Chapter 291 Report to the first team tomorrow
In fact, Li Tongfan noticed this young Dutch player Nasser Balachit as early as the FM 2007 era a year ago!
However, at that time, the little guy was still a member of the Arsenal U18 youth team. Moreover, the reason why Lao Li remembered Balachite was not because the young general was talented, but because the Dutch actually had the same exaggerated "surname" as Yao Ming, the little oriental giant - Gao!
It's too high!
At the age of 17, he is 1.94 meters tall. I don't know how much he will reach after adulthood?
Such a congenital advantage can occupy a place even among the elders of the NBA. If you change to the green field and let Little Balachi choose the goalkeeper position or the center position, it will definitely be a piece of jade that can be carved!
What's more worth mentioning is that the current Balavet's position in FM2008 is actually an offensive midfielder, which is enough to show that the Dutch player's flexible surname and footwork are still good!
Sure enough, it is also good to give key values for Balakit in the FM2008 system - [speed] [explosive power] double 15, [pass] 16, as for [creativity], [brave], [judgment], [compaced] and other values exceed ten... For a 17-year-old underage player In other words, it is already very high!
The only thing that Li Tongfan can't figure out is why Arsner's professor Wenger, who has always been famous for discovering and cultivating young talents, is willing to sell the future star Balachet to Newcastle?
And the transfer fee is only 517.5 pounds?
... As for the mixed-race rice bucket Jiji, in fact, Lao Li has never forgotten it!
On the one hand, because the Magpie's first team has been too busy in the past month or two, Li Tongfan has no time to take care of this mixed-race rice bucket for the time being; on the other hand, Lao Li actually has more or less plans to continue to investigate the little guy's professional attitude.
You should know that if you want to be a truly great football player, in addition to your love for football, you also need to be able to endure loneliness and know how to constantly learn from all aspects of experience, and have a clear plan for your career!
And now it seems that the little guy is doing a good job!
It can be seen from the FM2008 system that Jiji's position on the field is a striker. And it turned out to be the top scorer in the Newcastle U18 youth team. Gigi scored a total of 13 goals in a limited number of 11 starts and 8 substitutes!
This is a beautiful data!
To be honest, Li Tongfan was a little surprised by the excellent performance of the mixed-race rice bucket!
Think about the little guy's thin body, and then think about his scarred right leg... Lao Li thought that even if he made Jiji "mix" like the Newcastle youth team through the relationship between Tolosy-Tang, the little guy could only be a role player. Who knows... Is it the talent of this mixed-race bucket? Is it unexpectedly good?
Li Tongfan opened FM-MM excitedly and quickly read Jiji's data!
However, what disappoints Lao Li is that contrary to his speculation, the evaluation of Jiji in the FM2008 system is not high, or even low!
It's very low!
[Potential Ability] 100, [Current Ability] 85!
Such a figure is extremely common among the many small players of the Newcastle U18 youth team!
Where is the talent?
What's more terrible is that the little guy's [injury tendency] is as high as 80, a typical glass body!
Judging from these comprehensive values, of all 34 young players in the Magpie U18 youth team, Gigi's potential can't even rank in the top 20!
Then why did the little guy become the best scorer in the Magpie Youth Team?
Once again, after carefully observing Jiji's data and comparing the relevant data of other players in the youth team, Lao Li finally found a clue - the gap between Jiji's [potential ability] and [current ability] is very small, with a gap of only 15 points!
In other words, Gigi's [current ability] is at the forefront of the 34 U18 players!
And this few 85 points [current ability] values are reasonably assigned to the key surnames that a striker should have - although the influence of physique [speed] and [explosiveness] has just passed the double ten, [shooting], [dish], [technology], [court running position]... And so on, the values have reached the level of a first-class professional player!
On the contrary, [tackle ball], [outside ball], [corner ball] and other values are all zero eggs!
There can only be one explanation for this phenomenon - Gigi is an extremely smart and extremely hard-working player!
He said that he was smart because Gigi transformed all his potential into the ability to become a striker in the most scientific way in training, and did not waste any points that were extremely valuable to him! Such a player obviously has a smart brain.
In other words, Gigi is the kind of person who can use the "brain" to play football!
And he works hard because Gigi is the only player among the 34 young U18 players who can improve [current ability] to such a proportion!
The utilization ratio of such a high [potential ability] and [current ability] is rare even among many international superstars. For example, C-Ronaldo, the hottest in the world in the 07-08 season, [potential ability] got 196, but the [current ability] is only 180... Calculated, C-Ronaldo's ability utilization rate is not even as good as Gigi!
It's hard to imagine that for the mediely talented Jiji, how much he has suffered and sweated to achieve such a result!
But the current level has basically reached the peak that Gigi can achieve in his life! No matter how hard this mixed-race rice bucket works in the future, there will be no obvious improvement!
Because, for the mixed-race bucket Gigi, the fatal flaw lies in the innate physical fitness and football potential!
However, are these two fatal shortcomings for other coaches still a problem in front of Lao Li?
As long as there are enough character points, everything will be done!
...the next afternoon.
It is clear and the weather is good.
Newcastle's Reeperton Training Base!
Because they have just experienced the hard battle of Old Trafford, and there are still several days left for a game against Aston Villa, the stars of Newcastle's first team got a two-day vacation, so the base seems a little empty.
But although it is empty, it is not silent!
Because when Li Tongfan came to the Ligburton training base, he was surprised to find that there was a fierce game on the lawn of the No. 4 field - the Magpie U18 youth team was playing against the penultimate round of the first group of England's under-18 youth league. Wupu Youth Team!
At this time, the game has progressed to the 70th minute of the game. The away Liverpool youth team is 3:1 ahead of the Magpie U18 echelon! And from the scene, the Magpie U18 echelon was firmly suppressed by the other side.
If this situation continues, it is estimated that the gap between the two teams will soon widen!
Because it is a youth team game, few fans or reporters come here to watch the game! Occasionally, there are some middle-aged uncles or uncles with sunglasses and notebooks on the sidelines. They should be full-time scouts!
Lao Li was found by Miguel Pearson, the head coach of the U18 echelon, not long after he came to the sidelines!
The 32-year-old skinny England coach was obviously very surprised by Li Tongfan's arrival! Because after the madman Li became the head coach of the first team, today is the first time to pay attention to the U18 game!
In fact, Pearson misunderstood. He didn't know that there was a game before he came. He just came to observe the training of Balachit and Gigi... But since there is a game, it's the best!
"Li, I'm glad you can come..."
Pearson is a crazy admirer of the madman Lee. In fact, there are not many people in Newcastle who don't worship the madman Lee. So for Lao Li's arrival, Pearson gave a 120,000 welcome at the first time: "The children have long wanted your personal guidance... You know, in the eyes of these little guys, you are no different from the Almighty God!"
The vanity of scratching men has been greatly satisfied, but as a high-quality idol in the new era, Lao Li still expressed his modesty at the first time!
"Migl, it seems that the situation is not very good..." Li Tongfan glanced at the situation on the court after a polite look!
As soon as he talked about the game, Miguel Pearson frowned immediately: "The little guys have worked very hard, but Liverpool has a few good seedlings..."
Li Tongfan nodded to show his understanding.
Then carefully observe the situation on the starting stage!
Dutch young player Nasser Balachet really appeared in the front waist position. This small player with a height of 1,9 meters is very eye-catching among his peers. He has good skills under his feet and has a strong ability to get rid of himself in place! However, because it is far from the goal, there is not much threat to the Liverpool youth team, because every time Barakit sends a threatening ball, it will be wasted by his striker... And the key target of Li Tongfan's investigation this time is not on the court!
What's going on?
Can't Gigi get a chance to start? No, according to FM2008 data, he is the striker of the Newcastle U18 youth team who scored the most goals this season... He turned his head and glanced at the bench not far away, and found that among a bunch of small substitute players, the thick black long-eared long hair on his cheeks was sitting on the court. He watched the game attentively and sighed anxiously from time to time... The little guy obviously hasn't found his arrival yet!
Seeing this, Li Tongfan has a plan in his heart! He turned his head and smiled and suggested to Pearson, "Miggle, I think the threat will be greater if the big man is closer to the goal..."
"You mean Balachite?" Pearson looked at Li Tongfan's fingers and was a little puzzled: "But his shot and header are not very good..."
"It doesn't matter. Try it!"
... So, under Lao Li's "reading talent", Pearson quickly changed his tactics!
After the change of array!
Nasser Balach, who is .99 meters, did pose a great threat to his opponent after entering the Liverpool youth team's penalty area, but the Dutch young player's poor shooting skills always make him miss the goal!
Seeing this, the sulking man turned around with a smile and asked Pierce, "Are there any substitutes who have a strong ability to seize opportunities? Be flexible and know how to play football with your brain..."
"Gigi may have a try!"
Pearson "bite" Li Tongfan's bait without hesitation, turned around and asked Jiji to warm up!
It was not until this time that the young players of Newcastle U18 found that Li, the madman who had saved Newcastle, had come to the sidelines and surrounded them!
The sudden burst of loud cheers from the little guys is enough to show Lao Li's weight in the hearts of the little players!
After trying to put on the purest and kindest face and greet these "flowers of Newcastle", Li Tongfan rudely "repeated" - instead of Pierce, he began to drive the on-the-spot command!
Gigi was soon replaced, and Balachite formed a new front line combination of the Newcastle U18 echelon!
In this way, although the opportunity created by the big Dutch man can't be grasped by himself, it is cheaper! The ability of the mixed-race rice bucket in the restricted area is obviously higher than that of its peers!
Newcastle U18 raised the most primitive and simplest long pass at the request of Li Tongfan. The young players obviously showed a high morale due to the arrival of the madman Li! The score was finally equalized before the end of the game, and it was Gigi who scored for the team! The little guy caught Balach's ball twice and sent the football to the door of the Liverpool youth team twice!
In the end, the Magpie U18 echelon tied the "strong" Liverpool youth team under the change of madman Li!
After signing for the enthusiastic young players and meeting their requirements for a group photo, in the eyes of everyone's envious eyes, Li Tongfan pointed to Barakit and Gigi and said to Miguel Pearson, the head coach of the youth team:
"Let these two little guys come to the front team to report tomorrow!"
