Xavante - Brasil de Pelotas

So I have started with this team, starting off in the Brazilian Third Tier and am planning to take them to the top as soon as possible, though it is mainly a 5 year plan to get them to the top tier and a 10 year plan to win the league. I have just finished the 1st Stage Groups where 4 teams are relegated, 8 teams are safe and another 8 go through to the second stage. Here's how we are doing so far:

Caxias 3:3 Brasil de Pelotas
Goalscorers:Marcos Denner, Luiz Carlos, Guilherme

Brasil de Pelotas 5:1 Marilia
Goalscorers:Asprilla, Rafael Xavier, Gleisson, Luiz Carlos, Juba

Luverdense 0:3 Brasil de Pelotas
Goalscorers:Leleu, Juninho, Gleisson

Brasil de Pelotas 1:1 Chapecoense
Goalscorers:Luiz Carlos

Brasil de Pelotas 2:1 Caxias
Goalscorers:Guilherme, Carlos Alberto

Marilia 1:1 Brasil de Pelotas
Goalscorers:Luiz Carlos

Chapecoense 2:0 Brasil de Pelotas

Luverdense 0:0 Brasil de Pelotas



So we got through as group winners by 3 points, Chapecoense, the only side to beat us and for us not to beat in the group, also got through, and we face them in the second stage too:

Group B:

Brasil de Pelotas
Chapecoense
CRB
Ipatinga

So we're off to a good start, now to see where we can take it from here, 3 straight games without a win after a good start, can we get rid of this form or will we face another season in the lowest tier of Brazilian football? Only 2 teams from each group progresses, here's hoping!

This is so interesting, still can't figure out all the nuances of Brazilian league rules but will follow this and see how you do.

Cheers

So, the promoted and the ones who came close are seperated now by 6 games, here we go:

Brasil de Pelotas 2:1 Chapecoense

Ipatinga 3:1 Brasil de Pelotas

CRB 2:0 Brasil de Pelotas

Capecoense 2:0 Brasil de Pelotas

Brasil de Pelotas 2:0 Ipatinga

Brasil de Pelotas 1:2 CRB

So, if we had beaten CRB we'd have come second in the group, a draw would have done us no favours and I knew that before the game. So close to promotion but the way we played the last 9 games, it was never to be!

Decided to load up a few more leagues so when they become available I might see if there are any interesting jobs, not sure just yet though, have to wait and see!

Well, after 4 more games, including a 10-0 defeat to Internacional, all games played in the Gaucho state open, I have decided to resign, the team just wouldn't gel to any tactic I incorporated. Will have to see where I end up now!

Excellent start to your adventure.

So after nearly a year since getting my first job, I have finally got my second job!

Haverfordwest County of the Welsh league! After contemplation between them and Porthmadog I decided to go for these guys. They have a very nice wage budget but I have had to hire an assistant from Sierra Leone so how good he will be I do not know!

Hopefully I can steer clear of relegation, predicted 9th of 12 with bottom 2 relegated. Going to look really closely for players to sign etc!

See you after pre-season

Yeah, Haverfordwest !!


Love it, the Welsh leagues have so much potential. Now you can get them into the Champions League and fulfill my Welsh Challenge as well !!!
