This is the story of two brothers, a modern-day Cain versus Abel if you will, based in the northern powerhouse Italian city of Milan. If you\u2019d like to replicate this challenge, we\u2019re using the updated medium database with the following leagues: England (Premier League, Championship, League One & League Two), Italy (Serie A & Serie B), Spain (La Liga & Segunda Divisi\u00f3n), France (Ligue 1 & Ligue 2) and Germany (Bundesliga & 2. Bundesliga).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rivalit\u00e0 Tra Fratelli – #WeAreTheRivals, Episode 5<\/em><\/p>\n

MIKE:<\/strong><\/span> On one hand, this is a wonderful time to be a manager not only in Serie A and Milan but as part of the FM17 Challenge. AC Milan, my<\/strong> AC Milan, sit top of the league with a three point advantage over Juventus and a four point advantage over Inter Milan, managed by my own flesh and blood; Charlie Tango.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, however, we are next to face Juventus\u2026 in the uncreatively named Juventus Stadium\u2026 in Turin. They are the favourites to win Serie A and to do extremely well in the Champion\u2019s League. They have a goal difference of +25 this early in the campaign and have scored 9 more goals than we have. If that wasn\u2019t enough, we go into the game without a recognised senior full-back. I can\u2019t even draft in Paletta because that would go against every determined inkling I have. Vangioni is suspended following accumulating five cautions and of course Abate got that red card in our last game.<\/p>\n

Zapata will have to start with Romagnoli moving over to full-back and young Davide Calabria is coming in. I did set up a three-at-the-back tactic, which is very in vogue at the moment but I held back on using it at the last second of the final hour. Juventus will get around us into those wide areas that FM 17 loves, I just know it. I wobble over moving a midfielder back to sit beside Montolivo but resist. The most I do is switch us to defensive. I\u2019ll take a point right now, matter of fact I\u2019ll rip your arm off for a point because that would keep them at bay and the closest Inter could get is within two points.<\/p>\n

This game, this bloody game!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I repeat, this bloody game!<\/p>\n

I was *this*<\/strong><\/em> close. I know you can\u2019t see that but my forefinger is millimetres away from my thumb. We ALMOST did it. Within seconds. SECONDS! Within seconds of not just a point but all three. Vindication for everything I have said, vindication for Drogba, for my treatment of Bacca, for permanently benching Paletta and Lapadula.<\/p>\n

I know this is just a game. I know this is a chance for Charlie to fulfil his dream of writing to a mass audience. I know that I am the protagonist, the Cain to his Abel. I know I don\u2019t play this game properly. I know that our rivalry will resonate with siblings across the world. I know that only one of us can win the league, if at all. But for one glorious moment, there was a shared bond. A bond of absolute devastation as Paulo De Ceglie scored a 92nd minute equaliser for Juventus. I looked up from behind my hands covering my face to feel a hand on my shoulder and two kind words; \u201cSorry, mate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It had started so well. Going toe-to-toe with the Old Lady in the early exchanges saw my confidence grow slightly. It then only became stronger as Sami Khedira absolutely hacked down Bonaventura from behind and deservedly got his marching orders. I thought I\u2019d never get a better chance than this as they bring off Higua\u00edn. Bonaventura smashed us into the lead before half time and we went into the break not only holding our lead but holding our nerve.<\/p>\n

The second half was a horrible experience. Watching but wanting to watch. Looking but not wanting to look. Begging and pleading for the final whistle to come. Only it didn\u2019t come. Not until De Ceglie popped up from nowhere to bring Juventus level.<\/p>\n

I watch as Charlie takes over. He grabs the screenshot and saves, I have no choice but to walk away. I walk out of the house, up the road to a gate which leads into a park. I wander off the beaten path into a dense wood of trees so I can scream.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CHARLIE:<\/strong><\/span> Thanks to AC Milan holding Juventus, there\u2019s a real opportunity for Inter to get back into the mix. That means there\u2019s massive pressure on our home fixture against Chievo. If we can win then we move back above Juventus and we\u2019re just two points off AC Milan, who top the league.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found playing the last three incarnations of Football Manager that there are three phases during the opening season – the first consisting of freshness and positivity, followed by that lovely period of gloating as your signings come good and tactics bed in, then the worry and the stress as you find yourself in an insecure managerial status due to a series of devastating losses. Currently I\u2019m just coming out of that first stage after some early success, which I put mostly down to Inter Milan as a team than my own abilities, and the second phase will arrive in a big way should we get all three points against Chievo because we only have three league engagements until the big one against Mike\u2019s AC Milan.<\/p>\n

As much as I don\u2019t think Chievo will house a stern challenge, I\u2019m not taking any chances. My only real bone of contention is Ivan Perisic or Jo\u00e3o M\u00e1rio. I\u2019ve chosen the Croatian on the basis that his stats have increased since the beginning of the term.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How did it go, I hear you ask?<\/p>\n

Every highlight there\u2019s a booking. Chievo have turned up to boot my team off the park! I\u2019ve got Mike returning to sit behind me giving his best Michael Sheen as Brian Clough impersonation; \u201cYou are a bloody disgrace! They don’t deserve to be on the same pitch as your lads!\u201d<\/em> Blocking him out, I see an absolutely ridiculous four-minute spell play out in front of me. Chievo have Izco cautioned on 19 minutes, Perparim Hetemaj (great name) booked on 20 minutes, Spolli booked on 22 minutes and Hetemaj receives a second yellow on 23 minutes.<\/p>\n

I should say, this all comes after Icardi had the temerity to miss a penalty on 12 minutes. Marcelo Brozovic spares Mauro\u2019s blushes with a goal on the half hour. I\u2019m genuinely worried about the second half. All I can see are images of Cagliari and Torino dancing across my sweating face. I make a couple of changes and then start the second half before stepping out of the room. I\u2019m not serving a touchline ban or anything, I just don\u2019t want to be there if Chievo equalise. I don\u2019t want to say anything to jinx it. This matters.<\/p>\n

I think it all came from the reference to The Damned United, during one Derby vs. Leeds match Brian Clough stays in the hallways under the stand and only learns of the result when Peter Taylor returns. My luck holds and Icardi atones for his earlier error with our second before Ever Banega seals the win on 64 minutes. Brian Clough had Peter Taylor to illuminate him as to the score, I had Mike, sauntering away from the laptop. \u201c3 – 0\u201d<\/em>, he says. But there\u2019s an unmissable smirk on his face. I ask him what he\u2019s done, assuming he\u2019s changed the names of my staff to swear words and slurs. He just shrugs and comments that \u201cI had a look at Erik Sviatchenko too but you\u2019ve got no chance of signing Daniel Bentley\u201d<\/em>. He hasn\u2019t changed any names, he\u2019s been reading my transfer shortlist.<\/p>\n

B*****d.<\/p>\n

I ask Mike if he would like to join me for the Inter Milan U20s vs. AC Milan U20s fixture. He barely looks up from his phone to scoff and wave me away. Our bond has been broken. He\u2019s busy tweeting to Phoenix Rising FC in the real world, who have brought in a certain D. Drogba. I watch AC Milan decimate us 3 – 0. The following day AC Milan\u2019s U18\u2019s defeat Inter U18\u2019s 2 – 0. I\u2019m glad he didn\u2019t want to watch the youth teams. Let\u2019s move on.<\/p>\n

MIKE:<\/strong> <\/span>And move on we do to AC Milan hosting Sassuolo, a team that Inter beat by three goals on the opening day. That should mean we have far too much for them so it\u2019s Dogs of War once more. This 4-1-4-1 is set up to get the best out of Deulofeu so I\u2019m expecting big things from him.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been adding some nicknames. Keisuke Honda is now rechristened \u2018Honda Jazz\u2019 for no other reason than I have a fondness for small cars and the two bench warmers, Lapadula & Paletta are exactly that. Bench Warmer 1 & Bench Warmer 2.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not quite the dominant victory I expected but three points is three points.<\/p>\n

The formation is set up to play to the strengths of Gerard Deulofeu and the on-loan winger is the difference maker, his goal from just outside the area flew in like an arrow and earns us the victory.\u00a0 Not enough quality on the pitch despite dominating the main stats. I\u2019m still annoyed that Drogba is getting scores like 6.7 but I can see with my own eyes how much he\u2019s holding up the ball and playing teammates in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CHARLIE:<\/strong><\/span> Continuing the good success of AC Milan teams are the first eleven, who were comfortable in that win over Sassuolo. The other side of the coin sees us away from the San Siro and we have fifth-placed Lazio, the only conquerors of Juventus this season.<\/p>\n

Tactically, we go back to the \u2018Classic Jose\u2019, which served us so well at the start of the season before I experimented with Pep Guardiola\u2019s Inverted Wing-Back formation.<\/p>\n

After defeating Juventus, Lazio have a record of two wins and one draw from the following three fixtures. The one I\u2019m most interested is Pescara at home, Lazio ended the match with a 7.99 average rating for a 4 – 0 stroll. Mike takes great pleasure in informing me that only one team have beaten Lazio this season and that\u2019s AC Milan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Comeback, thy name is Inter Milan. The first half was one of the most enjoyable I\u2019ve watched as both teams had good opportunities but nothing found the back of the net. Immobile, supposedly being tightly marked, escaped the attentions of our defence in a counter attack to hammer the ball home.<\/p>\n

We come back initially through an Icardi goal from a corner but it was cruelly ruled out for a close offside. Ever Banega\u2019s effort clipped Icardi on the way through and it was one of those sad moments where the team celebrate having not noticed the linesman\u2019s flag. Just seconds later a Perisic corner finds Icardi and Serie A\u2019s top scorer does not miss those chances.<\/p>\n

Seven minutes to go on the clock to find a winner. With 86 minutes showing, Miranda clears from the feet of Immobile out wide to Candreva. He plays forward to Icardi, who starts to motor towards goal before playing a long ball over the top for Perisic. It looks for all the world like he\u2019s going to pull back for Jo\u00e3o M\u00e1rio but instead swivels to unleash an unstoppable strike into the roof of the net.<\/p>\n

I channel Ars\u00e8ne Wenger in my post-match press conference. All about fighting spirit and character. I love these guys.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The winner of the Serie A Goal of the Month competition is our very own Marcelo Brozovic for his strike against Chievo from 23 metres out. Mauro Parolo is second followed by AC Milan\u2019s Bonaventura for that magnificent hit against Juventus. Mike is busy preparing for his appearance on the Italian equivalent of Match of the Day to protest that his man should have been a clear winner. I do worry about him sometimes, especially because he keeps wanting to check local second hand car dealers for something he refers to as a \u2018cheap run around\u2019. Donnarumma did at least win the LGI Player of the Month award for the third month in succession.<\/p>\n

We then play our fourth Europa League group stage fixture at home against Feyenoord. As usual I\u2019m experimenting with tactics and rotating wildly, this time a 4-4-1-1 inspired by the current Manchester United set up.<\/p>\n

You could say, it went well. Gabriel Barbosa scores four (!) goals in the first half and Jo\u00e3o M\u00e1rio chips in with one of his own. 5 – 0 at half time becomes the full-time score. The fact we only had 33% possession just makes me even more proud. That\u2019s certainly given me food for thought as we head towards our next league game but I have been here before, persuaded by own insecurity to continue with a European formation and we did go on to only draw.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a good amount of soul searching and a drive to Bolton and back, I have to do it. I have to know if this formation is gold or not, whether Feyenoord were just weak. If we can win 5 – 0 with half a first team, imagine what we can do with Icardi and Miranda back! At least, that\u2019s the thinking\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I apologise to myself to my failure to believe. We don\u2019t score five this time. We score six. Six of the best from Inter Milan put Palermo to the sword. We did concede two goals, Palermo\u2019s Roland Sallai hit us with the quickest of one-two\u2019s in true Anthony Joshua style but our sheer quality overwrought them. Jo\u00e3o M\u00e1rio has two, Candreva scores a late free-kick but the real star of the show is the wonderful Marcelo Brozovic. He notches a hat-trick of the highest order. Three identical scintillating strikes from 25 yards, just beyond the \u2018D\u2019.<\/p>\n

No goal for Icardi but he had a good game and we now have scored 30 goals, only one shy of Juventus as top scorers in the division. Everything is good in the world of Charlie Tango and Inter Milan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

MIKE:<\/strong><\/span> Enough of that, the focus should be back where it belongs on the Rossoneri. While Inter had a tricky tie against Palermo this weekend, we play at the same time against bottom of the league Pescara. Not only are they bottom but they\u2019ve won one game all season and conceded 32 goals\u2026\u00a0 in 11 games. That\u2019s a rate of 2.91 a game. Inter beat them 3 – 1 earlier in the season but I have my eye on Cagliari\u2019s 8 – 2 victory over them. I think we could at least match it.<\/p>\n

I will be selecting the Vintage AC Milan formation, wing backs attack as we flood the middle of the field. Honda Jazz, Sosa, Kucka, Pasalic and Montolivo form the five in midfield with Didier Drogba the supporting target man. Deulofeu regretfully finds himself back on the bench beside Bench Warmers 1 & 2.<\/p>\n

In the build up I am asked about Zdenek Zeman\u2019s status as Pescara manager. Apparently he\u2019s looking less secure in his role by the day. I stick the boot in. No manager loyalty from me, get rid I say or be condemned to relegation. I mean, who wants to be a manager in Serie B? Or even worse Serie C? I can\u2019t think of anything worse. Just imagine being the boss at somewhere like Venezia? I shudder at the very thought, don\u2019t we all… @registafm<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I suggest you get to know Zdenek Zeman, get to know him well, he is not long for this world.<\/p>\n

It might not have been the destruction I had anticipated but it was as safe a victory as you\u2019ll ever see. A Montolivo penalty in in the first half is dispatched with an inevitability you\u2019d expect from my Captain. Andr\u00e9s Cubas of Pescara makes their task so much more difficult as he takes a booking just prior to half time, then on 69 minutes he blatantly handles the ball for the red, giving Pescara a snowball\u2019s chance in hell of overcoming what is by that time a two goal lead as Honda Jazz is on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m asked about his future following the game. I can\u2019t begin to describe how delicious my reply is; \u201cIt was a gutless performance from Zeman\u2019s side, if that\u2019s all he can offer when he\u2019s fighting for his job then he deserves to lose it.\u201d<\/em> I then added a little comment of my own; \u201cI just want to wish him the best of luck at Novara.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Excellent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CHARLIE:<\/strong> <\/span>Everything seems to be content in our worlds. We\u2019re first and second ahead of Juventus, a Milan Derby a couple of games away\u2026 oh, wait, what\u2019s this? Mauro Icardi wants to leave for a bigger club? OH FOR F\u2026<\/p>\n
