Chapter 51 Early preparation for the 2018 World Cup
"De Sciglio, current ability is 118, potential ability is 180."
Jack frowned slightly as he looked at the line of words on the screen.
De Sciglio is only 18 years old this year and has already become the main force in a giant like AC Milan. Therefore, the data department feels that his potential is greater than others, so it gave a high value of 180.
But unexpectedly, the coach Pan Yi disagreed?
"150...isn't it too low?" Jack hesitated.
"It's not low anymore." Pan Yi looked back at De Sciglio's specific values and said, "Otherwise, you can increase his potential ability, such as around 160, but lower his hidden attributes. In addition, I just said
The main hidden attributes of those 180 ones mentioned above should be high, so that they are in line with reality."
Hidden attributes actually represent a person's mental outlook and his response when facing various temptations, difficulties, and challenges.
Although it is not directly displayed in the game, it can greatly affect a player's development and performance-sometimes it is more important than ordinary attributes.
For example, if professionalism is too low, players will not concentrate on training and their growth will of course be slower.
Another example is the performance in the competition. If it is too low, you can wait for him to fall off in some key games.
Why can Ibrahimovic become the leader of the locker room? It is also related to his mental attribute: influence.
But he also has a high argument value, so if he doesn't accept you, you'll be in trouble...
All in all, in reality, the stars that can eventually be played are often players with high potential and good mental attributes, which is what Salah and Mane are like.
They may have experienced certain twists and turns before they grew up in their previous lives, but in this life Pan Yi takes them directly under his command and guides them with the tactics and playing methods that are most suitable for them. Then they will progress rapidly and become stars. After all, some good players took detours because they did not encounter the best guidance in the early stages.
For example, if Vardy had been coached by the best coach in the world when he was 20 years old or younger, he probably wouldn't have had to wait until later to break out.
Just like when you play FM2022, if you apply the patch for the 11-12 season and buy young Salahs, they will also be able to practice faster than in reality.
On the contrary, some people are extremely talented (high potential ability), but they are obsessed with the colorful world all day long. If you change it to the values in the game, they have low professionalism, low ambition, and even low ability to withstand stress.
Such a player can only end up hurting Zhongyong in the end.
After listening to Pan Yi's words, Jack also nodded slightly.
Although he still had some doubts about the specific values that Pan Yi said, he could see that Pan Yi had a deep understanding of the FM game, otherwise he would not be able to explain it in detail.
"In this way, I will report your suggestions to the headquarters, and then..."
As Jack said this, he saw that Pan Yi had already clicked the mouse and flipped the table on the computer to another tab.
On this page are all the young players considered to have the most potential in the game.
"This Brazilian Dabio can't play well, but your potential ability has also been increased."
"Ganso's potential of 180? It's too high, too high. Neymar on the same team is okay. Ganso, if you give him 150, you're worthy of him."
"Kadlec in the Czech Republic is not good either. How dare you give such a high potential?"
"Ramsey has the top potential...forget it, it's okay. It would be more accurate if it was lower."
"Ah, Son Heung-min is pretty good, pretty accurate, no need to change..."
Pan Yi commented while watching.
These are all players that he used very well when playing FM games in his previous life, but many of them failed to reach the heights in the game in reality.
Now that I have seen their data, I can’t help but comment on it.
Jack stared at Pan Yi dumbfounded, and even Valentina on the side gently poked Pan Yi:
"They only ask you to watch Milan players. How can you know so much about these Brazilian and Czech players? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Pan Yi shrugged his shoulders: "I'm a professional coach. If you don't believe what I say, I'll knock you down. But don't forget, how did I bring Salah and the others back to Milan..."
Jack was stunned for a moment, then started thinking again.
Indeed, when it comes to looking at players, no matter how professional their data analysts are, can they be as professional as the already famous professional coach in front of them?
The use of unknown young players this season has already proven that Pan Yi has a sharp eye.
Finally, Jack gritted his teeth: "Okay, Coach Pan Yi, I have written down all your suggestions, and I will try to update them to the latest version!"
Pan Yi also smiled and patted Jack's shoulder: "Okay, I appreciate you very much. Time will prove to you and me that today's adjustments are correct..."
……
During the international match day, the biggest news for Pan Yi was that the national football team lost 0:1 to Iraq at home.
Although he had already been unhappy once in his previous life, looking at it now, Pan Yi still feels a little uncomfortable.
This is the group preliminary round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
As the seed team, the national football team’s group opponents are Iraq, Jordan and Singapore.
Relatively speaking, the Iraqi team is more difficult to deal with, but because the top two teams in the group can qualify, and the Jordan team has never defeated the national football team before, and the Singapore team is recognized as an underdog, it seems that the national football team has a smooth path to qualify.
But in the first home game against Singapore, the national football team almost fell.
The opponent scored the first goal, and the national football team got a penalty kick, but it was missed. Then the referee awarded another penalty kick to the national football team, and finally scored. The Singapore head coach was so excited when he saw the referee being so partial that he was also sent off.
With everyone in the stands, the national football team won the first game with difficulty 2-1.
In the second round, they played away against Jordan. Since their opponent defeated Iraq in the first round, this became a key battle.
As a result, Li Weifeng made a low-level mistake and gave the opponent a goal. In the end, the national football team lost 1-2 to the opponent. This was also the first time in the team's history that it lost to Jordan.
Therefore, the home game against Iraq on October 11 became a life and death battle, but in the end they lost. The goal of old rival Younis allowed Iraq to take three points.
At this time, the national football team is basically on the verge of being eliminated.
Pan Yi knows that when the national football team faces Iraq again in an away game, they will still lose, with only 3 points in four games, and will eventually be eliminated in shame as third in the group.
Frankly speaking, as a seeded team, the top two teams in the group can qualify, and the opponents are only three teams: Iraq, Jordan, and Singapore. To be able to play like this can only be said to be self-inflicted.
It's only 2011, and the national football team is already preparing for the 2018 World Cup...
So Pan Yi doesn't want to take this matter too much to heart, after all, it will affect his mood.
Fortunately, when the league war was reignited, AC Milan's continued rapid progress still gave Pan Yi a lot of comfort.
First, they faced the challenge of Palermo at home and defeated their opponent 3:0.
The players from all over the world who returned to the club are in good condition, with Ibrahimovic, Silva and Salah each scoring a goal.
Then they still played at home and faced the visiting Belarusian team BATE Borisov in the third round of the Champions League group stage. They also sealed the opponent 2:0.
Ibrahimovic still scored, and the other goal came from midfielder Kante's long shot.
In this way, when they challenged "Little Pepper" Lecce away on October 23, AC Milan had already won 6 consecutive victories in Serie A and 3 consecutive victories in the Champions League.
Although it is just an ordinary league game, for Pan Yi, this game has a special meaning.
Because when he went to Lecce for an interview, he had an unpleasant experience...
