Coruxo FM 11 : The End Of Season 2016

Hi everyone!

So the sun is finally out! So I am really enjoying the sunshine so I hope its just as nice where you live! I will bring the new post to my Coruxo story which will conclude season 2016.

If you remember from my last post we were having a better season as we were in 8th position after 15 games so did we manage to keep in the top half or did we slip down the league to relegation places?

Read on and find out!

January Results

So January is always a tricky month for me, balancing the sale of players and trying to settle the new ones usually means an inconsistant run which once again rang true. We started with a home point against Osasuna with Ibrahimovic scoring the equaliser.

I am really starting to hate Betis on my game, for some reason they always beat me home and away! We slumped to a poor four two away defeat  but bounced back with a great away win at Valencia with Karacan scoring a very rare goal.

A dissapointing home draw was then followed by a fantastic four zero victory of Real Sociedad, my right back Edu scored his first ever goal with Ibrah and Henrique both adding goals. Atienza completed the scoring with a fine header from a corner.

February Results

February was a really good month for my team as we claimed three wins, the first a comfortable away win against Getafe. The usual two of Henrique and Ibrah scored either side of a wonderful Pedro strike his first for Coruxo.

Vuckic scored a late winner to beat Tenerife and then scored twice as we beat Villarreal by four goals to one Atienza scoring two headers the first from a freekick the second from a corner. Defeat against Real Madrid was expected we didnt help ourselves giving away some very poor goals.

March Results

Xavi the manager of Sevilla!! One of the things I hate about this game but at least he admires me! However I think he led me on and I was thinking I had a chance with my dream man then his side beat me two zero! How could he! :)

Having gotten over that dissapointment, we then earned a hard earned point at the Nou Camp. Ibrahimovic struck twice as we came back from a goal down to beat Sporting and Denilson scored a rare goal as we beat Valladolid.  We completed the month beating Zaragoaza four goals to one and we remain is sixth place and a possible place in Europe.

April Results

Our quest for Europe nose dived in April after a series of pretty bad results, it started well enough as we got a great away point against Atletico Madrid and a point with fourth placed Almeria.

But a defeat at Bilbao followed another against, yes my curse team Real Betis but Atienza saved the final game of the month scoring twice as we beat Racing. I also made another transfer a freebie who joined the club straight away here he is :

Pablo Piatti

So the window may be closed but you can sign free transfers at any time and having the month we did I decided to bring Piatti to Coruxo to inject a little bit of quality.

He is a wide man who can play upfront but is more of a Messi type player than a winger he likes to cut inside and has a good left foot. Good pace and quite tricky he should be a good player for my team.

May Results

OMG! I hate this game at times! We missed out on Europe by a point and easily could have won all our games in May. Am not sure how we dint win at Espanyol as we hit the post three times and had two goals ruled out for offside, the same story at Osasuna but they scored two goals to compound my dissapointment.

We missed a late penalty against Valencia so could only draw but we were clinical at Gimnastic as we scored five times with a double from Sena and Henrique.

But it wasnt enough and in the end it was just more bad luck but at least we comfortably survived this season and can push on for the next one.

Final Player Ratings

So a look now at how my players fared this season as Atienza leads the way, a great defender who can pop up with some goals when we need them and is a threat from any ball cossed into the box.  Denilson is our playmaker and he does it very well and Henrique was very good again scoring 14 times.

Pedro and Piatti settled in very quickly and both performed well and Valiente was also fanastic at the back alongside Atienza. Sena struggled with his big money move but I have confidence in him and was very happy with most of players, Ibrahimovic had a pretty good season too scoring 16 times.

So thats it! In the end I was very pleased with my season but it would have been better if we had got to Europe but it just wasnt meant to be. At least we have a good squad to build on and have put our relegation fears behind us. Am hoping I can keep the players who are wanted and maybe add a few more quality players for next season.

Again thanks for reading and will post an update to my other story next time, bye bye!!
