Once again tonight, the players were extremely physical. Last night I was out for an aperitif, and I thought that this malted drink, so pleasant in these particularly hot weather conditions, had shifted my eyes a little...
But this evening, in full possession of my means, even if they remain limited, I realise that I hadn't been dreaming!
So thank you Aymeric for this much appreciated initiative, calendars being very busy at the moment 🙂

Yes, thank you 😃 making a mess of the calendar by playing 3 league games.
Fortunately the players' fitness is there to "compensate".

Oh no, the games that were causing problems have all just been played.
Very useful fitness training
Thank you very much 😄

The tiredness of the players was predictable, so why not announce the recovery gift to everyone in advance?

N'importe quoi..

All 100% or nearly so this morning
Thanks, but gift or bug?

What's a shame is that it's coming too late, as some clubs have already had to make choices. Better late than never.
Thank you for this gesture, which will please some more than others.

Some have already sacrificed matches, others won't have to; making up for poor management that causes inequalities by causing further inequalities.
There's plenty to say thank you for, that's for sure. 😂

Marcus Aurelius: Certains ont déjà sacrifié des matchs, d’autres n’auront pas à le faire ; rattraper une mauvaise gestion qui provoque des inégalités en causant d’autres inégalités.
Il y a de quoi dire merci c’est sûr. 😂

Exactly what I thought. Some have sacrificed the championship or a cup to give more importance to another competition. That's what you might call management. Which is not bad, in a management game. Except that, once again, it's those who play a management game who are penalised. It's a shame, but that's the way it is! So much the better for the others after all!

Whatever he does, Aymeric will be rebuffed on all sides. In the end, he's right not to give any sign of life, his community is so grateful to him.

Fougch: Quoi qu’il fasse, Aymeric sera rabroué de tous côtés. Finalement il a raison de ne pas donner signe de vie, sa communauté le lui rend tellement bien.

I totally agree with you, my friend! Aymeric wanted to please us, so let's stop creating problems where there aren't any and just say thank you. At this stage, he's going to end up doing nothing...

Fougch: Quoi qu’il fasse, Aymeric sera rabroué de tous côtés. Finalement il a raison de ne pas donner signe de vie, sa communauté le lui rend tellement bien.

Exactly what I think too. Personally, I'm not going to get any benefit from these 2 days (if that's what they are) of added physical training. Yesterday, for the 4th time in 4 league matches, I played with a mixed team made up of 7 players who normally only play in friendlies, in order to get my fresh A for my cup match of the day. Then I have a 3-day gap.
But Aymeric has heard those who have pointed out the current difficulty of managing schedules, particularly the fact of playing 2 days in a row in the league, and he's made a gesture, but no, there's still grumbling...
I'd understand if he started to distance himself from his game and his community again.

I think Aymeric was right to make these physical changes.
He's probably heard and realised the consequences of his latest surprise changes. Even if it's a bit late, because the championships have already been skewed (about 4 games played) with unstable teams and goal differences already widened. In tight leagues, that's important.
Nevertheless, what Marcus says is just factual.
Some people have had to make choices when, in the end, they could have done without. We always come back to the same point: communication. A simple word of explanation would probably have calmed things down...
So no, I think the opposite of what is being said, on the contrary, it needs to get closer!
What's more, the alerts concerning the calendars were issued very quickly! It took a while before it was patched, at least 1 week I think (and even then, I don't know if it's patched).

But in any case, Aymeric wanted to do something to fix it. That's commendable too! (like the basic idea of speeding up the cuts). But Marcus is just stating the facts :)
So we're back to the basic problem: COMMUNICATION :)
That said, I'd like to join in the THANKS. Admittedly, I don't really benefit from it, as I've opted for endurance and am therefore able to play every day. But I think it's nice if it's to make amends. Imperfect, but nice :)
(But common in the name of God!) :)

bubulateigne8AnsAprès: Exactement ce que je pense également. Perso, je ne tirerai aucun avantage de ces 2 jours (si c’est bien ça) de rajout de physique. Hier, j’ai, pour la 4eme fois en 4 matches de championnat, joué avec une équipe mixte composée de 7 joueurs ne jouant normalement que les amicaux dans le but d’avoir ma A fraîche pour mon match de coupe du jour. Ensuite, j’ai un trou de 3 jours.
Mais Aymeric a entendu ceux qui ont souligné la difficulté actuelle de gérer les calendriers, particulièrement le fait ...

He has tried to please those who complain 24 hours a day about the MDM, the carrots, the physics, the important matches in a row, this and that, without ever trying to manage things differently. As always, those who complain the most always win on VF, that's just the way it is. Once again, good for them. It means you don't have to think too hard about how to manage things. It's a total departure from the management side of the game, which is a shame because there's already so little to do on VF.

What's not normal is running into Aymeric and saying "oh no, we've got 3 important games in a row, what are we going to do, it's not normal, it's rubbish, you've got to manage the squad, make choices? But no, it's not possible, we can't, we don't want to". What's normal is managing your club. Either you have two squads and that's fine, or you only have one and you sacrifice a match or two during the season. It's not Aymeric I'm targeting, it's those who are putting him under enormous pressure because they're not capable of managing things. Aymeric is trying to please but, as Marcus says, he's creating other imbalances for those who had planned to manage things.

And I sincerely believe that what gets him most worked up are those who complain about everything all the time. Not those who manage the ups and downs of the game as best they can without saying anything. Anyway, I'll leave it at that, it's going to go round in circles and it's no more interesting than that after all. Once again, so much the better for those who have complained so much, too bad for the others! Personally, I'll turn off VF and move on to something else in a minute, not that it's going to shake up the rest of my evening ^^.

OMstar83: Il a cherché à faire plaisir à ceux qui se plaignent H24, du MDM, des carottes, du physique, des matchs importants de suite, de ci, de ça sans jamais chercher à gérer autrement. Comme toujours, ceux qui se plaignent le plus ont toujours gain de cause sur VF, c'est ainsi. Encore une fois, tant mieux pour eux. Ca permet de ne pas avoir trop à réfléchir pour gérer. On sort totalement du côté gestion du jeu, c'est dommage car il y a déjà si peu de choses à faire sur VF.

Ce qui est anormal, c'est...

You're unbelievable, we don't give a damn about what's factual or not. He didn't have to do it, it was no surprise to anyone that the majority of the game's active players had signed up for this tournament and were going to turn everyone's calendar upside down. He heard the fact that it was complicated for some so taking into account those who didn't want to take part in this summer tournament by readjusting the physical 100% but you still find a way to cry because he should have done it on Wednesday at 5:48pm.

I don't really need it but thank you very much

Why comment on something that doesn't need to be commented on?
One thank you is enough!
THANK YOU

To quote Guy Roux, compensating for a refereeing error with another error is like making 2 errors!

losgardos: Je citerais Guy ROUX, compenser une erreur d'arbitrage par une autre erreur, c'est faire 2 erreurs !

Nothing more to say

Give Basile his moped back

I see something’s here and I’m surprised. This community is difficult to please.

I would also quote Guy Roux: "Cocard... your defender! "

thank you aymeric

We've all sacrificed games, and tonight is my 5th official game in a row. I've already sacrificed the ldc in the 16th, the summer cup and I was preparing to sacrifice the cup. Frustrated at not being able to get my young players to play enough and risking injury to my starting 20... Yesterday it enabled me to win the cup and I can play my league game tonight with a decent team.
Thank you
