Football Modifier

After finishing everything, he closed the screen of the Hummer GO-BOOK laptop. It was already around four o'clock in the morning of the next day. Lao Li yawned and stretched, and finally felt a trace of tiredness. He was just about to stop. I threw it on the bed and slept with my clothes on, when the phone rang again——

"...Mo Huwei...stepped back, Wang Chaoyang Mahan stepped aside...it alarmed Feng Jiali...the black man has a black face..."

The familiar ringtone of Qin Opera excerpts, this is the home phone.

Li Tongfan's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He reached out to pick up the phone and asked habitually: "Hello, dad?"

What surprised Lao Li was that the voice that came over the phone was not his father Li Ying's voice, but the voice of his mother He Feng: "Son, did it wake you up?"

Li Tongfan turned to look at the stars in the night sky outside the window on a winter night, then turned back to the phone receiver and smiled involuntarily: "Mom, no, the sun has come out here, I've been up long ago!"

"...That's good, baby, have you been busy lately?"

"Mom, you're not busy, not at all... Hehe, you eat well and sleep soundly. When will you and my dad take the time to come and stay with me for a few days?" Li Tongfan continued to smile.

"Your dad...well, baby, can you take time to come back?" Mom He Feng's voice sounded a little hesitant on the phone.

Li Tongfan was shocked and said quickly: "Mom, did something happen at home?"

Li Tongfan is very clear about the character of his parents. Both old people are the kind of traditional Chinese parents who regard their children's affairs as more important than the sky. If there is nothing important, they will never do it without knowing that they have a job. I even called him next time to tell me to go back to China.

"No...it's okay. Your dad and I have no worries about food and clothing now. It's okay! Mainly because some relatives recently wanted to see you. Several reporters from CCTV also came, saying they hoped to interview you...City leaders I often say that I want to meet you..."

I see.

Li Tongfan felt light-hearted. As long as nothing happened at home, Lao Li didn't care about anything else. Ever since he became successful, his relatives have followed him to take advantage of him. It is only human nature to want to hold onto Crazy Li’s thick thigh...

However, what Lao Li can't stand the most is the three aunts, two aunts, four uncles, and five aunts who are related to each other in everything. Every time they meet, they will bring their children who have not graduated from junior high school to ask him to help. Arrange work abroad...

Although Lao Li can indeed solve these problems if he really goes all out, the problem is that Lao Li does not run a charity, so what will happen if this continues...

As for the other so-called reporters and leaders, Li Tongfan didn't even bother to talk about them. They were just some guys who relied on their popularity and others who were just trying to gain some political achievements and attention...

Thinking of this, Lao Li said to the phone with a little embarrassment: "Mom, you and my dad can help those relatives and so on. As for reporters and leaders, don't pay attention to them...Mom, you know the team is now During the intense season, it is difficult for me to take time to come back to see you. Otherwise, you and my dad can come to the UK and I will hire someone to take care of you..."

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

After a long while, he continued: "My dear, do your best in your career. Your dad and I still want to stay in China for a while and wait until next spring before going to the UK..."

Li Tongfan could clearly hear the disappointment in his mother's tone.

At that moment, Lao Li felt sour in his heart and almost said, "I'll go back right away." But then he thought about how Newcastle was really inseparable from him in this situation, and the Premier League's devilish Christmas schedule was coming soon. This is really the most important moment that determines whether a team can win the championship at the end of the season. I simply can’t spare the time to go home...

In addition, this damn unlimited FM2009 system has tied him firmly to the field. The consequences of not directing the team's games for a period of time are really unbearable for Lao Li to be honest. After all, "obliteration" These two cold and bloody characters are always hanging above Lao Li's head!

…

In the next few days of training, all members of Newcastle's first team once again experienced Crazy Lee's whimsical training strategies——

Li Tongfan arranged a "master" for each young player to impart experience, and formulated a set of strict supervision measures. Not only to check the training progress of the "apprentice", but also to check the quality of the training and teaching of the "master". Once one of the master and apprentice fails to meet the requirements of the established plan, both will be severely punished...

The Rigbolton training base is full of chaos every day, and the little hammers are complaining incessantly, because after being drilled by the coaches, they have to accept even more fierce drills from their "masters" who like to teach others!

However, the results achieved are also very obvious. This interactive training method of master and apprentice not only invisibly increases the game experience of the young players, but what makes Li Tongfan and the coaching staff even more surprised is the team's tacit understanding during the process. Showing a geometric growth, some beautiful combinations that the Hammers could not do before were also successfully played...

This effect was indeed beyond Li Tongfan's expectation!

Time flies by during intense training, and in a blink of an eye it’s the start of the fourth round of the English League Cup. The Magpies challenge the Hammers West Ham United at Upton Park...

The final result of this game was exactly the same as what Li Tongfan simulated in the FM2009 system. Newcastle finally defeated the Hammers 2:0 in the away game and successfully advanced to the fifth round of the English League Cup.

On November 15, Newcastle faced Everton at home, a Premier League team that coach Moyes has worked hard to manage for many years. After a 90-minute fierce battle at St. James Park, the Magpies finally narrowly defeated the Toffees 2:1.

The one who contributed to Newcastle was the fat alien Ronaldo. He scored twice in the 43rd and 67th minutes of the game. His coquettish running and sharp shooting won the continuous roars of more than 70,000 Newcastle fans in the stadium stands...

It was Australian midfielder Cahill who scored a goal for the Toffees against Everton.

This short-sighted aerial bully who is ranked among the top 5 in the Premier League from FM2007 to FM2009 used his most proficient heading skills to get a goal back for the visiting team in the 88th minute of the game!

On November 22, the Magpies went to an away game to challenge [Rangers] Blackburn.

This game is not easy for Newcastle, because Blackburn is known as the most violent team in the Premier League. "Rangers" consistent strength-based team building policy and violent and lethal tactics are second only to tradition in the Premier League. Chelsea, one of the most powerful blues...

This technical characteristic of Blackburn has allowed them to play the role of nemesis of giants in the Premier League for a long time.

And it is worth mentioning that Blackburn's head coach Paul Ince is also a figure that cannot be underestimated. This man will not abandon his martial arts skills and cooperate on the ground like Scolari, who has always wanted to play beautiful football. The former England legend has transformed Blackburn into a very pragmatic defensive counter-attacking team this season, with good results...

His playing style is violent, his average body height ranks second in the Premier League, he has the highest number of fouls in the Premier League, and his defense is fierce...

Almost every feature of such a team is used to restrain the nemesis of the young Newcastle team, so Li Tongfan, who knows the key, is already prepared to use abnormal saves to win a victory... …

However, when making predictions before the game, he was actually given a rookie-level system mission [Resist Violent Counterattack]. The "task requirements" limited the number of abnormal saves that Li Tongfan could make. After careful consideration, Lao Li decided to give up the system prediction and transfer. And use the cheating methods of [Tactics Pack] to strive for a victory!

The game kicked off under the winter sunshine at Ewood Park.

Facing Blackburn, who performed violence and counterattacks to terrifying heights, Li Tongfan chose more experienced and tenacious older players in this game. The Russian duo Arshavin and Zhirkov dominated Newcastle's left wing. Road, the terrifying striker combination of Michael Owen and Ronald finally appeared in the Premier League again!

30 minutes before the game, Li Tongfan chose the [4-4-2 offensive tactical package] for the sake of safety.

The Magpies have always controlled the rhythm of the game. Blackburn adopted a 4-4-1-1 formation and used long passes and lobs to threaten Newcastle's goal...

Although in the last 15 minutes of the first half, a somewhat impatient Lee Tong-bum once again tried the [4-1-1-4 quick whirlwind tactical package], but due to the personnel configuration in the starting lineup, this tactical package could not be fully utilized. All the power, so the score on the field remained at 0:0 until the end of the first half...

The situation suddenly changed at the beginning of the second half. Blackburn midfielder Steven Reed made a very ordinary cross from the wing. Santa Cruz seized the opportunity and swung his long black hair coquettishly from outside the penalty area to hit a goal that could be called a world wave. The arc helped the home team lead the Magpies 1:0...

The Ewood Park pitch was in a state of excitement, with Blackburn’s head coach Paul Ince running around the pitch in excitement...

Li Tongfan made a desperate move, pushing [Tsar] Arshavin out of the forward position and forming a three forward with Ronaldo and Michael Owen. The Magpie Legion's formation transformed into a [4-3-3 storm attack tactic], attacking with all-out efforts to turn defeat into victory...

Facts have proved that Li Tongfan's tactical change saved Newcastle, so much so that the English media called it "God's instruction" after the game!

"Rangers" Blackburn's violent defense finally exposed its flaws under Newcastle's stormy offensive——

In the 54th minute, [Czar] Arshavin took advantage of the Blackburn center back's mistake of advancing into the midfield to fight for a header and drove the ball straight into the left wing. After running into the penalty area, he faced the defense of the opponent's three defenders. A low shot, the football passed through the wicket of center back Ryan Nelson, bypassing goalkeeper Paul Robinson's block and scoring...

In the 64th minute, [Czar] took a corner kick from the left and sent it directly to the right corner of Blackburn's penalty area. Juan Mata met the ball and shot furiously, hitting a powerful rebound ball to break the net and score...

2:1, Newcastle overtook the score!

The final score of the game was fixed at 2:1. Neither the relentless "attacker" Newcastle nor the calm "counterattacker" Blackburn scored in the following game.

Although the Magpies finally won, the scores of 2:0, 1:0 and 2:1 in the last three games still showed the weakness of the Magpies. In the next round of the Premier League, Newcastle will face the winning streak group at home. The last opponent in -

Arsenal! ——
