After 11 games of the 2023/24 season, Sambenedettese are top of Serie A! Only by head-to-head after beating Napoli 2-0, but it is a huge achievement. I don’t expect to stay there. I still have to play a number of top teams right in the middle of trying to qualify for the knockout stages in Europe.
We started the group stage disastrously with a 4-0 loss at Bayern, but have gone on to get a 3-3 draw against Real Madrid at home (after leading twice) and a 2-0 win against Monaco at home. Bayern are having a shocker of a campaign so far, so if we can knock them off at home in the next game, we’ll at least secure a Europa League spot. That would be a good achievement given the group we were given.
Vido isn’t scoring much this season but has racked up more assists. The goals have been pretty well shared across the team so far. I had to sell my young star CB Walukiewicz because he pushed for a move, but I got in Emanuel Mammana who has done pretty well so far and is quicker than my other CB, Magnani, who wins most of the headers.
