Chapter 4 First Use of Scouting Tools

The improvement of the player's individual ability and the team's overall pinch are inseparable from the guidance of the coach, so Li Mudi first recalled what other staff members of the team were in service this season.

Due to the change of manager, and the expiration of some contracts in the summer, there are currently three other Castile staff members: defensive coach Santiago Sánchez, goalkeeper coach Roberto Vázquez and team doctor Jesús Angel Santos. If you can take charge of tactical training yourself, you need at least three full-time coaches who will coach attack, technique and fitness.

Technical coach Li Mudi already has a candidate in mind, which is the former Real Madrid star Santiago Solari, who is now coaching Real Madrid's Under-19 team. When he was an active player, he was a fringe international for Argentina and his skills were very good. On the left flank of Real Madrid's partnership with Zizou and Carlos, the coordination between the three was praised by commentators as a punching machine, even in the face of the opponent's impregnable defense, it can be successfully penetrated. Li Mudi wanted to transfer him to Castile as an assistant coach, assisting him in tactical training and mainly responsible for the technical training of the players. The reason why Solari was identified so quickly, in addition to his technical ability, is also due to Real Madrid's habit of using retired players who have played here as coaches in the development and youth teams. Of course, the most important reason is: in reality, when Zizou replaced Benitez to take over Real Madrid in January 16, he was taken over by Solari, and he performed well in the second half of the season, almost being promoted. Otherwise, from the perspective of technology and celebrity status, Guti, who also served in the U19s, should be a better choice.

The rest of the offensive coaches and physical coaches, Li Mudi plans to report to the chairman, with the information and connections of the parent team, it is really a piece of cake to find a suitable coach. After making plans, Li Mudi put his contract in a drawer, took out the team plan he had prepared before, walked out of the apartment, and went to the office building not far away.

After listening to the half-hour presentation, the chairman, Mr. Francisco, was delighted that the 74-year-old man was still full of enthusiasm and love for football.

"Li, you don't have to report those training details to me or anything, I don't understand well. Athletically, you coaches are the authorities, and my role is to serve the team and serve you. Now that the team has chosen you to lead Castile, at least for this time, all the members and staff of the team have unreserved support and trust in you. The only thing you have to do with me is to say your needs and problems, and we will do our best to solve them for you. ”

Hearing the old man's words full of sincerity, Li Mudi was very moved, because he didn't have much contact with the chairman, so he was very nervous and sweated a lot when he reported just now. But with the kind and sincere attitude and firm support that the old man has always given, Li Mudi, who is not good at getting along with strangers, slowly calmed down, told his plan, and handed in the first answer perfectly.

With the mentality that the soldier dies for his confidant, Li Mudi proposed the arrangement of the coaching staff and the possible future training plan of the players. Mr. Francisco carefully took note of each of them, and not only approved the proposal immediately, but also made sound suggestions for the team's medical and scouting aspects. There is no doubt that this meeting gave Limaudi a perfect start to his coaching career at Castile.

After the coach, team doctor and scouting staff were handed over to the club's top management and the parent team behind him, Li Muddy returned to his room in the coach's apartment, eager to scout and adjust the roster, which required the use of scouting tools.

The 2015-2016 season is scheduled for July 15, and the first round of La B will be played on August 30, so there is still a lot of time for the team to adjust and integrate. But Limdy's goal is to achieve a result that will always be looked up to by those who come after him, and the team's record and the development of future superstars are the best ways for him to prove his ability.

The question of results is the focus as the season progresses, and whether there is a new Raul, Cassie in this Castilla team, or even even Alvaro Morata with good potential and a good potential to qualify for the rotation at Real Madrid, combined with the original real-world situation, Li Mudi feels that there is very little hope.

Mayoral has been known as a talent in Europe for almost a season, but the truth is that he has done well at the Under-19s, but his goalscoring efficiency in the development squad at this time does not reflect the unique tradition of Real Madrid's academy. Raul's goalscoring record was impressive, and Javier García Portillo surpassed it, followed by Alberto Bueno and Soldado in Castile.

But apart from Mayoral Mayoral, Castile, who are known for their talent training base, can't find a second young player to live up to expectations. Of course, in reality, Diego Llorente, who has been on loan at Rayo Vallecano on loan this season, will show good quality in the 16-17 season, attracting the attention of many La Liga powerhouses. But for Li Mudi, these two people were loaned out before he arrived. And because the teams these two are on loan at a higher level than the second division B, even if Li Mudi is facing such an excellent training opportunity when the two are still in the team, he will definitely agree to let them go, after all, the impact of high-level games on the growth of young players is immeasurable.

Removing the players on loan for the time being, the potential of the players in the standing Castilla 26ers and the U19s is worth vigorously cultivating, which will be the number one issue for Li Muddy now.

In the more than 100 years of modern football history, the story of Bole and Maxima is not uncommon. Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo and other peerless talents were discovered when they were teenagers and stepped to the pinnacle of life step by step. But as described in the classic "Ma Shuo", Maxima often exists but Bole does not often have it. Being able to detect whether a teenager has great talent in the middle of a sea of people requires not only the care of Lady Luck, but also the professionalism of the scout or coach himself. The understanding of football techniques and tactics, the predictability of future development, and the ability to analyze the psychology of young people in the process of growth are all indispensable. In the FM Football Manager game, the abilities of "Bole" are summarized into two types: the ability to evaluate players and the potential of players. Scouts who can get high scores in both evaluation abilities at the same time can be said to be one in ten thousand, and they are rare. Even if Li Mudi has studied professional football knowledge in this world for nearly ten years, he does not have the ability to become a "Bole", so how can he determine the key training objects in the future in a short period of time? The answer is simple – scouting tools.

July's only chance to use it was used on the first day, and Li Mudi had a good reason to summon the system assistant before using it, and it was better to ask some questions in advance, saving him a valuable opportunity.

"Assistant, I'd like to ask about scouting tools."

Sure enough, he was on call, and the answer was immediately answered: "Hello, please ask questions, I will try my best to answer for you." ”

"How accurate are the abilities and potentials that the scouting tool finds?"

"The ability value is refreshed on a monthly basis, and it is 100% in line with the value at the end of the previous month; The potential value is divided into two categories: the potential value of players over 23 years old is fixed and 100% in line with it, while the potential value of players under 23 years old fluctuates and is refreshed in a three-month cycle, 95% of which is in line with the value of the previous period as of the end of the period, and the deviation value is up to 5 points. ”

"You mean the potential value will change too?"

"Yes, there is a certain chance that the potential of a player in this world will change slightly before the age of 22."

The first question surprised Li Mudi, this is different from the setting in the game! The game's ability value is instantaneous and may change every day. If this premise is acceptable, then the potential value completely changes the game's premise. The potential value in the original game is divided into fixed potential and floating potential, fixed diving is easy to understand, and snorkeling has a certain range, and each time the file is opened, it will produce different values in a range. However, no matter what kind of potential setting it is, its value will not change after the opening of the file. However, the potential of young players here can be changed, which means that they have the opportunity to go beyond the original real world, gain more ability and achieve more! This setting with uncertain factors has inspired Li Mudi to be more determined: he must cultivate his own football king and become a legend here! Certain!

After asking a few common sense questions and getting answers that there were no other surprises, Li Mudi made a list: 1. The ability and potential value of Castilla players; 2. The situation of Real Madrid's U19 players; 3. The value of Real Madrid's first-team players; 4. The ability of the players of other teams in Group 2 of the second division of the West B League; 5. Players under the age of 17 in the whole of Spanish football; 6. Players under the age of 19 in European football as a whole; 7. According to the analysis of the data identified in the first item, the search for the specified location is carried out in which positions are currently lacking in Castile; 8. If there is time left, see which other team has a large number of good seedlings to prepare for leaving Castile in the future.

After taking a deep breath, Li Mudi summoned the FM interface in his mind, ordered the system assistant to help him do a ten-minute countdown, and at the same time, clicked the scouting tool button below, and started the first experience of scouting tools.
