In my weekend played fm to see what kind of squad I have. The first thing I noticed is that Volendam haves a young squad and not a lot of players in their 1st and 2nd squad. With the squad I had on fm I made a 4-4-2 tactic butt what tactic I might use in real I don’t know yet, it all depends on the players I can add to the squad. If all goes well we will hear if they found a Parent club for us on Monday. When I looked at the squad and made my 1st tactic I decided I will check out the rest on Monday when I arrive in Volendam. The rest of the weekend I couldn’t stop wishing it was Monday.
I woke up and thought finally this is it. Today I’ll start my new job. It was early when I arrived at the club. When I walked in I saw Stanley waiting with a few players from the 1st squad. After he introduced me we talked for a while and went to our chairman. He told me that he arranged a trip to Finland to play 3 games, And that he arranged a little competition with our Main squad, under 19’s and with Westerloo in it. So this means I have 5 matches in my pre-season. He told us about the transfers and that he received a list from Stanley with some names on it including new players for my squad. I told him that It was ok and I trust in Stanley’s judgment. I asked our chairman about a parent club and he told us that he hasn’t found one yet and they are still looking. After we had the talk I went to the training ground to see the rest of the players from both squads. After an introduction round Stanley and me started you first training. This was the beginning of a great start. After 2 hours the training was over and we headed to the cafeteria for some lunch.
After a few days at the club we where 1 day away from our first pre season match against Volendam -19. We had to play 3 games in 3 days. First up was Volendam -19 we won that match with 1-3. The next day we were up against Volendam we lost that match with 1-4 and the last day Westerloo was our opponent we lost with 1-6 and became 3th in the competition.
In the mean while I saw several new faces at Volendam. Stanley told me he had some new players and if they can proof themselves they can stay with him and if not he would make sure I can use them. The same deal we made with injured players. When players from our 1st team were injured Stanley would send them to my squad until they are match fit. After a few more days of training we were on a flight to Finland to play yet again 3 matches in 3 days. Our opponents were HJK, PK-35 II and MPS.
Our first match HJK was to strong and we lost with 4-1, the match against Pk went a little bit better butt still we lost with 2-0. The last match against MPS went good we won with 2-3 not a lot of difference in both teams. I still haven’t found the right tactics. We stayed one more day in Finland to bond the team. The day we went back I forgot my stuff in the hotel butt I thought of it when we were in the air.
Also i would like to show you the transfers Stanley has made until now
At this time Anderson and Zeefuik are in mine squad.
