Football Modifier

March 17, 2008, morning!

The weather in London is still foggy, with the forecast temperature being around zero. The breeze mixed with the fog blows on my face, which makes me feel wet and a little painful!

10:00 am!

The Newcastle Club bus departed from Newcastle's Riggbottom training base, carrying the team's coaching staff and first-team stars to London!

There, the confident Premier League powerhouse Tottenham Hotspur was waiting at home at White Hart Lane, waiting to ruthlessly ravage the Magpies on the night at White Hart Lane!

And after the bus, there is a huge convoy——

Newcastle fans either drove private cars or organized chartered cars, closely following the club's bus to form a mighty cheering army, dragging a long queue on the road! The St. George's cross flag and Newcastle's team emblem on the vehicle fluttered in the cold wind, just like the Knights of the Cross on a heroic march to the east!

The scale is huge!

Because tonight will be Crazy Lee's first game since coaching Newcastle!

Although it was an away game, according to statistics from the "Newcastle Post" the day before, nearly 10,000 Newcastle fans still expressed their willingness to accompany the team to London to cheer for the team! Fans are waiting for the invincible Madman Li to bring an exciting victory to the Magpies who have not tasted victory for a long time!

…

In the bus, the Newcastle players were watching the video - the Tottenham Hotspur game video!

Li Tongfan stood in front of the TV screen hanging at the front of the bus with a serious face, holding a white delicate pointer in his hand, and explained in detail as the screen paused and analyzed numbers...

"...Tottenham coach Martin Joel likes a 4-4-2 formation and has a special fondness for fast forwards and wide midfielders...According to statistics, Tottenham Hotspur has ended 28 games this season In each Premier League game, although Irishman Robbie Keane and Bulgarian striker Berbatov had a starting probability of 78.5%, this person has received more opportunities in the last six consecutive games. …”

Li Tongfan recalled Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup proposed by the FM2008 system, and began to analyze it in a sophisticated way...

The game screen switched on the TV screen, and it was fixed on the Tottenham striker wearing the white uniform No. 23!

"...Darren Bent, Martin Joel's new favorite, has had a steady chance to play in the last six league games and scored 5 goals. I guess Berbatov's partner in tonight's game will be this guy! "

In the bus compartment, the Newcastle players listened very carefully!

They discovered that Crazy Li seemed to be very passionate about data!

After three days of contact, this head coach who is very popular in England can list a lot of data very skillfully. Everything will be represented by him using the simplest Arabic numerals, such as the current evaluation of Darren Bent——

"...The 23-year-old forward is very fast and can run well without the ball, but his finishing skills and dribbling skills are not the best. Under the personal interference of defensive players, his shooting success rate will drop to 100. Below 18.6/1, this number is a quarter of what he would have been without interference..."

Li Tongfan pointed to the highlights of Darren Bent's shooting shots on the TV screen and explained his tactical arrangements: "So, Steven, your task today is to stick to him as tightly as brown candy, don't give him any Can he do it if he has any space to shoot?"

Steven Tyler!

Young, the center back who has been tipped to be Newcastle's captain for the next 10 years by Lao Li, is a 1.88-meter-tall white guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His muscles are full of strength and oppression! Although he is only 22 years old this year, he feels very stable! After hearing the boss's arrangement, the young man nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry, boss, I won't let him even have a chance to breathe!"

Li Tongfan smiled with satisfaction and continued his analysis!

"... Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is the darling of White Hart Lane. He is fast and technical, and his ability to pass from the base is first-rate. However, Lennon's breakthroughs are very regular. When he goes on the right wing, he uses his right foot. The probability of going outside is as high as 89.5%, and the probability of cutting inside when playing on the left is 74.5%. So, I think you should understand how to defend him. ?”

"...Captain Ledley King's habitual actions when defending...but it lies in the speed of turning and the awareness of the first landing point..."

"...Goalkeeper Paul Robinson's saving habits are...The comparison of the data for saving high-altitude balls and ground balls is...I suggest that forwards choose when shooting..."

…

For a whole hour, Li Tongfan carefully explained the technical movement characteristics and personal playing habits of Tottenham Hotspur's starting players! Such a specific image of digital tactical layout and the suggestions given look almost perfect to Newcastle players!

Even assistant coach Alan Shearer and other members of the coaching staff were listening with great interest!

It was the first time for everyone to discover that the tactical arrangements of a football match could be broken down so clearly and in detail using Arabic numerals. Although many football coaches have used data analysis methods before, it is difficult to be so detailed and accurate...

It’s hard to imagine how much hard work this man known as Crazy Li put in behind these huge figures to collect information, organize the data, and then make the most accurate analysis...

No wonder Crazy Li is called [God on the sidelines of football]!

No wonder he can lead Real Madrid and the England national team to victory...

For a man who has put all his experience into football, it is simply unreasonable to fail!

At this moment, the Magpie stars finally began to respect Li Tongfan from the bottom of their hearts... instead of just obeying because of Lao Li's fame and prestige like they did a few days ago!

If you want to gain the sincere respect of others, you have to show enough skills - this is an eternal law that will not change at any time and in any place in basic interpersonal relationships!

…

After analyzing Tottenham's starting lineup and each player's technical movements based on the TV footage, Li Tongfan asked the driver to turn off the TV, then took out a thick stack of materials from his briefcase and distributed them to each player!

"... Each of you will get two pieces of information in your hand. The first piece is the data analysis of every Tottenham player you may encounter at White Hart Lane tonight. I ask you to put this piece of information into your hands before the game. Memorize the information by heart, and it will help you make the most correct choices in offense or defense in the game..."

With Newcastle's coaching staff and stars looking at him like God, Lee Tong-bum tried his best to suppress his pride after his vanity was satisfied, while pretending to be a calm and indifferent master, one by one he held his hands. The information is distributed to the players!

"...As for the second information, I think it will be more helpful to you! It will tell you what shortcomings and blind spots you are not aware of in your own technical movements and habitual playing methods. And put forward the most scientific improvement method..."

Li Tongfan, amidst the surprised expressions of a car full of people whose mouths were open enough to stuff a big duck egg, finally couldn't help but smile proudly: "Believe me, all of this is based on the most reasonable data of your performance in the past hundred games. The results of the analysis... Oh, of course, you can also choose to ignore this suggestion. As long as you are confident that you can perform better on the court, I will not have any objection..."

The players who received the materials began to read them carefully with their heads down. After less than ten minutes, all of them raised their heads and cast their eyes in surprise, shock, admiration or disbelief at the one who was already sitting in the front row, closed his eyes and started to rest. man……

Newcastle's stars are all "old players". After seeing the materials given by Lao Li and comparing them with their usual performance and habits, they can completely determine the practicality of the materials given to them by the boss without further experiments... …

It's all true!

Extremely accurate! !

Hit the nail on the head! ! !

This kind of thing is simply like the magical spells of Harry Potter in the legendary myths and legends. If there is such a material when their technical movements have not yet been finalized, and they train according to this suggestion, it is estimated that everyone will be able to There will be a more brilliant career...

Of course, it's not too late now. The hammers looked at each other a few times, their faces full of excitement!

In the bus, the atmosphere that was originally a bit low and dull suddenly became lively and uplifting... Li Tongbum could feel this change sitting in the front seat with his eyes closed!

The sultry man's heart was filled with as much pride as if his trick had succeeded!

Hehe, the so-called data will of course be extremely accurate, because these are all forward-looking data results obtained from the FM2008 system!

Could the FM system be wrong?

The first piece of information for Tottenham Hotspur players can greatly improve Newcastle's winning rate against Tottenham Hotspur on the road, allowing the Hammers to find confidence in the game!

The second information on Newcastle players has a greater effect. It can not only win people's hearts, but also help Lao Li explain why "modified" players such as Michael Owen, Steven Taylor, and Alan Smith have become He suddenly became unstoppable and brave... When people asked, they would say it was the result of training according to the "secrets"!

The cost of obtaining this information was just two free queries of Li Tongfan's system database worth 2 character points!

Well worth it!

Let data speak for itself. This is Li Tongfan’s latest boring idea!

This idea can help Lao Li perfectly explain some miraculous things - such as Real Madrid's probability of a complete winning season, such as the reasons for the sudden outbreak of certain players, such as the basis for his unfavorable substitutions in the game, such as that The middle finger threat theory caused by several pretense...

The [Data Query] function newly added after the expansion of the FM system database is simply a shield tailor-made for men like Li Tongfan who love to act cool!

…

Three or four hours later, the bus finally entered London!

After arriving in Newcastle and staying at the "Green Jam" hotel that has been booked near White Hart Lane Stadium, they will conduct an hour of adaptation training in the stadium... Then, Lao Li will lead one or two first-team players in accordance with Premier League practice. Attend the pre-match press conference!

Then, according to Li Tongfan's plan, the Magpie Legion should gain victory!

I saw a swordsman in the book review section talking about the schedule. Xiaodao explained it to the brothers!

The schedule in the book is indeed different from the real one. I made some minor changes for the needs of the story without affecting the reading!

Thank you for the comments in the book review area, which gave me a lot of ideas and inspiration, such as [Wife, come and see the leftovers], hehe...

Finally, I would like to recommend this basketball competition book, "NBA Crossing Passage", book number 1709836, written by an old author, and is on the new book list. Brothers who love basketball can go and take a look!
