I'm on world class, HOWEVER I do look forward to a potential return to the English League 2 in which case I would bump it up to Legendary. I don't want to achieve back to back promotions like I did with World Class so I feel Legendary would make it a lot more realistic and challenging. I won't be making the switch while at Osasuna because I'm kind of forced to finish in the Top 6 now, and as Tex said when you're playing with low division teams you don't really care that much about finishing top of the table certainly not right away

Maybe try putting shot error slider up a few points?

I play on world class but I really think I should have started my career on legendary for at least League 1 and 2. In my next career i might try Legendary once i've finished my current career (or I might switch it now that i'm in the Premier League to make it a lot more challenging)

I've just played 2 games on Legendary with some sliders adjusted to make it so that they are unbeatable. And I am really enjoying it. The games are fairly intense and it's more rewarding. Definitely suggest it!

Barclays Premier League Match:

Chelsea 1 – Exeter City 1

EXE – Appiah (26’)

Exeter City look a little taken aback as Stamford Bridge erupts as soon as the game gets under way. It’s by far the loudest stadium the team has ever been in and this is a brand new experience for the players. The first twenty-five minutes are uneventful until Saiz Alonso dispossesses Andre Schürrle and Exeter go on the counter attack. Alonso cuts in and squares the ball to Appiah who turns and dangerously sprints towards goal. Appiah tries to pick a pass through the defence but the ball deflects off Kurt Zouma. The ball goes back to the attacker and now he’s through on goal. He then slots it into the bottom left corner past Courtois. The newly promoted team are in front against last year’s champions!

CHE –Oscar (90’+1’)

A corner is delivered into the box and it’s cleared back to Andre Schürrle who then redelivers it. It’s cleared once again to the edge of the box. A one-two allows Oscar to have some space and shoot but Mabil makes a great save. A bad clearance from Gomez gives the ball back to Oscar who controls it then smashes it into the top left corner. Unfortunate for Exeter...

Our Best Performer: Glen Mabil

Making their Debut: Robert Bauer, Jason Banton, Luis Paredes

Barclays Premier League Match:

Exeter City 3 – Southampton 2

EXE –Banton (28’)

The ball’s cleared badly away by Jack Stephens and Saiz Alonso can head the ball down to Sercombe in the midfield. He gives the ball to Appiah who tears open the defence with his pace. He runs into the box, cuts back and rolls the ball to Banton who sprints forward and smashes the ball with his weaker left foot past Begovic and Exeter are now one-nil up.

SOU – Tadic (72’)

Southampton finally break Exeter City’s defence down as Mayuka holds the ball up on the edge of the penalty area. He then slots the ball into Tadic who smashes the ball past Mabil.

SOU – Mayuka (79’)

Steven Davis lifts the ball over the defence and into the feet of Emmanuel Mayuka who should be tackled by Moore-Taylor but all he does is fling his leg at the ball which the attacker dances around easily which allows him to easily slide the ball past the keeper and into the far corner.

EXE – Feudjou (84’)

Alan Morgunov whips the ball into the box from a corner on the right. Feudjou makes a lengthy run to shake his marker and nip in front of the defender at the near post to head the ball past the keeper.

EXE – Appiah (88’)

Robert Bauer bursts down the right and delivers a low cross into the box for Kwabena Appiah who just gets enough of a touch on it to take it past Begovic and into the bottom far corner.

Our Best Performer: Kwabena Appiah

Making their Debut: Alan Morgunov

Barclays Premier League Match:

Hull City 1 – Exeter City 2

HUL –Sagbo (10’)

Ahmed Elmohamady cuts in from the right wing and slots the ball behind the defence for Yannick Sagbo to flick the ball into the far corner.

EXE – Appiah (59’)

Kwabena Appiah gets the ball on the half-way line and gives the ball to Reece Brown who sprints at the defenders. He spots the continued run of Appiah and threads the ball through the defence to him. He opens up his body to slide the ball into the bottom right corner, clipping the upright as it goes in.

EXE –Appiah (64’)

Reise Allassani gives the ball to the in-form Appiah who runs at the defence. He picks a pocket of space and bursts into it, beating all the defenders for pace. Eldin Jakupović rushes out but Appiah hits the ball over his outstretched leg and into the bottom left corner, once again, clipping the post before going in.

It’s outstanding that Exeter City had eleven shots and only two were actually on target and both of those were goals.

Our Best Performer: Kwabena Appiah

Youth Academy:

Aaron Davis. (United States) 15 years old 64-72 OVR 86-94 POT
- This 5’10 right-footer looks to be an amazing striker or left midfielder. His best attributes are his heading accuracy, shot power, finishing and ball control.

Evan Davies (United States) 15 years old 58-64 OVR 75-83 POT
- Evan Davies is a left-back who’s left-footed and stands at 6’1. His interceptions and his sliding tackles seem to be what his is most skilled at.

* Denotes a new graduate

Press Conference:

Q:What a great way to start the season with that near-win against Chelsea and you’re unbeaten in your first three Premier League games which is outstanding due to the fact that you’ve just been promoted into the league.

A:Thank you. The team has just been amazing since I’ve come here and the fans make our games have a different dimension that you cannot get at any other stadium, so I would like to thank everyone involved with the club because they have been the reason for our success.

Q:What position do you will think you will finish in, in the Premier League?

A:It’s way too early in the season to predict upon but I hope to be in the section that’s in between the middle of the table and the relegation zone.

Manager’s Thoughts:

I really can’t believe how well we’ve played in those last couple of matches. To nearly beat Chelsea and be unbeaten against some very good teams really is pleasing to see even if it is only the first month of the season.

Most of my new signings have been brilliant. Robert Bauer has been quite solid in the LDM role when coming on as a substitute. His work rate is not the same as either Liam Sercombe or Saiz Alonso but he’s reliable enough that he won’t bomb up the field and that he’ll be available to defend if we’re caught on the counter-attack. Jason Banton looks a sharp replacement for Paris Cowan-Hall. He has amazing acceleration so he’s able to get past the full backs and even cut in a couple of times. Jason also seems to be drifting into the midfield at just the right times to get onto something. He seems to be a ‘replacement’ if Appiah gets out of position which is very useful. Luis Paredes wasn’t in good form in the Chelsea game which I decided to start him in. He was a little slow and didn’t have much luck on his side. He usually was a little out of position and his first touches weren’t great. I hope he improves for the next time I decide to choose him.

I had a bit of free time to watch a game that Aaron Davis played in for the youth squad. He was amazing! I don’t really like saying this but no one could hold a candle up to him. His finishing was sublime and he managed to score twice in the game that I saw him in. I’m looking forward to when the fifteen year old American is old enough to join the senior team and prove that he has what it takes to overthrow Kwabena Appiah for the striker spot. Only time will tell if he can or not.

October Update

Juventus v. Roma
3—2
Asamoah 14’, 65’; Vidal 25’
De Rossi 30’; Gervinho 43’
This game features the top 2 teams in Serie A. Juventus leads the league with 13 points and Roma has 12 points. First real chance by Asamoah, he had a strong shot that hits the keeper’s hands and goes into the back of the net. Marchisio with a great lobbed through ball to a sprinting Vidal who tucked into a low corner. After a horrible clearing attempt Roma gets the ball onto the feet of Daniele De Rossi. Buffon parries away a shot attempt and Gervinho buries the rebound. Nothing happens until the 65th minute where Asamoah buries a shot far post.
MOTM: Asamoah

Bayern v. Juventus
3—2
Lewandowski 43, 45’; Alonso 80’
Marchisio 26’; Pereya 83’
Raul Hilton received great news during the international break as his main strikers Tevez, and Llorente were able to return for this pivotal game against the German powerhouse known as Bayern Munich. Bayern gets awarded a bull**** penalty and Robben goes bar down and misses. Marchisio gets a steal and then dribbles around the Bayern defense and shoots top and finishes to give Juventus the lead. Lewandowski ties it for Bayern in the 43rd minute off an assist from Robben. And then in stoppage time he hits a long header past Buffon. Xabi Alonso makes it 3-1 in the 80th but Pereya cuts the lead back to 1 a couple minutes later.

Manager's Comments:

So we have just finished off the month of October. We were in great form coming into the month by not losing a game in September. We kept that going against Roma. But then we hit a wall against Bayern after having more than a week off between games due to the international break. We came out flat in that game and sadly that carried over our next two games. But we finished the month strong with back to back shutouts of Palermo and Genoa. Looking to next month we start the month off against the worst team in Serie A @ Empoli and then we head to Turkey to face Gala in a Champions League group stage match.

Upcoming Games:
@ Empoli
@ Gala
vs. Parma
vs. LOSC Lille
vs. Torino

any feedback is appreciated

I would personally recommend it. For me, on legendary it seemed that I was able to score too easily just using a player with pace. It didn't always work, but often enough to where I decided to bump it up. I like that I am forced to score more team goals now and work the ball around.

Deportivo La Coruña
FIFA 15 - Season 1

Blanquiazules’

September 2014

SD Eibar 1 - RC Deportivo 2
EIB - Arruabarrena 15'
DEP - Perez 45', Cavaleiro 54'
MOTM: Del Moral

Manu found Arruabarrena in space up the middle and he was able to hit it with a first time strike into the top right corner. Just before half Juan Dominguez fired a shot from inside the box that was deflected and landed right at Perez's feet to slot home past the keeper for the equalizer. Cuenca beat the defense down the right wing and took the ball to the end line before sending a low cross into the box for Cavaleiro to tap in on the back post for the winning goal.

RC Deportivo 1 - Real Madrid 3
DEP - Perez 77'
RMA - Aguero 38', Ronaldo 60', Khedira 90'
MOTM: Aguero

Aguero opened it up after a great through ball from Ronaldo got him open on the right side of the goal. He controlled it and then fired with his right foot inside the far left post. Marcelo tried to send a cross in but it was deflected straight up into the air inside the 6 yard box. Ronaldo seemingly got away with shoving the defender out of the way before blasting the ball off the crossbar and in to double the lead. After a Real Madrid corner was cleared, the ball was pushed ahead to Perez on the counter. He beat Modric and then Ramos on his way to the right side of the goal and fired a strong shot to the top left corner. Aguero played the ball from the left side to the top edge of the box for Khedira to hit first time directly at the keeper. However, in a poor display of goal keeping, the ball bounced off of the keeper and into the net on what should have been a routine save.

Galician Derby
Celta Vigo 2 - RC Deportivo 5
CEL - Lopez 60', Nolito 90'
DEP - Riera 66', 87', Insua 71', Valeron 74', Bergantiños 81'
MOTM: Cuenca

Hernandez broke free down the right wing and sent a cross into the box that found Lopez between two defenders for a header into the top right corner. Cuenca sent a corner into the box and picked out Riera for a strong header into the top left corner. Cuenca lined up another corner, this time picking out Insua in the box for a looping header that settled in the left side of the goal. Cuenca then beat his man on the right wing and cut the ball inside before playing it to Valeron for a quick shot that was deflected, but fell right back to him for the easy finish. Valeron played the ball to Medunjanin on the left side of the box and he jumped over a tackle before picking out Bergantiños on the back post with a low cross for the tap in. After winning yet another corner, Valeron sent it in this time on the near post and Riera was able to head it inside the top right corner. Nolito pulled one back with a late consolation goal from the middle of the box that he placed in the bottom right corner of the net.

RC Deportivo 1 - UD Almeria 0
DEP - Medunjanin 90' (PEN)
MOTM: Ruben

A few scattered chances throughout the match led to nothing after both keepers put in amazing performances. Almeria's best chance came in the 64th minute when Verza stepped up for a penalty and Lux was able to read it perfectly and make the save. In the 90th minute Perez attacked down the left side of the goal and attempted to send a low cross in only to have Dos Santos take him down with a sliding challenge from behind. Medunjanin placed the penalty to the right, and even though the keeper guessed right, he saw it hit the back of the net for the deciding goal.

Deportivo La Coruña Player of the Month

Lucas Perez

Lucas Perez was impressive this month scoring 2 goals, and drawing the decisive penalty against Almeria that led to the win. He has been an important link in the midfield with Haris Medunjanin and Juan Dominguez who as a group have been able to control games for Deportivo.

Manager Comments

Juan Dominguez - Good news and bad news regarding Juan Dominguez this month. The good news is that we have reached an agreement with him to extend his contract through 2017. The bad news is that he has suffered a broken rib against Almeria and will likely miss the next 3 months. This is a blow for us considering the form he had been in and the partnership he had developed with Medunjanin in the midfield.

Consistency - Another month is past and we are still sitting in 2nd in the table. We are very proud to still be in this spot, but we know that the hardest is still to come. Our biggest challenge yet was against Real Madrid, and they showed us what a true world class team is capable of. There is a long way to go, but we are performing better than most had expected from us.

Academy Update - We have started to narrow down players to keep an eye on throughout Spain. Although we haven't committed to signing anyone yet, there are 3 players specifically that have a chance to become the first player added this year. Our hopes are high, and we know that each player we add is an important piece for our future.

Re: How's Your FIFA Career Mode Going?

Ha Ho He

May 2015

Hertha BSC 0 - 0 Borussia Mönchengadbach
(played on Legendary)

The game between two top five teams was meant to be a very exciting and action-packed match but it wasn't that at all. There were only three shots on target in the whole game and pretty much everything that happened was the two teams passing the ball around.

Borussia Dortmund 2 - 1 Hertha BSC
Reus 21', 45'
Kalou 90'
(played on Legendary)

With this victory Borussia Dortmund need only one point from the two remaining games to win. Dortmund were dominant and controlled the tempo of the game. They got the lead halfway through the first half with a beautifully placed free kick by Marco Reus. The winger went ahead and got a brace in stoppage time from the penalty spot. Hertha tried to equalise the game but they failed at that. Salomon Kalou managed to pull just one back in stoppage time after cutting in from the right.

Hertha BSC 3 - 1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Stocker 43', Kalou 57', Ronny 84'
Aigner 21'

The Berliners needed all three points from this game to remain in a good position in the fight for Europa League spots. Things didn't start off well when Stefan Aigner was left unmarked in the box and he scored from a low cross with a nice volley. After that Hertha went on the attack and really looked for the equalising goal. They got it in the 43rd minute when the ball from a corner fell to Valentin Stocker right at the edge of the box. The attacking midfielder took control of the ball, let it hit the ground once and he shot it with the outside of his foot to the top left corner! Fifteen minutes later Salomon Kalou got his 20th league goal of the season when he dribbled around a defender in the box before positioning the ball into the bottom right corner. Half an hour later Änis Ben-Hatira started a counter attack by playing Kalou through on goal. The Ivorian passed the ball Ronny inside the box and he had an easy job tapping it into the net. Roy Beerens got injured for three months in the game.

1899 Hoffenheim - Hertha BSC

Hamburger SV - Schalke 04

Going into the final game of the season the situation was like this: Hertha BSC were in sixth, two points ahead of Schaiße - I mean Schalke- 04. Hertha had a better goal difference and a draw was everything they needed to qualify for the Europa League through the league. Schalke on the other hand were also qualified through the cup: Bayern and Dortmund were the two finalists but because both of them had already qualified for the Champions League the team in seventh qualifies for the Europa League. It was more about pride and the amount of prize money at this point. Hertha Berlin were up against Hoffenheim away from home and Schalke faced HSV, also away.

Hertha BSC started the game in average fashion. They abused the wings like they always do but Andreas Beck on the right didn't let almost anything go past him. They had a few chances but they were all saved by Baumann in goal. Hoffenheim also had a few good attacks but Hertha's defence had a good game, too.

Half time: 1899 Hoffenheim 0 - 0 Hertha BSC
...........Hamburger SV 0 - 1 Schalke 04

The second half started. Hertha knew that the result at the moment would satisfy them but Hoffenheim could've taken the lead and ruin the game. The Berliners continued attacking and they had some chances from range and from the box that were saved by Baumann. The 90th minute was closing and Ronny hit the post with a longshot. A few minutes later Valentin Stocker hit the crossbar. It felt like the net was under some kind of a spell. Then the fourth official put his board in the air showing the amount of stoppage time: two minutes. Hertha tried hard to score and then it happened. Valentin Stocker ran into the box and he was taken down! The referee rightfully gave the penalty and Salomon Kalou stepped up to take it. Every second felt like a minute for the Berliners. The Ivorian took a few steps backwards, started his run, shot the ball to the right of the keeper... and it went it! Hertha BSC had taken the lead with the last kick of the game!The referee blew his whistle right after the game was re-started. Hertha had finished in sixth!

Full time: 1899 Hoffenheim 0 - 1 Hertha BSC
..........Hamburger SV 1 - 1 Schalke 04

Player of the Season

Salomon Kalou

Kalou was the league top scorer with his 21 goals and he secured loads of points for his team. Without him Hertha BSC couldn't have finished in sixth like they did. Sadly Kalou is getting older but the board of the club still believes in him.

Pal Dardai Resigns!

After a very successful season as the co-manager of Hertha BSC the Hungarian coach has resigned. Dardai said that the job wasn't the right one for him and that he prefers to concentrate on coaching Hungary. Surprisingly only three days after he said that it was announced that Dardai will coach Hertha's U-23's as well. Simon Müller will continue as the lone manager.

Transfer Budget: €30,000,000
Wage Budget: €140,000

The season was a very successful one and I'm actually glad that we didn't make it into the Champions League. The career will go on for longer. The budget surprised me a lot but I'm very, very happy about it. It will allow me to sign everyone I want (well, it allowed me to sign pretty much everyone I wanted). I'm enjoying this career a lot and I hope you're enjoying it, as well. The squad review will be up later today.

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

Los Blanquillos

October 2014

Oct 5th
Liga Adelante
Match 9
Real Zaragoza 1-1 Sporting Gijón
Pedro 67'
Scepovic 73'

MotM: Iván Cuéllar

It took until the 67th minute for the deadlock to be broken and it came in the form of Pedro Sánchez smashing home a rebound on the volley. Fernández crossed it in and Cuéllar flapped at it making it bounce out into the box. Pedro was the first to react and he put it away continuing his great form.

Pedro smashing home the rebound.

The joy was short lived however when league top scorer Scepovic pounced on a defensive mistake to level on 73 minutes. We didn't deserve to only get a point from this game. Even though they hit the crossbar we had more chances than them and should have taken them.

Oct 11th
Liga Adelante
Match 10
Girona CF 0-3 Real Zaragoza
Esnáider 6' (Pérez)
Suárez 45' (Esnáider)
Tarsi 57'

MotM: Esnáider

Esnáider got his first start with the B team as we tried a 4-4-2 Diamond Wide. The striker scored in just the 6th minute heading a chipped through ball, from Pérez, past the Girona keeper. Suárez won the ball off Escribano and then he slid rashly in from behind earning himself a red card and reducing Girona to 10 men. We took advantage by pressed for a second and after missing several chances it came on the brink of halftime. Pérez won the ball on the left off Gómez and then played it into the middle where Esnáider was the waiting. He had all the time in the world to slide a pass through to Suárez who finished it first time past Becerra. The lead was extended to 3-0 on 57 minutes when Eldin sent in a cross that Suárez attacked at the front post. Richy beat him to the header but only headed it down into the 6 yard box where Tarsi controlled it and tapped into the net. We controlled the game from then on and although Girona had some chances Óscar Whalley was well up to the task.

Oct 18th
Liga Adelante
Match 11
Real Zaragoza 1-0 Deportivo Alavés
Munir 16' (Pen)

MotM: Óscar Whalley

The B team played again because of the Cops Del Rey match in 3 days. There was only one change made, Munir for Suárez. Pérez was absolutely clattered inside the box by Mudina to give us a penalty and Munir his first goal for the club when he sent Manu the wrong way.

Munir coolly converts from 12 yards.

Towards the end Alavés really started to turn up the pressure but with 7 saves Óscar Whalley took home Man of the Match and kept us in it with some really excellent saves. Munir played extremely good up top getting 4 shots on target and narrowly missing out on Man of the Match.

Oct 22nd
Cops Del Rey
Round 1
Real Zaragoza 5-2 CD Lugo
López 4' (Pen)
Fernández 19' (Borja)
Luis Fernández 23'
Ruiz de Galarreta 37' (Porcar)
Álamo 45' (Pen)
Pedro 77'
Mario 83' (Pedro)

MotM: Pedro Sánchez

The game started terribly with Mario shoving Pelayo over inside the area giving López the opportunity to score from the spot, which he did right into the bottom left corner. Alcolea went the right way but was unable to reach it. Borja dragged the centre half out of position leaving space for Fernández in behind to run onto his pass and take one touch into the box before burying the ball into the bottom left corner. But then Luis Fernández scored just 4 minutes later. He shot on the turn into the bottom right corner past Alcolea. Ruiz de Galarreta leveled the game again with a near post header after some great work and dribbling by Porcar to get the cross in. Ruiz de Galarreta was involved again this time winning a penalty off Pavón after he slid in and took him out. Álamo confidently dispatched it to give us the lead going into halftime. Porcar again did excellent work to make room for the cross from inside the box and David de Coz miss judged the header, while José Juan just stood there meaning Pedro had an easy header into the net. Mario then out muscled Pavón to beautifully head home a Pedro corner into the net. On a 5-2 scoreline we advance to Round of 32 against Málaga.

Oct 25th
Liga Adelante
Match 12
CD Tenerife 2-1 Real Zaragoza
Ifrán 3'
Eldin 48' (Munir)
Ifrán 61'

MotM: Diego Ifrán

Basha mistimed a challenge about 5 yards outside the box giving away the free kick. Ifràn confidently stood up and placed it in the bottom corner past Óscar Whalley.

Óscar Whalley just misses the ball.

The second half came after some more chances for both teams ended the first 45 minutes. Whatever Keane said at halftime worked when Eldin scored just 3 minutes in. Munir turned a few yards from the edge of the box and played a little ball into Eldin who was being played onside by the left back, García. He took a touch and placed it around Jacobo.

Eldin equalizes.

But Rubén left Ifrán run onto a through ball and he finished it along with the match as we wasted many chances to equalize. A second defeat now in the league.

Oct 29th
Liga Adelante
Match 13
Real Zaragoza 1-0 RC Recreativo
Borja 43' (Ruiz de Galarreta)

MotM: Ruiz de Galarreta

To end the month we faced RC Recreativo at home and after dominating for the first 40 minutes Borja put us ahead. He received the ball with his back to goal outside the area. He knocked it to his left into space and made his way into the box taking his shot just as Zamora missed his challenge. The ball went straight into the bottom right corner past a motionless Sotres.

Borja's clean strike.

We had some more opportunities in the second 45 minutes but we focused on keeping the defence solid, which we did and in doing so came away with 3 points to end the month on a good note.

Real Zaragoza Player of the Month

Pedro Sánchez - RM, 68 (+1) Ovr, 27, Spain

The winger is an important player for Zaragoza and in 3 games he scored twice and set up another goal. He also was constantly winning the ball back and was a menace on the left wing for right fullbacks this month.

Some nice signings to add depth, hopefully no more forfeits! Although now that you are in the BPL that should not happen anymore seeing as they have international breaks. But man what a sickening first result after coming sooo close. Still a point against Chelsea is very good. Then you backed it up with wins against Southampton and Hull. Your counter attacking style seems to be working!

Angelino was an interesting signing and I'll be looking forward to seeing how he develops. You started the season with 2 very good wins and then this month was quite good as well. Aside from the Real loss but they are a good side. You also won your Derby which is always a plus! Sitting 2nd in the table is great work and long may the form continue in the coming months!

Hertha BSC 0 - 0 Borussia Mönchengadbach

Spoiler

(played on Legendary)

The game between two top five teams was meant to be a very exciting and action-packed match but it wasn't that at all. There were only three shots on target in the whole game and pretty much everything that happened was the two teams passing the ball around.

Borussia Dortmund 2 - 1 Hertha BSC
Reus 21', 45'
Kalou 90'
(played on Legendary)

With this victory Borussia Dortmund need only one point from the two remaining games to win. Dortmund were dominant and controlled the tempo of the game. They got the lead halfway through the first half with a beautifully placed free kick by Marco Reus. The winger went ahead and got a brace in stoppage time from the penalty spot. Hertha tried to equalise the game but they failed at that. Salomon Kalou managed to pull just one back in stoppage time after cutting in from the right.

Hertha BSC 3 - 1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Stocker 43', Kalou 57', Ronny 84'
Aigner 21'

The Berliners needed all three points from this game to remain in a good position in the fight for Europa League spots. Things didn't start off well when Stefan Aigner was left unmarked in the box and he scored from a low cross with a nice volley. After that Hertha went on the attack and really looked for the equalising goal. They got it in the 43rd minute when the ball from a corner fell to Valentin Stocker right at the edge of the box. The attacking midfielder took control of the ball, let it hit the ground once and he shot it with the outside of his foot to the top left corner! Fifteen minutes later Salomon Kalou got his 20th league goal of the season when he dribbled around a defender in the box before positioning the ball into the bottom right corner. Half an hour later Änis Ben-Hatira started a counter attack by playing Kalou through on goal. The Ivorian passed the ball Ronny inside the box and he had an easy job tapping it into the net. Roy Beerens got injured for three months in the game.

1899 Hoffenheim - Hertha BSC

Hamburger SV - Schalke 04

Going into the final game of the season the situation was like this: Hertha BSC were in sixth, two points ahead of Schaiße - I mean Schalke- 04. Hertha had a better goal difference and a draw was everything they needed to qualify for the Europa League through the league. Schalke on the other hand were also qualified through the cup: Bayern and Dortmund were the two finalists but because both of them had already qualified for the Champions League the team in seventh qualifies for the Europa League. It was more about pride and the amount of prize money at this point. Hertha Berlin were up against Hoffenheim away from home and Schalke faced HSV, also away.

Hertha BSC started the game in average fashion. They abused the wings like they always do but Andreas Beck on the right didn't let almost anything go past him. They had a few chances but they were all saved by Baumann in goal. Hoffenheim also had a few good attacks but Hertha's defence had a good game, too.

Half time: 1899 Hoffenheim 0 - 0 Hertha BSC
...........Hamburger SV 0 - 1 Schalke 04

The second half started. Hertha knew that the result at the moment would satisfy them but Hoffenheim could've taken the lead and ruin the game. The Berliners continued attacking and they had some chances from range and from the box that were saved by Baumann. The 90th minute was closing and Ronny hit the post with a longshot. A few minutes later Valentin Stocker hit the crossbar. It felt like the net was under some kind of a spell. Then the fourth official put his board in the air showing the amount of stoppage time: two minutes. Hertha tried hard to score and then it happened. Valentin Stocker ran into the box and he was taken down! The referee rightfully gave the penalty and Salomon Kalou stepped up to take it. Every second felt like a minute for the Berliners. The Ivorian took a few steps backwards, started his run, shot the ball to the right of the keeper... and it went it! Hertha BSC had taken the lead with the last kick of the game!The referee blew his whistle right after the game was re-started. Hertha had finished in sixth!

Full time: 1899 Hoffenheim 0 - 1 Hertha BSC
..........Hamburger SV 1 - 1 Schalke 04

Player of the Season

Salomon Kalou

Kalou was the league top scorer with his 21 goals and he secured loads of points for his team. Without him Hertha BSC couldn't have finished in sixth like they did. Sadly Kalou is getting older but the board of the club still believes in him.

April was very strong and a point at Bayern is a good point! Kalou has been really in form as shown in May! Tough to loss to Dortmund but they were the Champions so no shame in that. You bounced back in the next game and then there was a really dramatic finale! No one could have made it up! Also I liked the backdrop to the final games and I look forward to another Simp transfer window!
