Re: Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)





We sit down with local favorite striker, Lam Matteo, after the American striker has set a good pace for a 20+ goal season, already reaching 13 this year through 14 matches.

Lam, you've scored some wonder goals this year, what have you attributed to your recent success? Like any player on this team, I attribute my success on the pitch to my teammates. We are a different team from last year, some players are starting to get in their own stride.

Is there a certain mark on the goal tally that you would like to reach? No. I feel just playing game by game and adapting to the current conditions will be a goal in its own right. If I get caught up with statistics, I will complicate the important things - like finding my shooting boots.

Sitting in 7th place, do you feel Fulham have a chance to win the Premiership? Yes. We are a resilient club. We have been through the tougher times than most clubs out there. Finishing 14th and 13th last year was something that was not expected. There is not many people who expect us to win the championship this year, so hopefully we can prove them wrong.

How have you felt since all the injuries that occurred the last couple of years? I feel great. I've improved my weight training regiment do a higher level. I'm not gaining any height anymore, so I reckon I should get bigger.

And the change of hairstyle - do you feel superstitious with the shaved head look right now? Superstition is pretty much what I have been my entire career. The shaved head also helps my head the ball better (nothing gets in the way).

Any clubs you feel will send you and your agent an offer at the January transfer window? I feel my performances have prompted some interest. Which teams? I haven't a clue. Hull City have been fairly consistent in trying to get me back - but I can tell you right now, I'm not going back there.

What if the big four (Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool) come calling? Then I will probably have the hardest decision of my entire career. I do want to play UEFA football, so right - it will be an incredible series of emotions I'm sure.

Lastly, with Liverpool this weekend, and Chelsea the next - do you feel like all eyes are on you at the moment? Only my own to be honest. I am my own critic no matter what team we play.

Matteo will have an uphill battle against 2nd place Liverpool this weekend, a team that concedes goals, but scores just as many. We will continue our coverage on the American striker, and the big question in two months time - will Matteo remain a Cottager? Only he will know for sure then.

With a great season like this so far you should be expecting a call up. Lam's goals have been great. That second one against Chelsea was awesome, your teammate set you up with a beauty of a cross, and the finish; one word......class. Keep it up, it is always fun to stop by and see how Lam's season is going.

Good to see you Royce

yes, it's been a great season, that goal against Chelsea was one of my favorites without a doubt. Amazing play by Giovinco on the assist though.

A call up - boy, I sure hope so, can't wait to see Matteo in the USA strips. I did look at the USA lineup and upcoming schedule - nothing seems to be posted just yet. I'm not entirely sure it's worldcup time yet - hopefully that's why.

They usually don't include you into the lineup until it the time International games are being played, especially if you havent been called up before. Depending on which year you are in you could be playing in the Concaf or World Cup qualifiers or just World Cup which happens in the summer off season. There is one year that no Intl' games are going to be played for you and that is when the Euros is going on.

Also do you plan on staying with Fulham or leaving if you get a nice offer? I know it might be a little hard to leave especially since it seems you and Aboglahor have a nice team pairing.
I know it was really hard for me to leave my team after 5 seasons with OGC Nice (French team) and go on to Valencia. I had gotten so use to my teammates playing style and that is one thing I like about this game. You really get a sense that you are gelling with your teammates.

Damn, just when i start following this blog again is when you stop writing. Just playing though, can't wait to see what happens next. Matteo is on the verge of superstardom i can feel it.

I just read all 22 pages, and I love it. I persume you are using photoshop to make the graphics? I love the Sportscenter styled one- at least thats what it remionded me of. Great work, keep it up!

Thanks, sox

Yeah - I think I have grown tired of many different templates I've tried. I believe the sportscenter one (found on pages 12-19) were very solid and I'll probably go back to them because it was a lot easier to update.

I should have an update soon, I'm trying to get situated since moving into the new house this weekend.

Golden: Continuing his scoring streak, Lam Matteo is on absolute fire now. I honestly do not believe he can stop scoring. Unless he gets injured, but I don't see that happening either. Go Matteo!
