Challenging the Champions




Stocker Signs!

After a month of waiting and hoping Hertha BSC's fans can be relieved. The captain Valentin Stocker signed a contract extension which will almost double his salary to 75.000 euros a week. The Swiss wide man apologized for not signing earlier but he tell his reasons behind that.
"The news are great for the whole team and the fans. Valentin is a great player who is very important to the team. It is really good for us that he's staying", said the manager Ganchev.


March 2015


Hertha 1 - 0 Borussia Mönchengladbach
Kovacic 51'


Hertha 1 - 0 Arsenal, (3-1 agg.), Champions League Round of 16
Depay 35'

Hertha continued their great form and they beat the English top club at the Olympiastadion. Hertha passed the ball quickly from player to player waiting for a chance to come up. In the 35th minute Memphis Depay played a one-two pass with Valentin Stocker at the edge of the box. Depay received the ball back and the young Dutch winger stroke the ball with his first touch to the top left corner. The rest of the game was mainly a not-so-interesting midfield battle with a few shots. The home fans of Hertha were singing and jumping after the final whistle.


VfL Wolfsburg 2 - 1 Hertha
Perisic 51', Soldado 63' pen
Ramos 77' pen

First versus second. Hertha were the favourites to take the three points. But no, the match was aweful. Everything went Wolfsburg's way. They defended well the middle, they defended well the flanks. And they goals? Terrible. Perisic got the ball on the left flank. He took a few steps to the middle and shot from about 35 yards out. A shot, which wasn't really powerful or hard to save which rolled on the ground. But no, Hertha's Kraft failed to do anything. He didn't react to the shot before it was too late. And a bit after that Wolfsburg got a penalty for handball. Soldado put the spot kick to the net. Then Hertha got a penalty for an ugly tackle when they were pushing for two goals. Ramos scored it and that's when the game basically ended. Nothing happened after that.


Hamburger SV 2 - 3 Hertha, DFB Pokal Semi Finals
Badelj 53', Beister 61' pen
Brooks 25', Drmic 64', 90'

Another tough game for the Berliners, this time against the side from Hamburg. The Berliners took the lead with a Brooks' header from a corner. Then in the second half HSV equalized after a through pass and a finish under the keeper. A bit later they got their second from the spot after another handball call. Right after restarting Drmic played the to Kovacic. The young Croatian passed it to Depay on the right wing. The Dutch man got past HSV's right back and he played a pass to Drmic inside the box. Drmic took a touch and with his second touch he shot a powerful shot to the near post's top corner. Hertha kept pushing on and the Blau-Weiss got their reward in the 90th minute when Max Meyer played a pass from the right through HSV's box. The pass wasn't that good or strong but none of the defenders nor the keeper got to it. It reached Josip Drmic who was at the keeper's area's edge on the left and he put it with his first touch getting us the win! Hertha were through to their second cup final in two years!



League Table

1. Hertha BSC, 73 pts

Press Conference


Good afternoon, Mr Ganchev. What is your opinion on the results this month?

All together, they were good. I'm only disappointed in our game against Wolfsburg. Especially our attacking and their first goal were aweful. I don't understand why Thomas (Kraft) didn't get to it! Even my mother would have saved it! And our attacking was... really poor. I felt like we didn't have attackers in that game. But it's past now, we're still leading the league by many points and we went through in the cups. I'm happy.


Valentin Stocker signed the contract extension, correct? How did that influence on the team?

Again, no comment. I do not talk about stuff like this.


Your next opponent in the Champions League is Liverpool, another good English team. What should be expect from Hertha?

Two victories and progression to the semi finals. When we play well, we can beat every team in the world. And Liverpool isn't one of the best, to be honest. If we continue to play well we might even end up challenging seriously for the trophy.


Is it true that the DFB (German FA) contacted you about becoming the coach of the national team?

Yes, it is true and I'm not sure about taking or rejecting the job. Germany are a great country and it would be an honour to coach the national team. But it might influence Hertha's success. So I haven't taken any actions yet.


If you succeed to win the treble this season, will you stay at Hertha or will you leave?

I'm 100% sure I will stay. I love this club and I'm doing great things with it at the moment. I wan't to continue doing so.


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

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

So I need some explaining here. In my CM, I'm using Man U and I was in the semi final of the champions league 2016 against Bayern Munich. First game, I'm the home team and we tie 3-3 (seriously was probably the greatest game I have ever played).

The second game, Bayern Munich is home and we tie again 2-2 but Bayern Munich moves on to the final. Can someone explain to me why that happened? I thought if it was tied after the two games you go into OT and a shootout?

By the way, in my CM its going really well. I'm about to sell Rooney for a big price or RVP to get De Bruyne and another full back. We won the EPL by 3 pts against Man City. My first time winning it since I started this CM. I'm about to start the Euro 2016 with Belgium (which they are a sick team, so fast and young)

The team with the most away goals will advance if you are tied on aggregate after both legs.

Now if both legs had ended 2-2 or 3-3 then it would have gone to extra time.

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

Well done! I was going to do an Aston Villa career but I guess not now haha! Any other suggestions?! English teams please.

Swansea City. A good squad with room of improvement. Or West Brom. Or Hull City. Tough teams, low budgets, not-so-good players but rewarding and challenging.

From other countries try out Villarreal from the Liga BBVA, from Italy Torino or Udinese could be interesting. But at the end the choice is yours! You can try out interesting teams and check their budgets etc.

I hope you enjoyed my update and the glorious domestic treble as well.
Thanks for reading, and any feedback appreciated!

Congratulations, mate! Amazing ending to the season! It reminded me of last season's Barcelona-Atletico situation. Are you still going to continue the career? I hope so.

Hertha fourth? Hell yeah!

OOOOOHHHHHHHH....ok thanks for the response. I was wondering if there was a rule about it. So since BM scored 3 when they were away and I scored 2, they moved on. Wish I would have known that, I wouldnt have played for a tie at the end of the game with 10 minutes left, I would have tried and scored

when the aggregate score is tied the team with the most away goals wins (Bayern 3, Man U 2). That's a tough break, especially with you not knowing about it as I'm sure if you were aware of it you would have tried harder for another goal.

[vrabbit]

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

CONGRATS! Very well done, highly deserved. Will you be staying with the team?

Now all that's left is to see how Chico's FA Cup final and Europa League SF went... Chico?

Absolutely staying with the team, I didn't fight so hard to get to La Liga to bail out now lol

Huge congratulations! It was about time you made it there! Now it's time to compete with the big dogs! You'll do great if you get a good budget to improve the team.

Thanks!

Congrats on the promotion! Excited to see you compete in La Liga now. It will be interesting though what your budget will be since it will be reverting to normal after the take over. I really hope they don't screw you over and stuff that La Liga money into their own pockets

The board gave me $3.5 million for transfers and $15K for wages. I have a decision to make at GK since selling D'Angelo would probably triplicate my transfer budget.

Surprised to see Hertha 4th especially since last season they were involved in a play off to stay in the league.

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

I saw a few days ago that people were saying a Portsmouth career was needing doing. I haven't seen that other person who said they were going to do them reply again so I guess i'll start one as well. I'll get through to the end of the transfer window and then reply again

AD Alcorcon - '16-'17 Season REVIEW

Spoiler

Another season has ended and we're finally on our way to La Liga and to newer and more exciting adventures. Although we didn't win Liga Adelante we still earned automatic promotion and we consider this season a grand success.

Liga Adelante FINAL Standings



1. RCD Mallorca - 96pts

2. AD Alcorcon - 90pts

3. Granada CF - 87pts

4. UD Almeria - 77pts

5. Sporting Gijon - 76pts

6. UD Las Palmas - 74pts

* Sporting Gijon won the playoff and is promoted to La Liga.

It looks like I missed the team of the season but I do know that our GK, Sebastian D'Angelo, won GK of the tournament (league). Mallorca's coach won manager of the year and UD Las Palmas' Ben Basat won player of the year. Granada CF's Marquinhos Gabriel won the golden boot with 16 goals while Leandro Paredes led the league with 12 assists despite missing the last 2 months due to injury. D'Angelo had 21 clean sheets, 10 more than the next guy.



Copa Del Rey Champion: Real Madrid (3-2 over Valencia).

Copa Europe Champion: Liverpool (2-1 over Real Madrid).

Champions League Champion: Juventus (1-0 over Real Madrid).

Euro League Champion: Manchester United (2-1 over Liverpool).



Relegated from Liga BBVA: CA Osasuna (damn right!), Levante UD, Real Valladolid.



Champions around Europe (it's late so I'm only mentioning the main ones): Real Madrid, Manchester United, Marseille, FC Bayern, Juventus, Ajax, FC Porto, Celtic.



Next post will be a roster review. We have a LOOONG roster ...

YES!! You made it congratulations!!! So stoked to see your season in La Liga. Damn osasuna took your promotion spot only to waste it after one season. At least you won't have to see them for another season. Unless you draw them in the cup, which would be intense! Good luck!

Now all that's left is to see how Chico's FA Cup final and Europa League SF went... Chico?

Haha thanks. I finished the month last night but won't be able to update until I get off work. Only 7 more hours to go.... Yay -_-

All I will say is that just two games before the season ending I went down to 3rd place losing my auto promotion spot even though I had held it pretty much all season. The rest, will be for the update. Right now I'm just trying to read through the more than 50! posts that were submitted while I was asleep. You guys are on a roll! This should kill some time from my shift

[indiblue]

Re: How's Your FIFA 14 Career Mode Going?

Wow, quite a lot to catch up on! Before I get to everyone, let me update you on what's happening from my end.

I've just started a career with Sassuolo... literally, just started. I haven't even gone a day into it, just created the file and had a look through the squad. First impression is that this club is in dire need of a reshape to justify it having its own stadium (one of the few in Serie A). Quite a lot of deadwood, and I won't get a lot of cash for them, but I will be able to free up close to 200k in wages. Targets will depend on how much money I free up and what positions are required after the sales are made, but I will need a GK and a CAM for sure. Primary targets are David Ospina and Leandro Paredes, but I don't expect to sign anyone before deadline day, or mid-August at least.

Okay, let's start with Simppu. Hertha being in first place has ruined you. Where's the Simppu I used to know?! Nah, just kidding, sorry I didn't mention your career mate, but it's a foregone conclusion for me that you're going to win Bundesliga, especially with that monstrous lead. Good thing Stocker signed, though...

Vrabbit, glad to see you sticking with Alcorcon. I look forward to seeing how you prepare for La Liga. Arsenal, Chelsea, United and City have plenty of youngsters you can loan in, if you're interested.

Petch, good luck with Everton. I have a soft spot for them given my strong dislike for Liverpool.

Sunderland and Newcastle also coming along quite well. Brings back memories of what I could have achieved with the Black Cats... Hope you guys both do well.

Cathal, congrats on winning the double with Villa! You really worked your way back, and so glad to see you did it with a good English core.

JD, bit of rough luck with Lazio. Hope you get things going your way soon, you deserve to be in contention for Europe.

And Regens, no I'm not doing a Liga Adelante career, sorry. Not looking for that right now.
