Name: (Gabriel) Batista
Nationality: Argentina
Height: 188
Weight: 78
Position: CF/SS
Club: Espanyol
Club I'd like: Barca/Real/Man Utd/AC/Inter
Difficulty: Regular
First game I ever played after buying PES09 was in BAL Mode. Released a winger who set up the 88th minute winner in my first match, got a 6.0 or 6.5 or something. Had offers from Bilbao, Almería and some other team even worse than Almería; decided to go with the middle option as I wasn't sure I'd make it into the best team and I thought the worst would be frustratingly terrible. Got number 27... seemed like destiny, as that's the day of my real-life birthday!
Was sent off in my first training match for Almería after about 75 mins, when we were 2-0 down. No complaints really, it was a horrific challenge. Either way I struggled through another 2 training matches on the default camera angle, before making the 'A' team in training. I changed the camera to wide, with the focus on the ball, and suddenly I could play a bit better. Found the net in my 3rd training match and made the bench; came on at half-time when 1-0 down, scored twice on my debut and won us the match (one of very few Almería won that season). 3 sub appearances later and I was in the starting lineup.
There's much, much more, but I'll post it when I look at Batista's stats a bit later; I'm currently on a different BAL - (Cristóbal) Horacio, a classy little CM. Guess I'll post his story before long as well...
