road to victory

Chapter 9 Youth Team

"You can call me Patrick from now on." Battiston lowered his head and thought for a while, then sighed, "Hey, the strength of this youth team is relatively average now, and there are no talents. The one running at the front, his name is Nico LS Nuno, a descendant of Algeria, his father used to play football in the club, the position is the midfielder, he runs more aggressively, his body has not yet opened, he is relatively thin, he is only 15 years old, He was promoted to U19 in an exception. Other strengths are similar, and there are no good seedlings."

While listening to Battiston's simple introduction, Fan Shang looked at the youngsters on the field, and the system in his mind was also running non-stop, "There are really no good seedlings, what Battiston said is right, at last The good thing is the youngest Nico LS Nuno, his best position is in the middle of the midfield, a central midfielder with a balanced offense and defense, his potential score is 67%, and his potential score as a defensive midfielder is 65%, and his current current The highest ability score is the midfielder position, which is only 59%. This score is already the highest in the team, and most of the others are between 50% and 55%. In the U19 echelon, the ability of these players is obviously low. Knowing that according to Fan Shang's observations when he was in the first team, most of their ability scores are above 65%, and Zidane, the highest, has a current ability score of 77%. Thinking of the first team and looking at the youth team, it is horrible. "Fan Shang is complaining in his heart now, "Why doesn't our youth team even have a future star? What about those Bordeaux elites in the future? Where is Diarra, where is Gourcuff, and where is Chamark... .." (Gurkufren youth training, Chamark was born in 84 and was only 1995 years old in 11, and Alaudiala was born in 81 and was 95 years old in 14)
Thinking of this, Fan Shang asked his own question, "Why don't we have good seedlings?"

"It's a long story, mainly because of two reasons, one is that we are located in the South West, where people prefer rugby to football (rugby, no helmet, hit the body...), so those athletic talents The better ones have all gone to play rugby." Battistone said slowly, "The second point is that good young players have gone to bigger clubs, or clubs with better results, let alone Monaco, Paris, There is also Auxerre, which has performed well in recent years. Our attractiveness is obviously not enough.”

"We won a lot of championships in the 80s," Fan Shang said, "how can you say it's not attractive?"

"That's all in the past. In recent years, the record has been mediocre, and," Battiston hesitated.
"And what? Is there a problem with the team?"

"Haven't you heard? Mr. Afleiroux is going to sell his club shares, so the expenses have been greatly reduced now." Battistone's voice was deliberately lowered.

"Well, I've heard about this, but we're sure we can't achieve results just by relying on these youngsters. We can keep the tie, but we have no hope of winning. Is there any free kick among them that is better? Or is it a header or a long shot? of?" Fan Shang looked at the players on the field and shook his head.

"It doesn't look like it currently, are you going to stabilize the defense without conceding the ball, and then break the deadlock with a set kick?" Bartiston quickly understood what Vincent meant.

"That's what I mean. Look at these players, there is no one who is extremely fast, and there is no one who has a particularly outstanding outlook and awareness. Nicholas may be able to make a transition, but the others obviously don't have the ability to kill with one blow in a counterattack." Function, I don’t think one hit, three hits, or five hits may not necessarily score one, so we can only make a fuss about free kicks and corner kicks.” Fan Shang spread his hands and said helplessly.

The voice of "Thinking" is not loud, and it is sparse

Fan Shang stood on the sidelines, his eyes slid over each player, scanning their best position potential score.No change, no change, still no change.I'm going, why is there another one that has dropped?What's going on?Let's read the whole situation first.Fan Shang looked at everyone and stood up in disappointment.

"Okay, let's gather first." Fan Shang said

"Beep..." Battiston blew his whistle a few times, "They're all here."

"Very good, now you guys have a group confrontation, Patrick, you know them better, assign them positions, you are still the host today, I will understand the situation by the side." Fan Shang turned his head to Battiston again

"Sir, what am I thinking about?"

"Hello everyone, I'm your head coach. My name is Fan Shang. You can call me boss, boss, boss, sir, whatever, but you can't call me by my name." Fan Shang began to introduce himself to the team members below. "I won't place too many restrictions on you. My requirements are: first, you can't be late for training; second, you can't leave the field without reason during training; third, the team must be united. If someone makes trouble in the team, the consequences will be very serious , Four, if you have any opinions, you can ask me, if there is a small action behind my back, my punishment will be very severe." After emphasizing the discipline of the team, we must not forget to give these little guys some hope, "I came down from the first team , I had a disagreement with the head coach of the first team, we had a fight, and he fired me, but I stood in front of you, and you all know the current league record of the first team, if he doesn't adjust his life, he really won't have many days I'm here. I came here to lead you to victory. After winning? I want to go back to where I came from. Do you want to come with me?"

And Fan Shang is now talking nonsense to these young men with carrots and sticks, and now he just wants to see if their potential ratings have changed.If there is improvement, then generals should be pulled out from the slump and focus on training.

When Fan Shang was using fmrte, he saw a post saying that the potential score of fmrte is not the same as the potential value, and it will also change.The score will change with the changes of injuries, influence, ambition and other values.Its potential score is not based on the attributes when the potential value is fully developed, but based on the player's injuries, influence, ambition and other values ​​​​to estimate his peak ability value. Although some players have high potential values, but His entire career has not reached the highest value of his potential, which is the impact of injuries, influence, ambition and other values ​​on him.

He reached out to stop Battiston from confronting, and said to the downgraded player, "Are you afraid of me?"

"No sir" replied the player
"Then why are you moving slowly and hesitating when everyone else is trying their best?"

"Don't you pursue it? Don't you want to play football in the field next to you? Don't you like football? Do you want to retire at the age of 20 and become a security guard or a construction worker?" Fan Shang's voice became more and more excited, "If you don't want to, just play well." Training, come up with good results, and follow me to that field for training! Do you think so?" Fan Shang pointed to the training field of the first team

"Ok, no problem"

"Think" the young players yelled

"What are you thinking? Can you share it?" Fan Shang asked curiously
"You just said that we retired at the age of 20 to be security guards and construction workers. I don't think it's right."

Fan Shang was a little excited, well, it seems that what I said has worked! "Then tell me what should be done?" Fan Shang was looking forward to his answer.

"I think we can still sell kebabs!" the player said affirmatively

Fan Shang was speechless, "God, what kind of people did you give me!"
