So my
Pes 2011 journey kept going.
I unfortunately lost my most important titles; after a good head to head with me and Inter, Fiorentina won the Serie A and following some not good performances I slowly faded away in the last league games, catching with more than some struggle the third place (good to avoid CL preliminary turn).
In CL I did an epic match against Barça, I won 0-1 at Camp Nou (after the 2-2 of the first game) (also worth noting this magnificent right missile of CR7 from 35 meters or something which almost vanified what I did:
and advanced to the semifinals, where I found in some kind of international derby, Liverp.. ehhr Merseyside Red, which unfortunately eliminated me in an heart pounding double face off; I lost the first game 2-0, with a great Gerrard proving why he was elected best player of the CL, then in the return match I almost believed I could make it when I performed a perfect 2 goals come back, only to have a Jarolim pass error in defense condemn me in the overtime.
Only joy of this season came from the Italian Cup, which I finally won against the same Napoli who beat me to it in the previous season and constitutes the first trophy of this ML. Scored this beauty in the final:
Which definitely made me fall in love with Toristao, a fake player who I bought just to cover a void, but that now will stay with me till the end.
Anyway, they must hate the Coppa Italia or something at Konami cause they didn't even gave me a proper Cup.. just the medals LOL:
a bit weird

.
Season ended and since I finally had some money, I hired 5 stars coaches wherever I hadn't one and put to maximum the other things like the fan club. Now I have a club working at his full potential.
Then the market came.
Out Oscar Cordoba (he was "desperate for a move" probably cause he never saw the field as a second keeper), Jarolim (he pays the CL error

, never went crazy for him) and Aubameyang (simply disappointing), plus guys like Ceciu (retired) and El Moubarki (end of his contract).
In Milner, Cavani and Van Der Sar from the youth team as the new second.
Then after I thought that no good offers would have ever come for my players.. here they come with 40 fucking millions for Walker

.
Had to accept it, promoted another fake legend (Virota) as the appointed right back and searched for a world class midfielder.. tried for Pjanic, but they asked me a crazy 60 millions plus that would have polverized my finances; had for a moment the Dinho temptation, but resisted it; Iniesta didn't even want to treat with me and I finally settled for Modric in the last market day (still have to line him up).
In the meantime I started the new season with a draw, a loss against Roma at Olimpico stadium and finally a victory against Inter in my own field.
I have abudance in the attack compartment (Schwarz, Lukaku, Cavani and Sanchez for two shirts) and I'm somewhat short in the others, with just 3 central defenders, not a single classy midfielder after my three starting ones (Milner, Modric and Ramires) and no true substitutes on the sides. Wanted to play some 3-5-2 but I'll probably stick with 4-3-1-2. Will be a fun but surelly hard season

.. this game is perfect for some good emergent storytelling.
