CESENA Calcio ïƒ* BENVENUTA Kozak



Cesena belongs Serie A again……when will it own Serie A? �

With lots of ambition small Cesena thundered through Serie B this season, and won the title with still 4 games left! With men left like Marco Bernacci , Manolo Pestrin and Fausto Mangili Cesena lost former phenomena at Dino Manuzzi. But the new players showed improvement this season in a 4-3-3 system. New players like Peter Hlinka, Mahamadou Kéré, and Marian Kurty made a huge impact to especially the defensive abilities. Last season that was the weak point in the clubs’ only Serie A season so far. With relegation as a result.

The Cesena player of the year:

However no vote has been held so far, just one player can become P.o.t.Y at both Cesena and Serie B: Swedish player Christoffer Andersson . However he played at wingback last season (due to less defenders) he proved to be a real winger this season. With as best moment lob goals in a 1-0 win game at Vicenza from halfway the pitch!!! His season average rating a game is far over 8.20 and his contribution at the attacking part of the game with assists and goals has been fabulous. A real star at the small coast team, and will be the question if he will be playing at Dino Manuzzi next season.

The next season early preview:

With all players under contract till at least the end of next season it looks like the manager can finally build on a current team. So not as many new players will have to be bought like last season with half of the starting team leaving. Despite this manager Kozakiani already signed Leon Andreasen (Danish fullback) during this season to replace Gilles Swerts who left to a bigger club: Chievo Verona (Serie C) :p.

Further the managers just announce two new players who will get an important role at the right side of the team which starts to look Serie A level now:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Mohamad Momin (Wingback/Midfielder) – This is the biggest talent from Brunei! He is just 19 years old but has some great influence in his own country. Especially his physical on this young age makes this a player to look at next season. The costs are around 150.000 Pounds
<LI>Andre Hanssen (Right Midfielder) – Another Scandinavian chooses for Cesena. These players are still payable for a small club like Cesena still is. This Norwegian is a dynamic midfielder with some great passing ability. When it’s necessary he can also play on the right wing. With the likes of Andersson, Hlinka, Momin & Hanssen it looks like the right side can danger Serie A teams!
</UL>

In the coming period the manager will have a new super striker as main priority, while a left winger might be needed as well.

Some smart highlights from the Campionata Party:
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Sergio (left wingback) – “Why isn’t here sangria to drink? I don’t know how to drink from a small glass!�
<LI>Mahamadou Kéré (fullback) – This African boy couldn’t get away from all the food on the tables. He and his father (who was also there) must have eaten 50% of all food!!!
<LI>Stefan Weber (left winger) – With his 16 years he wasn’t allowed to drink till 10pm. But after 10, he got drink all out of a sudden as all others were drunk already and thought he was as mature as his play this season.
<LI>Kozakiani (Cesena manager) – Was covering drunk star-players like Andersson and Taralidis. Rumours said he will add these parts to the movies, which will be sending by the players’ agents to bigger clubs. Especially the ****ing part against the wall by Giannis Taralidis will be interesting to attract big clubs….
</UL>

Next session on Tuesday 7.45pm to finish the season and see an interesting playoff fight with NiteEye (Bari) and/or James (Verona). Let’s come promotion guys!!

How did Piacenza and Roma do in the last three games? We had to go out for a meal and missed out on the final sprint

I am not sure about Piacenza. I think I saw some draws.
Roma lost the cup final and finished 3rd in league. Rumours say Roma might think about a new manager though .

retired_trisha myette

Thanks for that, Koz (Dave here, using Alex' account, can't be bothered to log off/log on to change it). Could be a first sacking for Dello Spliff, then? The ungrateful curs...

Oh well, shouldn't be too difficult to get a new job if that happens...

retired_zjx510

YOu can always become the Venezuela U20 manager :eek:

retired_trisha myette

Now there's a thought

By the way, what exactly were these rumours of Roma seeking a new manager? Surely a CL spot in my first full season isn't that bad?...

You can see it tonight during session tonight!
