July & August

Starting off the story with the pre-season friendlies to help the team gel together and to let the transfer signings work their way into the team and show me what each player can do.

Pre-Season Friendlies

At. Malagueno 0 - 3 Albacete
Albacete 0 - 2 America (MEX)
Albacete 1 - 1 Feyenoord
Roquetas 1 - 6 Albacete
Albacete 0 - 3 Napoli
Estepona 1 - 3 Albacete
Quintanar 2 - 2 Albacete
Hellin 1 - 1 Albacete

Taking it easy in the friendlies trying not to risk injuries and help the team gel together in the new formation and what each positions holds and whats expected of them. Some good results but against the bigger teams was disappointing.

Spanish Cup 1st Round

Albacete 3 - 1 Avila
('21) Molina
('31) Molina
('47) Nunez

Easy win for us in my official first game in charge especially as it was at home. I can see us going far in the competition if the draw does us a favor each time.
