Chapter 283 Tactical Change and "Restore" Mata
On March 19, Newcastle's official website announced that Manchester United's side player Juan Mata will join Newcastle on a short-term loan for three months!
However, this announcement did not attract much attention in the British domestic media!
Because Juan Mata's poor performance in the past year has long made the unprofitable reporters lose interest in paying attention to him!
Only the local media in Newcastle have made a small-scale report, and judging from the title of the report they proposed, it seems that Newcastleians are more willing to regard this transfer as a momentary kindness of the head coach madman Li's poor former disciple - Manchester United's smuggled goods holding hands with the former mentor, Juan Mata's career Or in case of a transfer
Exclusive Report: Juan Mata joins Newcastle on loan
"Manchester United finally got rid of Ferguson and turned to Newcastle with 10 million smuggled goods"
"The old-fashioned madman Li saves his former disciples, and he is afraid of bringing financial burdens to the magpie"
...March 20th afternoon!
At the request of the madman Li, Newcastle Club made an exception to hold a small fan meeting for Juan Mata, who only joined the team on loan!
It's a pity that the weather is not good!
At about 15:00 p.m., there was a light rain in the sky again!
Fortunately, Li Tongfan has gained enough status in the minds of Newcastle fans, but more than 2,000 magpie fans responded to the call of coach madman Li and came to St. James's Park in the rain to attend Juan Mata's fan meeting!
The whole process is very simple!
After Juan Mata wore Newcastle's No. 66 black and white jersey on the court in the rain, he met the signature wishes of some fans! However, judging from the lively scene of the vast majority of fans scrambled around Li Tongfan's signature, Xiao Mata can naturally feel that these two thousand people are actually for Lao Li!
But this doesn't make Juan Mata unhappy!
More than a year of experience has long made him understand that if you want to win the cheers and support of the fans, you have to talk on your feet on the green field!
Moreover, in Mata's opinion, the "master" Li Tongfan can win the favor of the fans, which is truly well-deserved!
...After the fan meeting!
In Lao Li's office!
"...Do you feel a little lost? Um..." Li Tongfan smiled with interest and asked his former proud disciple: "It seems that the fans don't seem to trust you..."
Mata shook her head and said seriously, "In fact, compared with the enthusiastic reporters from the major media when they joined Manchester United, today these unenthusiastic fans are more comfortable... Soon, I will use my own performance to let all Newcastle fans know that Juan Mata is trustworthy! "
...March 21st.
The 30th [***] curtain of the Premier League opens!
Newcastle plays Fulham at home at St. James Park!
Because they just defeated the strong Tottenham Hotspur four days ago, Newcastle fans have great hope for this game! In addition, this is the first home game since the madman Li coached, and the popularity of the stands can be imagined!
Newcastle fans who were not able to watch White Hart Lane four days ago flocked into St. James's Park as compensation!
In the stands, countless black and white flags and Newcastle's team emblems floated wildly in the cold night wind!
... However, Li Tongfan's starting list in the game has changed a lot - before the game, due to the slight injury of No. 1 goalkeeper Ji Wen in training, substitute goalkeeper Steve Harper got a chance to start!
Alan Smith, who fought continuously, lost the starting lineup due to his poor physical condition. Emre, a Turk who performed well in the Battle of White Deer Lane, naturally became Li Tongfan's first choice!
And Czech central defender David Lozehar, who had made a big mistake before, was unexpectedly beaten into the cold by the madman Lee, and Senegalese central defender Faye got a chance!
On the other hand, Cameroonian full-back Habiby replaced Charles Enzobia as the starting position!
At the same time, due to the suspension of the team's only "back pole" Joey Patton's red card, Juan Mata, who is newly loaned from Manchester United, unexpectedly got a starting opportunity, and formed the wings of the magpie with the Irish fast Maddaf! James Milner moved to the middle and served as the front waist!
There is no surprise on the front line or Owen's partner Nicholas Bentner!
Everyone is waiting, hoping that the madman Li can bring them a smooth victory tonight, but the process of the game is very difficult for Newcastle!
Victory almost slipped through the fingers!
... At the beginning of the game, Newcastle, who played at home, took the initiative on the court without accident!
In the 9th minute, Newcastle got a free kick in the front court!
Turkish midfielder Emre continued his bravery in the last game. A wonderful arc banana ball about 25 meters away from the goal broke through the ten fingers of Fulham goalkeeper Nemi!
1:0!
Magpie got a dream start!
The atmosphere of St. James's Park has also reached the first wave**!
... In the 11th minute, Newcastle got the front-court ball!
Cameroon full-back Habibi threw the football to Juan Mata, who responded to the front. Mata knocked on the middle for the first time before the Fulham players forced him to grab it!
In the middle, Emre, who received Mata's pass, took the opportunity to plug it!
The football passed between Fulham's two central defenders, and the Irish fast Madduff was successfully offside, calmly pushing the shot in the middle!
Fulham door god Nemi's little door "sadly" **...2:0!
It seems that the goddess of victory is already scratching her head and teasing the nerves of the Newcastle people!
... In less than a quarter of an hour, he took a lead of two goals, and a one-sided massacre seems to be about to happen! But the next situation seems to have gradually exceeded people's expectations!
After the Magpie's first striker Michael Owen missed a single knife twice in a row, Fulham unexpectedly succeeded in offside by their Senegalese striker Camara in a quick counterattack and won a goal!
2:1!
There is suspense in the game again!
... In the 25th minute, the waves on the court regenerated!
It's Kamala from Senegal again!
This time, the Fulham striker used his own speed to eat Newcastle central defender Faye and went to the meeting alone!
Newcastle substitute goalkeeper Steve Harper is old and weak, and his explosive power is too weak! In the face of Kamala, who is good at speed, there is nothing he can do. He picks up the ball from the goal again without any suspense... 2:2!
Fulham actually equalized inconceivable!
This scene made Li Tongfan, standing in front of the command bench on the sidelines, shake his head helplessly!
It seems that Steven Taylor's partner problem has to be solved quickly! Neither the Senegalese Faye nor the Czech Lozehar are ideal targets!
...Fortunately, the nightmare did not continue!
In the cheers of more than 50,000 Newcastle fans at St. James's Park, Michael Owen finally seized the third single-knife opportunity - the lightning killer received a scalpel-like straight plug after Bendner attracted Fulham's defenders, scored for Newcastle to compete again. Overtake!
3:2!
Newcastle returned to the locker room with a lead of a ball!
... Everyone thought that after a 15-minute break in the midfield, the madman Li must be able to help the team find the direction of victory, defeating Fulham, who dared to challenge [God on the side of the football field], in one breath, but... But the scene that happened in the first minute of the second half made the stands more than 50,000 happy. The magpie fans broke their chins!
After Newcastle received a return pass from full-back Hubby on behalf of No. 2 goalkeeper Steve Harper, Newcastle unexpectedly took the ball out of the penalty area, and then casually passed the ball to Fulham striker Kamala!
Fatal mistake!
At this moment, the exclamation of the fans in the stands of St. James Park was like installing 250 super-power air dryers in the stadium... on the court!
Fulham striker Kamala did not waste Steve Harper's "goodwill" and took a big gift - directly and easily swing his legs in place to send the football into the empty door!
Harper seemed to wake up at this time. He turned around and chased back desperately but fell on the lawn in confusion!
This scene made the fans in the stands cover their faces with shame!
And Steve Ha is afraid that he can't wait to learn the seventy-two changes of Monkey Sun immediately, become a silly ostrich, make a hole in the lawn, and bury his head... 3:3!
Is it flat?
St. James's Park Stadium fell into silence for a moment, and Li Tongfan decisively replaced people at this moment - under the physically degraded Turkish Emre, and Alan Smith, who rested for most of the game!
After the substitution, Newcastle attacked like an enraged beast, and the Newcastle fans in the stands turned into a roaring English Channel after a short silence!
The Newcastle people chose to unite at this moment!
However, the goddess of victory seems to have suddenly changed her surname! Just now, he was flirting with the Newcastle people with a thirsty face, but now he refused to take a step beyond the "Thunder Pool" at all like a Zhen Lieqi woman!
Whether it's Owen or Bentner, they have been wasting the opportunities created by the midfielders!
The physical condition of James Milner and Alan Smith, who have been in the main lineup since this season, is obviously poor in this game, and there is a lack of previous fatal shots in the game!
Another midfielder Juan Mata has not fully adapted to Newcastle's play... Of course, what's more important is that Li Tongfan has not "recovered" him through FM2008!
Because now is not the best time to "restore" the pony tower!
... Time flies quietly in Newcastle's round of fierce attack!
St. James's Park Stadium is gradually getting nervous and smoking!
In the stands, almost all the fans have shouted, but it seems that even if they fall to the ground with a hoarse voice, they will stick to it! Although fans in the first half of the league did not boo their players at home, it is different now!
Because no one is lazy on the court today!
Because it is not the confused Aldeth who is standing in front of the Newcastle command bench today, but the crazy Li who is constantly making changes!
In the 55th minute, Bentner resisted the Fulham defender's forced shot and slightly deflected... In the 57th minute, Owen received a cross from Milner's side, headed the ball and flew out of the crossbar... In the 64th minute, Alan Smith shot his foot 30 meters away from the goal and hit the goal post... In the 74th minute, after Duff received a pass from Alan Smith, he crossed the Fulham defender and pushed the far corner. Unexpectedly blocked the bottom line by goalkeeper Nemi... In the 80th minute... The game gradually came to an end, but Fulham's goal seemed to be getting stronger and stronger!
No matter what kind of shooting method the Newcastle player uses, it seems difficult to knock on the 35-year-old Fennan old goalkeeper Nemi for the fourth time!
In the 85th minute, Newcastle suffered a big blow!
Senegalese central defender Faye fell to the ground in the competition with his compatriots and Fulham striker Kamala. After a slight examination, the Newcastle doctor immediately signaled Li Tongfan to replace him. Faye could no longer stick to the game!
The second uncle's!
Although I have known the process and results through the FM2008 system for a long time, when I really saw this scene, Lao Li was still a little depressed!
Why do you think there is such a big gap between people?
He is also a nigger, and he is also a Senegalese. Why did Kamala "poke" three holes in Harper's body in a game of scenery, and you, Faye, finally started with my kindness, why did you throw yourself into the arms of the angels in white?
Turning his head to look at the bench, hoping that none of the five hammers on the field were from the central defender. Alas, I had to let full-back Charles Enzobia stand up!
Faye's injury seems to indicate that Newcastle's game is a little bad!
Although the crazy magpie fans in the stands are still shouting, they are ready to accept the draw! Of course, no one will blame the crazy Li. After all, he has only taken over the team for more than ten days. There must be a running-in process, right? Even in Real Madrid, the madman Li lost to Inter Milan and Manchester United in the first few friendly matches... But Li Tongfan himself didn't think so!
Seeing that the hammers who were playing on the court seemed to accept the plan of a draw, Li Tongfan rushed to the edge of the court angrily like an angry lion who had been taken away from his spouse!
This is a rare scene!
Even if No. 2 goalkeeper Steve Harper gave Fulham a goal with an idiot-level big foot mistake at the beginning of the second half, Li Tongfan has never been so angry!
Because mistakes are completely two concepts compared with not working hard!
Lao Li's angry temper obviously made the Newcastle stars give up their intention to give up!
In the 89th minute of the game, Newcastle's efforts finally achieved results!
After taking the ball on the right side, Juan-Mata changed to the cross-cutting middle! In the face of the blockade of Fulham players, they forcibly blocked the penalty area!
Owen, at the front of the penalty area, leaned on Fulham's central defender Caristanval with his juniors. In the face of the flying football, he chose to pass the ball directly and gently did it to the side... Nicholas Bentner swung his leg and shot in place!
This hasty shooting angle is very tricky. The football penetrated into the net on the right side of the goal, and the old goalkeeper Nemi finally couldn't do nothing!
A ball of luck!!
Extinct!!
4:3!!
Bentner, who scored the final goal, took off the fans despite the warning of the topaz God of War card, ran to the fans to show off his six abdominal muscles, and the noise created by the crazy Newcastle fans could shake down a layer of earth from the moon and stars in the night sky... But at this moment, Li But Tong Fan entered the player channel with great dissatisfaction!
A tragic victory!
Even Premier League third- and fourth-rate players like Camara can perform a hat-trick on Newcastle. How can this stuffy man be? If you meet Manchester United and Arsenal in the next few games, why don't you let the goal maniacs like Rooney and Adebayor break their personal goal record on Newcastle to hit the scorer list?
It's a shame!
Of course, Li Tongfan can also choose to use FM2008 abnormal archiving to avoid such embarrassment!
But that's not the fundamental way to solve the problem!
Football is a game for eleven people, so the players on the green field must do their best for honor!
Do you want to win?
In addition to the "cheating" of Li Tongfan's character points, the players' own efforts are also indispensable!
Because in reality, the players' game mentality and state will be directly reflected in the M2008 system!
In essence, reality and game are two complementary "partners"! If the real strength of Newcastle and the attitude of the players are corrected, if it goes on like this, even if Li Tongfan has more character points, he will be defeated sooner or later!
For example, in Real Madrid!
The superstars of the Galaxy Battleship not only have strength, but also do not lack the fighting spirit to pursue honor. Such players will get a higher evaluation of strength in the FM2007 system, so Li Tongfan rarely uses abnormal archives when using the FM2007 system to push the game!
But when it comes to Newcastle, although Lao Li used FM-MM to make a lot of changes to key players in advance, Fulham, a second-rate team at home, actually used three abnormal archives to win a 4:3 victory, which had to make the stuffy man find the reason from reality!
First of all, we need to change the mentality of Newcastle players!
Now the first-team stars of Magpie do not seem to regard themselves as a quasi-tycoon who is determined to pursue supreme honor except for Myrke-Owen, Alan Smith and others! You will even be satisfied with a small league victory, and you will become timid when facing a strong team!
No matter how strong such teams and players are, they will never make it!
Because it lacks something called spirit in its bones!
... In addition to mentality problems, it is also necessary to strengthen the magpie's offensive ability!
There are two most direct ways to achieve this goal. One is to buy a large number of high-power players, but to change tactics!
The former is obviously not possible!
Because after the loan to Juan Mata, Newcastle has used up all three loan places this season! In the case that the European transfer market has not been opened, there is no other way but to go to the free agent market Taobao! But then again, if any player has a little ability, can he still become a free agent?
At least before July 1st, the road of recruiting talents has been blocked to death!
In this case, Li Tongfan has to change the 4-1-2-1-2 tactics he has always been used to!
... After returning to his villa in the east beach of the city, Li Tongfan opened Hummer GO-BOOK to start the FM-2008 system and began to think about tactical changes in the face of the computer screen!
The most direct way to enhance the attack power is, of course, to increase the number of attackers!
Looking at the four strikers of Viduka, Bentner, Owen and Ame Obi in Newcastle, the sulking man suddenly lit up! It's a pity that so many guys who are keen on offense and are not weak can only get two chances to start. Why don't we try a 4-3-3?
Since Joey Barton, a red-card professional, is unreliable, let's simply withdraw his back and blow an offensive frenzy in the Premier League!
Attack instead of defense!
Think about Owen, Bentner, Viduka and other guys appearing on the court at the same time, shooting the goalkeepers one by one with the spirit of a run of a wild dog and a crazy shot like a machine gun... Tut!
Cool!
The stuffy man wiped a handful of saliva!
Three minutes later!
After coming to his senses from Yiyin, Lao Li began to click on FM-MM to "restore" Juan Mata's value!
According to the Premier League schedule, Newcastle will challenge the Red Devils Manchester United at Old Trafford in mid-April. Lao Li wants to make Little Mata the most eye-catching star that night! Let the fans and reporters who have booed, scolded and spit on Juan Mata feel ashamed!
Because Juan Mata is a proud disciple of his madman Li, Lao Li not only takes revenge, but also protects his shortcomings!
Click on FM-MM to enter Newcastle's page, and the system suddenly jumped out of a large bright red reminder box like a convulsion:
"...Dingdong, the system reminds you that it has detected that Newcastle player Juan Mata has been promoted for you. It is recommended to consume 2 points to restore the data before January 3, 2007. Is it restored?"
Well, so that's it!
It seems that according to the settings of the system, the players who have only been modified before but later controlled by the player can spend a small amount of character points to restore to the original data level when re-introduced into the team controlled by the player!
This is a very humanized setting!
At least in the FM2008 system of "inflation" of character points, it can help Li Tongfan save a lot of character!
Before officially confirming the restoration of Juan Mata, Lao Li was curious to observe the existing data of Xiao Zhengtai, and the value he saw made Li Tongfan a little surprised!
[Potential Ability]: 189!
[Current ability]: 144!
How is this possible?
Whether it is potential or current ability, Juan Mata is much lower than when he was in Real Madrid!
It turns out that the potential of a player in the FM system is not fixed!
What's the reason?
Li Tongfan thought about it and thought that there is only one possibility, that is, the FM system will change the potential evaluation of each player according to his actual performance in reality! And Juan Mata has been mediocre in the past year, so the evaluation potential given by FM after upgrading to 2008 has also decreased!
Er... It seems that the system is becoming more and more humanized!
After a little surprise, Li Tongfan did not hesitate to consume two character points to restore Juan Mata to the level of [current ability] 180 a year ago! ——
Today's chapter is to pave the way for the subsequent scoring frenzy, because it is necessary to write the transformation of Newcastle from weak to strong. After all, the magpie is not Real Madrid, and it is impossible to modify it a little and add the system to be invincible!
The next plot will progress very fast!
In addition, the magpie will change next season. Dear swordsmen can send their recommended players to the book review area!
Finally, we are looking for two deputy moderators!
Enthusied book lovers who need to read the full text of the modifier and have been online for a long time!
Xiaodao is really too busy to be alone! I feel sorry for seeing a lot of essence left every week, brothers!
