Il Regionnaire – A Milan Story – 3.2

Sep 30, 2023 Madd FM

    🚨 WARNING – THIS BLOG CONTAINS MANY MANY REFERENCES TO CESARE CASADEI’S GREATNESS 🚨     Hello again 👋. Welcome back to Milan – a place where one of it’s longest-term residents are going through one of the biggest transformations a football club has ever witnessed as we convert AC Milan to a domestic/local-only club culture and transfer policy where only players & staff born/produced within 50km of the city are permitted to sign for and play for the club. If this is all new to you, feel free to jump back to the start and pick up from there.   In my last post we detailed all of our incoming and outgoing transfer activity, wherein after one season (where we finished 5th in Serie A), we have successfully offloaded all non-Milan personnel (e.g. the likes of Rafael Leao, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez & Mike Maignan) and replaced them with eligible players from our 50km catchment area including the likes of Federico Dimarco, Giorgio Scalvini, Nicolo Rovella, Amad Diallo, Musa Barrow and Cesare Casadei. That means we head into Season 2 with a fully localised squad for the first time in this save adventure as we gear up for our opening fixture at home to Spezia.     As mentioned, what’s interesting here (and as discussed on recent 5 Star Potential podcast episodes), we have a lack of forward options within our target player range with a scarcity of “out and out” strikers hailing from the Milan region, so we make an executive decision to retrain Cesare Casadei as a striker having originally signed him to play as a #10 but the emergence of Tommaso Pobega means we can afford to deploy him further forward. That means, a large portion of the success and survival of this save rests on us taking a gamble by retraining a player to become our main goalscoring threat. Decision Making 20 by me right?       Season 2 🚀     We start rather well even though one could argue we are given a very easy opening round of fixtures, 4 wins from 6 games and as you can see we earn ourselves a highly impressive Europa League victory away to Man Utd at Old Trafford courtesy of my man Giorgio Scalvini, who headed past his former colleague Mike Maignan to give us our first win in a group which also contains Greek side AEK Athens and Ludogorets Razgrad of Bulgaria.     What you may also notice is that although we have played 6 games and scored 8 goals, none of these have come from Cesare Casadei in his new role despite the fact that he started all 6 games up front. Granted it takes a while to fully retrain a player in a new position however I still remain baffled tthe lad hasn’t opened his account yet. After two more games (a 1-0 win over Cagliari and someh how a 3-2 defeat to AIK Athens), we decide to make a small change which is to switch Casadei from a False 9 to an Advanced Forward, ultimately making the call to stop him coming deep to bring others into play, and have him fully committing to lead the line as our #9 and playing off the shoulder accordingly. Go hard or go home right?   AC Milan vs Roma 📍 San Siro 📅 Sunday 8th October 2023     🗣️ It’s 2nd vs 3rd today as MaddFM’s rejuvenated Milan side welcome a Roma side managed by Rossoneri legend Gennaro Gattuso after he replaced José Mourinho last summer in the Italian capital. New signing Adama Traoré starts on the right hand side for the Capitoline alongside Dybala, Kluivert and Abraham, while on the opposition side 18-year-old Valentin Carboni replaces the injured Amad Diallo in an otherwise unchanged Milan line-up. 8 games and still no goals as yet for club record signing Cesare Casadei, with Musa Barrow, Tommaso Pobega and Sandro Tonali all on 2 goals each in the league so far this season. Will today be the day?   0′ – Roma kick off proceedings today in the San Siro. 5′ – Yellow Card! 🟨 (Llorente) for a rash challenge on Pobega 15′ – Yellow Card! 🟨 (Cristante) for a foul on Tonali 27′ – GOAL FOR MILAN! ⚫🔴 He’s finally done it, Casadei with his first ever goal for AC Milan! Dimarco’s inswinging free-kick is met by the head of Casadei to beat Patricio on the far post. 1-0! 33′ – GOAL FOR ROMA! 🟠🔴 Dybala with the equaliser!! The Agentinian takes it around Turati and slots it home, instant reply from Roma and it’s 1-1!! 40′ – GOAL FOR MILAN! ⚫🔴 I don’t believe it, Casadei has bagged his second to make it 2-1 Milan! A ball over the top from Rovella is hit first time by Casadei on his weaker side, lovely finish. 44′ – Yellow Card! 🟨 (Pobega) for a challenge on Dybala 47′ – Half Time 🏁 Milan with the narrowest of leads following that Casadei brace, but Roma are very much still in this game. 50′ – GOAL FOR MILAN! ⚫🔴 Pobega makes it three!! Calabria is the architect as he threads a ball through for Pobega to slide past the onrushing Patricio..3-1! 65′ – Penalty to Milan!! Karsdrop is adjudged to have fouled Barrow in the box and the referee awards Milan with a penalty!! Will be interesting to see who takes this one, Tonali is usually Milan’s penalty taker but Casadei is on a hat-trick.. 65′ – Yellow Card! 🟨 (Karsdrop) for that foul on Musa Barrow 65′ – GOAL FOR MILAN! ⚫🔴 Casadei steps up and smashes the ball past Patricio, and it’s a perfect hattrick for the young Italian!! That’s surely the game wrapped up now. 90′ – There will be 4 minutes added on here in the San Siro. 94′ – FULL-TIME 🏁. The final whistle blows and it’s the Milan fans who are singing as their side romp home to a 4-1 victory with a glorious hattrick from Cesare Casadei. What a moment, and perhaps a sign of things to come for Milan this season? Back to the studio..     Well well well. To say we weren’t expecting that is an understatement. Having heard @FridayNightFM also wax lyrical about Casadei playing as a #10 in his Juventus save, I had concerns that he just wouldn’t fit the mould as a striker, however the switch from F9 to AF appears to have initially made a huge difference but only time will tell. Maybe I’m not actually as bad at this game as they say I am..     That takes the pressure off Casadei who along with Pobega and Barrow start to absolutely bang for us at Milan. Pobega in the #10 role as a Trequartista has been a revelation considering he was originally our backup DM for Sandro Tonali, Barrow’s output as an Inside Forward (Left) has made Milan fans forget that Rafael Leão ever even wore the famous black and red of the Rossoneri. The impact of this trio culminated in a 7-1 win away to Brescia in which the latter two both bagged hattricks, and bar a defeat at home to Atalanta, we make it all the way to the end of December with a near 100% record which puts us 3rd in the league and also sees us qualify for the Europa League Knockout Stage after we complete a double over Man Utd, you love to see it.       “Il Sogno Impossible” (The Impossible Dream)   December also brings about another noteworthy news item in our inbox..some might call it, a Christmas miracle….       Without doubt the best Intake Preview I have ever had in Football Manager – albeit with no striker included, the one position in which we are desperate to see some quality emerge from the Milan region!! We of course have to take it with a pinch of salt as FM has a habit of making promises it can’t keep, however this bodes extremely well for the longevity of this save especially as we are considering carrying this save on into FM24 as part of the new save carry-over feature 👀.   Path to Green, Neck & Neck and the Casadei Show   We kick off 2024 with the highlight fixture of the year: the Derby della Madonnina, AC Milan vs Inter Milan, arch-rivals in the same home. If you haven’t forgotten, we had to let Olivier Giroud go at the end of his contract in order to satisfy our local-only rules, but little did we know he wouldn’t go far as he signed for the blue and black side of the city – this one is personal 💪.     Despite having Giroud leading their line alongside Lautaro Martinez, goals from Musa Barrow and Cesare Casadei seal a 2-0 victory for the red side of Milan, and this sets about a chain reaction of sorts which sees Casadei score 13 goals across 14 games, and shy of a narrow 3-2 defeat by Atalanta, we pick up 11 wins and 2 draws in a run which sees us not only dispose of Rangers in the Europa League Knockout Round, but also close the gap and overtake Inter to go level at the top of Serie A alongside our aforementioned neighbours in Bergamo after 26 games played. Wait, are we in a title race??       Not only are we playing some beautiful football, scoring freely and looking rock solid in defence – the individual performances by some of these Milan-based boys are out of this world, most evident as we again thrash Brescia 6-0 (that’s 13-1 over both games this season) in a match where our front three of Barrow, Diallo and Casadei did this:     We have entered March – you want to see what our Youth Intake looks like right?     Not quite the 5 x A rated wonderkids we were led to believe, however in Pellechia (GK) and Chiricallo (DC) we have two of the most exciting young defensive assets in Italian football, while I am also quite excited about Luca Consigli (AML) and ANOTHER Irish left-back (see Cian Foy from last seasons intake here) in the form of Blake Fraher. Overall a very promising intake should we proceed as planned in carrying this save into FM24. 12 Games a Save   From almost getting the sack last season to mounting a title challenge just 9 months later. Despite all the upheaval and chaos selling our best players and bringing in a band of local boys to pick up the pieces, things have clicked and improved as the season has progressed and suddenly we find ourselves smack bang in a battle for the Scudetto trophy.   March goes reasonably well aside from a narrow defeat away to Roma, revenge for the Casadei hattrick I guess. 3 more league wins and we remain 2nd with 30 games played, just one point behind neighbours Atalanta. We also interestingly faced Celtic in the Europa League Round of 16 having beaten Rangers in the last round, and the Scottish double is completed which tees us up for a European Quarter Final – more on that in a minute..     There is just one thing to call out though which may slightly impact our end-of-season run-in..just slightly…       4 of our last 5 games are against teams who along with us make up the Serie A Top 6 after 26 games played. Never mind we have to go away to Atalanta, we then travel to Naples before facing Inter, Lazio and a final-day clash with Juventus?! Yeah thanks Football Manager, like the game isn’t hard enough 😅.     Atalanta are a cheat code in FM23. It’s almost laughable – whether it’s the outlandish tactics of the roguish Gian Piero Gasperini or the overpowered-ness of some of their individual talent, we just cannot seem…
