Hi, time to start preseason, we will talk about friendly matches, transfers, my profile in game and finally first cup game against Parma.
My profile
My attributes are matched to Crotone reputation, in their distrubtion i focused on my tactical knowledge and on my mental skills. I think that stats connection will increase our chances, to make good results with such poor side as Crotone is in Serie A.
Tactics
I create two tactics, one more attacking minded, with two strikers and two wingers. This tactic we will be using against weaker teams or teams on our level. And i create another tactic very defensive minded tactic, with 5 defenders, this tactic we will gonna to use against better teams. Of course, over time, I will probably make some changes in tactics, but for now, i'll be trying to use this formations. And we'll see what happens.

Friendlies
In our preseason we played couple matches, most of them was against weaker sides. The most important game was against Atleti, where we tested our defensive tactic. Despite losing 2:1, we performed quite well. We won the rest of the matches, it's not surprising because we played with much lower rated teams.
Transfers
We made some transfers, i was searching for winger and centre back. Management didn't give my much money at start, so i was seraching for loan players or free transfers.
Coulibaly
Our first transfer in this club is Idrissa Coulibaly. He is experienced CB, with over a dozen caps for Mali. I bought him as a backup. He singed 1 year contract, which we probably won't be renew.
Fidel
Our second transfer is Fidel Chaves de la Torre. He is a Spanish left winger, loaned out from Almeria. Im very happy of this transfer, becasue Fidel has very good atrributes, and he will definitely be our key player this season. I will want to keep Fidel permanently, sadly i forgot to put in the optional transfer clause into his Loan deal. But still, i will try to keep him in Crotone for longer than one season.
Operation Parma
First proper match in this seson, we were playing against Parma in Cup.This season, cup isn't the most important think, however, i decided to send our best team for match against Parma. We weren't playing amaizingly, but we beat them 2:1, after goals from our strikers Trotta and Simy.
This the end, in the next episode we will start the Serie A season!
