Chapter 263 Tactical Change and "Recovery" Of Mata [6300]
On March 19, Newcastle Club’s official website announced that Manchester United winger 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 reporters who were too late to pay attention to him lose interest in him!
Only the local media in Newcastle City made a small-scale report, and judging from the title of their report, it seems that the Newcastle people are more willing to regard this transfer as a temporary act of kindness by the former disciple of the coach madman Li Piti - —
"Manchester United joins hands with former mentor, Juan Mata's career may turn around"
"Exclusive report: Juan Mata joins Newcastle on loan"
"Manchester United finally got rid of Ferguson's misguided person, 10 million parallel imports moved to Newcastle"
"The nostalgic madman Li saves his former disciples, but his good intentions may bring financial burdens to the magpie"
…
On the afternoon of March 20th!
At the request of Crazy Lee, Newcastle Club made an exception and held a small fan meeting for Juan Mata, who only joined the team on loan!
It's a pity that God is not kind!
Around 15:00 in the afternoon, it began to rain lightly again!
Fortunately, Li Tongfan has gained enough status in the hearts of Newcastle fans. In fact, more than 2,000 Magpies fans responded to the call of coach Crazy Li and braved the rain to come to St. James Park Stadium to attend Juan Mata’s fan meeting. !
The whole process is simple!
Juan Mata, wearing Newcastle's No. 66 black and white sword-striped jersey, fulfilled the autograph wish of some fans after performing a ball in the rain on the pitch! However, judging from the lively scene of the vast majority of fans rushing around Li Tongfan to sign his autograph, Xiao Mata can naturally feel that in fact, these two thousand people are here for Lao Li!
But this did not make Juan Mata any unhappy!
More than a year of experience has already made him understand that if he wants to win the cheers and support of the fans, he has to rely on his own feet to speak on the green field!
Moreover, in Mata's view, "mentor" Li Tongfan can win the favor of fans, which is truly deserved!
…
After the fan meeting!
In Lao Li's office!
"...Do you feel a little lost? Hmm..." Li Tongfan asked his former disciple with a smile of interest: "It seems that the fans don't trust you very much..."
Mata shook his head and said seriously: "Actually, compared to the enthusiastic reporters from major media who flocked to Manchester United when I first joined Manchester United, these unenthusiastic fans today make people feel more comfortable... Soon, I will use my own His performance lets all Newcastle fans know that Juan Mata is trustworthy!”
…
March 21st.
The 30th round of the Premier League begins!
Newcastle take on Fulham at home at St James' Park!
Since they just defeated the powerful Tottenham Hotspur with a big score 4 days ago, Newcastle fans have great hopes for this game! And in addition, this is the first home game since Crazy Li took charge, so you can imagine how popular the stands are!
Newcastle fans who had not been able to watch and cheer at White Hart Lane four days ago flocked into St. James' Park as if to compensate!
In the stands, countless black and white begging flags and Newcastle team emblems were fluttering crazily in the cold night wind!
…
However, Li Tongbeom’s starting lineup changed greatly during the game——
Before the game, due to No. 1 goalkeeper Given being slightly injured in training, substitute goalkeeper Steve Harper got the chance to start!
Alan Smith, who has been fighting continuously, was dropped from the starting lineup due to poor physical condition. The Turkish Emre, who performed well in the battle at White Hart Lane, naturally became Li Tongfan's first choice!
The Czech central defender David Lozehar, who had made a big mistake before, was unsurprisingly thrown into the cold palace by Crazy Li. Senegalese central defender Faye got a chance!
On the other hand, Cameroon full-back Habibie replaced Charles N'Zogbia in the starting position!
At the same time, due to the red card suspension of the team's only "backbone" Joey Barton, Juan Mata, who was newly loaned from Manchester United, unexpectedly got a starting opportunity and formed the Magpies' wings with the Irish fast horse Duff! James Milner moves to the center and serves as an attacking midfielder!
It is no surprise that Irving's partner Nicolas Bendtner is on the front line!
Everyone is looking forward to it, hoping that Crazy Li can bring them a hearty victory tonight, but the game process is very difficult for Newcastle!
Victory almost slipped through your fingers!
…
At the beginning of the game, Newcastle, playing at home, took the initiative on the field as expected!
In the 9th minute, Newcastle got a free kick in the frontcourt!
Turkish midfielder Emre continued his heroic form in the previous game. He hit a wonderful curved banana ball about 25 meters away from the goal and broke through the fingers of Fulham goalkeeper Niemi!
1:0!
The Magpies got off to a fantastic start!
The atmosphere at St. James Park has also reached its first climax!
…
In the 11th minute, Newcastle got a throw-in in the frontcourt!
Cameroon full-back Habibie threw the football to Juan Mata, who stepped forward to meet him. Mata hit the center immediately before the Fulham players pressed!
In the middle, Emre received the pass from Mata and made a straight pass!
The football passed between the two Fulham central defenders, and the Irish fast Madaf successfully countered the offside and calmly pushed the ball into the middle!
Fulham goalkeeper Niemi's small door was "miserably" **...
2:0!
It seems that the goddess of victory has been teasing the nerves of the Newcastle people in a coquettish way!
…
In less than a quarter of an hour, they took a two-goal lead, and a one-sided massacre seemed to be about to take place! But the situation that followed seemed to gradually exceed people's expectations!
After the Magpies' top scorer Michael Owen missed two consecutive single shots, Fulham's Senegalese striker Kamara unexpectedly countered the offside in a quick counterattack and scored a goal!
2:1!
The game was suspenseful again!
…
In the 25th minute, the field was in turmoil again!
It was Senegalese Kamara again!
This time, the Fulham striker used his speed to eat up Newcastle central defender Faye alive and went to the meeting alone!
Newcastle's substitute goalkeeper Steve Harper was old and weak, and his explosive power was too weak! He had no idea what to do with Kamara, who was known for his speed, and picked up the ball from the goal again without any suspense...
2:2!
Fulham actually equalized the game in an incredible way!
This scene made Li Tongfan, who was standing in front of the command seat on the sidelines, shook his head helplessly!
It seems that Steven Taylor's partner problem must be solved quickly! Neither Senegalese Faye nor Czech Lozehar is an ideal partner!
...
Fortunately, the nightmare did not continue!
Amid the gnashing of teeth and cheers from more than 50,000 Newcastle fans at St. James Park, Michael Owen finally seized the third single-handed opportunity-
The lightning killer received a surgical pass from Bendtner after attracting Fulham's defensive players, and scored, helping Newcastle to overtake the score again!
3:2!
Newcastle returned to the locker room with a one-goal lead!
…
Everyone thought that after a 15-minute break at halftime, Crazy Lee would definitely help the team find the direction of victory and defeat Fulham, who dared to challenge the majesty of the [God on the football field], in one breath, but…
But what happened in the first minute of the second half shocked more than 50,000 Magpie fans in the stands!
After Newcastle's substitute goalkeeper Steve Harper received the return pass from the full-back Habibi, he actually dribbled the ball out of the penalty area, and then passed it carelessly to Fulham striker Kamara!
Fatal mistake!
At this moment, the exclamations of the fans in the stands of St. James' Park were like installing 250 super-powerful air dryers in the stadium...
On the field!
Fulham striker Kamara did not waste Steve Harper's "good intentions" and accepted the gift with a smile - he easily swung his leg and sent the ball into the empty goal on the spot!
Harper seemed to wake up at this time, turned around and chased back desperately, but fell on the lawn in embarrassment!
This scene made the fans in the stands cover their faces in shame!
And Steve Harper wanted to learn the Monkey King's 72 transformations immediately, turning into a silly ostrich, digging a hole in the grass and burying his head...
3:3!
It was actually tied?
St. James' Park fell into silence for a while, and Li Tongfan made a decisive substitution at this moment-
The Turkish Emre, who was physically exhausted, was replaced by Alan Smith, who had rested for most of the game!
After the substitution, Newcastle launched a fierce attack like an enraged beast, and the Newcastle fans in the stands turned into a roaring English Channel after a brief silence!
At this moment, the Newcastle people chose to unite and work together!
However, the goddess of victory seemed to have suddenly changed her nature! Just now, she was teasing the Newcastle people with a hungry face, but now she was like a chaste woman who refused to cross the "red line" at all!
Whether it is Owen or Bendtner, they have been wasting the opportunities created by the midfielders!
James Milner and Alan Smith, who have been in the main lineup this season, are obviously in poor physical condition in this game, lacking the fatal shots in the past!
Another midfielder Juan Mata has not fully adapted to Newcastle's play... Of course, more importantly, Li Tongfan has not "recovered" him through FM2008!
Because now is not the best time to "recover" Mata!
...
Time quietly passed in Newcastle's round after round of crazy attacks!
St. James' Park gradually became nervous and anxious!
In the stands, the fans have almost all shouted their throats, but it seems that even if they shout to death, they will persist! Although the fans did boo their players at home in the first half of the league, it is different now!
Because no one is lazy on the court today!
Because the person standing in front of Newcastle's command seat today is not the confused Allardyce, but the passionate and crazy Lee who keeps making changes!
In the 55th minute, Bendtner resisted the Fulham defender and forced a shot, which was slightly off target...
In the 57th minute, Owen received a cross from Milner and headed the ball, which hit the crossbar and flew out...
In the 64th minute, Alan Smith shot angrily from thirty meters away from the goal and hit the goal post...
In the 74th minute, after receiving a pass from Alan Smith, Duff passed the Fulham defender and shot into the far corner, but was miraculously blocked by goalkeeper Niemi...
80th minute…
…
The game is gradually coming to an end, but Fulham's goal seems to be getting stronger and stronger!
No matter what shooting method Newcastle players use, it seems difficult to knock on the 35-year-old Finnan veteran goalkeeper Niemi for the fourth time!
In the 85th minute, Newcastle suffered a moderate blow!
Senegal center back Faye fell to the ground during a fight with compatriot and Fulham forward Kamara. After a brief inspection, the Newcastle team doctor immediately signaled Li Tongfan to substitute. Faye could no longer continue the game!
The second uncle’s!
Although he already knew the process and results through the FM2008 system simulation, when he actually saw this scene, Lao Li was still a little depressed!
Do you think there is such a big gap between people?
Both a nigger and a Senegalese, why did Kamara "poke" three holes in Harper's body in one game with all his glory, but you, Faye, finally managed to make a start out of my kindness? , why did you just throw yourself into the arms of the angels in white?
Turning around to look at the bench, none of the five hammers who were eagerly looking forward to playing were from central defenders. Alas, full-back Charles N'Zogbia had to take over!
Faye's injury seems to indicate that something is not going well in Newcastle's game!
Although the crazy Magpies fans in the stands were still shouting, they were already mentally prepared to accept a draw! Of course, no one would blame Crazy Li. After all, he has only taken over the team for less than ten days. There must be a running-in process, right? Even when he was in Real Madrid, Crazy Li had lost to Inter Milan and Manchester United in the first few friendly matches...
But Li Tongfan himself didn’t think so!
Seeing that even the Hammers who were playing football on the field seemed to be willing to accept the draw, Li Tongfan rushed to the edge of the field angrily like a furious lion who had his spouse taken away and cursed!
This is a very rare scene!
Even if No. 2 goalkeeper Steve Harper's idiot-level mistake at the beginning of the second half gave Fulham a goal, Li Tongbeom had never been so angry!
Because mistakes and lack of effort are completely two different concepts!
Lao Li's outburst obviously made the Newcastle stars give up their intention to give up!
In the 89th minute of the game, Newcastle's efforts finally bore fruit!
After Juan Mata got the ball on the right, he changed direction and cut across the middle! Facing the blocking of Fulham players, he forced his way into the penalty area!
At the front of the penalty area, Irving used his junior to lean on Fulham central defender Kari Stanvall. Facing the flying football, he chose to pass the ball directly and gently moved to his side...
Nicolas Bendtner swings his leg and shoots!
The angle of this hasty shot was very tricky. The ball hit the right side of the goal and entered the net. The old goalkeeper Niemi was finally helpless!
A ball of luck! !
Killer! !
4:3! !
Bendtner, who scored the winning goal, ignored the warning from the Topaz God of War card and took off his clothes and ran to the fans to show off his six-pack abs. The crazy Newcastle fans made a noise that could be heard far away in the night sky. The moon and stars kilometers away were shaken with a layer of earth...
But at this moment, Li Tongfan entered the player tunnel very dissatisfied!
A miserable victory!
Even a third- and fourth-rate player in the Premier League like Kamara can score a hat-trick for Newcastle. How can this man be embarrassed? If we encounter Manchester United or Arsenal in the next few games, why don't we let goal-scoring maniacs like Rooney and Adebayor set new personal scoring records on Newcastle and hit the scorer's list?
This is a shame!
Of course, Li Tongfan can also choose to use FM2008 abnormal archiving method to avoid such embarrassment!
But that is not the fundamental solution to the problem!
Football is a game of eleven people, so the players on the green field must use every strength of their bodies for honor!
Want to win?
In addition to Li Tongfan's "cheating" at all costs of character points, the players' own efforts are also essential!
Because, in reality, the game mentality and status of the players will be directly reflected in the M2008 system!
In essence, reality and games are two "partners" that complement each other! If Newcastle's real strength and the players' playing attitude are not corrected in reality, and if it continues like this, no matter how many character points Lee Tongbum has, they will all be lost sooner or later!
For example, when I was at Real Madrid!
The superstars of the Galaxy Battleship are not only powerful, but also have the fighting spirit to pursue honors. Players like this will receive a higher evaluation of their strength in the FM2007 system. Therefore, Li Tongfan rarely uses the FM2007 system to promote games. Use abnormal save!
But when it came 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 saves to get a 4:3 victory. We have to make the boring man find the reason from reality!
First of all, we must reform the mentality of Newcastle players!
Except for Michael Owen, Alan Smith and others, the stars of the Magpies' first team do not seem to regard themselves as a quasi-giant team determined to pursue supreme honors! They are even only satisfied with a small league victory, and become timid when facing a giant team!
Such a team and players will never become a climate no matter how strong they are!
Because it lacks something called spirit in its bones!
...
In addition to the mentality problem, the second thing is to strengthen the Magpies' offensive ability!
There are two most direct ways to achieve this goal. One is to buy a large number of high-strength players, and the other is to change tactics!
The former is obviously not feasible!
Because after the loan of Juan Mata, Newcastle's three loan places this season have all been used up! And in the absence of the European transfer market, there is no other way except to go to the free agent market to shop! But then again, if any player has a little ability, can he still become a free agent?
At least before July 1, the road to recruiting talents has been blocked!
In this case, Li Tongfan was forced to change the 4-1-2-1-2 tactics that he had always been most accustomed to!
…
After returning to his villa on the east beach, Li Tongfan opened the Hummer GO-BOOK and started the FM-2008 system, and began to think about tactical changes in front of the computer screen!
The most direct way to increase the offensive power is of course to increase the number of offensive players!
Looking at the four forwards in Newcastle, Viduka, Bendtner, Owen, and Ameobi, the sultry man suddenly brightened up! It is a pity that there are so many guys who are keen on attacking and have strong strength, but only two can get the chance to start. How about we try 4-3-3?
Since Joey Barton, a professional red card player, is unreliable, why not just remove the defensive midfielder and create an offensive frenzy in the Premier League!
Attack instead of defense!
Imagine Owen, Bendtner, Viduka and other guys appearing on the court at the same time, using the spirit of wild dogs and the crazy shooting of machine guns to "shoot" the goalkeepers one by one...
Tsk tsk!
Cool!
The sultry man wiped his saliva!
Three minutes later!
Coming back to his senses from his fantasy, Lao Li began to click on FM-MM to "restore" Juan Mata's values!
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 Mata the most eye-catching star that night! Let those fans and reporters who have booed, scolded, and spit on Juan Mata be ashamed!
Because Juan Mata is his favorite disciple, Crazy Li, Lao Li not only bears grudges, but also protects him!
Clicking on FM-MM to enter the Newcastle page, the system suddenly popped up a bright red large reminder box:
"... Ding Dong, the system reminds you that Newcastle player Juan Mata has been detected as a player you have promoted. It is recommended to consume 2 points of character points to restore the data before January 3, 2007. Do you want to restore it?"
Well, that's it!
It seems that according to the system settings, players who have been modified before but later controlled by the gamer because of exhaustion can spend a small amount of character points to restore to the original data level when they are re-assigned to the team controlled by the gamer!
This is a very humane setting!
At least in the FM2008 system with "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 very curious to observe the existing data of the little boy, and the value he saw surprised Li Tongfan a little!
[Potential ability]: 189!
[Current ability]: 144!
How is this possible?
Whether it is potential or current ability, Juan Mata is actually much lower than when he was in Real Madrid!
It turns out... a player's potential is not fixed in the FM system!
What's the reason?
Li Tongfan thought about it and there was only one possibility, that is, the FM system will change the potential evaluation of each player according to the actual performance in reality! Juan Mata has been mediocre in the past year, so the evaluation potential given after FM was upgraded to 2008 has also decreased!
Uh... it seems that the system is really becoming more and more humane!
After a little surprise, Li Tongfan did not hesitate to consume two points of 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 goal frenzy, because it is necessary to write Newcastle's transformation from weak to strong in a reasonable way. After all, the Magpies are not Real Madrid. It is impossible to be invincible with a slight modification and system simulation!
The plot will progress quickly next!
In addition, the Magpies will have a major change next season, dear swordsmen can send their recommended players to the book review area!
Finally, we sincerely recruit two deputy moderators!
Enthusiastic book friends who have read the full text of the editor and have a long time online are needed!
Xiaodao is really too busy to handle it alone! I feel sorry for my brothers when I see a lot of essence left every week!
