Something in the Making: Lam Matteo (PES 2009)

Matteo is too good to end his career playing in front of sparse crowds like that. It's a shame.

Couldn't agree more, a superstar like him is silly to languish in the championship.

On the last video that defender (#5) will be struggling to look himself in the mirror for the next few days after that performance.

I know, it's kind of rough - but I'm trying to stick to something here. I can't have him be a nomad and move everywhere. It's a shame that he has the team on his back, in every game.

Ha - yeah - that and the goalie. Some positional issues in general with PES, but not nearly as bad as FIFA imho.

I agree. Throughout the story it became very clear Matteo is happiest at Fulham. And the season is still long. So hopefully they'll manage to finish as one of the top two teams.

Besides, if you would switch teams, in my experience, the new team isn't always that great either. CPU makes stupid decisions in your team no matter what team you play for.

A Bump in the road
Not the prettiest car to drive though

Fulham Fan (slightly drunk): "I love Matteo; but he doesn't belong at Fulham anymore. He isn't getting paid what he's worth. He scores all our goals - he deserves to finish his career in the Premier League - not in the depths of the Championship. If you love it, set it free!"

Astounding
Summer clubs taking notice already

Matteo in response to "big" clubs: "It's an honor to be recognized by Real and Man City. My life is dedicated to Fulham though. I'm glad I was able to push my club past United. That is my best career result against the Red Devils."

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

That's amazing! A little different from the 7-0 beating they usually give you.

Also, Matteo is on 248 club career goals now, and 249 career goals in total (counting his 1 int. cap goal). Little milestone coming up.

Aha, yes - it was a victory upon victories; one for the books!

248 and 249? Wow. Thanks for catching that Izu, for some reason - I had felt there was something big coming up. I just assumed I had missed it, as I do, with all these stats.

What would I do without you, brother!? *refers to excel doc*

Matteo's goal was a product of incredible ball movement by the Cottagers.

The push starts now
Strong showing versus Blackpool, 250, eh?

Matteo: "If we can continue this form, we will have a good chance to get into the top of the table. The goal is promotion. And yes, 250 goals in my career is just...incredible."

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

Got this info from Wiki (ok, maybe not from wiki in full):

Goalscorers:



There are seven men to have scored more than 100 goals for the club, all of whom, but one*, have since retired from football:

• Gordon Davies - 178
• Johnny Haynes - 158
• Lam Matteo* - 157
• Bedford Jezzard - 154
• Jim Hammond - 150
• Graham Leggat - 134
• Arthur Stevens - 124
• Steve Earle - 108

In time, maybe even before the end of this season, Matteo could have his name written in permanent ink in the Fulham history books!

I really hope Fulham will string together a few wins. If they win 3 or 4 in a row, they're most likely in the top 4 or 5. And then things could get exciting. It's still a long season!

Fantastic find. I was expecting a Lam Matteo wiki link though

Well, well - I think that 178 will get taken over the way Matteo is scoring. He could also be the first (and now we're dreaming a bit) Footballer of the Year to play in a 2nd division. Not sure if PES can compute that though.

I need to start paying more attention to his stats considering we are so deep in his career now - thanks for that reminder, Izu!

Re: I'VE BEEN HACKED!

Thanks, Mo!

Btw - for those who wonder, I have been at the parents all week due to the snowstorm(s) in KS. Finally, as I type, have hooked up the PC and ready to crank out some Matteo updates. I won't have any XBOX games hooked up since we are moving out next weekend.
