: Reached the top?
: 到达顶尖
: At the time, I claimed optimistically: “no doubt that in order to reach the
: highest leagues, you’ll have to grow your own players!” Almost 15 seasons
: have passed, and where am I now? Well, I play in IV at the moment, but I have
: the ratings to promote to III: I have the best team of my division in Spain.
: That I play lower than expected is mainly because of bad luck. According to
: htev.org, I got three seasons of extreme bad luck in a row (2x wretched and
: 1x poor luck, see (http://goo.gl/EyuNq0), (http://goo.gl/zZfNNs) and
: (http://goo.gl/pahWZ2)). Also, I make bad tactical decisions too often.
: I am not at the very top, but I think I am getting close. As I will point out
: in the next part of this article, I guess I can squeeze this team out for 5
: or 6 more seasons. Than I’ll have to renovate and stop being competitive for
: a while. So I got 5 or 6 seasons more to show what my team got. In those
: seasons to come, training will not be that important anymore; maintaining
: skills, form and stamina will be my main preoccupation. My goal now is to
: play in III and than, hopefully, II. That will be hard: I get high ratings,
: but so do other teams. I am not the only one taking advantage of the loyalty
: bonus and faster training!
遥想当年，我曾意气风发，“顶尖，唯有自产”。
十五赛季匆匆而逝，如今，我身在何方？
我拥有全西班牙四联最好的球队，
奈何，天总是不从人愿，
从三张htev.org的估算结果可以看到，
此前连三个赛季，我的球队厄运缠身，陷入莫名地低潮
当然，无可否认地，我在安排球队战术时也时有失误
但是，我有实力也有信心，问鼎三联
如同我将在次章详述，
我的球队仍有五至六季向世人展现他们的最强姿态
在这段时间里，球队训练将着重在体能和状态的提升和技能的维持
我的目标是在群雄并起的三联甚或二联角逐晋升的资格
这将会是个艰难的挑战，
我的球队很强，他者亦若是
球员的忠贞与高效的训练将不再是我独享的优势
(译:问号，是全西班牙二三联都跟他一样搞纯自产吗
还是说西班牙四联以下都不训练
专门当人口贩子球员流转不停)
: What now, how to replace my old players?
: The question I get most is how I plan to renew my squad once my “golden
: generation” (the 10/11 core players) gets too old. Once this cycle runs to
: an end, I will start a second cycle of 5 real life years. I will start all
: over again, with full power training and only 5% of stamina training.
: However, I will try to become competitive again as fast as possible. This is
: how I've planned it (roughly):
: Although the core of my players is from one generation (currently between 27
: and 31 years old), I also have 3 younger forwards (around 23 years old) and
: an older keeper (now 32). I am currently training a 16 year old goalie in my
: youth academy, so he will be able to replace my current goalkeeper in around
: 3 seasons.
关于球员世代交替的问题，
我的打算是等我目前球队黄金世代的球员年华老去
我将用五年的时间重新培养下一世代的球员
球队的训练将会用最低的体能训练，全力投注在技能的训练上
但我并不打算就此将胜利拱手相让
目前我球队的10名核心球员处于27~31岁的世代
但我仍有三名23岁左右的前锋和青年队里一名16岁的守门员
: Even when the 10 core players are very old and losing skills/stamina, I still
: have a young keeper and 3 relatively young forwards. Of course, I will notice
: a big drop in ratings, but not as big as one might think. The 10 ancient core
: players can still play on non-trainable positions for several seasons. Of
: course they will be very old (36+) with low stamina, but I can rotate the old
: core players on non-trainable positions using 3 subs, so I won't give away
: entire zones during the matches.
未来新秀接班后，
我打算让这十名沙场老将继续在非训练位上征战数季
借由替补轮换，保持他们在场上的体力
在球场上不会送给敌人无防区
即使新星们技巧仍不成熟
即使宿将们已年老体衰
球队的实力也不会如他人预期般地遽降
: Personally, I think that at all times in the new cycle I will be able to
: compete in division VI or similar. Most top teams experience a break of
: several seasons after having played in the top divisions, so this is not
: something that worries me. The alternative would be playing for a longer time
: (eternally?) on a lower level (like IV or V), but that's simply not my
: ambition. I prefer to drop back to VI and try to reach the top levels again
: in 2020 or 2021, when my second cycle reaches its full potential.
即使是顶级联赛的球队，
世代交替时的数季也会从天堂跌落凡尘
我不担心我球队的世代交替
并且我认为即使那时刻到来，
我的球队在第六级左右的联赛仍十分有竞争力
当然，我也可以选择轻松地让球队在第四级或第五级联赛长久养老厮混
但那满足不了我宏广的野心
我宁可回低级联赛潜伏，积蓄力量
在2020年时带着浴火重生的球队 一。跃。登。天
: Conclusion
: 节论
: To conclude I would say that I am happy to see that my team is as strong (or
: even stronger) than I predicted in 2011. 448 hatstats proved to be a
: realistic, and even quite low, goal. I almost can't believe I crashed the 500
: hatstats barrier! The other ambition (playing in the first division) seems
: harder to realise. I still have 5 or 6 seasons to get there, but it will be
: hard. Many other teams use the home-grown and loyalty bonus at least for some
: zones, and average ratings are increasing at all levels in the competition.
: To finalize, I would like to thank all members of the Dutch federation "Eigen
: jeugd in het eerste" and all participants in one of the most active threads
: in the Spanish national forum: "Canteranos". It's great being part of this
: active home-grown community!
于此总结，我十分荣幸地宣布我的球队比我2011年的预测还要强。
448 hatstats被证实是一个非常容易的可行目标
但连我自己都不敢相信球队强度竟然冲破500大关
攻入顶级联赛的另一个目标看来似乎比较难实现
我仍有五到六季的时间挑战
但横阻在前的障碍不是普通的困难
许多球队在某些特定位置也有从自身青训培养出来的忠贞球员
(译:有能力加成)
并且各级联赛的平均球队实力也不断在增长
最后，我要感谢(译:以下略，要感谢的人太多了，就谢天吧(?))
