Hello and Welcome to my first FM-Story!
Introduction:
Who is Salvatore Beretta? Salvatore is my Italian alter-ego (been using the name for all my career modes, both in FIFA and FM a long time.) I have been in love with Italy and its football ever since I was about 8 years old and saw Totti for the first time on tv.
I love everything about Italy, the cars, the women, the food, the football, the clothes.
I can't play with any teams outside of the Italian Series, If I do.. I just get bored after a short time. I can't even pick my favorite team Atletico Madrid, because I don't want my god, Diego "Cholo" Simeone to loose his job at Atletico. I just can't stand the fact that I'm the one who is getting Cholo sacked.
What team will I use and why?:
I will play as Udinese, because I love underdogs who are doing a lot with a little. I have been very inspired by Francesco Guidolins work in Udinese the last couple of years. (The coach of Udinese).
Udinese have been buying very cheaply and turning their players to top quality players.
