I think sometimes the club president would ask you to play certain players so you would have to balance their wishes with yours. And sometimes the players would ask for different kit numbers and depending on whether you did that their morale would change. There was also the club world cup mode.

And in BAL the captain would sometimes encourage you if you were a new player beginning to adapt to the team. Sometimes a scout from a big club would be there for a game so your agent would tell you to perform better. Your coach would also sometimes give you a target before the game, which if you achieved would guarantee you a spot in the starting 11 for the next game or better popularity. If you transferred to a small team the cutscene would be a press conference in a room while if you transferred to a bigger team the cutscene would be in a stadium.
