Football Modifier

After the match with Russia, England moved up one place in the European Cup qualifiers Group E to 2nd place!

The first place is the Croatian national team!

They defeated Andorra 3:1 away on September 12th, with 21 points!

The second phase of the Lee Three Lions was disbanded on the night of the match with Russia, and the players returned to their respective clubs to report!

Because the 7th round of the Premier League will kick off on September 15th!

For Lee Tongfan, this period is no different from a holiday. England's next match day will not be until mid-October, first at home against Estonia, and then 4 days later to Russia in the snow and ice to meet Hiddink and his disciples again!

Later, on November 16th, the English Football Association arranged a friendly match against Austria!

And 5 days later, on November 21st, England will welcome their last opponent in the 2008 European Cup qualifiers at Wembley Stadium - Croatia, which ranks first in the group!

Therefore, from September 12th, for more than a month, Li Tongfan had plenty of time to carry out his [Koala Plan], and took his parents to travel and shop in major cities in Europe, and had a lot of fun!

"Crazy Li plays in Paris! ! "

"Crazy Li appears in Rome! "

"Three Lions coach takes a day trip to the Vatican! "

...

Every day, there will be gossip about Crazy Li appearing in a certain place at a certain time and doing something in newspapers and magazines all over the British Isles!

In addition to playing, Li Tongfan shot a lot of commercials according to the sponsorship contract signed by [Shining Red Star]!

In China, London, England, and even Madrid, Spain... basically all cities that can be related to Crazy Li, the streets are full of posters of sultry men posing for the camera...

For a while, Li Tongfan's exposure rate actually exceeded the most popular superstars in Europe!

Advertisers approached Li, sponsors approached Li, player agents recommended their own players, and best-selling authors volunteered to write autobiographies for Li...

There were even American Hollywood directors and producers with a strong business sense who contacted [Shining Red Star] like sharks that smelled blood, asking if Li Tongfan was interested in joining a certain blockbuster movie...

England fans have always been tolerant enough of Li's incompetent performance!

As long as this man can bring victory to the Three Lions, no one will blame him for his private life, and people will even tease this young guy in a very kind way!

Such a situation is simply unbelievable in China. If a Chinese coach dared to do this, no matter how good his record was, he would have been denounced as a "national scum" by fans and "leaders" and scolded to death!

It is worth mentioning that The Sun conducted a very interesting survey in the British Isles!

67% of English people actually think that Mad Lee is the sexiest man of the year. This figure is five times that of the last "sexiest man" David Beckham, and more than three times the sum of the ratios of other superstar players such as Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen...

What's even crazier is that 80% of English girls are willing to have a one-night stand with Mad Lee!

The beauties said without any shyness that Mad Lee's invincibility on the court will definitely continue in bed...So Lao Li became the best sexual fantasy object for ladies in the British Isles!

For a time, in the UK, Mad Lee's influence exceeded that of any head coach! Ferguson, Wenger and Mourinho had to stand aside!

The Lee whirlwind is gradually heating up!

September 20, 2007!

Outside the field of football, something far-reaching happened in England!

The early subprime mortgage crisis quietly sprouted in Europe!

The mainstream bank in the UK, Northern Rock, suffered a crazy run on its bank because it could not borrow additional funds to repay the maturing debts in mid-September 2007!

Due to the lack of continuous cash injection, a week later, Northern Rock was unable to support its high-leverage housing credit business and was eventually taken over by the British government!

This is a dangerous signal!

Such things are not only happening in the UK. The United States and France have also experienced investors running on maturing bonds. An invisible crisis has gradually enveloped the European continent!

This is just the beginning!

What no one expected was that in the next year or so, the resulting financial crisis would sweep the world overnight, and countless high-ranking multinational companies would go bankrupt...

And the Premier League, which has always appeared in front of the world with the most developed commercial image, has also been affected invisibly!

The news that was frequently reported in the newspapers about the big clubs recruiting superstars during the winter break has gradually died down...

Ferguson: "...Manchester United's lineup is close to perfect, so we will not make any plans during the winter break!"

Abramovich: "My ideal is that Chelsea can achieve self-sufficiency one day, so we will be more rational in purchasing players..."

Nenites: "I think the team's defense needs to be improved, but it seems difficult now... Mex? Yes, we inspected him some time ago, but now we have lost interest. Maybe there is someone better than Mex." A more affordable and high-quality option…”

This is true for several major giants, and it can be seen from other mid-to-lower teams!

The Premier League market seems to be shrinking silently!

…

One day, when Li Tongfan was running FM2008, he was surprised to find that there was an astonishing change in the [Chairman Status] column of Newcastle Chairman Mick Ashley——

Ashley changed from "loving the club" two months ago to "preparing to leave"!

How is this going?

Does Mick Ashley, who has only acquired Newcastle for less than half a year, want to sell the Magpies?

Lao Li's heart was beating loudly...

The opportunity has come!

Although I only knew through the [System Query Function] that Newcastle's state and trend in the coming season will be very bad, and there is even the possibility of being relegated...

But I didn't expect that things would be so bad!

What is the reason why Mick Ashley can't wait to change hands even though he has not yet warmed up his position as chairman?

Is there something wrong with his finances?

In Lao Li's original plan, he was to wait until Newcastle was about to be downgraded and the stock price plummeted to just buy it at the minimum price, but now it seems that the situation has changed!

Li Tongfan revised the plan, while Tolosi Tang invested in more complicated work in the following time!

Within a month from September 12th to October 13th, the Premier League reached the 9th round!

After 9 rounds, Mourinho's Blues Chelsea ranked first with 22 points from 9 games, 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The second to fourth places were West Ham United, Liverpool and Wigan Athletic respectively!

Among them, Liverpool has two games less due to schedule!

Among other members of BOG4, Arsenal also have two games less, ranking fifth with 15 points from 7 games, 5 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses!

The performance of the Red Devils and Manchester United is surprising - after playing 9 games, they only won 4 of them, lost 3 and drew 2, ranking 7th in the Premier League standings!

The Spanish player Juan Mata, who joined the Red Devils as a star of hope during the winter break last season for 10 million pounds, only got one chance to come on as a substitute in the first 9 games. In 30 minutes of the game, he made 10 pass mistakes. 4 times…

The young player who made all the difference on the right wing of the Bernabeu was completely immersed in the fierce confrontation in the Premier League!

In fact, as early as the first day when the summer transfer market opened in the 2007-08 season, Ferguson pushed Juan Mata into the transfer market!

The Red Devils' listing price for Mata was only 5 million euros, and they were obviously prepared to lose money. However, they didn't expect that no team would express interest in the European star half a season ago. !

By the end of August, in the last few days before the European transfer market closed, Mata's worth even dropped to 3 million euros. The Red Devils had no choice but to privately send fax documents to sell Juan Mata to clubs of all sizes in Europe. , but received no response.

To describe it in the language of the FM system, it is "Juan Mata is left out in front of the goal. At this time, no team is willing to accept this wide player!"

Ferguson was so frustrated that the 10 million pounds was rotten in the pot!

Back to business!

What makes Li Tongfan a little disappointed is that Newcastle, which he is eyeing, has improved after 9 rounds of the Premier League!

The Magpies won two consecutive home games by big scores!

Although Michael Irving's [Superman State] has been reduced since he returned to the club, Li Tongfan arranged for Ito Yun to give him acupuncture and qigong massage, which had a certain effect. After recovering from injury, Irving showed his former killer style, playing 3 games a month. Scored 2 goals...

Although it is far inferior to the performance of the national team, it has already made Newcastle coach Allardyce extremely happy!

You must know that before this, Irving was in a very embarrassing situation in Newcastle!

The extremely high value and salary were exchanged for two consecutive seasons of illness, which made the Magpies fans and players dissatisfied for a long time. Now everything is finally back to normal!

For Newcastle, everything at St. James Park seems to be going in a good direction. No one has noticed that the new boss Mick Ashley is already "in the Cao camp and in the Han"!

On October 10th, the England national team gathered again!

After the third round of Lee's England squad was announced, some people were happy and some were worried!

Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Jock Crane, who was lucky enough to be selected last time, waved goodbye to his national team career, and Joe Hart, who returned from injury, took his place!

Ben Foster, a young player from the Manchester United reserve team, has been away due to injury. Paul Robinson, a good old man with a good attitude, finally returned to the Three Lions as he wished. David James, the Portsmouth sharpshooter who made bad remarks because of his loss last time, Then he was completely thrown into the cold palace!

No one complained for the 37-year-old goalkeeper, because at this time, the madman Li was "covering the sky with one hand" in the British Isles!

Philip Neville's re-selection exceeded the expectations of experts. People originally thought that after the second failure to be selected, the West Ham United defender would never be favored by Mad Lee again, but West Ham United's crazy performance in the Premier League won this all-around defender a chance to perform!

Other than that, there are no changes in the defense line!

In the midfield, Owen Hargreaves, who returned from injury, returned, which directly led to the iron waist Manchester United teammate Michael Carrick's failure to be selected! Carrick did not get a minute of playing time in the three games before Mad Lee. It seems that Mad Lee is not interested in him!

Tottenham Hotspur's talented winger Aaron Lennon was gathered under Mad Lee's command as he wished!

Newcastle teenager James Milner did not have many opportunities to perform in the league, but he still got Mad Lee's recognition!

After Liverpool's center forward Peter Crouch returned from suspension, Crazy Lee still insisted on recruiting Newcastle's "master" Ameobi, which was a small upset!

There was no change in the forward line!

October 13, 19:00! Clouds are shrouded! !

England faced the bottom team Estonia at Wembley!

After 90 minutes, the score was fixed at 4:0!

Captain David Beckham used his special skill, the Crescent Moon Scimitar, to kill with one blow in the 4th minute!

Michael Owen went to the meeting alone before the end of the first half and scored another goal!

In the second half, the England team, which replaced young players, played more and more relaxed. Wayne Rooney and the little tiger Walcott scored a goal in the 65th and 79th minutes of the game!

The 4:0 victory also allowed the England team to avenge the reversal and draw by Estonia in the last round of the two sides!

…

The day after the game, the Three Lions traveled to Moscow to challenge the Russian national team away!

This game is seen as a revenge battle for the Russian national team!

The 1:4 rout at Wembley Stadium on September 13 was the biggest defeat since the Dutchman Hiddink coached the Russian team. The entire Siberian wilderness hoped that the Russian strong men who drank vodka as milk could rise up and win back a game!

The pre-match situation was also very favorable for the Russian national team!

England has a temperate marine climate, and the weather in October is not cold, but after arriving in Moscow, the superstars of the Three Lions immediately showed discomfort because the climate here is almost below zero!

Paul Robinson and Gary Neville and other veterans caught a cold after the first day of training, while the young player Manzianni sprained his ankle during training because of insufficient warm-up and excessive activity...

In addition to weather factors, there is also bad news for the England team-the core of the team David Beckham and Frank Lampard accumulated yellow cards and were suspended!

On October 17, the Russian national team will face an England team whose strength is greatly reduced due to the lack of soldiers and generals!

This is why the Russians are full of confidence!
