Well finally got round round to starting up my Tenerife ML Campaign:-
Started up my Tenerife game.
First game was a training match/friendly match against Cardiff City, did well against them, but lost 1-0 at home after a Kenwyne Jones goal, Jones proved to be a handful against our defenders all game.
Managed to bring in a few players before our first game against UE Llagostera away from home in the opening Adelante League.
A quick return against his former club for Alcala (CB), Apodi (RB), Miyaichi (RWF), L.Traore (CF) and Khamlenko (CD).
Played really well against them, Khamlenko picking up the MOTM award as he powered his way through the game.
Team also has some created players (quite good players actually, lol).
Goalkeeper: Ramirez (35), Experienced Chile goalkeeper.
LB: Gomez (26), Tough tackling no nonsense Spanish defender, Captain.
CM: Camacho (18), Box to Box Spanish midfielder.
DM: Gardner (25), Jamaican Work-horse in midfield who offers a bit of height too (188cm).
CF: Lopez (17), Pacey striker who offers some aerial threat too.
Started off the game very well, using the ball better than UE, who actually in the end had slightly more of the ball, but Tenerife had 4/5x more shots in the end.
First goal was scored by youngster Manual Lopez, firing in after the goalkeeper could only parry a shot, falling to Lopez who was around 12 yards or so, and managed to fire it through a ruckass of players under the goalkeeper.
The 2nd goal came in the dying seconds of the 1st half (45m+) when a clever chip from Lopez put through a very close offside positioned Lacine Traore who had just signed from Monaco to head the ball past a stranded goalkeeper.
The game was put to rest as a contest in the 63m, with a sensational 20 yarder from Gardner, who picked the ball up around 25 yards, before cutting in and firing a blistering shot off the left hand post and into the net.
Conceded a consolation by Juanjo for UE after the defence was caught a bit flat footed.
Good start to our league campaign in our 1st game.
Have also added Paredes (RB) from Watford and Zongo (RMF).
Not sure if much more transfer work will be done now.
