Player Performances....


Overall, I admit that I should be grateful as my player performance quite good. Even if we look to their reputation in a real world, they are among the best football player n the world. So, there are no reasons for a manager who manage a team like Barca cannot make sure the team perform well in the league and other cup. Player in Barca has play well throughout the season and show a very good determination to win the tittle. Ronaldinho has win the World Player of the Year.Thierry Henry has proved that he is still has a good composure infront of goal by score 15 goals in 13 appearances of the league match.
V.Valdes also plays well this season by only conceded 15 goals in 32 league's appearances. Without a good goalie like him, Barca would not manage to win the tittle for this season.

My tactic for season 07/08

I used formation 5-4-1 for Barca. I used this formation as I know that Barca has a good midfielder and striker. Even our defender line up look very good on a paper, but we still can't underestimate our opponent ability to make a goal. 5-4-1 means that we use 5 defender, but 2 of them are used also as a wing-back. So, there will be only 3 center defender.
My wing-back is Zambrotta, Sylvinho, and E.Abidal. If they injured or not fit, I will changed my tactic by using 4-4-2. When play 4-4-2, I will change team mentality to very attacking and make sure defender defend deep.
I only used 1 center midfielder and that mean player for that position need to be a player with good passing,creativity and have some defend ability.
3 attacking midfielder is good enough to make our opponent defender suffers a lot. Our player like Ronaldinho and A.Iniesta at the center will make a chance for the attack while C.Ronaldo and G.dos Santos will carried the task to make a goal and assist to the striker.
I only used 1 striker as I have Thierry Henry and Eto'o that can be a lone striker. Both of them has a very good accelaration and finishing. I only hope for them to score when they got a chance.
_____________________________

The highest rating player for Barca is C.Ronaldo with 16 goals in 38 appearances. Even C.Ronaldo is a new player in Barca, he still can adapt himself easily and play well with other player. He prove to our team that he is worth to us. Our other new player,Vagner Love, also prove his worthiness by score 10 goals in 27 appearances.
The top scorer in Barca is T.Henry with 26 goals in 26 appearances. He do a few hatrics in this season.

2007/08 League table


Barca had win the Spanish 1st Division for season 07/08. For me, the most important thing for Barca is to win the 1st Division and I happy when Barca had be the champion with style. We did not lose to other team in this season and result draw in 9 match. I use counter-attack and tight marking style to avoid lose to other team. I will use a deep defense when Barca encounter team that always play possession. When we play against team that attack fast, the player like C.Puyol and Zambrotta are needed. Puyol and Zambrotta are fast defender,so they are needed to make challenge to the opponent striker when they make a counter-attack.
Barca also play possession and launch counter-attack sometimes. I like Barca to have an attacking mentality, but at the some time we play deep defense. If we like our team to play defensive, then we can adjust our defender to play push up. This can strengthen our attacking side actually, team like R.Madrid sometime like to play push up defender. Sergio Ramos and Marcelo are defenders that like to help the striker make an attack.
Also, with our new addition to the team, C.Ronaldo, our team are very determined and confident to win all the tittle.

Barca fixtures for season 07/08...
































I had arranged Barca to play many friendly match during pre-season. I do this to build the chemistry between the players and raise their confident by play against a few giant club like Man Utd, AC Milan, R. Madrid, FC Bayern, Inter, Chelsea, Lyon, Arsenal and Valencia. I need to make a good first impressions to Board as a manager for my first season with them. So, competitive friendly match is one of the way to experiment my tactics on Barca.

At the starts of the season, Barca did not face any trouble to continue their winning run. Just only Zaragoza and PSV that almost give the upset to Barca, fortunately Barca manage to finish the match with a win to get 3 point.

As match by match, Barca got draw with Deportivo, Real Madrid, Betis, Valencia, Mallorca, At. Madrid, Villareal, Recreativo, Athletic and Lazio(Champions Cup GroupH). Barca had a good start and seem undefeated until lose to Chelsea. Barca is a team that play possession and control the ball throughout the game. I always make sure the team defend deep when play with a good team like Chelsea.

This season show to me that Barca has proved that they a good team by win the first division and champions cup. Even Barca win at the final champions cup, we only win by 1-0 against Lyon. This show to us that both team has a chance to win in that match. We all know that any team in the world will give their best play in the final.

The most memorable match is when Barca against Liverpool. Barca got a big win by 4-2(home) and 6-3(away). Even me doesn't expect that Barca can got such a result against team like Liverpool. Barca play a brilliant game and genius finishing even though Liverpool is a team that doesn't surrender easily.

My third season...


For my third season, I did not brought in many player to Barcelona. I only brought in 2 star players. World-class midfielder, Francesc Fabregas from Arsenal, I had to paid $116M to brought him into Barcelona. The Brazillian wing back, Daniel Alves from Sevila, I paid $36M to brought him in to strenghten defend in the team.

Second season...


For my second season with Barcelona, I had brought in 14 players to my club and 3 of them are from free transfer. Santiago Canizares, Juan Roman Riquelme, and Javieer Mascherano

are the players that I brought in by free transfer. The highest transfer fee I paid for this season is for Gianluigi Buffon with fee $110M from Juventus.

Buffon is the world-class goalkeeper that I really want to brought to my club. Then I bought the world-class defender, Andrea Barzagli for $90M from

Liverpool. I also bought the next Diego Maradona, Sergio Aguero for $66M from At. Madrid. This wonderkid is the hot prospect to the club for the future.

Then, I also strenghten my team's defend by bringing Maicon from Inter Milan for $47.5M and Ezequiel Garay from Racing for $38.5M. I am also happy as I managed to brought

3 talented young player into my club. Lulinha from Corinthians is just $4.1M. Sindou Kone from Dortmund is just $8.5M. Guillermo Burdisso from Livorno is just $2.4M.

First season with Barca

My first season with Barca starts with a remarkable addition to Barcelona squad. Guess who?? The remarkable addition is Cristiano Ronaldo. I managed to brought in this world-class winger from Man Utd for fee $46M. What can I say, this is the lower price that I can get from Man Utd. After a few negotiation this transfer are succeed and C.Ronaldo are Barca player.

Maybe you want to ask me how did I manage to get C.Ronaldo from Man Utd, right? Before the season starts, I praise Sir Alex Ferguson and want to become his friend. Maybe some people said that its not really a good idea to praise other manager. But, the matter here is to have a good relationship with the manager that have a player that you really want for your squad.

In this case, I want to get C.Ronaldo,so I need to have a good relationship with Ferguson and become his friend. Then, with this good relationship, I try to ask Man Utd the availability of C.Ronaldo. At first, they do not want to sell C.Ronaldo but after a few negotiation, Ferguson want to sell C.Ronaldo but with acceptable price. So, I offer them $46M, and they accept the offer.

Then, I also brought Vagner Love from LOSC Lille Metropole for fee $15.5M and Ismael Aissati from Getafe for fee $20M. I spend my entire transfer fee fund during my first season to brought star players to my club. In a nutshell, you must get at least one star player for your new club or starts of the new season.

The GOOD elements in Football Manager 2008

A) New skin - the interface looks a bit like Internet Explorer in Windows Vista with a much denser range of quick access icons at the top of the screen.

B) There are a number of useful features that can be operated with ease and efficiency which allows the user to complete the relevant tasks that set upon the user as a Football Manager.
i) Match flow - The introduction of the 2D match engine. Match flow brings more atmospheres to match days with match previews, team talks, opposition player instructions, the match itself, half time and post match now seamlessly following on from one another. There's no more pausing to make tactical changes and you'll find a mini-radar pitch whilst making those tactical changes to keep you in touch with what's going on in the match.

ii) Easier to use and learn - A much cleaner skin, a brand new advisor system to help you through various areas of the game, a new notes and notebook system, better button positioning for simpler navigation and an updated tutorial and manual. Also, coach reports to make taking over a new team easier and a new calendar system - which lists all important dates throughout the season.

iii) Transfer centre - A new way of managing all current transfer and loan bids for your club, both incoming and outgoing, making it easier to compare bids and reject or accept them. Also, whenever other rival teams make a significant signing, you are treated to a mini news feed that shows you all of the recent acquisitions made by your adversaries.

iv) Confidence tab - You can now easily know what your board and supporters think about your performance in the game through the new confidence section. This gives you feedback not just on your current progress in competitions, but also your financial management and signings.

v) A revamped finance system -Corporate match day income, season ticket news, investment funds, improved sponsorships, collective win bonuses and the ability to move around funds from the wage budget and transfer budget (and vice versa) at any point to help you in your quest for the ideal squad.

vi) Improved International management - Media improvements, international retirements, player interaction, international scouting, improved national pool selection, captain selection and a separation of international and club morale for players.

vii) Awards Overhaul - A full overhaul of the awards system inside the game, which is not only more accurate but also includes new awards, such as the European golden boot and a 'best eleven'.

viii) Expanded Media - More media and feedback than ever before, plus more detail in existing media, and a new competition news section to find out what major things are going on in all league competitions.

ix) Fan Days - The board can now arrange fan days to boost ailing attendances, or for matches that are likely to attract a low crowd, with a long-term affect to attendances if all goes well.

x) FaceGen system for computer generated players - In other words, if the game creates a player to fill the huge FM player pool and account for real player retirements (as it always has done), then that pubescent player will be given a computer generated mug-shot that ages as the player progresses through their career.

xi) Regenerated Player Photos - All in-game regenerated players now have pictures using FaceGen technology to give each player more personality. This gives the ability for players to be seen to mature and grow-up looks-wise in front of your eyes as the game is going on.

xii) Shortcut key – For example, you can press space bar key to continue the game rather than click the continue button on the interface screen.

C) Menus and selection objects – Almost all metaphors representation have textual descriptions when you move the cursor at it. Consistency of terminology also applies to all options throughout the system. Similar items are grouped in a menu map and attributes of player can be sorted in alphabetic order.

D) The use of metaphor in the interface design – For example, a ‘home’ for overview and ‘lens’ for search which are familiar to most users.

E) Emotional response - The game resonate with the player in a way that causes an emotional reaction. For example, if you win a tournament then you will get a lot of praise from your board, supporter, and other managers.

F) Contemplative response - This game cause us to think or reflect upon consequences. For example, you should the player morale will be low if you criticized his performance harshly.

G) Replayable – You can save the broadcast of your match for your own match’s moments collection.

H) Discovery - You can discover the player’s potential around the world, new strategies, new way to do the same old thing, or maybe new achievements.
