In fact, Li Tongfan had noticed this Dutch teenager Nasser Balaqit a year ago in the FM2007 era!

However, at that time, the little guy was still a member of Arsenal U18 youth team. And the reason why Lao Li remembered Balaqit was not because this young player was extremely talented, but because the Dutchman actually had the same exaggerated "attribute" as the oriental little giant Yao Ming-

Tall!

Too tall!

At the age of 17, he was 1.94 meters tall. I wonder how tall he will be when he grows up?

Such an innate advantage can even occupy a place among the tall people in the NBA. If he were to choose the goalkeeper position or the center position on the green field, he would definitely be a piece of unpolished jade that can be carved!

What is more worth mentioning is that Balaqit's current position in FM2008 is actually an attacking midfielder, which is enough to show that the Dutch teenager's flexibility and footwork are still good!

Sure enough, the key values ​​given to Barrachit in the FM2008 system are also good - [Speed] and [Explosive Power] are both 15, [Passing] is 16, and other values ​​such as [Creativity], [Brave], [Judgment], and [Calmness] are more than 10... For a 17-year-old underage player, it is already very high!

The only thing Li Tongfan can't figure out is why Arsenal's professor Wenger, who has always been famous for discovering and cultivating young talents, is willing to sell the future star Barrachit to Newcastle?

And the transfer fee is only 57.5 pounds?

...

As for the mixed-blood glutton Gigi, Lao Li has never forgotten him!

On the one hand, because the Magpies' first-team affairs have been too busy in the past one or two months, Li Tongfan has no time to take care of this mixed-blood glutton for the time being; on the other hand, Lao Li actually has some plans to continue to observe the professional attitude of this little guy.

You have to know that to become a truly great football player, in addition to the love for football, you must also have a heart that can endure loneliness and know how to constantly absorb experience from all aspects, and have a clear plan for your career!

And now it seems that the little guy is doing well!

Through the FM2008 system, it can be seen that Gigi's position on the field is a forward. And he is actually the top scorer in the Newcastle U18 youth team. Gigi has scored a total of 13 goals in a limited 11 starts and 8 substitute appearances!

This is a beautiful data!

To ​​be honest, Li Tongfan was a little surprised by the excellent performance of the mixed-blood glutton!

Think about the little guy's thin body, and then think about his scarred right leg... Lao Li thought that even if he had let Gigi "mix" into the Newcastle youth team through Torosi-Don's relationship, the little guy could only be a role player who was just hanging around. Who knows...

Could it be that this mixed-blood glutton's talent is unexpectedly good?

Li Tongfan opened FM-MM with great interest and quickly checked Gigi's data!

However, what disappointed Lao Li was that the facts were exactly the opposite of his guess. The evaluation given to Gigi in the FM2008 system was not high, and it could even be said to be low!

Very low!

[Potential ability] 100, [Current ability] 85!

Such values ​​are extremely ordinary among the many young players in 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 man physique!

From these comprehensive values, among all 34 young players in the Magpie U18 youth team, Gigi's potential can't even be ranked in the top 20!

Then why did the little guy become the top scorer of the Magpie Youth Team?

After carefully observing Gigi's data again and comparing it with the relevant data of other players in the youth team, Lao Li finally found a clue -

The gap between Gigi's [Potential Ability] and [Current Ability] is very, very small, with a difference of only 15 points!

In other words, Gigi's [Current Ability] ranks among the top 34 U18 young players!

Moreover, the few 85 points of [Current Ability] values ​​are reasonably distributed to the key attributes that a striker should have. Although [Speed] and [Explosive Power] have just passed the double ten due to his physique, [Shooting], [Dribbling], [Technique], [Positioning on the Field], etc. have reached the level of a first-class professional player!

On the contrary, [Tackle], [Out of Bounds], [Corner Kick] and other values ​​are all zero!

There is only one explanation for this phenomenon - Gigi is an extremely smart and hardworking player!

He is smart because Gigi has transformed all his potential into the ability that a striker should have in the most scientific way during training, without wasting any of his extremely precious points in vain! Such a player obviously has a clever brain.

In other words, Gigi is a rare person who can use his "brain" to play football!

He is hardworking because Gigi is the only one among the 34 U18 young players who can improve [Current Ability] to such a proportion!

Such a high utilization ratio of [potential ability] and [current ability] is rare even among many international superstars. For example, Ronaldo, the most popular player in the world in the 2007-08 season, has a [potential ability] of 196, but a [current ability] of only 180... In total, C-Ronaldo's ability utilization rate is even worse than Gigi!

It’s hard to imagine how much hardship and sweat Gigi had to endure to achieve such results!

But the current level has basically reached the peak that Jiji can reach in this life! No matter how hard this mixed-race bastard works in the future, there will be no significant improvement!

Because, for the mixed race rice bucket Jiji, the fatal flaw lies in his innate physical fitness and football potential!

However, are these two shortcomings that are fatal to other coaches still a problem in front of Lao Li?

As long as you have enough character points, everything will be done!

…

The next afternoon.

The sun is clear and the weather is good.

Newcastle Riggbottom Training Base!

Since they have just experienced a tough battle at Old Trafford, and the next game against Aston Villa is still several days away, the stars of Newcastle's first team have been given a two-day break, so inside the base It seems a little empty.

But although it is empty, it is not silent!

Because when Li Tongfan came to the Riggbottom training base, he was surprised to find a fierce match going on on the lawn of Court No. 4 - the Magpies U18 youth team was facing the bottom of the first group of the England Under-18 Youth League. Second round opponent Liverpool Youth Team!

At this time, the game has reached the 70th minute, and the away team Liverpool Youth Team leads the Magpies U18 echelon 3:1! And judging from the scene, the Magpies U18 echelon was firmly suppressed by the opponent.

If this situation continues, it is estimated that the score gap between the two teams will widen before long!

Since it was a youth team game, almost no fans or reporters came here to watch the game! Occasionally there are some middle-aged uncles or uncles wearing sunglasses and pointing with notebooks on the sidelines. They should be full-time scouts!

Soon after Lao Li came to the sidelines, he was discovered by Miguel Pearson, the head coach of the U18 team!

The 32-year-old thin England coach was obviously very surprised by the arrival of Li Tongfan! Because after Crazy 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. Mensao Man didn't even know there was a competition before he came. He just came to observe the training of Balakhit and Gigi... But since there is a competition, it's the best!

"Li, I'm glad you can come..."

Pierson was a huge admirer of Mad Lee. In fact, there aren't many people in Newcastle who don't admire Mad Lee. So for Lao Li's arrival, Pearson immediately expressed his warm welcome: "The children have long wanted your personal guidance... You have to know that in the eyes of these little guys, you are just like the almighty God. There is no difference at all!”

The vanity of the sultry man was greatly satisfied, but as a high-quality idol of the new era, Lao Li still expressed his modesty at the first moment!

"Miguel, it doesn't look like the situation is going well..." Li Tongfan glanced at the situation on the court after being polite!

When talking about the game, Miguel Pearson immediately frowned: "The kids have worked very hard, but Liverpool has a few good prospects..."

Li Tongfan nodded to express his understanding.

Then carefully observe the situation on the field!

As expected, the Dutch youngster Nasser Balachit appeared in the attacking midfielder position. This 1.94-meter-tall young player is very eye-catching among his peers. He has good skills with his feet and has a strong ability to escape from the spot! However, because it is far away from the goal, it does not pose a big threat to the Liverpool youth team, because every time Balakhit sends a threatening ball, it will be wasted by his own forward...

However, Jiji, the focus of Li Tongfan's inspection, was not present!

what happened?

Could it be that Gigi won't get a starting chance? No, according to FM2008 data, he is the forward who has scored the most goals for the Newcastle U18 youth team this season...

He turned around and glanced at the bench not far away, and sure enough he found among a bunch of young substitute players, the handsome Jiji with thick black ear-length hair falling softly on his cheeks, sitting on the sidelines watching the game intently, anxious from time to time. Sigh...

The little guy obviously hasn't noticed his arrival yet!

Seeing this, Li Tongfan had some concerns in his mind! He turned around and suggested to Pearson with a smile: "Miguel, I think the big man will be more of a threat if he is closer to the goal..."

"You mean Balachet?" Pearson followed Li Tongfan's fingers and looked a little confused: "But his shooting and header are not very good..."

"It doesn't matter, just try it!"

…

So, under Lao Li's "dictatorship", Pearson quickly changed his tactics!

After the change of formation!

The 1.94-meter Nasser Balakhit did pose a great threat to his opponents after entering the penalty area of ​​the Liverpool youth team, but the Dutch teenager's poor shooting skills always made him miss the goal!

Seeing this, the sultry man turned around with a smile and asked Pierce: "Are there any substitutes who are better at seizing opportunities? They must be flexible and know how to use their brains to play football..."

"Maybe Gigi can give it a try!"

Pearson "bited" Li Tongfan's bait without hesitation, turned around and called Jiji to come over and warm up!

It wasn't until this moment that the young Newcastle U18 players discovered that the lunatic Li who had saved Newcastle had come to the sidelines at some point, and they all gathered around!

The sudden burst of cheers from the little guys is enough to show the importance of Lao Li in the hearts of the little players!

After trying his best to put on the purest and most friendly face to greet these "flowers of Newcastle", Li Tongfan unceremoniously "stepped in" - taking over the right to direct on the spot in Pierce's place!

Gigi was quickly substituted and formed a new strike combination with Balakhit for Newcastle's U18 team!

In this way, although the opportunity created by the Dutch big man could not be grasped by himself, it was cheaper for Gigi! The mixed race's ability to grab points in the penalty area is obviously better than that of his peers!

At the request of Li Tongfan, Newcastle U18 played the most primitive and simple long pass and lob. The young players obviously felt their morale soared when they discovered the arrival of crazy 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 the ball twice from Balachet and sent the football into the door of the Liverpool Youth Team twice!

In the end, the Magpies U18 team drew with the "powerful" Liverpool youth team thanks to Crazy Li's change of formation!

After signing autographs for the enthusiastic young players and complying with their requests for photos, with everyone's envious eyes on them, Li Tongfan pointed at Balakhit and Gigi and said to the head coach of the youth team, Miguel Pearson:

"Let these two little guys report to the first team tomorrow!"

I’ll make more compensation after Xiaodao finishes his work at home!
