VfL Wolfsburg - Die Wölfe bite back


http://s1206.photobucket.com/user/blyzee1/media/150px-Vfl_Wolfsburgsvg_zps37652cbd.png.html

Verein für Leibesübungen Wolfsburg e. V. is a professional German association football club based in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony. Wolfsburg play in the Bundesliga, the top tier of the German football league system. Wolfsburg have won the Bundesliga once in their history, in the 2008–09 season, and were DFB-Pokal runners-up in 1995.]


Hi Gentleman (and ladies if there are any), I've decided to start a save with Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga as I have always loved their name! My objective will be to try and make them the richest club in the world and ultimately global domination. My aim is to try and set up a strong defensive side that concede very little goals home and away and make us into that team that everyone dreads playing! My philosophy has always been try to keep it rigid and structured and then hit teams on the break and I will try to implement this into my Die Wölfe side! Hopefully this will take off and I will try to bring you updates after every month, any new signings made and players gone out and much more! Here's to global domination!


Cheers!
Good luck and I love your user name :D

Ha, Cheers mate, I have always liked the DLP position in my formations, whether I choose to use it in my side this time is another matter!
Good luck, I love all German stories, especially if they're good, which this seems to be so far :P

Die Wölfe appoint controversial Eric Cantona

http://s1206.photobucket.com/user/blyzee1/media/hi-res-120378746_display_image_zps6dca8abf.jpg.html

"There is a fine line between genius and insanity. Cantona, perhaps, trod closer to the line than most"

Éric Daniel Pierre Cantona born 24 May 1966 is a French manager and former international footballer for the French national team. He played for Auxerre, Martigues, Marseille, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Nîmes and Leeds United before ending his professional footballing career at Manchester United, where he won four Premier League titles in five years and two League and FA Cup Doubles.
Cantona is often regarded as having played a key role in the revival of Manchester United as a footballing force in the 1990s and he enjoys iconic status at the club. He wore the number 7 shirt at United, which was previously worn by George Best and Bryan Robson, and subsequently worn by David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. Cantona is affectionately nicknamed by Manchester United fans as "King Eric", and was voted as Manchester United's greatest ever player by Inside United magazine. Set against his footballing achievements was a poor disciplinary record for much of his career, including a conviction for assault on a fan in 1995, although his disciplinary record was much improved after he returned from his eight-month suspension right up to his retirement as a player two years later.

"Radja is a great signing for us, I have always been a fan of his style as he is a very determined player. I have brought him here to bring some defensive stability just in front of the back four, he's a young gifted player with a bright future ahead of him. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how he progresses this season" said Cantona

Pre-season results

Cantona said - "We've had a tough pre-season but I know it will be worth it in the end, I'm not to worried at this stage as I've been implementing my rigid system and once the lads become fluid with my style we should reap the benefits"
Great start to your first story (which I think it is) Like that you like to play defensively and rigidly which not many people tend to do.

Great choice of team and manager, keep it up and will definitely follow :)

Cantona Explained (in a French accent) "We have had a fantastic start to the season, the boys are really starting to gel within the system and is showing in results we have had in this first month and a half. We did have a bad loss against FC Bayern on the opening day of the season, but that was to be expected as we were huge underdogs. Since then we have gone on a nice little unbeaten run and we hope it continues!"

"We have had a great start to the season, sitting up in there in 4th position at the moment is better than what I was hoping for so everyone involved in the club is ecstactic at present. We have a media prediction of 8th, but I'm aiming for European football next season!" Cantona said
Apart from Bayern, good to see little goals getting through :) Some good tesults in there keep it up.
Hmmm, nice start to your story. I like the layout for the articles but the results look kind of weird but understandable which is good :P

Take that as constructive criticism because I'm definitely going to be a keen follower of this story :D

"Its been another great month for me and lads here, we were unbeaten this month plus we managed to get ourselves in to the 3rd Round of the German Cup. The Rigid philosophy is really starting to take effect and teams are finding it hard to break us down and get any chances at our goal. I just hope the lads keep buying into this system and we can forge on in the league and cup"

Cantona speaking to RTL "We are really challenging the big boys in this league and with 4 wins out of 4 this month they should be worried. I have got a great set of players here, all very determind and lots of the teams are now dreading playing us with our good defensive record. The players have now gelled together and putting in some great performances, whos know what's on the horizon!"
Going strong in the league!
