A middle-aged man walked up to a desk and knocked on the workstation baffle.

"Hey, Matt, did the boss ask you if the analysis video of the last game was made?"

Busy in front of the monitor was a young man with messy blond hair, he looked away from the computer monitor, glanced at the middle-aged man next to him, and then looked back: "Right now, right away, right away, you can enter the rendering right away." ”

"Wow, Matt, why are your dark circles heavier?" The middle-aged man exclaimed when he saw the obvious dark circles on the young man's pale face.

"I only slept for three hours yesterday...... "The blonde young man yawned.

"I said you worked too hard to complete the task given by the leader, right?"

"No, no...... It doesn't take too long to do an analysis video. The young man waved his hand.

"Then why did you go? Have you recently gotten a girlfriend? The middle-aged man had a gossipy look on his face.

The young man's upper and lower eyelids were almost glued together: "CGF (short for "The Godfather of Champions") is my girlfriend, and I played with her almost all night yesterday. ”

The middle-aged man gave him a thumbs up: "Hats off, young man, I can't stay up so long for "The Godfather of Champions" right now. ”

"You know, Harry. Playing Godfather of Champions is also part of my job. The young man yawned again, tears squeezing out of his eyes.

Seeing that he might fall asleep in front of the computer at any time, the middle-aged man shook his head: "I won't bother you, you hurry up, you want it in the afternoon." ”

"Okay, don't worry, it will be done before noon." The young man waved his hand without raising his head, and continued to work on his work computer.

Matt Dawn, a video analyst at Hammond Castle, an English Championship team, is twenty-six years old and single.

He is working hard to fulfill the task given to him by the team's head coach, Tony Clark.

He needed to divide the last Hammond Castle game into individual clips of each player, then combine his analysis of the players' performances in the game into a video, and then edit it together into a short video clip of about 20 minutes.

The video will be given to head coach Tony Clark, who will show it to the coaching staff's tactical meetings and show it to the players to tell them what they have to praise and what they have to criticise in their last game.

This video will be an important reference for the coaching staff to make the next game tactics, and it is also the basis for the coaching staff to formulate the players' training plan for the new week.

In short, while video data analysts don't appear in the dugout of a game, are not taken care of by the TV broadcast, and no media or fans care about them, the position is becoming more and more important to the team's head coach.

He had been working as a video analyst at the club for three years, and it was a difficult job at first, as he had to watch the game footage several times and pause frequently to record his analysis. The transcript alone is sprinkled with many pages.

After the summary, the video editing process begins.

Now he's so familiar with all of this that he keeps an eye on every player's performance when he watches the game live, and prepares a voice recorder to record everything he observes and thinks.

When he starts making videos after the game, he can save a lot of time watching the game video repeatedly, and he can also save the time of recording with a pen and refer directly to his own recording.

This has greatly improved his work efficiency.

Most of the work time is actually spent on video editing and production, much faster than before.

Not long after his colleague left, he finished the video and pressed the output button.

The next step is to automatically render and generate the video by the computer, which usually takes some time, ranging from ten minutes to half an hour.

Of course, if you are willing to use a better computer, the rendering time will be much shorter, if not dramatically.

But Hammond Castle isn't the kind of club with deep pockets, and it's impossible to equip a video analyst with the best video workstation available today just to speed him up by a few minutes.

Besides, Matt Dawn himself doesn't think there's any need to spend so much money to upgrade his computer to speed up the video output, isn't it good for him to do something else in these ten minutes to half an hour?

Now, for example, during this waiting time, Matt Dawn picked up his phone and planned to take a look around the buzzing neighborhood to see what interesting posts there were.

He quickly browses the titles of posts in the community of people, and if he is interested in them, he clicks in to see the specific content.

If you're not interested, just swipe through it and go to the next page.

He reads quickly, occasionally clicking into the title to quickly skim through the content, and then exits to continue scrolling down.

So he quickly skimmed through the five or six pages of the forum until a headline popped up.

"I would like to recommend a Chinese super genius to everyone!"

This is a very common title, and posts like this kind of title explode every day in the community, I don't know how many, just change the name of the country.

But it still caught Matt Dawn's attention, and his finger hovered over the post.

Because for the first time he saw the name "China" appear in a title like this.

Are there football geniuses among the Chinese?

Or a super genius?

"Interesting...... Matt Dwayne muttered, then clicked in.

“…… That's all I have to say about Lai Hu. I hope you don't get hung up on his stats, trust me, it doesn't make sense to Lai Hu, and when you coach him yourself, you'll see that he's far beyond what the game has calibrated for him...... I'd like to call Lai Hu a little easter egg in the latest update package v23.2.5 for this game, he silently waits to be discovered, like a rough diamond buried deep in the earth, and when it sees the light of day, it will definitely shine in the sun......"

Matt Dawn read the post in its entirety.

This was a post made eight hours ago, but it only has just over a hundred views and two replies.

It can be seen that although the author tried very hard to recommend his favorite player, the effect did not seem to be very good, and no one cared about his recommendation.

A new ID, the first post, in the overwhelming community, such a person and such a post means that there is no credibility at all, and basically no one will believe what he says in this post.

The only two replies to the post, one is also questioning and sarcastic: "Listening to your description, I thought this was a calf with a potential value of -8 or more, and I also went to the game to check the potential value of this person with a scouting tool, and found that it was a fixed potential of 125...... I don't know much about the Chinese players, but it's clear that this potential doesn't deserve so much of your exaggerated description......"

The second reply is the landlord's reply to this reply: "...... I've spent so much time in my posts reminding you not to pay too much attention to those numbers, but I didn't expect you to use scouting tools to see the potential of players as soon as you come up, and you don't know how to play this game without scouting tools, right? Does it matter if the potential is -8 or solid potential? I've always said actual performance, actual performance, actual performance...... I hope you recognize these words and understand what they mean. Game data is based on the data reported by the investigator and the game company, and does not reflect 100% of a player's actual ability in reality. And how many -10 demons in the game over the years have not ended up being obscure? I'm posting this to recommend a talented player with a great value for money, not to compare the numbers with others, you and I are not the same type of players, so don't talk nonsense here. ”

Potential is an important statistic in the game Godfather of Champions, and this statistic is not displayed directly in the game, but requires players to use some additional plugins, such as "Scouting Tools".

This value represents the game's determination of the player's future cap.

Full value of 200, but few people are able to reach it. The game takes a different approach to young players with a lot of potential to express their potential: -10.

A negative sign indicates that the player's potential is random, and the number that follows represents the random range of the player's potential.

For example, -10 means that the player's potential value in the game is a minimum of 170 and a maximum of 200, and the player may get a completely different potential value every time he opens a file.

A young player who can reach -10 potential is a top talent.

For example, the most popular young player in the last two years, Argentine "Young Eagle" Melly Banega, he was only 15 years old when he first appeared in the game, and the potential value given by the game was already -9, which means that his specific potential value will be between 150 and 180.

The following year, when he was sixteen years old, his potential in the game became -10, which fully demonstrated the optimism of the "young eagle".

Of course, Melly Banega has lived up to the game's admiration, and now at La Liga giants Madrid Kings, he is already considered the best successor to Louis Francis – not on the pitch, but in the team's position – and he will take over the legacy from the legendary star to lead the Kings to greater glory.

Nowadays, he no longer needs to use random data to express his potential, and in the latest version of the Godfather of Champions game, his potential is fixed at 197, which is the highest potential of all active players. From a gaming point of view, it is true to say that he is the strongest of the younger generation in football today.

As for the -8 potential value mentioned in the post, it means that the specific potential value fluctuates between 130 and 160. If you are lucky, the opening file has a potential value of 160, and it is fully cashed out, and it is a player who can play the main role in the European giants.

If a young player is fixed potential, it either means that the player is recognized as strong, and he must rely on random potential to indicate the uncertainty of his future growth, just like Melly Banega, fix the potential value of 197, and tell all players that this is a young talent who can definitely grow into the first person in the world.

Either it means that the game is not optimistic about the player's future growth, the player's growth space is limited, and no matter how much you train and cultivate the game, that's it.

Like Hu Lai's current 125 fixed potential, if it is put in Chinese football, it is actually okay. You must know that if all his 125 potential can be turned into the current ability value, then the 125 ability value is at the level of the Chinese national team, and he can play a rotation player in the middle and lower reaches of the five major European leagues.

Matt Dawn, a veteran player of "The Godfather of Champions", is naturally very familiar with these things, and he can see at a glance what the two people are fighting for.

The landlord said that the player named "Lai Hu" was a typical low-scorer, high-energy, very useful player, while the person who replied to him thought that the player's potential was too low to be worthy of attention.

After watching such an argument, Matt Dawn became more interested in the "Lai Hu" mentioned by the landlord, whether it is really low score and high energy, or the potential is too low to be worth mentioning, or you have to verify it yourself to know.

So he put down his phone, picked up the tablet on his desk, opened the mobile version of "Godfather of Champions 2023", and created a new file to specifically add teams and players from China to the database selection.

After the opening, he directly used the nuclear weapon modifier to transfer the player called "Lai Hu" to Albuquerque, the League One team he coached.

Only then did he start to take a closer look at the player's stats.

In terms of technical attributes, 6 passes, 3 crosses, 1 marking, 9 penalty kicks, 5 technical kicks, 2 corner kicks, 1 throw-in, 4 dribbles, 1 tackle, 2 free kicks, 9 shots, 10 stops, 8 headers, 4 long shots.

In terms of mental attributes, defensive positioning 5, work commitment 6, concentration 8, determination 15, leadership 5, aggression 6, vision 6, teamwork 11, running off the ball 13, imagination 7, willpower 8, courage 6, anticipation 7, composure 10.

Physical attributes, explosive power 8, bounce 9, agility 9, stamina 12, balance 8, strength 10, speed 8, constitution 13. (Note 1)

Emmmmm……

Seeing such data, Matt Dawn has an expression of "the old man in the subway looks at his phone".

He read the post that the player was a player in China's second tier, and he chose to coach a team in the third tier of England to test the player's ability in view of the fact that Chinese football itself is not of high level.

But looking at it now, I am afraid that this data will not be able to play the main team in the middle of League One.

Matt Dawn felt that he was wasting his time, and even thought that there were any talented players to watch in China.

Just as he was about to close the save, he noticed the highest attribute in Hulai's stats:

Decision, 15.

Matt Dawn, a veteran Godfather of Champions player and veteran Godfather of Champions data investigator, is well aware of what this attribute means and why it matters.

The values of this person's other attributes are very low, but this decision is not high, compared to his other attributes, it is completely like two people.

He began to believe a little bit that the landlord said that this player had a low score and high ability.

After all, it has a whopping 15 decisions......

Thinking of this, Matt Dawn changed his mind about turning off the game and decided to keep playing.

He began to tweak the squad and design targeted training content for the Chinese player.

Then continue the game, keep playing, keep playing...... And so on, to see if the Chinese player, known as "Lai Hu", can survive in a team in the middle and lower reaches of League One.

During this time, his colleague Harry Speed came to him again and asked him for a video, and after copying the video to the other party on a USB drive, he continued to sit at his workstation and play games.

Harry knew that playing the game Godfather of Champions was indeed a way of working for Matt, so he didn't bother him, grabbed the USB drive and quietly left.

Matt Dawn continued to play his game.

Matt tried to give Lai Hu a chance to start in the pre-season warm-up game, but the player did so badly that he had a post-match rating of 5.4.

Later, after the official start of the league, Matt gave the player another chance to start, and the performance still did not improve, and even once he was knocked to the ground in the penalty area, and the referee did not even say anything, thinking that it was not a foul.

With Matt's knowledge of League One's style and the player's strength of only 10, he, as a manager, felt that the referee had made the right decision......

Matt gave Lai Hu a couple of substitute appearances over the next two months of playtime, but the player's performances were hardly good.

The only thing that can comfort Matt, or sustain him from finishing the game, is that in the more than four months since he moved here, the Chinese player has grown relatively quickly. His shots have risen to 12, 13 stops, 10 headers, 10 concentrations, and his decisions have risen a bit to 16. In addition, there is a corresponding increase in physical fitness.

With the young player improving so quickly, Matt can't help but look forward to what he can do for himself.

Finally, three months after the start of the league, Matt once again started Lai Hu.

This time, Lai Hu lived up to his expectations and scored his first goal in the game!

“WOOOOW！！” Matt, who had been staring at the tablet at his desk, couldn't help but wave his fist when he saw this moment.

Lai Hu finally scored, and it took him almost five months to settle into League One before scoring his first goal, albeit a follow-up shot, but it was a goal.

So what's next?

Matt Dawn continues the game.

That missed goal was like turning on some kind of mode switch for Lai Hu, and in the next game, Lai Hu scored consecutive goals and couldn't stop it.

During the lunch break, Matt had a casual bite to eat in the team cafeteria, and while eating, he was playing with the tablet and didn't care about what he ate.

In the afternoon, he does not have to stay in the training base and can go home.

So he packed his things and walked out of the training base with the tablet playing games all the way. When someone greeted him on the way, he just responded simply, both his eyes and his brain were on the tablet.

He got on the bus with the tablet, got off the bus with the tablet, walked home with the tablet, opened the door and walked in.

After a brief greeting to his parents, he went upstairs with the tablet in his hand, returned to his room, and continued to play while lying on the bed.

At dinner time, his mother called him downstairs, and he came down with the tablet and played while eating. His parents knew about his work, and although they were a little surprised by this scene, they didn't ask much.

After eating, he went upstairs with his head down and playing, then locked himself in his bedroom and continued to play.

The middle tablet ran out of power, and he also turned out the charger, plugged it in and continued the game while charging.

※※※

When Matt came back to his senses, he realized that it was already four o'clock in the morning......

"Hell! What did I do! Matt stared at the tablet, his hands in his hair, scratching his head vigorously.

The screen of the tablet is still the game screen, which is no longer the same file he originally opened.

In the middle of the game, he had a new idea, so he restarted the gear. This time he chose to coach Hammond Castle, the Championship team he now works for, but instead of using nuclear weapons to directly modify Lai Hu into his own team, he opted for a normal transfer operation.

How can an English second-tier team be turned down if they throw an olive branch to a player who plays for a Chinese second-tier team?

He quickly secured the transfer deal, spending £1 million to poach the 19-year-old striker from AnDong ShanXing.

But after all the contracts were finalized, he got stuck on his labor certification, and in the end he had to choose to sign Lai Hu and then go out on loan.

But after two years of playing, Lai Hu still hasn't been able to get a labor certification, and Matt has no patience to continue waiting, so he can only use nuclear weapons to give the player a second citizenship of the United Kingdom, so that he will not be subject to labor certification restrictions.

Meanwhile, Lai Hu has made great strides since returning to Hammond Castle after two seasons on loan outside.

Better than the stats he had trained for four months in his first save.

Back at Hammond Castle, Lai Hu exploded into a powerful attack in his first game, scoring twice to help his side win, and then another unstoppable goalscoring spree.

In his first season at Hammond Castle, Lai Hu scored 27 goals in the league and was second in the league scorer list by just two goals. With the help of his goal, Hammond Castle made a breakthrough in the Championship and secured a promotion place, and they became a Premier League team this season!

In fact, Matt was planning to save and sleep after playing this season, but he thought that he would be promoted in the end, and after becoming a Premier League team, he would play in the Premier League in the new season, Matt was even more curious - with Lai Hu's ability, what can he do in the Premier League?

So he went back to playing.

In his first season in the Premier League, Lai Hu didn't seem to be quite comfortable with this kind of faster-paced game, with a mediocre performance, scoring just eleven goals in a season.

Matt wasn't happy with the result and went back to playing. In his second season, Lai Hu's performances were noticeably better, scoring a total of 25 goals in all competitions, which is already very impressive, even if not the world's top striker, but it can be considered first-class in the Premier League.

With the help of his goal-after goal-by-goal campaign, Hammond Castle also qualified for the Europa League.

Just when Matt wanted to continue playing, he glanced at the time on his phone, only to realize that it was already four o'clock in the morning......

No, I can't play anymore, or I'll fall asleep at the training base tomorrow......

Matt Dawn gritted his teeth and tore the tablet off the charging cable and placed it on his desk.

He himself went back to bed and lay down to sleep.

At this time, he remembered the words written by the landlord in that post:

“…… As long as you play patiently and believe me, you will find a very strange phenomenon - obviously a player who looks at the statistics very ordinarily, and even a little bad, but why can he score goals? There was a serious mismatch between his on-field performance and his stats......"

This should be the landlord's tricks in order to attract people, Matt of course knows the reason behind this, this is not some unsolved mystery, as a character in the game, everything he does must follow the rules of the game, the reason why he can score so much, it must be based on the rules set by the game.

Lai Hu's determination is high, his concentration is good, and his off-ball movement and teamwork are improving quickly.

These four important attributes determine that he can always be in the right position and make the right choices in the game.

With this premise, even if his shot stats are not too high, he can always score goals.

In Matt's view, whether it is technical attributes such as shooting and stopping the ball, or physical attributes such as agility, endurance and strength, they can all be improved through later training.

The real talents are those spiritual attributes that he just mentioned.

It is really interesting that a nineteen-year-old young man who is thousands of miles away in the mysterious East has such a spiritual attribute......

That was Matt Dawn's last thought before falling asleep.

Note 1: I used FM's Editor Editor to make a Hulai directly, and set it according to these data, but because I didn't have time to play, I don't know how such Hulai performed in the game, whether it could really be played like Zhang Zihao or Matt Dawn.

If anyone is interested and has time, they can make a Hulai according to this data, put it in the game for a run, and see how it goes......

In addition, I previously made a game database for FM2019 with all my previous original characters.

However, this is the database of FM2019, I don't know if the latest FM2020 is supported.

Why not make an FM2020? Because there is no time.

It took me days to do this......

If the FM2019 database can be compatible with other versions of FM, consider putting it on for everyone to play.

It's mainly a compatibility problem.,I don't know if it's going to work......

PS2: I found that some people misunderstood the first two chapters, Hulay and his teammates made a bet on the FA Cup to draw the amateur team, and then the next game will be a shoeshine celebration, not a shoe-shine celebration against the amateur team. After the draw, the next game is the Chinese League, and the away team will open the Flag Eagles, and the FA Cup match with the amateur team will not be played until July 5.

So the shoe-shine game wasn't played against the amateur team from the start.

I'd better go ahead and fix it......
