Hull – the most interesting is ahead!
Hello, dear readers! Hull story continues and today I would like to share some interesting information regarding progress of my club in different tournaments.
Hull players and European awards
But let’s start from players and their achievements. I have some great news!
Ochoa
Suddenly Francisco Gullermo Ochoa got Goalkeeper of the Year award! He made me really proud. Now I think that I have the best keeper in the world when Ochoa makes his next save. What I can say… He is truly wonderful goalkeeper and Hull captain whose saves sometimes decide the results of the most important games (for instance, those that I had against Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United).
Rakic
My another pride is Milovan Rakic. His price became near $50M, his continental reputation has grown highly just because the guy scores goals confidently and stably independent of opponent’s strength. By the way, one of his most valuable abilities is the percentage of scored goals when Rakic comes out one-on-one with a goalkeeper! It’s always more possible that he wouldn’t fail one-on-one moment than vice versa.
Rakic got to the “substitution bench” of World Team of the Year. Moreover, he was nominated for the Best European Footballer award (Golden Ball)!
Team and its progress in tournaments
Currently I like the latest results and quality of football shown by the players:
FA Cup
At first you may see that my Hull is very successive in FA Cup overcoming Arsenal (goal of Suarez and saves of Ochoa provided the victory) and Manchester United (Buonanotte – man of the match with 1 goal and 1 assist).
So now we have a nice chance to win our first trophy when the main rivals are out of the tournament. The next obstacle on the way to the trophy is Tottenham.
Champions League
The first knockout round game with Schalke was pretty complicated. Hull was loosing with 2:0 score on the 76th minute!!! But then Shakhov and Brand provided a comfortable draw with effective shots! German team is not so strong and I think my Hull will enter a quarterfinal phase. But sure it’s necessary to be very careful in the second match.
Premier League
In the previous Hull story post I described the situation when my club was in 7 points from Arsenal. Now the distance is shorter. Only 3 points!
I would like to single out important away Premier League win against Arsenal. Just look to the match stats:
Decisive goal was scored by our best forward Milovan Rakic. Unfortunately he was injured in the next match with the Gunners in FA Cup… 3-4 months I am made to use Zeefuik and Ugbah instead of Rakic on the edge of attack:
In the end I want to tell you that I hope the battle for title will be hot and my players will show a real performance from their side!

@ anon:
i would use rooney and welbeck on the winger positions in the 4-1-4-1 because of their speed and dribbling...
as for attack; rossi, then berbatov....

Anonymous,
my game is unique one. I don't want to have it played by other people because I write about it to the blog. I can only share my game when Football Manager 2010 is released.
Vitaly, can you not even post up your game 1-2 weeks before fm 10 release?
Ok, I will post my game when FM 2010 Demo (not the full game itself) is released
Please u try Miguel Veloso The best midfielder in my team
When does the demo come out
What team do u support mate? And who do u prefer Celtic or Rangers
hi vitaliy,
when we can vote for your team in FM 2010??? did u ever try italian team before???
in my game there are a few coincident that really happen in real life. such as ancelotti go to chelsea in season 2009 / 2010, lorenzo de silvestri for fiorentina :D, Mello to juventus, zirkhov to chelsea & huntelaar to milan. it was fun eh... very dissapointing why i can't see kaka or CR7 go to madrid in my game.
Anonymous, I can't choose between Celtic and Rangers just because I am not a fan of any of these teams
roy,
nice case you described.
Be patient about voting - I think it will be started in 1-2 weeks
