football manager 2007 best players

Another year has passed and it was about time for our football managerial skills to be put to work again. Now, football (or "soccer", as the Americans call it) has always attracted a huge number of fans. It doesn’t really matter whether we’re experts on game tactics and read all the articles out there on newly discovered players or just love to gather around from time to time and encourage our favorite team while grabbing a bottle of beer and some popcorn (or peanuts – whatever suits you best). I pretty much doubt there’s even one guy out there that is incapable of a few tricks with the famous round ball. It’s fun to test your physical abilities against friends and it’s just as captivating to talk for hours about what went on in last night’s match. It’s great to state your opinion on who’s to blame and who’s to praise, who’s fully fit and who needs a more intense training. And above all these, it’s even more challenging to manage your own team. It’s probably what the developers at Sports Interactive Games thought too, because each year they give in their best to come up with the best football manager game there ever was. I must admit (despite the new SEGA partnership – as Eidos seemed to loose their faith in the series) they pretty much rose to the expectations with Football Manager 2007.
ConceptIt all starts one day as you decide to take up a new job. Well, you probably got tired of everybody being a little suspicious whenever you say Ronaldo is starting to get old and an adequate replacement should be found as soon as possible. Now it’s your time to shine. Create a small resume and apply for any job as coach. At first, the list of choices will seem quite narrow, but as you advance up the ladder and you obtain world recognition the greater teams will spoil you with more and more attractive offers. Prepare to walk on a path that will take you to most of the football cups of the world. You’ll be able to keep an eye on whatever competition you may desire (and keep it as wide opened or shut as you like).
Once you apply for a job, give the club a few days to reply. Usually, if there’s a job offer, then you’ll probably get accepted as quickly as possible (well, unless you make some outrageous demands to the board). Settle in, get welcomed by the board chairman, get to say "Hello" to your new colleagues and then get to work. If you took the job just before the new season starts, then you’ll be granted with a few weeks to get to know the team and put them through a more personal approach training that ensures you of the team’s physical sharp shape. Spread a few rumors to the media, comment a little on your opponents while making sure the fans still love your team by assuring them of your many successes to come. So they’ll be a little disappointed once in a while as you get bitted by an amateur team in a friendly encounter, but you’ll just say it was a tactics to encourage them. It’s all your story – step into the history of sport.
You’ll be happy taking care of the team and the board will be happy to spend even more money on you than before. Assign someone to take care of most of the transfers or do it yourself (well, there are certain contracts that are simply impossible to refuse and the chairman will be sure to close those, but that only shows the good work you have done in training the team). Make up training schedules and put the players to work or allow them to use the general schedule, but keep in mind that you’re not just interested in providing your team with a day-to-day workout – you want to get ultimate football players out of them. Check up on them from time to time to make sure they’ve evolved in the direction you were expecting. Give it a little while and you’ll have the best trained team in the league.
Being totally open-ended, there is no right way for you to start your career. Help yourself to wondering through all the statistics screens at the beginning, watch the tutorial videos and get to know all your team better (not just the players, but trainers and coaches too) and, of course, assess the competition. However, there’s nothing stopping you from setting up a friendly match the very next day at "work" and see for yourself what the players can do. Don’t expect to take Mourinho’s place at Chelsea too soon though (unless you chose to manage Chelsea from the start).
