Chapter 352 LaiHu
A middle-aged man walked to a desk and knocked on the workstation baffle.
"Hey, Matt, the boss asked you if you have made the analysis video of the last game?"
A young man with messy blond hair was busy in front of the monitor. He looked away from the computer monitor, glanced at the middle-aged man next to him, and then returned his gaze: "Immediately, you can start rendering immediately. .”
"Wow, Matt, why are the dark circles under your eyes getting worse?" 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 blond young man said and yawned.
"I said you worked too hard to complete the tasks given by your boss, right?"
"No, no...it won't take long to analyze the video." The young man waved his hand.
"Then why did you go? Did you get a girlfriend recently?" The middle-aged man had a gossipy look on his face.
The young man's eyelids were almost glued together: "CGF (abbreviation for "Champion Godfather") is my Girlfriend. I played with her almost all night yesterday."
The middle-aged man gave him a thumbs up: "Salute to you, young man, I can't stay up that long for "The Godfather of Champions" now."
"You know, Harry. Playing "The Godfather" is also part of my job." The young man yawned again, tears squeezed out of the corners 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 disturb you anymore. Just hurry up. The boss will need 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 Downe, a video analyst at English Championship side Hammond Castle, is twenty-six and single.
He is working hard to complete the tasks assigned to him by the team's head coach Tony Clark.
He needs to divide the last Hammond Castle game into separate clips for each player, then combine it with his analysis of the performance of these players in the game to make a video, and finally edit it together to make a video of about twenty minute video clip.
This short video will be given to head coach Tony Clark, who will play this video in the tactical meeting of the coaching staff, and will also show it to the players to tell them what they deserve for their performance in the last game. Where there is nothing to criticize.
This video will be an important reference for the coaching staff to make tactics for the next game, and it will also be the basis for the coaching staff to formulate the players' training plan for the new week.
In short, although video data analysts will not appear on the coaching bench during games, nor will they be taken care of by television broadcasts, and no media or fans will care about them, this position is increasingly important to the team's head coach. more important.
He has been working as a video analyst for this club for three years. This job was not easy to do at first. He needed to watch the game video multiple times and pause frequently to record his analysis ideas. The written record alone fills many pages.
After summarizing, the video editing and production process begins.
Now he is very familiar with doing all this. He will pay attention to the performance of each player when watching the live broadcast of the game, and prepare a recorder to record all the situations he observes and the results of his thoughts.
When he starts making videos after the game, he can save a lot of time watching the game videos over and over again, and he can also save time taking notes with a pen and just refer to his own recordings.
This greatly improved his work efficiency.
Most of the work time is actually just spent on video editing and production, which is much faster than before.
Not long after his colleagues left, he finished the video and pressed output.
The next step is for the computer to automatically render and generate the video, 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 further shortened, or even greatly shortened.
But Hammond Castle is not the kind of club with deep pockets. It is impossible to equip a video analyst with the most advanced video workstation just to speed up video rendering by a few minutes.
Besides, Matt Dawn himself didn't feel the need to spend so much money on upgrading his computer to speed up the video output. Wouldn't he use the ten minutes to half an hour to do other things?
For example, right now, during this waiting period, Matt Dawn picked up his phone and planned to browse the popular community to see if there were any interesting posts.
He quickly browsed the titles of posts in the community. If he was interested in the title, he would click on it to see the specific content.
If you are not interested, just quickly swipe through and click to the next page.
He reads quickly, occasionally clicking into the title to quickly browse the content, then exiting and continuing to scroll down.
In this way, he quickly browsed five or six pages of the forum until a title popped out.
"I solemnly recommend a Chinese super genius to everyone!"
This is a very common title. There are countless posts with similar titles in the community every day. They just change the name of the country.
But it caught Matt Dawn's attention and let his finger hover over the post.
Because it was the first time he saw the name "China" appearing in a title like this.
Do Chinese people actually have football geniuses?
Or a super genius?
"Interesting..." Matt Dawn muttered, then clicked in.

"...The above is my entire introduction to LaiHu. I hope you don't get hung up on his specific attribute values. Believe me, that means nothing to LaiHu. When you coach him personally, you will find that he His performance far exceeds the data calibrated for him by the game... I am willing to put LaiHu calls it a small easter egg in the latest update package v23.2.5 of this game. He is waiting silently to be discovered, just like a rough diamond buried deep underground, waiting until it sees the light of day. For a moment, there will definitely be a dazzling starlight in the sun..."
Matt Dawn read the entire post.
This post was posted eight hours ago, but it only has over a hundred views and two replies.
It can be seen that although this author works very hard to recommend his favorite player to everyone, the effect does not seem to be very good, and no one cares about his recommendation.
A new ID, the first post, in a popular community, such a person and such a post means that there is no credibility at all, basically no one will believe what he said in this post.
One of the only two replies expressed doubts and sarcasm: "From your description, I thought this was a Maverick with a potential value of -8 or above. I also went to the game to check it using the scouting tool. You said this person's potential value, and found out that it was a fixed potential of 125... I don't know much about Chinese players, but it is obvious that this potential is not worthy of your exaggerated descriptions..."
The second reply was the poster's reply to this reply: "...I spent so much time in this post to remind you not to pay too much attention to those numbers, but I didn't expect that you would still use the scouting tool to look at the players right from the start. Potential value, without the scouting tool you don't know how to play the game, right? Is it important whether the potential is -8 or solid potential? I always say actual performance, actual performance, actual performance...I hope You can recognize these words and understand their meaning. The game data is based on the data reported by the investigators and the comprehensive consideration of the game company. It cannot 100% reflect a player's actual ability in reality. And how many monsters with -10 in the game over the years have finally disappeared from everyone? This post is to recommend a talented player with a very high cost performance, not to compare numbers with others. You and I are not the same type of players, so don’t talk nonsense here.”
Potential value is an important data in the game "The Godfather of Champions". This data will not be displayed directly in the game. Players need to use some additional plug-ins, such as "Scouting Tools" to see it.
This value represents the game's determination of the player's future ability limit.
The full value is 200, but few people can reach it. The game uses another way to express the potential value of young players with great potential: -10.
The negative sign means that the player's potential value is random, and the number that follows represents the random value range of the player's potential value.
For example, -10 means that the player's potential value in the game is a minimum of 170 and a maximum of 200. Randomly floating within this range, the player may get a player with a completely different potential value every time he opens the game.
Young players who can reach -10 potential are top talents.
For example, the most popular young player in the past two years, Argentina's "Young Eagle" Mery Banega, was only fifteen years old when he first appeared in the game. At that time, the potential value given by the game was already -9 , which means his specific potential value will be between 150 and 180.
The next year, when he turned sixteen, his potential value in the game became -10, which fully demonstrated the optimism for this "young eagle".
Of course, Mery Banega has not lived up to the game's praise for him. Now he is considered the best successor to Louis Francis in the Spanish giants Madrid Kings - not a successor in the court position. Rather, he is the successor to the team's status - he will take over the banner of leading the Kings to greater glory from the legendary star.
Nowadays, he no longer needs to use random data to express his potential value. In the latest "Godfather of Champions" game, his potential value is fixed at 197, which is the player with the highest potential value among all active players. From a game perspective, it is true to say that he is the strongest among the young generation in today's football.
As for the -8 potential value mentioned in the post, it means that the specific potential value fluctuates between 130-160. If he is lucky, his potential value of 160 will be reached at the beginning of the game, and it will be fully realized. He will be a player who can play the main role in a European giant team.
Fixed potential refers to fixed potential. If a young player has fixed potential, it means that the player is recognized as strong and does not need to rely on random potential to express the uncertainty of his future growth, just like Meli Bane. Plus, the potential value is fixed at 197, telling all players that this is a young genius who will definitely grow into the number one player in the world.
Or it means that the game is not optimistic about the future growth of this player, and the player's room for growth is limited. No matter how hard he trains and trains for games, that's it.
Hu Lai's current fixed potential of 125 is actually not bad in Chinese football. You must know that if all his potential of 125 can be turned into current ability value, then the ability value of 125 will be at the level of the Chinese national team, and he can be 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 what the two people are fighting about at a glance.
The poster said that the player named "LaiHu" is a typical low-scoring, high-energy, very useful player, while the person who replied to him thought that this player has too low potential and is not worthy of attention.
After watching such a debate, Matt Dawn became more interested in the "LaiHu" mentioned by the poster. Whether it is really low-scoring and high-energy, or the potential is too low to be worth mentioning, you still have to verify it yourself. Know.
So he put down his mobile phone, picked up the tablet on his desk, opened the mobile version of "The Godfather of Champions 2023", created a new file, and specifically added Chinese teams and players to the database selection.
After opening the game, he directly used the nuclear weapon modifier to transfer the player named "LaiHu" to the English League One team Albock he coached.
Only then did he start looking closely at the player's statistics.
In terms of technical attributes, passing 6, crossing 3, marking 1, penalty kick 9, technique 5, corner kick 2, throw-in 1, dribbling 4, stealing 1, free kick 2, shooting 9, stopping the ball 10, header 8 balls, 4 long shots.
In terms of mental attributes, defensive positioning is 5, work input is 6, concentration is 8, decisiveness is 15, leadership is 5, aggression is 6, vision is 6, teamwork is 11, running without the ball is 13, imagination is 7, willpower is 8, and bravery is 6 , Prejudgment 7, Calmness 10.
Physical attributes: explosive power 8, jumping 9, agility 9, endurance 12, balance 8, strength 10, speed 8, and constitution 13. (Note 1)
Emmmmm……
Seeing such data, Matt Dawn had the expression of "an old man on the subway looking at his phone."
He read the post and said that this player was a player in the second-tier league in China. He also considered the fact that the level of Chinese football itself was not high, so he chose to coach a team in the third-tier league in England to test this player. ability.
But looking at it now, this data may not even be able to play the main role in the mid-range teams in English League One.
Matt Dawn felt that he was wasting his time, and he actually thought that there were any talented players worth paying attention to in China.
Just when he was about to close the archive, he noticed the highest attribute in Hu Lai's data:
Decision, 15.
Matt Dawn, a veteran "Godfather of Champions" player and senior "Godfather of Champions" data researcher, knows very well the meaning and importance of this attribute.
The values of this person's other attributes are very low, but his decision-making is ridiculously high. Compared with his other attributes, he is completely different.
He began to believe that the poster said that this player had low scores and high energy.
After all, it has a decision of up to 15...
Thinking of this, Matt Dawn changed his mind about turning off the game and decided to continue playing.
He began to adjust the team's lineup and design targeted training content for the Chinese player.
Then continue to play, continue to play, continue to play... just go on and on, trying to see if the Chinese player named "LaiHu" can survive in a team in the middle and lower reaches of English League One.
During this period, his colleague Harry Speed came again and asked him for a video. After copying the video to a USB flash drive and giving it to him, he continued to sit at his workstation and play games.
Harry knew that for Matt, playing the game "The Godfather of Champions" was indeed a way of working, so he did not disturb him, took the USB flash drive and left quietly.
Matt Dawn continues to play his game.
In the pre-season warm-up match, Matt tried to give LaiHu a chance to start, but the player performed very poorly, with a post-game rating of only 5.4.
Later, after the league officially started, Matt gave the player another chance to start, but his performance still did not improve. Once he was knocked to the ground in the penalty area, and the referee made no comment, thinking that it was not a foul.
Based on Matt's understanding of the English League style and the player's strength of only 10, he, the head coach, actually felt that the referee made a correct decision...
In the next two months of game time, Matt gave LaiHu several opportunities to come on as a substitute, but the player's performance was hardly good.
The only thing that can comfort Matt, or support him from ending the game, is that in the more than four months since he transferred here, the Chinese player has grown relatively quickly. His shooting has been increased to 12, stoppage is 13, heading is 10, concentration is 10, and decision-making has also been increased a little, becoming 16. In addition, physical fitness has also increased accordingly.
Now that this young player is improving so quickly, Matt can't help but look forward to what he can do for himself.
Finally, three months after the league started, Matt started LaiHu again.
This time, LaiHu 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.
LaiHu finally scored. It took him nearly five months to adapt to the English League One, and then he scored his first goal. Although it was a missed shot, it was a goal.
What's next?
Matt Dawn continues to play.
That missed goal was like turning on some kind of mode switch for LaiHu. In the following games, LaiHu scored consecutive goals and couldn't stop them.
During the lunch break, Matt had something to eat in the team restaurant. While eating, he held the tablet and played happily without paying any attention to what he ate.
He doesn't have to stay at the training base in the afternoon and can go home.
So he packed up his things and left the training base holding his tablet and playing games. When someone greeted him on the street, he simply responded, with his eyes and mind 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 to his house and walked in.
After briefly greeting his parents, he carried the tablet upstairs, returned to his room, and continued playing while lying on the bed.
At dinner time, his mother called him downstairs, and he came down with his tablet to play while eating. His parents knew his job, and although they were a little surprised by this scene, they didn't ask any more questions.
After eating, he lowered his head and went upstairs while playing. Then he locked himself in the bedroom and continued playing.
The tablet in the middle was out of power, so he took out the charger, plugged it in and continued playing while charging.
※※※
When Matt came back to his senses from the game, he realized that it was already four o'clock in the morning...
"What the hell! What have I done!" Matt stared at the tablet, inserted his hands into his hair, and scratched his head.
The game screen was still on the screen of the tablet, and it was no longer the one he originally turned on.
In the middle of playing, he had a new idea, so he started a new gear. This time he chose to coach Hammond Castle, the English Championship team he currently works for, but he did not use nuclear weapons to directly modify LaiHu into his team, but chose a normal transfer operation.
How can a player from a second-tier league team in England be rejected when he offers an olive branch to a player who plays for a team in the second-tier league in China?
He quickly completed the transfer deal and spent one million pounds to recruit the 19-year-old young forward from AnDongShanXing.
But after all the contracts were finalized, he was stuck on the labor certificate. In the end, he had to choose to sign LaiHu and then loan him out.
But after two years of playing time, LaiHu still failed to obtain a labor certificate. Matt had no patience to wait any longer, so he had to use nuclear weapons to give the player a second nationality of the United Kingdom, so that he would not be subject to the restrictions of a labor certificate.
At the same time, LaiHu, who spent two seasons on loan outside, has made great progress since returning to Hammond Castle.
It was better than the attributes he had trained for four months in his first save.
LaiHu, who returned to Hammond Castle, burst out with strong offensive power in the first game. He scored twice to help the team win, and what followed was another goal-scoring spurt that couldn't stop the car.
In his first season at Hammond Castle, LaiHu scored 27 goals in the league, ranking second in the league's scorer list with only a two-goal disadvantage. With the help of his goals, Hammond Castle made a breakthrough in the English Championship and won promotion. In the new season, they became a Premier League team!
In fact, Matt planned to save the game and sleep after finishing the season. Who would have thought that he would be successfully promoted in the end and become a Premier League team. After becoming a Premier League team, Matt would play in the Premier League in the new season. Matt was even more curious - with LaiHu's ability, he was in the Premier League. What can the Premier League do?
So he played again.
In his first season in the Premier League, LaiHu didn't seem to be very adaptable to this faster-paced game, and his performance was mediocre, scoring only eleven goals in one season.
Matt was not satisfied with the result and continued playing. In the second season, LaiHu's performance was obviously much better. He scored a total of 25 goals in all competitions. This data is already very good. Even if he is not the world's top forward, he can be regarded as first-class in the Premier League. .
With the help of his goals one after another, Hammond Castle also qualified for the Europa League.
Just when Matt wanted to continue playing, he glanced at the time on his phone and realized that it was already four in the morning...
No, I can’t play anymore, otherwise I will definitely fall asleep at the training base tomorrow...
Matt Dawn gritted his teeth and filed the file, then pulled the tablet off the charging cable and put it on the desk.
He returned to bed himself and lay down to sleep.
At this time, he remembered what the poster wrote in that post:
"...As long as you play patiently, believe me, you will find a very strange phenomenon - he is obviously a very ordinary player in terms of statistics, even a little bit bad, but why can he score goals? His performance on the field It is seriously inconsistent with his data..."
This is probably what the poster was saying to attract people. Of course, Matt knows the reason behind this. This is not an unsolved mystery. As a character in the game, everything he does must follow the rules of the game. The reason why he is like this If you can score a goal, it must be based on the rules set by the game.
LaiHu's decision-making is very high, his concentration is also very good, and his movement without the ball and teamwork have improved rapidly.
These four important attributes determine that he can always appear in the right position and make the right choices during the game.
With this premise, even if his shooting value is 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 talent is those mental attributes he just mentioned.
It’s really interesting that a nineteen-year-old young man who lives thousands of miles away in the mysterious East possesses such spiritual attributes...
Those were Matt Dawn's last thoughts before falling into a deep sleep.

Note 1: I used FM’s Editor to directly make a Hu Lai, and set it according to these data, but because I don’t have time to play, I don’t know how this Hu Lai will perform in the game. Is it really like Zhang Zihao? Or as Matt Dawn plays it.
If anyone is interested and has time, you can make a fool of yourself based on this data and put it into the game to see how it goes...
In addition, I previously made a game database for FM2019, which contains original characters from all my previous novels.
But this is the database of FM2019. I don’t know if it supports the latest FM2020.
Why not make one for FM2020? Because there is no time.
It took me several days to do this...
If the FM2019 database can be compatible with other versions of FM, consider putting it up for everyone to play.
It's mainly a compatibility issue, I don't know if it will work...
PS2: I found that someone misunderstood the first two chapters. Hu Lai and his teammates made a bet that the amateur team would be drawn in the FA Cup, and then they would shine their shoes to celebrate in the next game, not the match against the amateur team. The next game after the draw is the Chinese League One, away game against the Eagles, and the FA Cup match against the amateur team will not be played until July 5th.
So the shoe shine game was not with an amateur team from the beginning.
I'd better go ahead and patch it up...(End of Chapter)
