Il Regionnaire – A Milan Story – 2.2
Two blogs in two days – you are welcome! When we last left off, we were sitting in 2nd place in Serie A after 22 games in our first season at the helm of AC Milan as we attempt to transition the club to a local-only club culture and playing squad within two seasons. The bad news however (in addition to being knocked out of the Champions League Group Stages) is that our star man and Segundo Volante extraordinaire Sandro Tonali has been ruled out for two months with a thigh injury meaning he will miss all of February and March, a crucial period as we look to continue our good form and secure at least a Top 4 finish which would be more than acceptable having already offloaded a number of key players as part of our process in bringing in players who were born/produced within 50km of the city of Milan. The media are keen to know – who will we look to to fill the void left by Tonali’s absence? Enter 23-year-old Tommaso Pobega, signed by the Milan academy at age 14 and who in FM23 looks to be a solid and versatile midfielder who can hopefully fill Tonali’s boots and continue the positive influence that the Segundo Volante role has offered us so far in this save. AC Milan vs Salernitana – Sunday 5th March 2023 🗣️ “Milan come into this Serie A fixture having gone unbeaten for the whole month of February, however are without two key players with both Sandro Tonali and Musa Barrow missing through injury. Manager MaddFM has turned to Milan academy graduate to fill the void left by Tonali, while veteran forward Manolo Gabbiadini gets the nod ahead of Charles De Ketelaere on the left of a front-three that has impressed all season for the Rossoneri”. 0′ – Giroud gets us started here at the magnificent San Siro with a flood of red and black surrounding us 4′ – GOAL FOR MILAN! (Bennacer) – lovely work down the right hand side by Calabria who crosses it in for Bennacer to smash home. 7′ – GOAL FOR MILAN!! (Pobega) – Saelemaekers delivers a dangerous cross and it’s Pobega who heads in after a clever run from outside the box. 23′ – GOAL FOR MILAN!! (Giroud) – Pobega intercepts brilliantly in midfield and threads a perfect ball through to the Frenchman who calmly slides it into the bottom left corner past Ochoa in goal. 37′ – GOAL SALERNITANA!! (Candreva) – the ball is hoofed over the top by Vilhena and Candreva is on hand to smash the ball past the helpless Maignan in goal. Game on! 43′ – GOAL MILAN!! (Diaz) – Pobega the architect again! The midfielder spots the run of Brahim Diaz and again threads through a pinpoint pass for Diaz to finish calmly past Ochoa. It’s surely all over now? And that’s how it finished. We made 5 changes early in the second half and Salernitana did well to keep it at 4-1, a goal and two assists for Pobega gives him a 9.2 Man of the Match rating. Granted our opposition were poor but this gives Pobega a huge boost of confidence for the games ahead. We hoped he would simply cover in Tonali’s absence but we were wrong – the lad seizes the opportunity with both hands and picks up two goals & four assists in 8 games with a 7.36 average rating, and not only is he more than filling in for Tonali, his performances suddenly attract interest from the likes of Man Utd, Inter and Atalanta..NOT ON MY WATCH SON. It’s hard to tell whether it’s the players (i.e. Tonali and Pobega) who are shining for Milan, or if it is indeed this glorious Segundo Volante role which is proving to be so highly effective in FM23 this year. They are constantly on the ball or involved in breaking up play, recycling possession, making defence-splitting runs and ultimately getting into excellent positions in and around the box, and the results are clearly evident despite it being a “defensive” midfield role. I would love to hear if you have had any similar experiences with it – drop a comment below or hit me up on Twitter, this certainly needs further discussion 🔥. Death, taxes and the end of season slump.. Unfortunately our league form stutters as we see injuries picked up by Dimarco (3 weeks), Brahim Diaz (2 weeks) and Mike Maignan (3 weeks) which takes its toll as we find ourselves short of quality depth and cover in key positions, a natural yet very much unwanted symptom of the Regionnaire transfer model. A 6-2 drubbing by Roma (José Mourinho is a tyrant in Football Manager) followed by defeats against Juventus, Atalanta and Fiorentina see us drop back to 4th in the league just a point ahead of Napoli in 5th, and suddenly our Champions League hopes are on the brink with just 4 games remaining as we gear up for 4 tough games against Lazio (h), Inter (a), Udinese (a) and Torino (h). This league is tighter than a duck’s arse and I fear the board may have something to say if we get knocked out of the Champions League and then miss out on qualification in the same season… Regionn-heirs We’ve spent quite some time bolstering our scouting and youth backroom teams, filling them with local-born staff members in the hope that this will have a positive influence on our Youth Intake and unearth a true Milan-born Wonderkid for the black and red side of the city…. Wouldn’t you know it – we are told not only of a Golden Generation, but that our star youth prospect is of course…IRISH. Those of you who have following my nonsense for some time will remember that I once spent 9 seasons in Germany in FM20 trying to produce an Irish wonderkid before eventually having one come through, and now while doing everything to focus on local prospects, our so called “diamond” aka Cian Foy hails all the way from the village of Glengoole (pronounced “Glen-gooly”) in the obscurity of rural County Tipperary!! He of course is eligible for our save rules (as a local/academy produce) but f*ck me the Newgen gods have a sick sense of humour 😅. Not a bad player though..👀 The Final Stretch 🏁 Four games to secure a Top 4 finish and keep the wolves from the door so we can continue our mission and spend the summer finishing the demolition of this squad to fully migrate to a local-only playing squad and backroom team. We are almost back to full-strength which will be badly needed with two of these games against teams currently above us in the league – it’s now or never for the boys in red and black, #SempreMilan. Game 1 – Lazio (h) Game 2 – Inter (a) Game 3 – Udinese (a) We overturn a 2-0 deficit to go 3-2 up against Lazio (Pobega strikes again) only for my new FM nemesis Ciro Immobile to equalise with 14 mins remaining. We then face arch rivals Inter who know they will be crowned champions with a win, and win they did as we succumbed to a 3-0 defeat and force us to watch them lift the Scudetto trophy for the 20th time in their history. Thankfully we get back to winning ways away to Udinese with Olivier Giroud bagging a hat-trick on what will be his penultimate game for AC Milan with his contract up in the summer. The outcome of those 3 games is that with just one game remaining, we find ourselves still in 5th place in Serie A and crucially one point behind 4th place Lazio who are of course now managed by Stefano Pioli, the man we replaced at the start of the season. This means we have to pick up all 3 points against Torino on the final day of the season and hope that Lazio drop points away to Empoli who themselves need a win to have any chance of avoiding relegation. It’s possible right? AC Milan vs Torino – Sunday 6th June 2023 🗣️ “It’s an emotional day in Milan as Olivier Giroud takes to the field in what will be his final game in the black & red of the Rossoneri before leaving as a free agent this summer, along with substitute Zlatan Ibrahimovic who also walks out at the San Siro for the last time as an AC Milan player – what a legacy these two leave behind them. Despite Tomasso Pobega’s impressive run of form, Manager MaddFM opts for Sandro Tonali in midfield in what is a full-strength Milan side who know that only 3 points will give them any chance at securing Champions League football next season, whilst relying on Lazio to drop points at relegation-threatened Empoli. If rumours are to be believed, anything but a win and the Milan board may reconsider MaddFM’s future at the club. Torino also have high stakes to play for as they sit in 6th place level with Juventus, just one point clear of Fiorentina with all three sides vying for those two coveted European places. What a day of football we have on our hands here!”

Il Regionnaire – A Milan Story – 2.1
Well well well. It’s been a while. Too long. My apologies. How are you? Still playing FM23? I am, and though it’s been a while since Part 1 dropped, this save is still very much alive and here we are to bring you through all the important events of Season 1 as they unfold in what will be a two part update as quite a lot has happened! If you haven’t already, do check out the Introductory post for this series which lays out all the rules and objectives for the save, as well as the thread below which summarises the building blocks of this latest FM23 save adventure. (1) “Regionnairing“ A reminder that the goal of the Regionnaire challenge is to transition a club to a local-only club culture and transfer strategy – meaning all players and staff must ultimately hail from the surrounding region in order to be eligible to sign and play for the club (similar to the real-life Athletic Club Bilbao). We start by locking in some key staff roles for this save. Three in particular are worth telling you about – our Assistant Manager, Head of Youth Development and Chief Scout who arguably have the most influence when it comes to our efforts at signing and producing the best talent from within our 50km catchment area. Milan-born Antonio Manicone replaces Giacomo Murelli as Assistant Manager having served as Vladimir Petkovic’s #2 at Lazio, Switzerland and Bordeaux over the past 10 seasons. Como-born Giovanni Invernizzi arrives as our Head of Youth Development following relatively successful spells at Sampdoria and Spezia, and he is joined by fellow Como native Massimo Notari who arrives as Chief Scout having previously served as a scout at Milan under Massimiliano Allegri before moving on to be Chief Scout at Monaco and Parma respectively. With these key positions filled, it’s time to talk about transfers. AC Milan start FM23 with a €20m transfer budget, and as specified in our save objectives, our mission is to transition the club to a fully local-only playing squad within two seasons at the helm. We of course have some big assets here in the form of Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez, Mike Maignan, Ismael Bennacer and Alexis Saelemaekers (all of whom will need to be sold), so I’m hoping money won’t be a major issue in terms of signings going forward however we will need to strike a balance in terms of the timing of our Ins and Outs to ensure we don’t self-implode before the save has even begun. What doesn’t help is that a vast number of our desired eligible signings (born or produced within 50km of Milan) are already out on loan at the start of FM23, so we will need to be patient in terms of buying and selling over the course of these first two seasons in our efforts to build the ultimate Regionnaire squad at AC Milan. First things first – we need to raise some funds. At the start of the save there are already a number of big clubs sniffing around some of our bigger names, and it’s not long before an offer comes in that we can’t really refuse: We tried to push for more but City were quite rigid, so we manage to get €60m up front which will go a long way towards signing what will be Theo’s replacement and hopefully our Left Wing-Back for many years to come seeing as he is Milan-born; Federico Dimarco arrives from rivals Inter Milan for €36m, a big signing who is not far off Theo’s quality, and which leaves us with €24m additional funds to reinvest elsewhere in the squad. The next big departure is an interesting one and a player that I wasn’t originally planning to sell (yet) until the bid itself came in. Real Madrid come knocking at the door with €42.5m, so Fikayo Tomori gets added to our big-name departures list as he earns a big money move to the Bernabeu. Boy oh boy are we demolishing this squad. The pressure is on to replace Tomori with only Simon Kjaer and Malick Thiaw our first-choice centre-back options. Luckily the Milan/Lombardy region has been quite fruitful in terms of defensive production with the likes of Scalvini, Bastoni, Acerbi and Caleb Okoli all eligible for our local-only transfer policy. It takes a big bid but we manage to get it over the line to make Giorgio Scalvini our second big signing of this Regionnaire save 🔥. We proceed to bolster the squad with another 6 players who were born or developed in the region, and with that we are ready to kick off the 2022/2023 season at Associazione Calcio Milan 🚀. (2) The Tactic In real-life, Newcastle fans (including myself) have just fallen in love with that man Sandro Tonali who arrived for a club record €70m fee and already is showing his worth with a debut goal and sensational performance in a 5-1 thrashing of Aston Villa. However, in this save universe and with the FM23 Winter Update, Tonali is still a Milan player and considering he was born and raised down the road (as well as being a lifelong Milan fan), we will look to build this team around him and to do so we will deploy him in a role which I have rarely used previously in Football Manager: We will play Bennacer as an Anchor beside him and hope to unleash Sandro’s creative talent and ability to shuttle the ball up the pitch and be an engine for this team, with a focus on keeping possession and moving the ball quickly through each phase. Dimarco (WB Attack) and Calabria (IWB Attack) will be essential as we look to dominate and run at teams, Diaz in the 10 will hopefully be a focal point for Tonali’s defence-splitting passes, Leao and Saelemaekers cutting inside will hopefully overload the opposition defence, while Olivier Giroud will simply be Olivier Giroud and hey, why the hell shouldn’t he be. (3) Serie A up 📈 We open with an away defeat to real-life 2023 Serie A Champions Napoli courtesy of that man Victor Osimhen, before going on to win 5 on the trot and staying unbeaten until an away defeat to Atalanta around the end of October. By the time the infamous 2022 Qatar World Cup arrives, we find ourselves 4th in the league with rivals Inter Milan taking an early league lead into the new year. (4) Champions League down 📉 Our Champions League Group draw is relatively kind as we gear up to face Atletico Madrid, Red Bull Salzburg and Trabzonspor, all teams who one would think are quite beatable, right? One win and three straight defeats sees us not only get KNOCKED OUT of the Champions League, but finish bottom of the group meaning we even miss out on a Europa League place – it’s not supposed to happen like this…🤦♂️ The Volante Love Affair ❤️🖤 We need to talk about Sandro Tonali.. This Segundo Volante role is purring. Despite being associated as a more defensive role which of course sits in the DM strata on the tactics screen, what we see in-game is that Tonali is EVERYWHERE. It’s almost like a mixed hybrid of a Defensive Midfielder, Roaming Playmaker and CM-At all in one, whereby depending on the circumstances, Tonali adapts to whatever is needed and seems to morph into multiple roles throughout the 90 minutes both defensively and in attack. By January Tonali has racked up 4 goals, 2 assists, 3 POMs as well as being in the Top 10 in Serie A for Pass Completion (88% – 6th), Progressive Passes per 90 (9.5 – 7th), Distance Covered per 90 (14.4km – 8th) and Average Rating (7.34 – 8th). The Rafael Leão dilemma At the start of the season, Rafael Leão was asking for an improved contract with his current deal expiring in Summer 2024, however we decided against offering it in case we needed to sell him to fund early deals for some of our other local born/raised targets (e.g. the likes of Bastoni, Cristante, Okoli etc). The problem that followed was that by January, Leão was deeply unhappy but equally refusing to sign a new deal which meant that with less than 18 months left on his contract, his value was starting to deteriorate and we were faced with a predicament: sell him now and try to raise as much cash as possible, or keep him until the summer at which point we either then sell (for a likely lower fee) or hope he renews his contract in order to get that fee back up? Decisions, decisions, decisions…. After much deliberation and trying to coax maximum offers out of PSG and Man City, €50m is the highest fee we can command and even though it is ridiculously low for player of his quality, we decide to sell him for three reasons: 1. Dynamics – we can’t be having such an influential player causing havoc in the dressing room 2. Revolution – I am tempted to complete the full squad overhaul/non-Milan exodus before Season 2 even begins 3. Succession – Leão’s successor is already here in the form of Musa Barrow, and so far this season there hasn’t been too much between the two and in fact, Barrow’s stats almost outweigh Leão’s in the same role (Leão – 3 goals & 3 assists from 10 games; Barrow – 4 goals & 2 assists from 12 games) So, it’s goodbye to Rafael Leão with €50m in the bank, we swallow our pride and move on 🚀. Back to league matters.. Now that Germany have won the World Cup and everyone had a wonderful time, our focus is back on Serie A to see if we can continue our good form and achieve a Top 4 finish which will be essential not only in terms of revenue and attracting some of our top targets, but also to ensure the board don’t get antsy having already upset them with that glorious early exit from the Champions League. With the exception of a 3-0 demolition by Lazio, we are flying again with Olivier Giroud finding some very welcome goalscoring form, Tonali continuing his excellent performance levels, Musa Barrow making the Milenese fans forget Leao ever existed, and we even see an absolute howitzer of debut goal for young Samuele Vignato, an early Goal of the Season contender if there ever was one. 22 games in and by the end of February we are flying high in 2nd place, 7 points behind rivals Inter who somehow have conceded just 7 goals and had 21 clean sheets courtesy of André Onana!! Things are going well in Milan considering we have already let go of the likes of Theo, Tomori and Leao..Project Regionnaire is well underway and with 13 games to go, we are set up for a cracking end-of-season run-in, not to mention one hell of a summer transfer window if we can continue transitioning Milan to a fully local-only playing squad..what can possibly go wrong? That’s all for Part 1 of this Season 1 update – Part 2 will follow soon 👌. Thanks for reading, Paul.
