Malaga Mending Part 2
I also do want to apologise for part one. For putting images in the comment section instead of on the post. I also think it was a bit rushed in general. I’ve put images at the top of the post this time due to potential spoilers if you wanted to look at an image at the bottom.
Summer transfer window:
We manage to recruit one more player alongside our Sevilla loanee Manu Bueno, who is Iñigo Cordoba[1] from Burgos for £800k. We’ve decided to make our transfer policy Spanish nationality only until we gain promotion. After that, we can sign two non-Spanish players per season( one from EU and one anywhere ). We’ll be able to sign more non-Spanish players following higher table finishes but we’ll get into that once necessary.
First half of the season
We have a bit of a crisis with the stadium though. You’d think a 30k capacity stadium would be enough for a 2nd tier side but no, we sell 26k season tickets. To make things worse, it’s council owned. I ask board for expansion but I’ve only just gotten here so they reject us.
August starts brilliantly for us. After our games in the introduction where we lost 3-0 to Almeria and a 4-1 win over Leganes, we manage to draw one and win two games and gain manager of the month [2]. Forget playoffs or mid table, we might get automatic promotion.
September is good too with 2W-2L-1D. October hits badly though with us losing 4 of our next 5 games such as Racing Santander, Cordoba and Valladolid.
We turn around however and win 5-3 in an 8 goal haul of Deportivo La Coruña. Dissapointingly, we draw 3-3 with bottom of the table F.C Andorra. But hey, we’ve got more neutrals who are no longer neutral. We have a tactical change in which Manu Bueno plays as DM OoP. Two more wins in December puts our squad 7th in the table.
Spanish Cup-
We start of the Spanish Cup with a win to 4th tier Reus 3-1 thanks to our 3 goal corers.
Unfortunately, a Dani Sanchez own goal sends up crashing out of the cup against 3rd tier fellow Andalusian side Algeciras.
Where we currently are:
We are 7th in the table and I would say we should shout out our top scorer Chupete whose goals have sent us forward up the table. Our next Isco, Dani Lorenzo has also netted high G/A and significantly helped us.
We are finishing at Dec 19th within a large offseason where won’t play a (competitive) game til Jan 19th.
We’ll have the Jan transfer window and we’ll finish the season within the next one or two series so stay put.
But even though it isn’t January, we make an offer for a center-back of the future from local side Antequera, who we’ll introduce later.
Thank you for reading and don’t forget to upvote and comment for more.
I hope we can mend Malaga to the top flight and beyond.
