2015 The Ronald Koeman Goal Challenge

The Ronald Koeman Goal Challenge

 

It's not often that the name of a world class defender goes before the words goal challenge but when i heard of the record the Dutchman Ronald Koeman has i knew i had to bring this challenge to Vibe. 

 

 

The Back story

 

Did you know that Koeman is the world's highest ever scoring central defender? Although he sometimes played within the midfield Koeman here has an incredible record which stands at 239 goals scored in 685 games at club level and an impressive 14 in 78 at international level, that my friends is a center back with over 250 goals! Even though Koeman took free kicks and penalties that is a record to behold and i'm sure it outshines many a striker and just to put it into perspective England's very own Peter Crouch has scored 180 goals at club level in 606 appearances! Madness!

 

The Challenge

 

As you've already guessed the challenge is to see what's the highest amount of goals you can get a central defender, can you get close to Koeman's record or maybe even beat it?

 

Rules

 

1. The player can only play CB

2. No use of the editors or myclub and so on

3. Own formations only

4. No cheating which includes save reloading

5. International goals can count but only goals after the start date count. 

6. Only goals at club level under your management count

7. Evidence will be required.

Nice idea, but can your player, like koeman, play in midfield occasionally.

[Ashez]

I've decided to say no, the reason for this is because I can't police where the player actually played most the time so for this reason he has to be a defender only.

Fair point

[BatiGoal]

Surely you could have chosen a better pic

 

He scored a fair amount of free kicks and penalties. He had a tremendous hard shot often scoring from outside the box.

He's really different from the modern day defender -as far as scoring goals concerned- hardly scoring any headers. Can't recall many that is.

 

I really like this idea.

This is a fantastic challenge,but just 1 thing how are you going to police this.

What is to stop someone putting there CB as a CF for 10-15 games a season then the rest as CB

Thanks Bati

Because I'm foolish enough to trust the members of Vibe, I'm sure we'd notice if a players ratio was stupid though . And from experience CBS don't make great forwards, even in Brazil lol
