Valentina was already waiting downstairs.

They are going to SI's branch in Milan, where a senior executive from the headquarters will come to meet with Pan Yi and listen to Pan Yi's opinions on the game.

Seeing Pan Yi hurriedly coming out of the door of the apartment, Valentina also pouted: "Hmph, didn't you say that the people of the Dragon Kingdom are more punctual than us Italians?" ”

Pan Yi smiled and said, "Didn't you make an appointment to arrive before 3 o'clock in the afternoon?" As long as that time comes, it is still punctual. ”

Valentina snorted, "Then don't you count the appointment with me?" If I go on a date in the future......"

"What?" Pan Yi didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Valentina's face flushed slightly, "You're late anyway." Don't think I'll forgive you if you help me get the Messi jersey, huh! ”

"Okay, okay, it's a big deal to invite you to dinner tonight, and it's okay to make amends, right?" Pan Yi showed a treacherous smile, "It's still that noodle restaurant, how about giving me another nostril spray noodle show?" ”

Valentina: "......"

SI's Milan branch is located about ten kilometers away from Pan Yi's apartment, so the two called a taxi to get there.

The taxi driver was a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.

As soon as the two of them got into the car, he kept looking behind him through the rearview mirror.

Is it because a handsome combination of men and women like Pan Yi and Valentina is particularly eye-catching?

Pan Yizheng muttered in his heart, but the old driver couldn't help but speak:

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, are you Pan Yi?"

Actually a fan who knows himself?

But before Pan Yi could reply, Valentina, who was sitting on the side, replied first: "No! He's a little bastard of the Dragon Kingdom! ”

The old driver showed a slight look of disappointment on his face and said:

"I'm sorry, I think all East Asians look the same...... So I recognized you as Pan Yi. ”

At this time, Pan Yi smiled and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I am indeed Pan Yi." ”

In this way, the old driver's eyes suddenly lit up: "Really? Is it really Pan Yi? Our assistant coach in Milan? ”

"Yes." Pan Yi nodded, but Valentina snorted again and said don't look over: "Great, even the taxi driver knows you now, so play a big name in front of me!" ”

But this sentence is tantamount to admitting that Pan Yi is the coach that the old driver knows.

The old driver's tone immediately became excited: "My God, you are really Coach Pan Yi!" I was talking to a couple of my old buddies about you. Since you came to Milan, our whole tactical system has changed dramatically......"

The old driver chattered, and Pan Yi didn't interject, just listened quietly.

But in his heart, in fact, he began to set off a wave of not big or small.

A few months ago, how could Pan Yi have imagined that he could go from a little transparent that no one knew to a well-known figure that even taxi drivers were familiar with?

And he didn't do it through a role like a player, a manager, who often showed up.

An assistant coach is often not very well-known, even at a big club like AC Milan – unless you were famous before you became an assistant coach, such as Thierry Henry or Zinedine Zidane.

For example, ask you right now, the home team you support, or any team like Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid...... These big teams, who are their assistant coaches and what they look like, can you answer them immediately if you don't look them up?

Not to mention those small and medium-sized clubs, maybe they don't even know the head coach.

Although in Italy, in Milan, local fans will certainly be more familiar with their home team, but as an assistant coach, it is not easy to be recognized by passers-by.

This shows even more how successful Pan Yi's work has been in recent times.

This also makes Pan Yi's heart not only feel a sense of satisfaction of becoming famous, but also a sense of pride.

……

The SI branch arrived soon.

The old driver happily asked Pan Yi for a group photo and autograph, and then he didn't want the car money, so he just slammed the accelerator and left, leaving only one sentence:

"This is my tribute to you as a long-time Milan fan!"

Pan Yi shook his head helplessly and pulled Valentina into the building.

The SI branch rented an office on the first floor, and the interior decoration is similar to that of a normal IT company.

The one who came to receive Pan Yi and the two was an executive named Jack.

He didn't have too many polite words, and when Pan Yi sat down, he pushed the open notebook in his hand in front of Pan Yi:

"Our company will officially launch FM2012 around the 20th of this month, which is the numerical information of some of the main players in the current database. We've just adjusted the numbers of these Milan players, do you think they're still in line with reality? ”

Pan Yi looked at the laptop screen.

It was a table with a lot of information about the players, including specific stats like shots, passes, dribbles, ......

There is also a lot of hidden information, such as Ibrahimovic in the first row of this tab in Milan, his ambition 20, loyalty 5, and argument 18......

And his current ability is 173, his potential is 185, a proper world-class star, Milan thigh.

(Note: In FM games, the full value of each item is 20, and the total value is 200.) ）

Pan Yi looked at several players who had been specially colored.

These are the players that Milan just brought in this year, so that SI can't make up their minds.

"Salah, current capacity 128, potential capacity 155."

"Mane, current capacity 135, potential capacity 166."

"Kante, current ability 132, potential capacity 153."

"Van Dijk, current ability 144, potential capacity 170."

"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, current ability 126, potential ability 145."

(Note: For young players, FM games will also give random values for potential abilities, but here for the sake of more intuitiveness, these will not be used)

Pan Yi pointed to the screen and said to Jack: "I won't talk about the current ability or specific values of these players of mine, you can adjust the actual game situation in the future." But the potential capacity is definitely low. ”

Jack was slightly surprised: "It's all low? Van Dijk we've all given 170......"

"It's too low." Pan Yi shook his head, and then said categorically, "At least give more than 180." ”

In Pan Yi's previous life, by the time of FM2022, most of these players did have a potential ability above 180, and they all finally realized their potential.

Among them, Aubameyang and Kante are slightly lower, about 170, but Pan Yi doesn't bother to distinguish so much, anyway, it can't be 140, 150.

But for Jack, it is indeed a bit difficult to give so many young players more than 180 potential abilities at once.

You know, this means that they can all become stars of Ibrahimovic's level in the future!

There aren't many of them in the whole game.

Just when Jack felt that Pan Yi was a little unobjective "calf protector", Pan Yi pointed to the screen and said:

"This one is high. 150 is almost. ”
