                          RAZBIRALKA



   Another new section. Here we will analyze the game, sometimes
details (if the game deserves it) and sometimes not. Naturally 
blunt shooters or fighting in general will not be considered. 
Okay. Since the start of the championship Europe on football 
today will be discussed in detail of course football. But it is 
not easy, but managerial. I think that this genre of games have 
snubbed the people who make the description of the toys. We 
ought to overshadow this gap, but and for many this is the 
favorite genre of games. A real fan of the genre of games, of 
course he razbiret any manager's football, well, someone who 
wants to play, but do not know where to start can read our 
paper and this section, because while there is a European 
championship we consider it football. So let's begin. True, 
just want to say that this article was to tear me from the 
magazine ZXREVYU for 1993 and it was written by Yuri Matveev. 
My comments on this game, read below. Let's start ... 


 (C) Yuri Matveyev.


                           THE DOUBLE


                            J. S. Ltd.

club? If not, then try to play a good game "THE DOUBLE "("

   At the beginning of the championship you shop players, 
experimenting with composition. Eventually you come to the 
conclusion that some players have on the way and will have to 
part with them. The first attempts to sell the weaker players 
to other clubs will be unsuccessful. This is understandable. 
Who needs the extra ballast? After each player has to pay a 
considerable salary from the budget of the club. Many managers 
adhere to the principle: "We are not rich enough to buy cheap 
players." Take it and you this principle is adopted. Do not 
despair if you can not quickly sell the player. It is possible 
that it will buy later when, because of injuries leading 
players some managers will be forced to reduce their demands.

payments do not necessarily reflect the level of playing 
football. This may associated with the privileged position of 
some players. Finest hour they had long been in the past. 
However, for its past achievements, they still have a good 
salary, which can be much higher than that of the young. 
However, there are other situations. Young budding footballers, 
the club sometimes overstates the salary, as it were advancing 
their future success. You are, incidentally, does not deal with

of viewers. The following is a message that the stadium 
attended by Inspector from the football federation.

                        GLOSSARY OF EXPERTS

                        =================


   Characteristics of each player consists of five separate
independent of each other's sentences. For ease of use
vocabulary, phrases, divided into five groups. The first 
sentence of the expert should be sought in the first group, 
second in the second, etc. To characterize the goalie all the 
phrases pertaining to them are highlighted in a separate 
section, consisting of five groups. 


   The attentive reader will note that the absolute
most of the statements of experts about the players have a 
positive tone. Nobody berates and denigrates. This is probably 
something there, but still you need to somehow be able to 
separate the individual nuances of these statements. Dare 
yourself, it requires only experience.

   Well, almost done. Now I will say a few words about this 
game and give some advice (it's a toy, I walked to the end, ie 
scored twice). Course of managerial Soccer is very complicated, 
but it is only at first glance. After sitting a bit behind the 
game you will not be able to move away from the monitor without 
having done the double. And to make it faster here's a few more 
tips. 


   In the first of your team, ie LEICESTER CITY are four 
players, which you can not just sell. Here are their names and 
amount they receive for the week: SEALY - 380 `, KELLY - 380`, 
MAUCHLEN - 405 `and MORGAN - 550`. About the first two separate 
conversation, but about the second I'll tell you something. 
Yes. And you have not yet arisen question: "Why MORGAN-it is 
not for sale?". Answer. This is the player who "finest hour" 
has passed, but for services he did not pay too little. Give it 
to play games four and You will be able to sell it when they 
start trading. MAUCHLEN, as you again gets noticed as WALSH - 
405 pounds, but unlike him, is not for sale. It seems he was 
quite old, but he too should give play a bit and you'll get to 
sell it When will the auction, but do it you will be more 
complicated than than MORGAN'a. And here they are - parasites 
and parasite. This I certainly pro KELLY and SEALY. I do not 
know why, but they generally not sold to any. And they you have 
to sacrifice to did not take place and does not suck money from 
the budget of the team. Especially limit players is not 
infinite and can not in my team 50 people at once. In order to 
sell them, or rather to give for nothing, there is a gratis 
exchange. When any team the second or third division prespichet 
you take these players they will tell you about this 
separately. Agree without delay (ACCEPT). And now for a place 
they can buy a cool players. I was really such a case, I am the 
team manager LIVERPOOL, and suddenly I offer to pay a player 
who receives a weekly salary of 650 pounds and scored baskets. 
Naive people. Its the same can be sold for money, and I here 
offer for nothing. Jokers. Okay, I digress. When you propose to 
go into another team, first look at how many players are worth 
it (forgot the name of menus, but it will be in the middle 
between the ACCEPT and DECLINE), and only then go there. Now on 
the count of the number of spectators. Predict them as much as 
the average goes from You at the stadium. This can be done only 
once, early in the tournament. Change then it is not necessary. 
And at the expense of experts, take them when they start 
bidding (have to write down on paper the number a player who 
you priglenulsya, and what team he plays, it if you can not 
remember the name, etc. and still advise to do this, then 
understand themselves why). Physiotherapist take immediately if 
any one of your players suddenly got injured, then with 
tetapevtom player will recover twice as fast. Well the account 
number to pay for this or that player, trust intuition and 
stavte amount to 20-30 thousand more than you brought expert. 
Though sometimes the opposite of him offering a smaller amount 
and sometimes many times more, if the player is very good and 
he stands dofiga (eg 546.250). A hundred thousand more were 
given for this. That's it.



   Well, sort of like it. Play and enjoy. Success to you
in a career manager.


   P.S. Here's my thought here, but can MORGAN'a no one takes 
because of his gangster name? Huh?
