January 2014
I select a new expectation – Top Half Finish. I thought about taking it to EURO Cup, but that’s just 1k a week more in budget, not worth the gamble. My budget has been raised considerably.
January 3rd – Home vs Vit. Guimaraes, Taca de Portugal
January 12th – Home vs Beleneses
January 15th – Away at Braga, League Cup 3rd Phase Group A
January 19th – Home vs Sporting
January 25th – Away vs Arouca, League Cup
So three Cup matches and two league ones.
These people impressed – Freire, Marion Rondon and Joao Aurelio
Messi wins World Golden Ball, Cristiano Ronaldo is 2nd and Neymar was 3rd.
Kevin Volland, 21 years, was the Golden Boy of European Football.
An Arouca player got Player of the Month, and Mario Rondon came in second. I came in 3rd in league voting this month for Manager of the Year.
My scout in Romania added a youth player to our list and I checked him out – Andrei Marc, he’s pretty solid as a DC. Just 20 years old. His contract is up in 6 months. He might be my target for DC.
On the first we officially sign Matias Defederico. He’ll arrive next year.
The next day I make an offer to Andrej Marc, since he’ll sign for a lesser amount. I accept a transfer offer for Claudemir from Panathinaikos.
I extend my contract for a year with Madeira.
