Bravo! Now you know the players, what is the goal this season? GL!

At first look, Senegal & Nigeria will be the next final of Africa Tournament (it would be the second time in a row)
A step behind you could find 3 teams (Misr, Ghana and South Africa) but they will have to be very careful with Al Jazair & Tounes
Al Maghrib seems to be the weakest team
A semi-final is a possibility but as usual it depends on GS and players trainings

On another side, we got a lot of work to do on U27 players but i am confident

I plan to do a preview of the season and talk about the competition, the roster and the future
If you guys have any questions, please feel free to ask here and i will answer to them when doing this

Bonjour !

First of all, I would like to thank you all once again for your confidence

It was a tough week with a lot of work to do but we did it !
- I scouted every single South African Player aged more than 22 yo + potential above 7
- I updated our Google Sheets with some informations about our opponents
- I spoked to our U21 manager to have his feedback about the next rising stars (U21)
- I bbmailed all local & foreign managers who have a NT player or a NT potential

Most of you (Lesley1226, Sandy, boksburg, DonnyTheWay, Ebene5, CrazyBob, JimyW) took time to answer to me and that was a pleasure : it was very important for me to know you better !
To the others (Giorgio950, Abubakar, GYBOMBO), i really hope to have that chance soon
On a bad side, I am afraid that we will lost Lofa next week

One more time, I am very proud to have been elected
Be sure that i will do my best to keep improving our selection (& my english !)
By the way, it looks like that some of you (at least one) want to learn French ^^

Africa Championship Tournament will start on Monday with a tough game vs Tounes at 17.30 PM
Then we will face Al Maghrib, Al Jazair, Misr, Ghana, Nigeria & Senegal
I hope that we will have a good start & get a nice first round !
As you probably already know, we will host the competition

Here is the first roster of the season :
- Fabian Pöll : 24 yo, managed by boksburg (Pretoria Book BB Club | SA)
- Montsho Mthebe : 26 yo, managed by CrazyBob (DunkinDonuts | SA)
- Abdul Ben Chakroun : 27 yo, managed by boksburg (Pretoria Book BB Club | SA)
- Ledley Parkes : 27 yo, managed by Ebene5 (E-5 | SA)
- Asanda Netshivhazwaulu : 27 yo, managed by CrazyBob (DunkinDonuts | SA)
- Julius Ifeanyi : 29 yo, managed by pizzaroms6 (teampizza | FR)
- Gatsha Mahlangu : 30 yo, managed by 妖月 (碎心 | TAI)
- Nqabeni Mabuza : 32 yo, managed by CrazyBob (DunkinDonuts | SA)
- Umi Mji : 32 yo, managed by Kappirinho (Muscoli del Golfo | LUX)
- Tsepo Naidoo : 32 yo, managed by DonnyTheWay (Kimberley Ball | SA)

7 of our players are actually part of a roster which compete in Nations of Africa and belong to a South African manager !
I know that I took some risks with this first roster but 3 players do not present all guarantees for the moment regarding Weekly minute breakdown, Training program and/or Transfer List
14 other players are actually followed but need more development

Please keep your players in good Game Shape : min 55/60 + max 75/80 per week !

If you have any questions about the training of your player, feel free to contact me

Nice work. Good luck in the 1st game tonight!

South Africa - Tounes : (57148)

After a complicated start (11/20), we managed to get the game back on track when we took the lead in the middle of 1st QT.

We will retain this good win in a dangerous opening game but also some points to be improved (foul trouble, Game-Day Preparation …)

Good start. Just checked the schedule. The next 2 games should be easy too.

Sorry if I have been amiss in putting up a new thread. We are going to be working on that as time allows for the u21. The baby boks are in a period of transition but thanks to my fellow American A Warrior and his efforts in R&D I think brighter days will be ahead. Good to see a couple of guys from my downline have made the squad. https://discord.gg/Dr8jBR you can find us both here at the bb underground discord channel . Feel free to reach out for any reason

NT Player Ad / NT Potential

Kasiya Mbazia (46556366) is now for sale (2nd time this season) but his manager still not want to negociate

South Africa - Al Jazair : (57156)

A Patient offense of Al Jazair with Said Nehal playing as Center was in our mind and he confirmed that he is one of the most talented player of the Africa Championship Tournament ; we did a pretty good job to contain him and the late call of Ali Ayasha Bin-Sulayman was successful

On a bad side, Fabian Pöll was injured early in the game and we get Julius Ifeanyi out of the lineup which was not a good idea because of our foul troubles : fortunately our substitutes putted on the show to help growing our Point Average

3 games, 3 wins and … a big game next week against Misr !
