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

I am glad you are, it's simply amazing. Did you manage to incorporate the championship teams into your BAL? Took me a while, but I figured it out with league editor (replaced Ligue 1).

Nope, I didn't figure that out. I was worried Coca Cola league teams might start showing up in the Europa or Champions League if I started messing around with it.

Fixture 23 - (Feb. 18, 2017)
Leicester City v Watford



Ross Jenkins found himself on the scoresheet in the second half.

Prematch: Leicester City (16th, 23pts) – Watford (19th, 20pts)
Nigel Pearson starts Yann Kermorgant along with Matty Fryatt after both players have shown some good form as of late, but don't be
surprised if super-sub Lam Matteo makes his presence for one of them in the second half. Watford are struggling in the lower table,
but keeper Scot Loach has done well the last couple of games - showing why he is the captain for a troubled side.Soggy conditions
will dictate some high paced action - both teams will be fighting for every point available, so expect it to be a cagy affair.

Halftime: Leicester City 0-1 Watford
Matthew Oakley's own goal before half stunned the visiting Watford. Each team attacking with a purpose, but the final pass has not
been there. A couple of chances for Leicester thanks to poor clearing, but neither Kermorgant or Fryatt appear to be stuck in.

Fulltime: Leicester City 0-2 Watford
Watford set the tone early in the second half, and were rewarded for their efforts when substitute Ross Jenkins barreled past the
immobile Leicester defense. A poor showing from the home side as it seemed many of Nigel Pearson's men simply gave up towards
the end.

Watford Goals: Own Goal 36 - Jenkins 74

IT'S ABOUT TIME
Matteo gets the nod, starting versus Palace

By Johnson Peoples (Editor) - 8:35 am (2/25/2017)

Word has come in this morning, Lam Matteo is set to start against Palace. Looks like Pearson was tired of his forwards not
scoring more than a goal a game.

With that said, I'm still skeptical on Leicester's direction, and part of me senses Matteo feels the same way. He really looks
like the best player on the pitch - think he is starting to find his form once again, just a matter of having the teammates get
him the ball.

There have been countless amount of times in previous matches where they have decided to dance on the touchline instead
of send in first time crosses - seriously, is there style points in the Championship!?

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

Fixture 24 - (Feb. 25, 2017)
Leicester City v Crystal Palace



Lam Matteo starts for Leicster for the first time - and would play the full 90.

Prematch: Leicester City (17th, 23pts) – Crystal Palace (4th, 40pts)
Seventeen points separate the sides as Leicester are coming off of a dissapointing home loss to woeful Watford last week, and Palace
drawing with Bristol City. The story in Leicester is the branding of Lam Matteo entering the fray of starter - and with a high sense of
urgency - his welcome should not be shortlived.

Halftime: Leicester City 0-0 Crystal Palace
Leicester have gotten the midfield ping pong down - but have not found the back of the net. Their best two chances fell to Lam Matteo,
but two brilliant saves by Speroni. Levi Porter was the creator of those chances, and if he continues to display the playmaking ability -
there should be a couple of goals in sight before night's end.

Fulltime: Leicester City 0-0 Crystal Palace
After 90 minutes of football, neither side could find the back of the net - at least both keepers are content with their clean sheets.
No shots on goal either, quite the nervy attack that is expected from Leicester, but surely Crystal Palace will not be happy with their
form.

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

Fixture 25 - (Mar. 4, 2017)
Middlesbrough v Leicester City


Folan had the best chance of the match..

Prematch: Middlesbrough (5th, 39pts) – Leicester City (18th, 24pts)
Nigel Pearson has opted to go back to the basics today, starting the match with the same lineup that grouped 4 wins in a row during
the first month of the season. Middlesbrough have racked up good results last month, notching 9 points out of a possible 12.

Halftime: Middlesbrough 0-0 Leicester City
Virtually uninspiring play by both sides, Leicester has not strung together three passes - while Boro are seemingly comfortable to
knock the ball around so as to lull the Leicester team to sleep. There has been no word for either bench for a change in personnel
- frustration has started to set in, let's hope the second half will produce less of a chess match and more of a goal fest.

Fulltime: Middlesbrough 0-0 Leicester City
It seems Nigel Pearson has decided that his side scoring goals would result in goals conceded for his team - so Leicester's game
plan must be to sit and rack of each scoreless draw, to gain a point. Hey...whatever works, but the second in a row - and if a third
shows up next week, there could be some issues.

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

Fixture 25 - (Mar. 11, 2017)
Leicester City v Preston North End



Preston North End players celebrate the first goal of the match.

Prematch: Leicester City (18th, 25pts) – Preston North End (13th, 32pts)
Nigel Pearson has opted to go back to the basics today, starting the match with the same lineup that grouped 4 wins in a row during the
first month of the season. Middlesbrough have racked up good results last month, notching 9 points out of a possible 12.

Halftime: Leicester City 0-2 Preston NE
The Northenders are striking with fire, both forwards Neil Mellor and Chris Brown with a goal to their name. Leicester have been in the
match though, two brilliant free kicks by Andy King, one which produced a fine save Lonegran and another which hit the post.

Fulltime: Leicester City 1-2 Preston NE
There's no surprise who the winner was, Leicester City were a disorganized, out of touch side today - there was no chance in the second
half despite the consolation goal by Yann Kermorgant. With only 12 matches remaining, Nigel Perason and company had better find a
scoring streak - and with haste.

Leicester City Goals: Kermorgant 84
Preston North End Goals: Brown 35 - Mellor 42

Fixture 26 - (Mar. 18, 2017)
Leicester City v Sheffield Wednesday



Joy all around in the second half for Leicester.

Prematch: Leicester City (19th, 25pts) – Sheffield Wednesday (17th, 26pts)
Leicester City are in dire need of three points this afternoon - and Nigel Pearson has revamped the starting lineup, in particular up front
with DJ Campbell and Martyn Waghorn - two forwards who have seen little to no playing time. Sheffield Wednesday's Mark Beevers has
been the force to be recokoned with - and along with Leicester's poor form, he could find some goals on his team's side.

Halftime: Leicester City 0-0 Sheffield Wed
It has been all Wednesday in the first half - no real chances though, Leicester seem to be asleep on the left side - and atacking is not
even an option until they can regroup defensively. No signs of either team making mid-way subs just yet.

Fulltime: Leicester City 2-0 Sheffield Wed
All three points are taken by Leicester, a great performance by both sides - but Leicester's Richie Wellens free kick goal was the
inspiration before Lam Matteo set up Andy King with the clinche in stoppage time.

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

Fixture 26 - (Mar. 25, 2017)
Swansea City v Leicester City



Could Leicester hold on without the work rate of Lam Matteo in the second half?

Prematch: Swansea City (7th, 40pts) – Leicester City (17th, 28pts)
The boys in blue have managed to escape bottom of the table from 19th to 17th after their victory last week versus Sheffield
Wednesday, but are not completely safe just yet with Swansea City currently producing decent results - especially at home.
Leicester City's Lam Matteo was selected as man of the match, and it appears Nigel Pearson remains faithful to such good
deeds by starting the American alongside Yann Kermorgant.

Halftime: Swansea City 0-0 Leicester City
An exciting affair between the two sides. Swansea City were gifted the goal when Lam Matteo's indirect headed backpass found
a wide open Leon Britton, who then crossed the ball into the path of Gorka Pintado, who slid into the ball- which found the back
of Carl Pentney's goal.

Fulltime: Swansea City 1-0 Leicester City
Slick passing looked pretty by Leicester, but no points in a match where neither team could find goals in the second half. While
both were aggressive - Leicester was the one that needed to salvage at least a point - but indecision and Lam Matteo's injury
resulted in the loss.

Fulltime: Leicester City 1-2 Queens Park Rangers

Leicester City are in troubble now. With another loss in the books, the side is sitting ugly in dead last (20th) with only 9 matches
remaining. Lam Matteo is expected to make a return to the side after a calf injury kept it out of this one.


Next Match - Reading v Leicester City

[Matt10]

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

Fixture 28 - (Apr. 8, 2017)
Reading v Leicester City


Reading are the favorites for this one.

Prematch: Reading (7th, 43pts) – Leicester City (20th, 28pts)
On paper, Reading are the better side, but Nigel Pearson's men are in desperate - which could make them just as, if not more, dangerous.
Matty Fryatt finds himself paired up with an unproven Martyn Waghorn.

Halftime: Reading 0-0 Leicester City
Jimmy Kebe is the man of the half with two shots - but both shots saved well by Carl Pentney in the Leicester goal. The attacking mentality
of Leicester is showing, but as always the final ball is lacking. Martyn Waghorn has simply been out of sync with strike partner Matty Fryatt,
which is why Lam Matteo has entered the match in hopes of finding the miracle 3 points Leicester so desperately need.

Fulltime: Reading 0-0 Leicester City
A frantic match played, but neither side could find the winner.Leicester's Levi Porter coming the closest in injury time after a perfectly
weighted ball by Lam Matteo, but Porter's header sailed well over the bar. The point will do Leicester no good from getting out of the
bottom table.

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

Fixture 29 - (Apr. 15, 2017)
Leicester City v Sheffield United



Matteo found himself on the wrong side of the referee's whistle, but no bookings.

Prematch: Leicester City (20th, 29pts) – Sheffield United (11th, 41pts)
Nigel Pearson rewards Lam Matteo today for his play in the scoreless draw to Reading. Matteo will also be the focal point to score
some much needed goals despite only having one goal this season. Sheffield United are a team that has slowly creeped up the
Championship table, and it will not be a surprise if they decide to let loose on a struggling Leicester side today.

Halftime: Leiecester City 0-0 Sheffield United
Fairly exhilirating match, Leicester City look like a different team with Matteo starting - the striker already has 3 shots on goal,
each just missing the target. Sheffield continue to press on with their slow, methodical attack, but one can sense there will be a
breakthrough soon enough.

Fulltime: Leicester City 0-0 Sheffield United
Yet another scoreless draw, yet another meaningless point for Leicester City. At this rate, I'd say pack your bags, Leicester
faithful - you're bout to get sacked.
