Hello my friends, I hope you are having a good day, we are now in our 5th season with Notts County and I am very curious to see how our 2nd season in the Premier League will go. We have raised our ambitions and we have our eyes on the Champions League trophy!

When I made this speech the whole team was laughing at me and I didn't understand why they were laughing. Then one of my assistants came up to me and said that they thought it was a dream. I shouted at them all in all seriousness. Aren't you the ones who won the Premier League? You will be the ones to win the Champions League! I don't want any arguments, everyone will do their best.

This year will be much tougher than the others, so it's time to make some reinforcements. For years we've only played with players from our youth system, but now we're aiming for the Champions League, so I've decided to add two important names to the team. I've strengthened the two weakest links of the team. Ladies and gentlemen, Tchouaméni and Zaïre-Emery. These two world-class footballers will give our team an incredible boost.

This is what our squad looks like at the start of the season, Kaya is still the most valuable and highest rated player in the team. Our defensive line might not be the best, but in their soul they are the best players and I am confident in their potential. Our midfield and offensive line looks like a destroyer right now!

After the new signings some players had to be let go, so I did what I had to do and sold many of our youth players, because this is the year of everyone's performance, we can't expect 20 players to improve.

When the team played their first Champions League game it was very exciting, I could see all the players' legs were shaking but I told them not to be scared and just do their best. I knew we could win and we did.

By the way, I think we were drawn in a very easy group. I can easily say that we are a candidate to come 1st out of the group. Let's see who will be the second. Still, I told my players not to be spoiled after the first win, it's a very tough group. Discipline is important.

Throughout the Champions League group stage, the press always underestimated us. They asked us if we could get out of the group and we were already guaranteed the lead! Come on, EA, you can do better. They asked manipulative questions about my players' performance and personal life, I always answered with composure and always protected my team.

Our opponent in the last 16 was Spanish giants Barcelona. My players and I prepared very well for a week for this match, we analyzed their whole game plan and we defeated them in the first match. We beat them 5-1, and we did it at Camp Nou. The 2nd game was a formality for us and the team didn't push themselves too hard, we lost 3-2 in a training match, but we were the ones to advance.

By the way, these are the ratings of the squad after the Barcelona game. You can check how much they have improved compared to what they were at the beginning of the year.

Our opponent in the quarterfinals was Real Madrid, and the press asked us again with suggestive glances if we would advance to the next round. I said yes, we are the favorites for this round, to motivate my team and to show that I trust them.

We won both games, but Real Madrid was the strongest team in this cup, so it was very difficult for us. We scored mostly through counter attacks, but I must say that my team is doing a tremendous job.

A strange question after the Real Madrid game about Duarte, who scored in that game: Why do you play Duarte? His performance is poor. Dude, he scored in this game!

Our opponent in the semifinals is Inter. Inter is one of the strongest teams in Italy and as you know, in real life they were CL finalists last year. When we won the first match 3-0 I thought this round would be easy but we were almost eliminated. They played an incredible game at home and beat us 3-1. The last minutes of the match were breathtaking for me.

The day has come! Our opponent in the Champions League final was Milan. My players were very excited and so was I. Above all, our fans were incredibly excited. They all thought it was a dream. A journey from the lowest league in England to the Champions League final. If it was a dream, I'm pretty sure none of them wanted to wake up. Let's see if this dream will continue or if it will turn into a nightmare.

We started very quickly and went 2-0 up. Milan scored a goal and we scored a goal. In the last minutes of the match Milan managed to reduce the difference to one but they couldn't beat us. Dreams and fantasies come true! Notts County are Champions League champions!

The team went crazy! The stadium almost collapsed. The fans were happy, we were happy, everyone took pictures with the trophy. My players hugged me with joy. I have to say I couldn't hold back the tears. It was the happiest and proudest moment of my coaching career.

Even though we didn't win the Premier League this year, we won the Caraboa Cup and the FA Cup again, so we ended the year with 3 trophies again. We were also 4th in the Premier League, so we were in the Champions League again, although we will be there because we are already champions!

I'm going to share with you the final version of my squad, I have a bond with each and every one of these players, especially some of them have been with me for 5 years and they have been a big part of my career to this stage. I have passed on everything I know to them and many of them are now the best players in the world in their position. I hope that after me they will be able to stay at this level because I have announced that I am going to step down. You know when you are at the top and there is nothing more you can achieve, you have to stop, otherwise you don't have goals and when you don't have goals you don't succeed.

Thank you very much for reading. I appreciate you accompanying me on this adventure in the EA FC24 career mode. I had a lot of fun and I hope you did too. Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments section. Take care and have a great day!
