Hello, friends, and welcome to a new episode of my Chieti Story: a rather short one to update you about the progress the team has made in the first several fixtures in the Serie C1B.

But first, let’s check out the two players that have joined the Neroverdi since the last update:

Filipo Fondi – yet another central midfielder to fill up the ranks:

Marek Kysela – very promising young central defender:

But I won’t keep you waiting for too long and start with the first things first: the results. We did a pretty decent job in the first several matches, losing just against Perugia at home – however, they’re the top candidates for the title and that’s a little understandable:

Our good run of results gives us a second position in the league, tied at points with Perugia and 4 points away from the next team:

Players-wise, I am really happy to see that Enzo Scorza finally seemed to reach his peak in recent years at least and stands at the top, followed (strangely) by Porfido, most likely driven forward by the corners cheat for Football Manager 2012 that I have already shared with you:

Unfortunately, Scorza requested to be placed on the transfer list because he wants to move to a bigger club and most likely we’ll lose him during the next transfer period. He’s done great for the team and certainly helped us go forward so losing him will hurt us a lot. But hopefully he’ll do his best as he did by know and bring in some top performances.

There are also two strange games that I want to share with you (took place after I took the screenshot of the fixtures). First, our biggest win yet against Portosummaga, a 7-1 win even though we got one player sent off in the 21st minute when the score was 1-0 to the guests. Strange things can happen, though:

However, my joy didn’t last for long because the very next game against Andria went the completely opposite way:

Hopefully no more random things like the ones above will happen and Chieti will be able to gain promotion once more.
