17 Games Into Season 2020/21

Hello!

Welcome to my new post and welcome to season 2020! We began the season with a two legged tie in the Spanish super cup final against the team that beat us last year in both the league and cup Atletico.

We were missing a few players due to a few pre-season knocks but was confident I could win this trophy, so lets have a look at the results!

We let ourselves down in both legs, and is was Mario Ballotelli who scored all 4 goals for Atletico! We just couldnt contain his power and pace, but we also didnt get started.

Was a shame to get to a cup final and then play so badly but I am still confident we could get a good start in la liga.

Two 4-0 wins gave us confidence,  and we then won 12 games in a row until, you guessed it!!, Balotelli struck a superb free kick to inflict our first defeat of the season.  We stuttered a little picking up a draw against both Sevilla and Valencia but we beat Barcelona and hammered Real Madrid!

So a great start to the season, having a one point lead over Barcelona. Goals have flowed and our defence has been really good, we are playing really well at the moment.

Champions League And Spanish Cup

The group was good, but contained Tottenham a team we have beat before. We qualified but our final group game was a huge shock! We lost 3-0 at home to a very poor Torino side, I made changes but I really didnt expect that! We meet German table toppers Leverkusen who are top of the Bundesliga.

No real surprise but Kramaric was injured pre-season so was nice to give him these games to get fit and to grab a few goals. We meet Murcia who are a really tough side to beat, but am fairly confident we can progress over two legs.

Player Ratings

Well Castaignos continues to perform well scoring 20 times in 25 games from his attacking midfield role. Kramaric is also scoring after returning from an injury and Vandinho and David remain big threats. Am a little dissapointed with Bisaku our centre half but am confident he will improve once he settles down.

So thats that! My new post and am confident of winning at least one trophy. My main aim is to try and win the champions league but I also want to try and regain the la liga title. My squad has already proved to be good enough so  I have high hopes this season!!:)
