Season 91 - Are you ready?

[LeManiaque]

Last season Pueblo followed tradition and won our League 10 competition. The team was sold and I proved for myself that old players can be valuable, and resource management is key to developing a legacy team that is tough over many seasons, rather than a major refresh each season.

In both Cup and CL we were underdogs, often -20%, like I shared in my stories last season. Pueblo went out in the Quarter and Semi Finals for those competitions, and fought hard from first to last. In both, we lost the first leg by 2:3 against heavy favorites and +1 level managers. I told the boys we weren't going to lose, we'd walk away with results to make us proud. A 1-0 win and 1-1 draw didn't see us through, but the team broke my expectations.





Edit: the manager who beat me in the CL semis... he had won about 3 knockout matches, mostly draws and losses, barely sneaking through. Pueblo had won 7, I felt we really deserved the Final spot. But it was redeeming watching that team get walked over in a 6-1 humiliation.
