The board expects me to get a respectable league position AND reach the seventh round of the cup.
i got a transfer budget of 1.61M
and 12.5k Available Wage budget.
i think that's a lot of money for this club.
The season started in the Belgian cup, we had to Play Olsa Brakel.
As it was the first game of the season i would be happy with a boring win.
In the First half the team didn't manage to dominate the game.
In the second half i Brought Stevens on.
He scored and secured us a place in the 5th round of the cup.

Joris Jehan, good footballer, annoying to have in your team.
He is a 24year old french central defender, last season he was a key member of the squad.
Also this season he is important, actually i don't like it, because he gets complacent.
he aso doesn't like my team talks, we don't have the best relation.Beside's that,
he is a wonderfull player, with his 192cm he is also dangerous in the other teams' box.
Antwerp United 1-0 Olsa Brakel
The next game was in the 2nd league against Zulte Waregem, who relegated last season.
We really didn't manage to play our own game.
Apart from a goal by Latasa, we got dominated. Antwerp United 1-3 Zulte Waregem
Now we had to play the 5th round of the Belgian cup Against Wetteren.
A game that we should easily win. SO i deided to give a couple of youngsters a chanche.
The game was decided already in the first half.
With goals by Cascio and Stevens

So who is that guy? Djo Kipoy? He is a 24 year old congolese Left defender.
He joined my team last year for free, last season he played a lot, but this season he lost his first team place ..
simply because i signed someone better.

Yakinu scored and won us the game.

Yes, he is Ganiyu iddi's brother. Yakinu is a 27Year old Ghanaian attacking midfielder.
He is the oldest and thus most experienced of the 2 brothers.
he is relatively small(174cm). i bought him from KVM in the summer.
when he plays togheter with his brother, he plays better.

the next game was the 6th round of the cup. against Westerlo.
Westerlo promoted last year to the 1st division. winning this would be a hard task.
