Abdinho's Champions' League Challenge

[REALaBDiNHo]

Welcome! I have decided to do a Champions League challenge in FM13 as I want to just win as much as I can. As you all probably know all be roaming across Europe trying to win Champions League with all the previous winners of the competition. Of course the team I will be starting with is my beloved

Juve!!!

Transfers:


In:
Ademilson 5.25 million pounds an absolute bargain hope he'll grow into an amazing player for the Bianconeri


Wellington Nem for 3.5 million pounds is an absolute steal he's already proved to be a skilled player up front in the preseason


Davide Santon: what can I say we need a full back and here he is! 16 million for him.




Out: No one was sold and only Andrea Leone was sent out on loan no future at Juve for him unfortunately.

Preseason




Juventus 6-1 Augsburg
Vucinic (3)
Marrone
Asamoah
Marchisio




Latina 0-1 Juventus
Marrone




Valenciennes FC 1-3 Juventus
Vucinic
Vidal
Asamoah




Frankfurt 1-4 Juventus
Wellington Nem
Barzagli
Pogba
Marchisio




AC Milan 0-1 Juventus
Giaccherini




The preseason has been great now crack on to the season we will win the Champions League!








Italian Super Cup


Juventus 2-0 Napoli
Vidal
Marchisio


Yahooo!! First trophy in the bag a sign of good things to come in my young managerial career?

Serie A
August

Our first game in the season is against Pescara at home couldn't have an easier start...

Juventus 2-0 Pescara
Vucinic
Vidal

There it is! First win of the season albeit against vastly inferior opposition, but three points are three points.

UEFA Champions' League Draw

Just my luck I guess. I of course get the hardest group out of them all with the German and Spanish champions in my group. Then again, Juve are Italian champions and my team will of course bring back respect to Serie A and be the pride of Italy and Turin once again.

September


Serie A


Atalanta 0-2 Juventus
Wellington Nem
Quagliarella


Good solid win, but could have won by more.




UEFA Champions' League Group F Matchday 1


In this match we were to be in front of our fans it was vital to get the three points to have a chance of winning the group


Juventus 3-1 Real Madrid
Marrone
Vucinic (2)


Yessss! My choice of Marrone was paid off after 7 minuted with an impecable header. Confidence is flowing and now I'm looking forward to the game at the Bernabeu.




Serie A


Juventus 2-1 Genoa
Vucinic
Ademilson


The positives were that we won and Ademilson got his debut goal, but we played the last 30 minuted nervouly after conceding to Borriello that I told my defence to give special attention. Not impressed...




Roma 1-3 Juventus
Vucinic(2)
Vidal


Great result 3 consecutive MOTMs from Marrone really playing amazing and keeping Asamoah out of the starting XI.








Juventus 2-2 AC Milan
Ademilson
Chiellini


I guess I'm happy with a draw in a game where we deserved to lose and the referee definetely did not help.




October




UEFA Champions' League Group F Matchday 2




Shakhtar 0-2 Juventus
Bonucci
Pirlo


Great performance from the lads 2 games to wins and thats what matters. The funny thing is that I felt like we would struggle to get out of the group and you know what? We are going to win the group if we go on like this!




Serie A


Catania 1-0 Juventus
NO ONE!!!


I am absolutely pissed off at the team there is no excuse for this... this crap.




UEFA Champions League Group F Matchday 3


Dortmund 0-0 Juventus


Kind of disappointed as it is the second game in a row without a win, but saw some positives for sure. They did have a goal disallowed though and so did we and I wasn't happy at all!




Serie A


Chievo Verona 1-4 Juventus
Vucinic(2)
Chiellini
Giaccherini


And there you go! We are back in form and are cruising.




November


Serie A

Juventus 2-0 Parma


Vucinic and none other then Vucinic!


Amazing performance from the team in front of the fans and amazing performance yet again from Vucinic.




Napoli 2-1 Juventus
Vucinic


Useless! Absolutely useless!




UEFA Champions' League Group F Matchday 4


Juventus 1-0 Dortmund
Wellington Nem




Through to the next round we go great play from the lads.




Serie A


Juventus 0-0 Siena


What the... Lichsteiner also got sent off! Luckily all the top 3 have also dropped points so we're level.


Player of the Post is... Mirko!

I was in desperate need of a left back and he has been amazing for me. I agree 16 million was a bit too much for him, but there was no one young with that much potential as a lb for 16 million. Considering how well I'm doing if I win Champions' League with Juve this season I'll be moving on anyway.

[samgenoa98]

love it so far...the top 5 or so in the league are really close...but i guess it'll change after the winter break

Thanks yeah the top 3-5 in all the leagues especially the premier league are really weird!

[REALaBDiNHo]

I live here in America so the next update will probably hit around 11 pm uk time on very busy. By the way any recommended signings I was given an extra 15 million and may get more for January.

[Bradlad9]

This is pretty good so far not sure about the lb :p but still, alaba is a quality left back :p can play nearly anywhere :p

[REALaBDiNHo]

I have decided to try a different approach to game posts please tell me if this is better or if the other way was.

Rest of November


Serie A




Fiorentina vs Juventus




Arrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh another tie come on pick it up!!!


UEFA Champions' League Group F Matchday 5

Here is the group as of now. All we need is a win against Madrid now or Shakhtar in Matchday 6 and we are officially group winners!



Real Madrid vs Juventus


Santiago Bernabeu



Gutted really we had a lot of chances and if you don't take them you will eventually get punished and that is what happened here.

Serie A

Back to domestic football!!!




Juventus vs Udinese

Really needed a win here go on boys...



The boys can be proud of their performance today against a Udinese team that was strong up front, but lacked the quality in the back.

And it just so happens...


Tables around Europe



I also forgot to add the Champions' League table in my last update sorry. Here it is with 5 matches played.
