Day by Day

Daily Diary 1st August 2013

Welcome to my new save , played in real time from the 1st August , due to the fact I have a full month to play in one day , the idea of this is not just to tell you about my career on FM but everything else that happens from the Asian Youth Cup to the Copa Libertardores.

The save starts on the 1st August with , all divisions of France and Premier League to League 2 loaded in England , with the top leagues of Argentina, Australia, Belguim, Brazil, China, Holland, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, South Africa and Spain loaded.

The team I will be playing as through the season is PSG , one of my favourite teams to be on football manager due to the money but now they have competition with Monaco which will make the league a lot harder to win however I still exist us to win the league by at least 8 points.

The Board expect me to win the Ligue 1 and the French Cup , while reaching the final of the Champions League and have disregarded the French Champions Trophy and Coupe Da Ligue.



Before I took over the Champions Trophy had already been played in New Jersey which we lost 3-2 , a rather scrappy game took place which saw 7 yellow cards and 5 goals Gomis gave Lyon the lead after 13 minutes beating Sirgu at his near post , Ibra then equalised for us before Brian's scored a screamer from 25 yards out , the game was wrapped up by wonder kid Benzia in the 73rd minute before Menez scored a consolation goal in stoppage time.

Transfers and Contracts

Assistant Manager David Bechkoura has offered to find left backs available on loan. While Patrick Paillot has been offered a coaching role as tactical expert due to the current coaching staff not being able to cover this, a contract of £2100 until Jul 2014 has been offered.

Abel Hernandez has been offered to the club for £4.7 Million which has resulted in JP Dindane turning down the chance due to league rules as PSG already have 4 registered non EU players. Meanwhile according to Caught Offside Dindane is set to make an offer of 11M to secure the devices of want away Italian striker Alessandro Matri , the club have not commented on this issue however Juventus have received an £7.25M bid.

Over in South Africa , Black Leopards have appointed former coach Abel Makhubele as manager on a two year deal worth £1100 a week.

Coupe De La Ligue Kicks Off

In the first round of Coupe de la Ligue FC Metz were knocked out by Angers 3-1 after goals from Auriac , Ayari and N'Same , the rest of the first round games take place next Tuesday.

Looking forward to this! Good Luck

Olympiacos are the most successful club in Greek football history, having won a record 40 League titles, a record 26 Greek Cups, a record 16 doubles and a record 4 Greek Super Cups (a total record of 70 national titles). Olympiakos' dominating success is further signified by the fact that all the other Greek clubs have won a combined total of 37 League titles. It is one of three clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight of Greek football; in European competitions, they have reached the quarter-finals twice, in the 1998–99 UEFA Champions League and the 1992–93 European Cup Winners' Cup. Olympiakos is also one of the founding members of the European Club Association.
The club's stadium is the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. Olympiakos are the most popular Greek club with around two and a half million fans in Greece and are worth £21.5 Million. They share a great and long-standing rivalry with Panathinaikos, with whom they contest the derby of the eternal enemies.

Olympiakos v PSG

PSG travelled to Greece to take part in their first ore season game of the season at Georgios Karaiskakis Arena.

Here are the line ups:

Bet 365 make PSG 6-4 Favourites , with Olympiakos 13-8 and a draw at 2-1.

Giannis Chonos of Sportday predicts " I fancy PSG to win this , having looked at the line ups , I expect their quality to show today.

The game is live on ESPN:

18" Machado connects from a. Joel Campbell cross but heads wide.

19" A Bodmer shot is blocked but breaks to Ibra who blazes over

24" A Salino through ball causes havoc but Campbell puts it into the side netting.

31" A Cavani Cross is cleared to Jallet who crosses to Bodmer whose powerful header is topped over.

46" Half Time , No Goals Yet but PSG look lively on the break.

45" The Referee restarts the game.

53" A Cavani free kick is cleared and Olympiakos bring on Fuster and Papadopolus for Medjani and Maniatis

58" A Torres free kick I'd played short to Machado wifi beats his man and shoots with Douchez tipping the ball over

64" Douchez long goal kick finds Pastore who plays it to Lavezzi who puts it wide.

73" Lavezzi delivers a corner but Sakho heads straight at Roy Carroll

92" Full Time , Ibrahimovic will think he could of done more but at least it's a clean sheet in Dindane's first game back.

Chonos" Olympiakos will be the happier fans however the PSG manager will be wondering how they failed to score".

Man Of The Match: M.Sahko

JP Dindane “The players are very disappointed in themselves , they knew we should have won this game and frankly they have let the fans and the badge down and I may have to change my tactics for the next game”

PSG’s next game is a proposed friendly either against Panathinaikos or at home to FC Copenhagen scheduled for 4th August.
