Chapter 257 Brinder's Ultimatum

Of course, for Li Yanqing right now, the person he cares about most is Blinder.

This is a question and answer question.

Given that Manchester United's dressing room could explode at any time next season, how can we break them down?

Li Yanqing's answer was Blind.

He's been at Burton for a while now, but hasn't gotten many playing opportunities.

But they do have the ability; it's just that their defense is a bit weak.

With the team adding new defensive reinforcements for the new season, he will definitely get more opportunities.

After the warm-up matches ended, Li Yanqing specifically called Blind over.

"Daly."

"How does it feel?"

"I mean, the feeling of starting and playing the full match."

“Uh, not bad.” Brinder didn’t understand what Li Yanqing meant.

The other party had already told him that he would be the starting left-back this season.

Of course, I'm excited about this.

How long has it been since he made it into the starting lineup?

Their form plummeted after Mourinho took over at Manchester United...

He had finally regained his form at Burton, but then Justin had a breakout season, which resulted in him not being able to play many games.

"What I want to tell you is that you don't need to feel any psychological pressure."

"You didn't perform to your usual standard in the recent warm-up match."

"On the flanks, even if you can't cover the defense, you should at least make some contributions in attack, right?"

“Hmm…” Brinder responded softly, then fell silent.

The reason his performance fell short of expectations was mainly because he simply didn't have many opportunities to showcase his abilities.

His teammates passed the ball upfield in just two or three passes, and he didn't get a chance to do anything.

"I need you to change your kicking style."

Li Yanqing looked at Blind, whose current attributes were [Interception] + [Man Marking] + [Ball-Passing Defender].

The awkward thing is that his first two skills are practically useless, and Burton doesn't need him to pass the ball.

Araujo, Lars Bender, and Manolas can all complete this task.

"Put it in a more forward position."

"Your passing awareness is useless in the backfield, but it's a different story in the midfield."

"If the team's offense is shut down, you have a chance to shine when Quinn isn't in his position."

On the tactics board, Li Yanqing described in detail the tasks he was to undertake.

"As for defense, you don't need to worry, Matthias is quick to retreat."

"However, you don't have much time to think; you must find a way to continue the attack as soon as possible."

"Do whatever you want, send it to whomever you want."

"You can look for such opportunities in the remaining warm-up matches."

"If you still haven't found your place in the starting lineup about a week before the transfer window closes, then I'm afraid I have to tell you..."

"I'm going to be sold?" Without even thinking, Blind knew what Li Yanqing was going to say.

Is this an ultimatum?

The price of a starting position is that he can no longer just coast along like he did last season.

Instead, they must contribute to the team.

Clearly, this young head coach has lost patience with himself.

"Yes."

"I told everyone that you would be the starter."

"Then I'll call you over privately. You should understand what I mean."

"If you don't prove your passion again, our collaboration will probably end soon."

"Prove myself?" Blinder looked out the window, muttering to himself, as a flood of memories suddenly washed over him.

I remembered that summer of 14, when he delivered that precise pass to Van Persie.

I remembered Mourinho telling him, "Dali, you can go find another club yourself. There's no place for you here..."

He had his peak, and he also had moments of resentment.

But he could only accept the fact that he was getting weaker day by day.

Whether at Manchester United or Burton, he didn't have many opportunities to struggle.

This is probably the last chance.

Let's give it a shot, or...

Go play for a small sports team to retire.

Li Yanqing looked at Brinder, who was deep in thought, and did not say anything, but sat to the side and waited.

He's not afraid of bad players, he's afraid of players tanking.

When Karius came to Burton, it was a low point in his life, but he's made it through now.

But he had no way to deal with players like Palmo who didn't put in any effort on the field.

The only option is to remove the other party.

Moreover, he believed that Blinder was somewhat competitive.

Do you remember how firmly Burton refused when he wanted to sign them for the team, who were then in the Championship?

After a long while, Brind came to his senses, but did not answer Li Yanqing's question.

"Li, of all the current team members, I've probably known you the longest."

"You don't like to use older players, especially those who are out of form."

"Take me for example."

"However, I didn't fully regain my form last season, so you've kept me here until now."

“I am very grateful for this.”

As for proving myself again...

"That's not necessary."

"Right now, I only want to do one thing: smash their goal against Manchester United."

"That's the place that caused my downfall!"

"I dislike Woodward, who blocked my transfer, more than Mourinho!"

"To get this done, I'll let you do whatever you want, Lee!"

He did not address Li Yanqing as "coach" or "boss".

Instead, they called out his name directly.

That's what he called him when he was at Manchester United, and even now at Burton, he rarely calls him "boss" like everyone else.

However, Li Yanqing felt that this was exactly the kind of Blind he needed.

If everything can be discarded, then there's really no way to save it.

“I’ve already had Neville arrange your training schedule.”

"You can go and take a look."

"During this time, Neville will do everything he can to assist you!"

"Of course, I will too..."

Li Yanqing and Nawei experimented with their training methods in the youth training team, and the results were surprisingly good.

The decision to heavily utilize Blind at the beginning of the season was not solely for Woodward's sake.

Instead, Li Yanqing planned to conduct a special training program on him.

Remove skills training.

It's not about removing negative keywords, but rather removing skills.

It's his now-ineffective "interception" and "fill-in" that are practically useless.

I only knew that a skill could be reverted from a master-level skill to a normal skill, but I had never seen a normal skill be removed.

Therefore, Blinder, who was in average condition, naturally became the most suitable candidate.

“Daly, I’m glad you think that way.”

"If you had said that to me last season, I think I would have come up with a solution much sooner."

"But it's not too late now."

"We still have plenty of time!"

"I hope so." Brinder nodded; he was no longer a young man, but his expression remained unchanged.

Li Yanqing's methods didn't actually have much effect on him.

This is all thanks to San Dezi's inhuman actions...
