Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 6-0 Breidablik (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 415057

View attachment 415056
We are 1 point ahead of 'Valur' after 5 games in the premier league.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 415055
'Thor Hauksson' was our best player this month. Despite not having great stats, he consistently puts in top notch performances and is my Mr reliable. It's also worth stating that he's never had an injury so far :D.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Can we get rid of our inconsistent form, and go on a long winning streak?
 
View attachment 414665

Our good form looks like it's coming back.
We win every game this month.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Fylkir (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 414646
A very good performance against a team we have struggled against in recent seasons.

Icelandic Premier League Table

View attachment 414644
We are already 7 points clear at the top, and look like running away with the league again.

**Valur have a new manager after 'Larus Orri Sigurdsson' became the new manager of Russian giants 'Zenit St Petersburg. Valur's new manager lost his first 2 games at his new club. I wonder if it's a sign Valur are going to crumble and no longer be my main (well only) competition.**

Player Of The Month

View attachment 414637
'Indridi Thorlaksson' was our best player this month.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Will we run away with the league?
The transfer window opens. Will there be any movements?
 
View attachment 414355

View attachment 414347

We are 10 points clear of 2nd placed 'Fram'. 'Valur' are not looking very good under their new manager and sit in 5th place.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 414345
The always reliable 'Thor Hauksson' was our best player this month.

Transfer Center

View attachment 414344
The only outgoing for a fee was 'Christian Johansson' who joins 'Tottenham' for a fee of ?1.8mil. 'Tottenham' were recently relegated from the premier league which comes as a bit of a shock.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Will there be any more transfer news to talk about.
Will we make the Champions League group stage, or have to settle for the Europa League?
Will we win the Icelandic Cup?

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-1 Stjarnan (Icelandic Cup Semi Finals)
View attachment 414211
We hit the woodwork 3 times in the first 25 minutes then 'Stjarnan' go and score, and I feared this would just not be our day. We managed the equalizer a few minutes before halftime. With the game looking like going to extra time the ever reliable 'Thor Hauksson' scores the winner for us with virtually the last kick of the game.

Ithrottafelag Reykjavikur 0-6 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Cup Finals)*****Finals*****

A good performance & result here, especially as I rested some key payers.

We win 4-2 on aggregate.
View attachment 414203
An amazing performance. I changed a few things tactically, and went with a more direct style of play which worked like a treat. We battered the opposition in every part of the pitch. We make the Champions League group stage :).

Keflavik 1-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 414202
A good performance to end the month as we win 3-1 against 'Keflavik'.

Icelandic Premier League Table

View attachment 414201
We are 9 points clear at the top of the league, and still have 2 or 3 games in hand over everyone else.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 414199
'Grimur Bjorn Atlason' was our best player this month. He's been a beast in defense.

Champions League Group Draw

View attachment 414197 View attachment 414196 View attachment 414215 View attachment 414195
Bayern Munich..........Ajax Amsterdam...................Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur.............Malmo FF

We were drawn 3rd seeds, and I feel this is a group we should definitely finish 3rd in. We are better than 'Malmo FF' and owe them a beating after they beat us in the 'Champions League' playoff round last year. 'Bayern Munich' should win this group easily, and I just can't see us finishing ahead of 'Ajax' having looked at their squad.

Youth Intake

View attachment 414194
This was the best player of the youth intake.. Not someone likely to make it for us. There were so many players with 2.5 star potential, and he was the only 3 star potential player. Either way it doesn't look like anyone from this years youth intake is ever going to be good enough to make it.

Transfer Center

View attachment 414193
Striker 'Sevinn Eliasson' leaves to join Italian side 'Torino' for a fee of ?350K. He was a decent player, but a bit inconsistent and decided to let him go.

What To Expect In The next Update
With the league basically ours, how many points will we win by?

September
An average month to end the domestic season.
We lose our first game in the Champions League group stage.
Injuries start to plague my squad :(

September Fixtures

Fylkir 2-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 413907
With nearly all my first team players on international duty I was forced to play a team almost full of reserves. Not much surprise we lost considering the players I was left with :@. We also lose 'Petur Orn Steindorsson' to injury, and he was one of the few non reserve players in the line-up.

News from the International break is that 'Grimur Bjorn Atlason' is out for up to 5 months with a broken ankle & Lars Martinez is out for up to 3 months with strained knee ligaments :@. That's both my first choice central defenders gone, lets just hope they don't decline too much :(.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-2 Valur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 413906
Valur manage to hold us to a draw. If we had managed to get the victory we would have conformed the title is ours.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-0 Tindastoll (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 413905
We now confirm the league is ours with a 3-0 over 'Tindastoll' who are probably going back down.

​Ajax 2-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League Group B)
View attachment 413917
We started of brightly, but after conceding via a dubious penalty we never looked like coming back into the game.. The penalty shouldn't have been given, and I was very critical about the referee in my post-match interview.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Fimleikafelag Hafnarjardar (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 413916
A very good performance here as we smash our rivals, who look destined for the drop. If 'FH' go down they could lose their professional status.

Haukar 1-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 413913
It was a pretty close game, but our unusually clinical finishing gave us a 3-1 win.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-0 Fjolnir (Icelandic Premier League)

A good performance as we record a 3-0 win.

Fram 1-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)

I played a much rotated side here, so i'm pleased to come away with the victory.

Right from the start it looked like we would run away with the league, and we've ended up winning it by 18 points. We actually won the league by 18 points last year as well.

Champions League Journey
We lost our first group game 2-0 at 'Ajax' shown in the September update. Here's how the rest of the group games went.
We also have a new feeder club :).
**Curtisson Park also opens in November, but we won't be playing in out new stadium just yet :D.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-0 Malmo FF (Champions League Group B)
View attachment 412473
A good win here. We need to take 6 point's from 'Malmo' so i'm happy we got the first 3 points without too much trouble.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-0 Bayern Munich (Champions League Group B)
View attachment 412472
I can't believe we beat the German giants. The best thing about it is we actually deserved the win. It wasn't a smash and grab victory. We defended so well and looked dangerous on the attack. Our goal came from 'Lars Martinez Olsson' in the 90th minute who had came on as a late sub only minutes before.

Bayern Munich 3-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League Group B)
View attachment 412470
Well, 'Bayern Munich' managed to get revenge beating us comfortably.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-1 Ajax (Champions League Group B)
View attachment 412469
I'm delighted to get the victory over the Dutch giants. The victory was even sweeter after a very aggressive pre-match war of words between myself and the 'Ajax' manager. We now have a chance of finishing 2nd. I need to beat 'Malmo' and hope 'Bayern Munich' either beat, or draw against 'Ajax'.
***Curtisson Park was officially opened today, so it was good to record a win against a quality side on this day***

Malmo FF 0-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League Group B)

We done what we needed with our 2-0 victory. Now we just needed 'Ajax' to drop points.

We done it!! We finished 2nd. 'Bayern Munich' beat 'Ajax' in the final group game meaning we get 2nd place, and into the knockout rounds we go. I am delighted with how we've performed in this group.

New Feeder Club Announced

KR Announce Relocation Complete

View attachment 411884
Finally, 4 years after plans were started, Curtisson park is finished and we are ready to move into our new home.

Facilities At Curtisson Park

View attachment 411883
* Our facilities are amazing for an Icelandic club, in fact a lot of clubs from the best leagues in Europe would love to have facilities like ours.
* We are the only Icelandic club with a stadium that boasts under-soil heating. The only other stadium in Iceland with under-soil heating is the 'Laugardalsvollur' which is the national stadium.
* Curtisson Park's capacity is 13,500 which might not sound very large, but for an Icelandic club this is very large.

A Brief Press Conference At Curtisson Park

Kristinn Asgeirsson - How excited must you be about the prospect of playing in this wonderful new stadium?
Anton Curtisson - It really is a wonderful stadium, and we are all looking forward to playing our games here.

Thordur Breiddal - Is there any part of you that will miss the old 'KR-Vollur'?
Anton Curtisson - I will certainly miss the 'KR-Vollur'. I think everyone associated with Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur will miss the 'KR-Vollur'. It has been our home for so many years, and we've had so many successful years there.

Thordur Breiddal - To have the new stadium named after yourself must be the best gift any manager can receive?
Anton Curtisson - It means so much to me. It was a massive shock to find out the stadium was going to be named in my honor. I've had 14 brilliant years here building a legacy & I plan to continue here until the day I retire.

Kristinn Asgerisson - Will you be seeing any star players leaving in order to balance the books?
Anton Curtisson - I won't be discussing any financial matters today, but what I will say is I have no plans to sell any of my star players.

Kristinn Asgeirsson - Thank you for speaking with us today Anton.

The Amazing Curtisson Park

We sell 'Patrik Fors' & 'Olafur Aron Thorvaldsson' for small fees. Both players were ageing and were not getting any game time, so it's not a surprise the fees were small.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Does our form continue?
Dow we make the Champions League group stage (Which I expect us to do)
Do we have a good youth intake?

Thanks :).
I just hope the big clubs don't come in for him anytime soon. I imagine it will be tough to keep hold of him in a few years time.
I really need another Icelandic club to start making the group stages in Europe to help me out if the country is to progress. I might have to start helping out Valur a bit as they're the 2nd best Icelandic team (**shudders at the thought of helping Valur**)

Haha. Post about it if you do, I'd like to see if it actually helps them or if its just wasting money. I think the best way to help clubs is to loan players because then you know it's direct but it's hard to specifically loan guys... Maybe build up your reserves with youngsters until they are good enough for the division and offer your players to domestic clubs only on loan/transfer

Our good form dies off.
A lot of draws this month, as our goals dry up a bit.
We make the Champions league group stage, but make hard work of it.
Another very average youth intake.

The 1-1 draw is enough to win the tie, as we 2-1 on aggregate and make the Champions League group stage. However I'm not happy with the manner in which we negotiated our way to the group stages. I expect better.

Valur 0-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)

Champions League Group Draw

View attachment 407896 View attachment 526764 View attachment 407982 View attachment 407895
Juventus..............Athletico Madrid............Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur..........Sparta Prague

We were drawn as 3rd seeds, and I feel we will probably finish 3rd place. 'Juventus' & 'Athletico Madrid' are both clearly better, but we are better than Sparta Prague.

Youth Intake

View attachment 407890
This was our best player of this years youth intake. I doubt he will make it for us. Just like last year we had a lot of players with 2.5 star potential. I've spent so much on our youth recruitment & youth facilities and it's fairly disappointing were not seeing any potential stars coming through.
