Cup Double!
This is what our season came down to. Two finals. Two oppositions. Two trophies that I was desperate to add to our cabinet.
German Cup Final...
So far in my time at FC Bayern München I have won every trophy available, apart from one; the German Cup. In my first season at FC Bayern München we had suffered defeat in only the third round against a very impressive Gladbach side that fully deserved to go on in the competition. Unfortunately for them they did go out in the semi final stage against HSV. It was a shock to the in-game footballing world that the team touted as the ones to beat in the competition would go out so early on. If this early exit did anything for me on a personal level, it made me determined to make amends and finally get my hands on the German Cup trophy.
I set out my strongest side with Adjei leading the line with Grealish, Richard Allione, Strobl and Rinaldi falling in just behind him. The back four was made up of Yabu, Aurier, Tedjav, Peron (captain) and despite his constant bitching, I stuck by Jonas Olsen and allowed him to play in the final of the competition he had been our number one in. As you can see from the statistics, our superiority in attack didn’t take long to become evident. The shots rained in on the Frankfurt goal and it was only a matter of time before we broke them down. Aurier has scored a number of headers from corners this season and this is exactly what he did. What a header! Dominic Adjei then took centre stage and did what he does best and scores goals. The Bundesliga’s top goalscorer helped himself to a goal just before half time which pretty much signalled the end of any slim chance that Frankfurt thought they had of getting back into the game.
The second half was a repeat of the first. We continued to dominate possession and passed the ball around the hapless Frankfurt midfield. Eventually Jurgen Klein who had been brought on late on in the game helped himself to a goal. He is definitely a player with potential and one to look out for next season. Late drama was provided at the end of the game by Adjei who showed just what he is capable of. Overall it was a fantastic performance, not quite flawless, but fantastic. The trophy was heading to our cabinet.
Champions League Final...
As far as Champions League finals go, this one was quite a dull affair. I tend to play matches using the key moments feature and despite there being twenty six shots on goal, FM decided that not many of them were worth seeing. This made for a very boring game with only one moment that stood out and that was Dominic Adjei winning us the trophy. It was quite a fortunate goal with Madrid making an uncharacteristic mistake in defence and with Adjei set to poacher; he pounced and slammed the ball into the back of the net.
Unfortunately there really isn’t much else to say about the final apart from that we retained the trophy and is sat in our cabinet instead of Madrid’s. What I will do instead is take the time to explain to you that this story will be coming to an end for a short while, with the possibility of it not being updated again. The reason is that I can only see the save going one way and that is the way my Liverpool story went and that is with me winning everything. This may come across as me being cocky in my ability but I have done it before and I know the tell tell signs. I don’t want to be playing the save just for the sake of it but instead be presented with a challenge. This story has achieved one of its two aims. It has surpassed the number of views that my Liverpool one received and the number is continuing to increase; part of my hopes it will continue to even though I will not be updating it again. I haven’t quite achieved the second aim which was to continue with the save until retirement again (in-game) but on the other hand, I have gone as far as I ever have done before in a save and that is enough for me. I therefore have decided to start a new save with a brand new club; which club you ask? Well wouldn’t you like to know...
