


Livorno 1 (Gemiti 22)
Sassuolo 2 (Missiroli 59, Zaza 68)

A decent win - Berardi had 2 goals disallowed.

--

Coppa Italia SF 1st Leg

Sassuolo 5 (Berardi 12, 41, Marques og51, Arrigoni 74, 77)
Verona 1 (Laner 10)

I think it is safe to say that the final beckons for us. Missiroli got 3 assists and deserves a mention.

--

Sassuolo 4 (Berardi 28, 43pen, 85, Laribi 48)
Cagliari 1 (Ibarbo 30)

Domenico Berardi is a beast!!!! God knows how good he will be when he fully develops. Hopefully I can muster enough cash to bring him in permanently.

--

Coppa Italia SF 2nd Leg
Verona 3 (Longo 2, Hallfredsson 16, Romulo 65)
Sassuolo 1 (Gazzola 82)
(Agg - 4-6)

I must admit at 3-0 down with 25min to go I thought we had ****** it up but we got a goal back and held on. Juventus await in the final.

--

Sampdoria 0
Sassuolo 0

They had 26 shots - we had 3. We got away with this one!!!!

--

Sassuolo 3 (Berardi 15pen, 27pen, Zaza 51)
Chievo 1 (Paloschi 20)

SUMMARY


We kept plugging along this month with some fine results and progression to the Coppa Italia final. My youngsters are doing a fine job and I can only pray that I can keep Marrone and Berardi permanently however it was Tommaso Arrigoni who really impressed this month.

We have managed to reduce the gap that Juventus have by 1pt and we are 8pts clear of 3rd place. Champions League footy is beckoning!!!!

Parma sack Donadoni

 
I reckon a lower league save is around the corner!! :P. Well done though mate, doing extremely well.
 
FFS

I played on today and came 2nd and won the cup. this is annoying me big time.

i will think of a new story that i can get my teeth into. maybe a champions league challenge or a lower league challenge as i do like my 1 club challenges!
 
Interesting......................

Northern club that plays in black and white means its kinda similar to a certain team i support lol

Yeah plus they a team tht have suffered so much they were even kicked out of the town and now play In bishop Auckland so wpuld be great challenge for u
 
Why don't you play in Belgium 3rd league, only 1 star rating, plus Belgium are the up and coming national team at the moment! I definately would like to see you play as a lower league team. :D
 
Cant decide really. I must admit I am struggling to get into FM 14. I want a long term save with one club but before I decide I may just try the Champions League Challenge (makes sense since I thought of it lol)
 
Just started watching this, Suprised you didn't go for Mario Pugliese first season, absaloute star for me, Italian and avaliable for ?650k first season!

Don't stop the story after one season. You havent won the league, you've got champs league football. try make some signings and keep you up the league. Don't stop because its "too easy". Turn Sassulo into a European Force.

same as me, this game is really boring
 
At the moment i am considering Lecce, Aberdeen, Newcastle (not much of a challenge but they are my loved ones lol) and Nice.

Will have a look at some Eastern European teams
 
I'd like you to do a lower league save that is with a club that no ones heard of before or knows little about, in a different country! Or something like Boavista and turn them into the giants they once were! A few ideas to help hopefully! :)
 
still considering a team

had a look at Anderlecht, Boca Juniors and Honved

My friends dad played for Honved and he (my friend) played for their academy until he moved here to England so that'll be interesting.
