Revenge of the Overpowered Tactic

We should be fine this season.

Destroying Zibo

I’m not sure why Zibo Cuju decided to show up for this match.

There was nobody at all in their stadium. I suppose limiting the audience proved to be a sort of face-saving measure for Zibo.

We scored early and often. Mueanta had a hat trick, Jeong San-Bin scored, Zhu Bin scored, and both Lavia and Wade managed to score from their defensive midfield positions.

In the end, we came away with a huge 9-0 victory.

Maybe we’re better than I thought. Or maybe the quality of this league is just a hair behind the European Conference League.

Li Min

Share Football Manager Projects

We had a new face out there against Zibo.

His name is Li Min. He’s 17 years old and plays attacking right wing. He’s one of the young Chinese players that I want to give more playing time to, chiefly to ensure that we’re not bitten too badly by the various UEFA squad registration requirements as the years go by.

We bought Li Min from Neimenggu Caoshangfei a few months ago. He was on our under-19 team for a little while. I decided to pull him up to the first team based mostly on his personality and the potential that I see in him.

My assistant manager Han Songfeng doesn’t think that Li Min has the potential to play at this level. Apparently Mr. Han missed the fact that Li Min scored against Zibo. He’s fast and can shoot from range; he’ll be just fine.

Mueanta’s Concerns

Suphanat Mueanta came up to me looking distraught the other day.

Apparently he was really upset that we didn’t last longer in the Conference League than we did.

I was about to tell him that it was his own fault. I mean, he played really poorly in those matches. Not only did he not score, but he did very little to help our offense out.

Fortunately, Suphanat cheered up as soon as I spoke with him, and seems to have dropped the issue.

Chinese Super Cup

We’ve got one of those one-off cup matches coming up next.

We’re playing against Shandong in the Super Cup. Shandong, of course, won the Chiense Super League last year, and are currently fighting to get to the UEFA Champions League Group Stage.

I think we’ve got a chance, but we’ll see. If we do win this one, I’m going to conclude that we’re simply the best team in the country.
