YOU'LL NEVER WOK ALONE
'THE REDS GO TO JAPAN'
WORLD CLUB CUP
JAPAN 2011
Yep....the reward for winning the UEFA Champions League is a chance to pack the team off to the far east at a crucial time in the season and try and become 'the best team in the world' apparently.
Now I've always felt that FM08 lacks the facility to have players disgrace themselves more. Ok, so we get to fine them for skipping training but in the real world players occassionly let themselves down whilst on tour etc.
In a purely fictional sense and in no way an accurate portrayal of actual player behaviour...I'd like to think that on the first night Ever Banega was removed by security in the early hours from a seedy Tokyo bar...missing his shoes....my decision to put Garay and Marcelo as roomates (a little bonding might sort out thier fued) resulted in guests at the hotel complaining of loud abusive behaviour and the smashing of glass....Marcelo was found in the morning sleeping in the lift.
Lucus spent the night in hospital after losing at cards and having to eat a rancid squid from a market stall....
Carragher, Hobbs and Gerrard were all last seen in an English theme bar singing old kids cartoon songs and in varying stages of undress at 4am.
Ok, back to the football...now my experience of this tournament is that you get matched up against some minnow in the semi final to ensure that you reach the final, so getting paired with Chivas was not what I had in mind....however my team put thier antics behind them and got on with the job in hand....
I know...I was surprised too...even more surprising was that Palmerias managed to get dumped out the competition by the Japanese representitive....thus giving me a good chance of winning the trophy...
Nice and easy...and Breno...I want him drug tested...that's his 2nd hatrick....
The players were bundled onto the plane home before they could go to celebrate, another trophy for the cabinet...and the winning streak that goes on and on...
Chelsea away next in the league cup...that should mess things up....
