March 17, 2008, morning!

The weather in London is still cloudy and foggy, the forecast temperature is around zero, and the breeze mixed with the fog blows on the face, feeling wet and a little painful!

10:00 a.m.!

Newcastle FC's buses depart from Newcastle's Rigberton training base and carry the team's coaching staff and first-team stars to London!

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

Behind the bus, there has always been a huge convoy - Newcastle fans either drive private cars or charter buses, closely following the club's buses to form a mighty cheering army, dragging a long line on the road! The St George's Cross flag and Newcastle emblem flutter in the cold wind, like a heroic Knights' Cross!

The scale is huge!

Because, tonight will be the first game since Maniac Lee took charge of Newcastle!

Although it was away from home, in the statistics of the Newcastle Post the day before, there were still nearly 10,000 Newcastle fans who expressed their willingness to go to London with the team to cheer for the team! Fans are waiting for the invincible madman Lee to bring an exciting victory to the Magpies, who haven't tasted victory in a long time!

…… In the bus, the Newcastle players are watching the video - Tottenham Hotspur match footage!

Li Tongfan stood in front of the TV screen hanging at the front of the bus with a serious face, holding a white delicate whip in his hand, and explained in detail as the picture paused and the numbers were analyzed............ Tottenham boss Martin Joel prefers a 4-4-2 formation and has a particular penchant for fast strikers and wing-backs...... According to the statistics, in the 28 Premier League games that Tottenham have ended this season, although the Irishman Robbie Keane and Bulgarian striker Berbatov have started 78.5 per cent, the man has had more chances in the last six consecutive games......

Li Tongfan recalled the starting list of Tottenham Hotspur in the FM2008 system deduction, and began to analyze it in a deceptive manner...... The game screen on the TV screen switches to the Tottenham striker wearing the number 23 white jersey!

“…… Darren Bent, Martin Joel's new favourite, has been a consistent player in the last six league games, scoring five goals, and I guess Berbatov's partner will be this guy in tonight's game! ”

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

They found that the madman Lee seemed to be very keen on data!

After three days of contact, the head coach who is so popular in England will be very skilled in listing a lot of data when he opens and closes his mouth. Anything will be represented by him in the simplest Arabic numerals, such as the current evaluation of Darren Bent - "...... The 23-year-old striker is quick and runs well off the ball, but his finishing and dribbling skills are not the highest, and his shot success rate drops to less than 18.6 per cent with close interference from defenders, a quarter of his uninterrupted .......

Li Tongfan pointed to the highlights of Darren Bent's shooting on the video screen, and explained his tactical arrangement: "So, Steven, your task today is to stick to him like a kraft candy and not give him any space to shoot with his feet, can you do it?" ”

Steven Taylor!

The young central defender, who was designated by Lao Li Nei as the captain of Newcastle for the next 10 years, is a white guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes who is 1.88 meters tall, and his muscles are full of strength and oppression! Although I am only 22 years old this year, I feel very stable! After hearing the boss's arrangement, the young man nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry, boss, I will let him not even find a chance to breathe!" ”

Li Tongfan smiled with satisfaction and continued to analyze!

“…… Tottenham's winger Aaron Lennon is the darling of White Hart Lane, with fast speed and good technique, and his ability to cross from the bottom is top-notch, but Lennon's breakthrough is very regular, with an 89.5% chance of taking the outside line with his right foot when he is on the right side, and a 74.5% chance of cutting inside and crossing on the left side, so I think you should know how to defend him, right? ”

“…… Captain Ledley King, habitual moves when defending...... But it's about the speed of turning and the awareness of the first landing point......"

“…… Goalkeeper Paul Robinson's saving habits are...... The comparison of the data of high ball saves and boccia ball is ...... I advise strikers to choose ...... when shooting"

…… For a whole hour, Li Tongfan was seriously explaining the technical characteristics and personal playing habits of Tottenham Hotspur's starters! With such a digital tactical set-up, the advice given looks almost flawless to the players at Newcastle!

Even assistant coach Alan Shearer and the rest of the coaching staff listened with relish!

For the first time, everyone discovered that the tactical arrangement of the original football match could be broken down in such clarity and detail with Arabic numerals. Although many football coaches have only tried to analyze data before, it is difficult to be so detailed and accurate...... It's hard to imagine how much hard work this crazy man named Lee, known as the madman, did to collect information, organize the data, and then make the most accurate analysis behind these huge numbers...... No wonder the madman Lee was called "God on the sidelines of the football field]!

No wonder he can lead Real Madrid and England to the national team...... Such a man who devotes all his experience to football is simply unreasonable if he does not succeed!

At this moment, the Magpies' stars finally began to respect Li Tongfan from the bottom of their hearts...... Instead of choosing to obey only because of Lao Li's fame and prestige like the other day!

If you want to gain the genuine 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 human relationships!

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

“…… Each of you will have two pieces of material in your hand, the first is the analysis of every Tottenham player you are likely to encounter on the White Hart Lane pitch tonight, and I ask you to memorize this information before the game, it will help you make the best choice in attack or defense of the game......"

In the eyes of the Newcastle coaching staff and stars looking at themselves like gods, Li Tongfan tried his best to suppress the pride after his vanity was satisfied, and at the same time pretended to be a breezy and indifferent master, and distributed the information in his hands to the players one by one!

“…… As for the second piece of information, I think it will help you even more! It will tell you what are the shortcomings and blind spots in your own technical movements and habitual playing styles that you are not aware of, and propose the most scientific ways to improve them......"

Li Tongfan finally couldn't help but smile proudly in the surprised expression of a carload of people whose mouths were open enough to stuff a big duck egg: "Believe me, all this is the result of the most reasonable data analysis of your performance in the past hundred games...... Oh, and of course, you can choose to ignore this advice, as long as you are confident that you can perform better on the court, I will not have any ...... opinion."

The players who got the materials began to read carefully with their heads down, and after less than ten minutes, Hula Lala all raised their heads and looked at the man who had already sat in the front row with his eyes closed and began to rest...... Newcastle's stars are all "old rivers and lakes", and after seeing the materials given by Lao Li, they can recall their usual performance and habits, and they can completely determine the practical surnames of the information given to them by the boss without experimenting...... It's all true!

Incredibly accurate!!

Hit the nail on the head!!!

This kind of thing is simply like the magic spells of Harry Potter in legendary myths, if there is such a material when their technical movements have not yet been finalized, it is estimated that everyone will have a more brilliant career after training according to this advice...... Of course, it's not too late, the hammers look at each other a few times, their faces full of excitement!

In the bus, the atmosphere that had been a little low and dull suddenly became lively and high...... Such a change can be felt by Li Tongfan sitting in the front row seat with his eyes closed!

The stuffy man's heart is full of triumph like a successful trick!

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

FM system will be wrong?

The first material for Tottenham Hotspur players can greatly improve Newcastle's win rate against Tottenham Hotspur away from home, allowing the hammers to find the confidence in the game!

The second profile of Newcastle players is even more useful, not only to convince people, but also to help Lee explain why "modified" players such as Michael Owen, Steven Taylor, and Alan Smith have suddenly become unstoppable...... When others ask, they say that they are the result of training according to the "secret tips"!

And the price of obtaining these materials is nothing more than the number of free queries of the system database worth 2 character points by Li Tongfan twice!

It's worth it!

Let everything speak with data, this is the latest stuffy idea that Li Tongfan came up with!

This idea can help Lao Li perfectly explain some miracle things - such as the probability of Real Madrid's winning season, such as the reasons for the sudden outburst of certain players, such as the basis for his invincible substitutions in the game, such as the middle finger threat theory that was provoked by pretending to be forced a few times...... The new [data query] function added after the expansion of the FM system database is simply a tailor-made shield for a stuffy man like Li Tongfan who loves to pretend to be cool!

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

Newcastle arrives at the 'Green Jam' hotel near White Hart Lane, where you will spend an hour on acclimatisation...... Then, Lao Li will lead one or two first-team players to the pre-match press conference, as is customary in the Premier League!

Then, in Li Tongfan's plan, the Magpie Army should reap the victory!
