Chapter 28-Chapter 29 Three Surprise ()

In addition to Xiao Ming's favorite formation, the 442 formation is also the most basic formation after the modern football formation matures. All subsequent formations were almost developed from the 442 formation. Three-five two is to remove a defender, four-five one is to reduce a forward, and four-five one is to add a forward. Although the three-five one was popular around the 1990s to around 2002, especially after Brazil won the World Cup with the 352 formation, many teams began to adopt the three-five one formation, but after a few years, almost no giants adopted such a risky formation. The reason is very simple - the defensive defects of the three-five ones are too great and cannot cover the area of ​​the backcourt at all. At the same time, after the full-back assists become more and more important in the tactical system, the three-five ones showed its inappropriateness.

Just as Xiao Ming was thinking, McDonald came in with a pile of paper. Xiao Ming was happy when he saw it: "No way? Is there so much information about the first team?"

"Not only the first team, but also a few players with good youth team skills. Don't the team want to be younger? Even if you can't play the main players from the youth team, you can slowly accumulate experience. After all, the training content of the first team is still different from that of the youth team." McDonald explained: "Also, the most is the information reported by the scouts. They are really working hard and their work efficiency is much greater than before."

Xiao Ming smiled but said nothing. In the past, scouts worked based on their enthusiasm and love for Leiden Oriental, but now in addition to these, they also earned 200 pounds per week, so they were more motivated.

There were five main players left in the first team last year, four of them were on the back line. In the five-man defense line last year, except for the old defender Martin who chose to retire, the other four were there, and both full-backs were stayed. The other player McDonald's judgment was that they would not be stronger than last year's main lineup, and it was okay to be a substitute.

If there is no suitable player for the full-back, there is no need to change it. Anyway, the team's two main full-backs, McCassey and Annan were also good players in the League Two last season, and they are not old. They are in their year of playing, and it is enough at this stage, which means at least you have to buy a central defender, three midfielders and one forward, buy five people, and transfer a few from the youth team. The number of first-team players is almost enough.

After understanding this, Xiao Ming began to take the stack of information feedback from the scouts and read it carefully. The players found in this information are basically players who play in the League Two and English League Two and English League Two, because even the high-level player Leiden Oriental cannot buy it. Even if it can be bought, the price it will cost is not necessary at this stage. For English Two and English League Two, English and Chinese League Two, Leiden Oriental is still quite attractive.

However, Xiao Ming was stunned when he saw those strange names. At this time, Xiao Ming's memories of his later generations were useless. Even the hard-core fans would not remember the names of those low-level league players. Even if he saw a few familiar names, Xiao Ming would not naively think that they were those people.

After reading a few pages aimlessly, a more familiar name suddenly jumped into Xiao Ming's eyes.

Gary Bryn, 20 years old, Irish, positioned central defender, currently plays for Gillingham, English Premier League, 1.84 meters tall, excellent header and strong body.

Xiao Ming still has some impression of this name. This person was the main central defender of the Irish national team later. He participated in the 2002 World Cup. Ireland performed quite well in the 2002 World Cup. Among them, the forward Keane Jr., midfielder Duff and defender Brin were among the others. They eliminated the Netherlands in that World Cup qualifier and then entered the 2nd place in the play-offs. In the same group as Germany, Cameroon and Saudi Arabia beat Cameroon as the second in the group. You should know that at that time, Cameroon had a large number of famous players such as Etoo, Mboma, and Lauren. Although Ireland finally qualified for the goal difference, it was able to concede only two goals when facing a large number of heading monsters such as Klose, Yankel, and Bierhoff. It also proves how good Ireland's defense is.

In the quarterfinals, Ireland also made its tenacious defense to the extreme, and in the end it only lost to Spain in the penalty shootout, which allowed the Spanish, which had a large number of famous players such as Raul, Morientes, Tristan, etc., to lose the defensive line led by Brinn to make great contributions.

Although Bolling did not achieve very outstanding achievements in the club's game and has been scattered in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, for Leiden Oriental, who is in the English Premier League, Bolling is probably the best candidate for the central defender at this stage!

Xiao Ming immediately drew a circle on Bolling's name.

It seems that there are still some surprises in low-level leagues. With the huge ability to absorb players in English leagues of all levels, there will definitely be many future powerful players starting in the English C and even semi-amateur leagues in the early stages!

Xiao Ming, who had increased his confidence, began to look at the information of these players more carefully, and soon he discovered another surprise.

Darren Huckby, 18 years old, Englishman, positional striker, currently plays for the English Clinic Lincoln team, played six times last season and scored a goal.

Because of Chinese player Sun Jihai, Xiao Ming was very concerned about Manchester City's game around 2000. Hackby scored 20 goals in the 2000-2001 League One season, helping Manchester City return to the Premier League as the first in the League One. At that time, Manchester City was the first offensive in the League One, and the frontcourt tridents supported by Manchester City's offense were Hackby, Wanchop and Gott.

Although he did not perform well in the Premier League, he transferred to Newcastle two years later because he was favored by countless people. Although he only played once in Newcastle, his strength is unquestionable. At the same time, he can also play in the right midfielder, which is definitely a model of high quality and low price at this stage.

Xiao Ming sighed and drew a circle on Hakbi's name.

The third person Xiao Ming discovered was another future Irish national team player, 20-year-old midfielder Matt Holland, who had just been terminated by Leiden East's mortal enemy West Ham United, and is now a free agent.

"That's these three."

Without finding other familiar names, Xiao Ming handed the information of Brynn, Hackby and Holland to MacDonald: "Tell the transfer department to buy these three people at the right price... Also, let Hilton help with this, his reputation is very high, and it doesn't take vain."

MacDonald did not question why Xiao Ming chose these three people over the others. In fact, the resumes of these three players are just average compared to others. However, MacDonald, who has a somewhat soft personality, will not question Xiao Ming's choice. After all, Xiao Ming is the boss, which is also the reason why MacDonald cannot be a good head coach. The head coach always has a bit of personality, but his personality is very suitable for being an assistant coach. Any head coach hopes that his assistant coach is a person who speaks less and just does his job silently - inconspicuous but very important.

After MacDonald left the office, Xiao Ming called: "Miss Ella, please book a flight ticket to Germany..."

Xiao Ming's next target is also the most important candidate in his mind, and he is a German.

Michael Barack, the only superstar in Germany in the 21st century.

Xiao Ming has no preference for the national team. He likes the team that is strong. When he was 20 years old, he once liked the German national team crazy. After winning the World Cup championship in 1990, the German national team has been on a downward trend until 2002. Barack's performance shocked the whole world. Although he has won countless embarrassing runner-ups in his career, no one can deny that he is the best player in Germany's 21st century.

Xiao Ming, who had carefully investigated Barack's information, knew that the midfielder played in the top league at the age of 21. He had previously played for a German amateur team named Kemnitz, and he did not transfer to Kesslautern, who had just been promoted to the Bundesliga.

The German football circle in the 1990s was extremely superstitious. They believed that a player could truly mature after he was twenty years old. Even the potential shown by Barack was only the main player in the amateur team of Kemnitz at the age of nineteen. It was only two seasons later that he was attracted by Kaiserslautern, who had just entered the Bundesliga. He even played in the reserve team for half a season in his first season when he joined Kaiserslautern. It seems to be an incredible thing now.

It is an unforgivable thing for such a great man who is still playing amateur competition to let go of it easily.

Although Leiden Oriental is only the English-Class team now, it is still the fourth-level team, and Kemnitz is now only the sixth-level team in Germany. Most of the teams are still part-time players, and professional and semi-amateur are two different skyscrapers.

Although Boseman's transfer rules have not been implemented yet, he can have five foreign players and three players on the court, which is enough.

It took Xiao Ming a long time to find the location of the team. Xiao Ming was originally disappointed with Leiden East, but when he saw the location of the Kemnitz club, he felt that he was extremely lucky.

In terms of club hardware facilities, Kemniz is several levels worse than Leiden Oriental, with a narrow training ground, dilapidated office buildings, and even their chairman is an ordinary middle-aged man. He owns his own supermarket in the local area, and he relies on this supermarket to support the team.

However, after asking the chairman, Xiao Ming was shocked - there was no seventeen-year-old player named Barack in the Kemnits club, and not even in the youth team!

After leaving the Kemnits Club, Xiao Ming felt depressed - did he remember it wrong? Or did Barack not come to Kemnits yet? So where did he go to find a young player named Barack?

Although Kemnitz is not big, it has a population of more than 200,000. It is simply a needle in a haystack to find someone.

Barack is a very important part of Xiao Ming's plan. With such an outstanding midfielder core, Leiden Oriental may be able to play at least in the League One even if other players are generally capable. At the same time, Xiao Ming also plans to train Barack to become the future midfielder core. Even if the ambitious Barack is unwilling to stay in Leiden Oriental after becoming famous, Xiao Ming can transfer him out and make a lot of money.

The most important thing is that even if Holland can be bought, only Wilkinson and Holland can play the main players in Leiden East. Wilkinson basically has no offensive ability, and Holland is also a standard defensive midfielder. Even if Leiden East's defense is already very good, but can you win one game after another by defense alone. Will the upgrade be successful?

Barack's midfielder with both offense and defense is itself a catalyst for improving the overall strength of a team. At the same time, as a standard German, his fighting spirit and will can bring a completely transformative change to the team.

But now, before Barack was found, all the ideas became mirages and moons. As soon as he was ready to start with confidence, he suffered such a huge blow, and Xiao Ming was a little at a loss.

Do you have to wait until next year to buy Barak? Barak is not in Kemnitz this year, and he will definitely be here next year, but waiting for more than one year will lead to more variables. What if Kemnitz refuses to let go? He is not a fool. He ran to Kemnitz once and twice to ask if there is anyone named Barak. The other party will definitely not want to transfer or ask for more money.

Xiao Ming, a little upset, walked to a stadium in the city of Kemnitz. This is a public stadium. There are many public green spaces like Europe. After walking for a while, Xiao Ming felt a little tired, so he sat down and planned to take a rest.

At this moment, there were gradually more people in the empty stadium, and then people quickly cleared the stadium. Two teams of people walked into the stadium. After a while of activity, they were ready to start the game.

"Maybe which school teams are going to play?" Xiao Ming guessed that when he saw that the players on both sides were very young, the cheering on the sidelines were mostly young. After asking a few young people around him, one of the young people told him in English that this was a friendly match between the team of the Kemnitz Sports College and the friendship school in other places.

After nodding and thanking the other party, Xiao Ming looked at it casually. How high can high school football be? But as he looked at it, he became interested. The Germans are known for their rigor and discipline. The same is true for their football teams. Although these two high school teams are only average in their level, they are very scheming in running positions and are quite formal.

At this time, the home team won a corner kick, and the No. 10 player jumped high in the penalty area to score. The audience around the stadium immediately cheered, and the scoring players and teammates hugged, and their excitement was no less than winning the World Cup championship.

Just as Xiao Ming was looking at the celebrating player happily, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and then he stood up with a "leap" sound!
Chapter completed!
