NCE D2 CUP
Quarter-Final Results:
Roda JC 2-
2 Sparta Rotterdam
I lost 1-0 in the first leg, at home, to an Oper goal. I played quite well in the game but my players couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net and poor defending during a corner gave away a goal. The game away I won 2-1 with two fine goals from Bouaouzan, Oper scored late on in the game but I held on to go thought to the semi-finals against NAC Breda. Both the tie was played with my substitute players so, it was quite a good result.
Other Results:
RKC Waalwijk 3-
4 NAC Breda
Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-0 Vitesse

Team & Formation
I’m currently playing with a 4-3-3 formation that looks like this:
…………………………….Terol
(GK)
Bruma
(RB)…Schenkel
(CB).…Olfers
(CB).…Polak
(LB)
…………………………….van Bueren
(DMF)
……………………Obadai/Rose
(CMF).…Medunjanin
(CMF)
……………………Bouaouzan
(RWF)….D. van Dijk
(LWF)
………………………………Anastasiou (c)
(CF)
I’m still playing around with different tactics and game plans. I’m thinking of using the strategy plan A and B to use as a change of tactics at some stage duirng a match depending on the situation i.e. a goal down with 10 minutes and need to change into a attacking formation.
Here is a short overview of my team for the first half of the season. Anastasiou is the captain of my team and is being playing well so far this season with 3 goals scored. Medunjanin is a tall AMF, who can play as CMF, where I’m currently playing him; his been playing well so far this season and looks like one for the future. Polak is the LB who takes the short and long free-kicks for me. Obadai is the promising utility midfielder who I’m using as a CMF for my system, needs to improve his balance; he gets knocked of the ball to easily. That’s the main reason why I sometimes use Rose over Obadai, since his tall and strong. Terol, former FC Utrecht player, is my goalkeeper. Bouaouzan is very good WG, fast, agile, aggressive and very good dribbling skills. Olfers is the CB that partners Schenkel at the back; His got some really good abilities for a CB and seems quite lively (moves further up the pitch during matches).
Sparta are looking to sign the Australian international come the end of the season

Transfers
IN:
Kennedy [CF] (1. FC Nürnberg) ------> Sparta Rotterdam -
Loan Transfer (16 weeks)
-
Kennedy is a giant of a CF who’ll be used in the cup matches and as a late replacement for Anastasiou during league games. I couldn’t afford to buy him on a permanent deal, so I decided to loan him for 16 weeks and I’ll be looking to sign him on a permanent deal in the off-season. Kennedy is basically a tall, strong CF who’ll be playing as a target man, in between the two WF. He does lack pace and a finishing touch, but his only 24 years old, so hopefully he’ll improve (that’s if I can sign him on permanent deal) and can become an ideal replacement for Anastasiou.
OUT:
Kerklaan [GK] (Sparta Rotterdam) ------> Celtic -
Loan Transfer (17 weeks)
-
I decided to loan out the 19 year old keeper to Celtic, since his 3rd in the pecking order to Ponk and Terol.
Emnes [CF/WF/AMF] (Sparta Rotterdam) ------> 1. FC Nürnberg -
Loan Transfer (17 weeks)
-
Emnes is a promising CF who won’t get a lot games in my team, so I loaned him out to 1. FC Nürnberg for the rest of the season and hopefully he play some games for them (might even play against me).
