RB Leipzig 2018/19 Season

March 2019
March 2019.png
We had a good month with 3 wins and 1 draw in the league as well as progressing in the Champions League. The victory against Bayern was probably the highlight of the month after it looked as if Bayern were heading for the win until 2 goals in the last 10 minutes secured the 3 points for us an excellent comeback which helped peg back Bayern, narrowing their gap to 4 points at the top. Vietto seemed to be stepping up in the big games after netting against Bayer 04, Bayern and Porto and lets hope he ends the season in this sort of form. We also progressed into the Quarter Finals of the Champions League after winning the tie 3-1 on aggregate. After the game we found out who we had drawn in the next round, none other than the Barcelona. Manager LukeWH94 expressed his thoughts on drawing Barcelona and said "this is an unbelievable tie and one in which the Liepzig fans will enjoy. This is what the Champions League is all about and we will be hoping to pull off one of the shocks of the season"


April - May 2019
April-May 2019.png
This was the deciding period in the title race with Bayern holding the edge over us in the final couple of games of the season. We won every game in the league throughout April, we couldn't afford to slip up, we had to match Bayern's results and hope that they slip up somewhere. We were comfortable in this month with the exception of the game against Hamburg which although we won 3-2. the team showed signs of fatigue as we had played more matches than most of our opponents this season. Draxler continued his brilliant form this season as well as Vietto who is coming into form at the right time. We had to play our youngsters in a few games due to cup commitments but they put in a string of solid performances and doen themselves proud. The Champions League came to an end after Barcelona beat us 2-1 on aggregate and I feel hard done by after we had chance after chance but just couldn't score. We limited Barca to 2 or 3 chances and fair play to them, they took 1 and it decided the tie. I'm so proud of my players though, I felt we were fantastic not only in this game but throughout the competition. What people forget is that was our first season in the elite competition and we done the club and the fans proud and have really put RB Leipzig on the map. We made it to our first Deustcher Pokal final after a 1-0 victory of Schalke 04. It was a really good cup tie with both team going all out for the win in front of a terrific atmosphere. Schalke set the tone in the early stages after a couple of strong challenges angered the RB Leipzig players and things may have been difference had Schalke scored form the spot. Calhanoglu scored the only goal of the game curling a shot from the edge of the area which sent the RB Leipzig into their first Deutcher Pokal under LukeWHU94.

May was the deciding month, with 2 games to go Bayern were in the driving seat, it was theirs to lose and could clinch the title with one game to go. We had a tricky test away to Drotmund who have a terrific record against us and we gave it everything. We really went for it and had our chances but just were not clinical in front of goal. We dominated the game in possession,creating many chances in the process but Dormtund held on for the 0 - 0 which gave Bayern the title. However Bayern wanted to win it in style and close the season with 2 victories which saw them win the league by 6 points. We achieved the aim that the board set us of Champions League football for a second season and my personal aim of challenging for the title now we just need to kick on next season and try to compete with Bayern again next season. We did have a cup final against Hoffenheim to look forward to though and we were ready. The first 45 minutes of the game didn't see too many chances but in the opening minutes of the second half Hoffenheim were awarded a penalty, the Leipzig fans couldn't believe it. Erick Torres stepped up and hit a good penalty but only to be denied by Oliver Baumann who sprung to his left to tip the spot kick over the bar. A couple of minutes later and the man of the moment Luciano Vitto scored the winner slotting past the keeper to give Leipzig their second piece of silverware in 2 seasons.

RB Leipzig 2018/19 Player of the Season Award
Simone Scuffet.jpg
Simone Scuffet - 24 League Clean Sheets
This years player of the season has to be Simone Scuffet was sensational this season after keeping 24 clean sheets in the Bundesliga and was vital in our success this season as well as not conceding a goal in the cup either but was unfortunately picked up an injury in training, ruling him out of the final. I had decided on the winner of this award about 2 months ago which shows how well the young keepers performed. Still only 22 years old he is yet to reach his prime so there is no telling how good this boy can be. We rejected a huge bid of £40,000,000 from an unamed Bundesliga club and we will do the same next season as well.


Club News
Julain Draxler - I am sorry to break the news to te fans that Julian Draxler has decided not to extend his contract with the club. We offered him terms that put him in the elite bracket at this club in terms of wages. The most dissapointing part of this is the player going public saying that he is too big for the club which is not only disrepectful to this great club but to me and his team mates and myself and the board have decided that it is best to offload the player in the new season. Any offer that meets the£50,000,000 valuation we have of the player will be accepted.
Next Season - I have been in discussion with the board discussing next season and we have come to an agreement on the transfer budget avaliable. We decided £21,000,000 is a fair amount to meet the mimmum aims of Champions League football and progression to the quarter finals of the Desutcher Pokal and knockout stage of the Champions League.

West Ham United - Episode #111: Our Theater of Dreams!

In this episode, we break into the Barclays Premier League in defense of our title at home against Queens Park Rangers, before we get a massive international job offer. Following that huge news, we head up north to take on Manchester United and give one of our youngest starlets his debut in the biggest of fixtures!

Olympique de Marseille


August 2015





Girondins de Bordeaux 0 - 0 Olympique de Marseille

We started off the season in very dull fashion against a solid Bordeuax side. There were only four shots in the whole game and neither team managed to create anything too dangerous.





Olympique de Marseille 2 - 0 AJ Auxerre
Alessandrini 15' pen, Batshuayi 47'
Aguilar s/o 13'

We didn't perform too well in our first home fixture but we still managed to beat Auxerre. Auxerre's Aguilar got sent off only 13 minutes into the game after a harsh challenge on Paul-Georges Ntep. Romain Alessandrini stepped up to take the penalty and he scored the winning goal from the spot. Right after Auxerre's kick off in the second half Michy Batshuayi stole the ball and went ahead to score.





Qualifying Round, 1st Leg
Olympique de Marseille 5 - 0 Randers FC
Niang 22', 72', Paredes 76', 86', Ntep 90'

We were superior in the first leg of the Europa League qualifier against the Danish Randers FC. Mbaye Niang was the star of the show with his brace and two assists. The Frenchman put us into the lead in the 22nd minute with a tap in and half an hour into the second half he curled the ball beautifully into the bottom left corner from a counter attack. Only four minutes later Leandro Paredes scored the third with a tap in and he got his brace ten minutes later with a powerful near post shot. In stoppage time P-G Ntep finished the fifth of the night from a counter attack to almost secure our place in the group stage.





OGC Nice 0 - 1 Olympique de Marseille
Alessandrini 76' pen

We struggled once again in league play and this time it was against Nice. Both teams failed to create many chances and at the end Romain Alessandrini decided the game from the penalty spot fifteen minutes before the fulltime whistle.





Qualifying Round, 2nd Leg
Randers FC (0) 0 - 3 (8) Olympique de Marseille
Niang 13', Johnsson OG 31', Ntep 87'

Randers didn't have a change of qualifying coming into this game and our second squad did everything that was needed once again. Mbaye Niang scored his third goal in two Europa League games in the 13th minute after intercepting a poor pass. At the half an hour mark Jordan Amavi's ground cross got puched into the goal by Randers' keeper Johnsson. Few minutes before the end Ntep scored the third with a tap in to finish a beautiful and long passing move.





Olympique de Marseille 2 - 0 Toulouse FC
Gignac 32', Alessandrini 71'

This was the first league game where we looked alright. Andre-Pierre Gignac put us into the lead in the 32nd minute in his comeback debut with a tap in. It then took 40 minutes for us to double our lead thanks to Romain Alessandrini's shot that got through the defender's legs.


Player of the Month



Romain Alessandrini

Our vice-captain is the first Player of the Month after good performances in every game he appeared in. His dribbling, speed, skill and passing abilities make him a dangerous player in the attack and he scored half of our league goals this month.


Europa League Group

Austria Wien

20. Stade Reims, 0 pts


My Thoughts

Departures - Kadir and Sarr were sold because we didn't need them in the team. Barrada was sold because Manchester United met our asking price of €20 million while his worth was €6,5 million. Mandanda left the team because he 'was too big for the team'. In addition two (low 60s) players were released by the club.

Arrivals - We completed a ton of signings in the window. Enyeama arrived to replace Mandanda in goal, Capoue arrived to add quality to our double pivot, Yanga-Mbiwa came to make our defence better, Gignac was bought because I wasn't happy with Batshuayi, Niang came for squad depth and so did Marcos Lopes and Paredes, Ntep arrived to play as our starting right winger and finally Amavi arrived to be our backup LB.

Form - We have been poor in the league. A draw and three wins isn't bad, especially when we didn't concede a single goal, but our attacking game hasn't been good at all. five goals in four games isn't good enough for a team that wants to play in the Champions League. It could be just that me and the players are getting used to the new team.



Thank you for reading this post! I hope you have enjoyed it! Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated!

Oh no, you were so close! Finishing in second is still very good and you did well in the Champions League, it's always tough to play against Barca. I was a bit surprised that you didn't have anyone scoring that many goals. I'm looking forward to the next season!

And despite actually drawing level with Mancherster united in 5th position, the board did not feel comfortable with me at the healm. It is a sad time, as I felt the club was starting to get better, but this has been a very difficult job from the start. I am pleased to tell you however that Leicester City requested a new manager to help their promotion hopes back to the Premier League and I have taken the job. I am looking forward to my new role and am hoping to have better luck this time around. Many thanks for reading. Any comments or suggestions are very welcome

That's EA logic for you right there. It's a shame that you got sacked (even though you should've been hailed as a hero). I'm looking forward to your adventures with Leicester. I've always been hoping for someone to do a career with them.

Bologna S01 Spoiler February We started the month with a trip to Juventus for the first leg of our TIM Cup semi-final. Maietta gave away a penalty in the first half that Tevez put away, but we were really solid for the rest of the match and didn't let the score go past 1-0. Unfortunately, we couldn't add any goals to our side either. We had a 2-1 win at Livorno next with Laribi scoring twice, including a late winner. This was followed by a 1-1 draw with Terni and a 2-1 win over Cittadella, both at home with Laribi scoring all three of our goals. We ended the month with a 2-0 win at Vercelli thanks to goals from Bešić and Morleo. March The first game was our second TIM Cup semi-final leg. We were sensational in the first half but kept out over and over by Buffon. It looked like we were going to get a late goal to take the match into extra time when Pogba just smashed in this long shot that dipped in past Da Costa. It hurts to go out so close to the final, but we did very well this season in the cup. We made up for the loss by thrashing Crotone 4-0 at home, Mancosu scoring a brace to end his 8-game drought. We had Douglas sent off in a 0-0 draw at Vicenza before beating Avellino 1-0 and Modena 2-1. We ended the month top of the table with 72 points, Catania behind us on 67 and Bari third on 65! April With just seven games left in the season for the top three teams, we had to win 18 of the 21 points left to guarantee the title under any circumstances. In April we started with a 2-0 win over Pescara, Bernardeschi scoring after a long dry spell. We travelled to Carpi and won 2-1 thanks to Mancosu and Sansone scoring a couple of peachy free kicks, but we had a tight 1-0 loss at home to Bari that added a bit of spice to the run-in. We beat Catania 2-1 away from home with some ease, ending the month with 81 points and three games left to play. Bari are on 77 and Catania on 70, which means we have guaranteed promotion to Serie A but need to get 5 more points to win the title. May The month started with a trip to Chiavari, where we went 2-0 down before halftime with Bari winning 4-0 at Pescara. We managed to come back strong and win 3-2 thanks to goals from Bešić, Mancosu and Zuculini. We then travelled to Perugia, where a 2-1 win with goals from Cornet and Bernardeschi sealed the title. Bologna have been named champions of Serie B! We will compete in the top flight next season along with Bari and Catania, while Sassuolo and Cesena will be relegated alongside either Parma or Empoli. For the final match of the season, we hosted Brescia in a 2-0 win thanks to a Cornet brace to finish with 90 points from 42 games. Season Wrap Matteo Mancosu top-scored for us with 24 in all competitions, and Daniele Cacia was our assists leader with a total of 12. Angelo Da Costa kept 14 clean sheets to win the Golden Glove award. Ramiro Cáseres was in top form for Catania to lead the Serie B goals and assists with 21 and 14. We have four player of the year candidates. You can vote for them at http://strawpoll.me/5198477 and check out the squad review below while I prepare the transfers and preseason report for 2015/16. GK Angelo Da Costa grew +2 overall, but he's 31 and prone to errors. We have a promising GK coming in so I plan to sell while his stock is high. GK Ferdinando Coppola did not play this season due to Da Costa's form, and he will leave the club when his contract expires on June 30. RB Douglas contributed 7 assists from right back while playing 13 of our 14 clean sheet matches. He will start for us next season, no doubt about it. RB Luca Ceccarelli played very sparingly and failed to oust Douglas from the first team. He will leave when his contract expires on June 30. CB Domenico Maietta started as a doubtful squad player but finished as our first-choice defender. He's losing physical stats but will play in Serie A. CB Marios Oikonomou has been our most-improved defender with +3 growth overall. I don't see him losing his spot no matter who we bring in. CB Kaan Ayhan made 21 appearances, mostly as a substitute. I felt he was better at CDM than CB, but either way I don't plan to renew his loan. CB Uros Radakovic didn't feature at first because of selection and later due to his attitude. He will be sent out on loan to develop, hopefully. CDM Muhamed Bešić started every game from January and made us more solid at the back. It doesn't look like we will be able to bring him back. CM Franco Zuculini developed +3 overall playing alongside Bešić, and he will need to perform at a high level if we don't want to get relegated. CM Danilo Cataldi finished with 5 goals and 8 assists in all competitions. I see great things for his future. He'll play CDM next season beside Zuculini. CM Matuzalem quickly lost his spot when it became obvious that he was not suited to my style of play. He retires at the end of the season. CM Federico Casarini didn't feature much in the first half of the campaign but proved his worth after January. He'll be important for us next season. CM Marcel Büchel didn't get as much game time as he'd have liked, but I need him around in case of injuries and suspensions. He may or may not go. LM Archimede Morleo impressed me after a poor start, but he quickly lost his place as our starting LB. I plan to send him out on loan next season. LM Ibrahima Mbaye had a fantastic run of form since we switched to the 4-2-3-1 formation. I may sign a new LB and play him in attacking midfield. CAM Gianluca Sansone pulled the strings as our key playmaker, linking up with the attack to start many of our moves. He goes back to Sampdoria. CAM Karim Laribi was great for us. He was the only midfielder to score 10 or more goals, but I don't think we can afford to buy him from Sassuolo. RW Federico Bernardeschi was sensational. I can't believe we actually got him for nothing. He will definitely start as one of our four attackers. RW Riccardo Improta didn't feature much outside of a few rare substitute appearances, but he grew a bit. We can consider another loan from Genoa. RW Gennaro Troianiello began with promise but lost his place. He's not suited to anything but counter-attacking football. Returns to Palermo. ST Matteo Mancosu was the star man. He didn't have a good start but really turned it up when he found form. Still our first-choice centre forward. ST Daniele Cacia was crucial to our strategy. He's not prolific but chipped in with a fair few goals. I'll probably sell him if I can get a couple of million. ST Maxwel Cornet impressed me enough to pay his purchase option. I see him as a valuable member of the team, but one who still has to develop. ST Rubén Bentancourt didn't play at all this season despite looking like he could do a decent job. I might keep him around as reserve or loan him out. Rolando Bianchi is the big name coming back from loan. He could probably be sold for a decent chunk and would free up a chunk of the wage bill, so he is pretty much gone. Martí Riverola also comes back from loan and will feature as a squad player. It doesn't look like I will be getting more than a few million to spend, so it's time to go hunting for bargains and free agents! Stay tuned for the summer 2015 transfers and preseason report, and please leave your vote for the Bologna player of the year for 2014/15!

Congatulations on the league title! Getting promoted was expected but you did it in fine fashion. And man, what a TIM Cup run! You may have lost to Juve in the semis but they are the best Italian team now so no shame in that! If your budget is really only two million you'll need to do a lot of great work.

We had a surprisingly tough time against Luton Town, but still advanced on a goal from Jamieson. We then traveled North to face Millwall where we fell behind but scored late to force extra time where we won it. Our next round opponent will be Premier League side Everton. It's shame to draw a Premier League opponent at this stage when there are still so many Football League sides left, but we are confident that we can get a result especially since it is at home. League Play - We are off to a strong league start, taking all 9 points available and only conceding 1 goal so far. Our attack is getting the job done so far, and our defense is already looking improved over last season. Anything short of a promotion will be a disappointment. Bradford Jamieson IV - Bradford got off to a great start, but he suffered a broken toe that will keep him on the sidelines for 2 months. It's a shame since he has proven himself as our most consistent goal scorer over the past 2 seasons, but new signings Nadir Çiftçi and Lars Veldwijk should be more than capable of filling the void while he is out.

I'm calling it right now, you'll finish in the top two this season. Solid results everywhere and it's great to see Ciftci getting on the scoresheet!

League Standings - 1st

I feel that I have started this season well. Although going out in the first round of the cup was bad, we have won 3 out of 3 games in the league and have had 2 clean sheets, already defending better than at Swansea. I am looking forward to a good two months and will hope to report some good victories and many clean sheets.

Many thanks for reading. Any comments or suggestions are very welcome

Bologna S02



Transfers

In light of my achievements in Serie B and to recognize my status as one of the most promising young managers in Italian football, the board decided to give me a whopping budget of €2.5 million with €10,000 on the wage bill. I was so stunned by their generosity that I simply couldn't decided where to start my transfer activities, so I began by assessing the immediate squad.

At the end of last season, we lost a bunch of key players who were with us on loan. Gianluca Sansone and Karim Laribi are the ones we'll miss most for their ability to influence games, but Muhamed Bešić is also going to be a big loss because we probably won't be able to afford him or his wages. A few others also departed once their contracts expired, but they were surplus.

Our new goalkeeper Fehmi Mert Günok linked up with us on July 1 after his contract at Fenerbahçe expired. We also signed Maxwell Cornet from Lyon for €1.5 million after a successful loan. Rolando Bianchi and Martí Riverola also joined up with us after loan spells elsewhere. And with Nicolò Cherubin still on loan at Atalanta, I had a 20-man squad to start my building with.

Right away, it became apparent that I could pick up a pretty good fee for Angelo Da Costa. He was the best goalkeeper in Serie B last season, making him one of the most in-demand players in our squad. I set a price tag of €4.2 million for him, and two clubs decided to meet the valuation without any fuss. West Ham and Bordeaux fought it out, but the French side won.

I also managed to move Daniele Cacia on for €2.1 million to Middlesbrough, who had just been promoted to the Premier League over in England. He was already declining, so I was pretty happy to him off the wage bill and pick up a few million euros at the same time. And now that I was left with just 18 players, I had to make some signings before I could negotiate any further.

We picked up the young Belgian goalkeeeper Koen Casteels from Wolfsburg on a season loan. He's probably not going to play unless Günok gets injured or suspended, but it's always good to have a backup who isn't too much of a drop in quality. We also brought in Alessio Romagnoli from Roma, initially on loan but with an option to buy at the end of the season for €2.5 million.

I was back up to 20 in the squad, so I let Uros Radakovic make his desired loan move to Livorno. I still think he can be a good backup, but we'll see if his development keeps up with our progress as a club. Also making his move was Rolando Bianchi, who joined Chievo Verona for €1.3 million. That's not a bad fee for a declining forward who broke his leg earlier this year at age 32.

I decided I wanted to bring in a young striker with room to develop, but one with agility and dribbling so that he could dovetail with the attacking three behind him. Samed Yesil came up on the radar as one to watch, so I figured I would ask Liverpool how much they wanted for him. Imagine the shock on my face when they asked for €350,000. Done! I paid up and brought him in.

José Crespo is a player I had overlooked, but I wasn't convinced he could be the starting LB, so I moved for Angeliño from Manchester City. I asked for a loan with the option to buy for €1 million, which is a bit less than they wanted when I asked how much he'd cost to sign outright. Eventually I was given the green light to wrap the deal, and we got our man at a good price.

This is when I realized there was no backup for Douglas in case of injury or suspension. He contributed 7 assists with his pace and athleticism. I knew we needed someone with that kind of physical presence. Up for loan was a young French kid at PSG named Jordan Ikoko. I wanted this signing to be a permanent one, so I was more than happy to pay the €700,000 PSG asked.

I decided to add three more players to finish my team. The first was Chile and Barcelona striker Ángelo Henríquez on loan for €50,000 a week. I also got Maxence Chapuis, a young but promising CB from Saint-Etienne who is tagged with great potential after completing a move for just €250,000! And the last was Leonardo Suárez, a CAM bought from Villarreal for €500,000.

Archimede Morleo didn't get any takers in this transfer window, so he'll be a squad player until at least January. All the new contracts and raises I've handed out have drained me to the point that just getting his paper value and wages back will make a difference to how much I have. But unless the board back me or I sell someone, there won't be any business in January.

Marios Oikonomou and Danilo Cataldi will hopefully keep developing into the world-class players I know they can be. Franco Zuculini needs to step up as our main defensive midfielder, and Federico Casarini will have a greater role after impressing me. Federico Bernardeschi is still our most gifted man, and Ibrahima Mbaye takes his promising talent from LB to attacking midfield.

Domenico Maietta is still our captain, so Romagnoli will need to wait for his chance to claim a place in the first team. Sadly, Marcel Büchel and Rubén Bentancourt don't look to have anything beyond squad roles. The real story is for Matteo Mancosu, who will play in Serie A for the first time at the age of 30. I'm sure he will score at least 15-18 goals if he stays fit all season.

Preseason

The first match was away in London against Queens Park Rangers. It wasn't easy, but we won 2-0 with Bernardeschi scoring twice. Our second match was against Saint-Etienne, who had signed Olivier Giroud. He scored early, but we came back. Bernardeschi scored a lovely volley from outside of the box. The second half was really dull with no shots, and it ended at 1-1.

August
The first of our two competitive games in August was a 2-0 home win over Livorno in the TIM Cup. Oikonomou scored a crashing head just before the first half ended, and Yesil got on the end of Mancosu's pass to grab a goal on debut. We then fought for a 1-0 at home against Atalanta to start the league season on the right note. Yesil scored for us late in the second half.

September

The month started with a 1-0 loss at Sampdoria where Samuel Eto'o got on the end of a corner kick to score the only goal. We played well despite the pressure, and nobody fell below a 6.5 rating. We then beat Parma 2-0 with a goal from Henríquez followed by a Pedro Mendes own goal. Angeliño tore them apart like Douglas did all last season; we finally have a threat at LB.

The next game was a 3-3 thriller at Verona. We took an early lead through Cataldi, and Mancosu made it 2-0 before halftime. He received a pass in the box, turned on the spot and fired in. Artur Ioniță made it 2-1 after halftime before Boško Janković equalised in five minutes. Mancosu scored again but Nenê equalised. We took the game easy at 2-0 and paid for our arrogance.

We finished the month with a very exciting 1-1 at home against Torino, one of the best teams in the division. Fabio Quagliarella scored a very beautiful goal in the second half, but right when it looked like Torino might leave with all three points, Casarini fired in from a tight angle after making a smart run to save us from losing. We finished with Cataldi as our player of the month.

October

I was determined to put a bad month to bed, but it had to wait until after we lost 2-0 at Juventus. Claudio Marchisio and Fernando Llorente scored, and the second is a really strong candidate for goal of the season. Llorente got the ball about 30 yards out and put in a dipping shot that was never going to be kept out. Gigi Buffon was a hero in goal with 11 saves this day!

We then hosted Inter in a 2-2 draw, Mbaye scoring against his old team for his first goal since I took over. Mauro Icardi equalised just before halftime and Rodrigo Palacio put them 2-1 up with 30 minutes left, but we got a late penalty when Angeliño was pushed over in the box. Mancosu put it away for his third goal of the season, but I was disappointed that we didn't win.

Our next game was a 3-2 win at home over Fiorentina. Mancosu scored his fourth and fifth goals of the season to put us 2-0 up at halftime. Giuseppe Rossi equalized early in the second half, Mbaye scored a deflected goal to make it 3-1, and Mario Gomez gave us a fright by scoring a second for the visitors with just minutes to go. We held on for a big win and three points!

We travelled to Chievo and won 3-0. Cataldi scored once in the first half and again in the second, and Zuculini timed his run perfectly to add a third very late in the game. Unfortunately we lost Mbaye to suspension after he received a second booking about 80 minutes in, but we have enough depth that this wasn't an issue. It was a comprehensive win that I was proud of.

The next game was against Milan at home. Henríquez was in the right place at the right time to score our first just 23 minutes into the game, and our young gem Suárez made it 2-0 late into the second half. Milan were strong in building up but didn't have the forwards to make a difference once play reached their final third. We weren't really troubled all game, which is huge!

The final match of the month was away to Cagliari. Lorenzo Crisetig hit a volley in the 12th minute that turned out to be the only game of this 1-0 loss. Alessio Cragno was fantastic for them in goal to be named man of the match. We finish the month in sixth place with 18 points, behind Cagliari on goal differential. Günok was named player of the month by club and league.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Bernardeschi has been out since early September with a broken ankle. He should be back by Christmas.
