4-match test for AZ

Posted: 16 Oct 2014 10:07 PM PDT

Blog post #849 Hello dear readers, The latest 4 matches could either bring my AZ to a group of title contenders or push out of Top 4 decreasing Champions League qualification chances considerably. Away games against Twente and Ajax + home encounter with Groningen could be turn into anything from 0-point story to 3 wins. Well I passed the test with decent result. Quite complicated season

Blog post #845 Hello dear blog readers, Hot summer transfer campaign is over for AZ. All of sudden lots of squad changes were made.
