Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 178 I'm Also a Marksman King

After half an hour.

Li Yanqing and Lyman were staring blankly at the field.

The youth team's head coach, Rhein, looked at them with a broad smile.

He had a feeling that he was about to receive another bonus, following Murphy and Quinn.

In the training match that just ended, Li Yichuan performed exceptionally well, scoring five goals.

Whether it's at the edge of the penalty area or outside the box, no matter where he is, he'll unleash a powerful shot as long as he's given an opening.

The [Heavy Gunner] and [Cloud Piercer] skills do indeed provide bonuses.

The most obvious change is that the accuracy of the shots has improved a lot compared to before.

The past six months of learning from Ibrahimovic seem to have helped him find his favorite way of playing football.

Is he about to make his boast come true?

"plum!"

"How about it?"

"His progress over the past six months has been incredible!"

"The first team only has two center forwards, Ibrahimovic and Murphy. Should we promote him?"

"He will help the team!"

Rhein was very excited. Although Li Yichuan's overall strength was not as good as Murphy's during the youth training team, he had distinct personal characteristics, so it was not unreasonable to promote him to the first team.

Li Yanqing did not reply at the moment.

He's still quite conflicted.

Judging solely from the long-range shooting ability, the opponent definitely passed.

However, it falls short in other aspects.

This was just a training match at the U18 level, and he couldn't hold off the opponent's two center-backs yet.

This is Ibrahimovic's biggest contribution to the first team at present.

He creates opportunities for his teammates and scores with headers or rebounds in the middle of the field. That's how he became the team's top scorer this season.

But Li Yichuan is different.

He is still very young and has a much wider range of movement on the field than Ibrahimovic, so he cannot consistently put pressure on the defenders.

Moreover, in order to have a chance to shoot from a distance, they often choose to retreat.

However, his organizational skills are poor, so he needs his teammates on the flanks to help him stretch the defensive forces.

Surprisingly, she and Sun Yan are a good match.

"Jens, what do you think?" Li Yanqing posed the question to Lyman.

After thinking for a while, the latter gave a similar answer to his.

"I don't think he's suitable for the first team right now."

"This player's style of play seems more suited to beating weaker opponents; he won't be very effective in tough matches."

"It would be great if we could develop a stance or the ability to drop back and receive the ball."

"He's only sixteen, how could he possibly know everything..." Rhein covered his head, glancing at the player with a hint of helplessness.

"By the standards of youth training in the past, he would have been considered qualified."

"Overall, they are competent, possess tactical awareness, and also have some unique personal characteristics."

"He's already a very outstanding young man!"

“We don’t deny your work, Rhein,” Li Yanqing said, shaking his head.

"But given the current situation of the first team, promoting him would actually be bad for him."

"We might not have many opportunities to dominate weaker opponents."

"Even if there were such an opportunity, Murphy would be given priority."

"What do you say?"

This is actually the biggest reason: most of the time, they don't have many opportunities for players to waste shots.

Especially when the opposing goalkeeper has a strong defense, long-range shots are not so easy to score.

“Uh…” Rhine immediately deflated at the mention of Murphy.

That was the player he valued most in his coaching career, without a doubt!

"Well then, the first team isn't in a rush to get players anyway."

"Let him continue training here, if he can win the U18 league championship..."

"Are you kidding me, Li!" It wasn't a big deal that Li Yichuan couldn't make it into the first team, but Rhein was a little angry about that "U18 league champion" comment.

Their opponents are many well-established youth training bases!

"Okay, it's not that easy."

"I forgot that after moving to the Premier League, even the youth teams' matches became more difficult."

Li Yanqing admitting his mistake is just as difficult as asking him to lead the team to victory right now.

Even if Li Yichuan is the best among youth training strikers, it will be difficult for him to win a championship unless he can score four or five goals in every game.

After a moment of silence, Rhine finally gave up on the idea.

"I'll wait a little longer for Murphy's sake."

"But Li, he's a player you brought in. If he gets poached by another club, I won't be responsible."

“Of course, that has nothing to do with you.” Li Yanqing nodded.

He's not worried about that. All things considered, Li Yichuan is at most a substitute in the Championship right now.

There shouldn't be any Championship team that can poach players from him.

“Tell him that I come to see you every two months.”

"I will bring him to the first team as soon as his ability meets my requirements."

"As for what to practice, just ask Ibrahimovic."

"Just a tiny bit more..."

ten minutes later.

"I didn't get promoted, right?"

Seeing Rhein's somewhat sullen expression, Li Yichuan already knew the outcome.

"It's okay, I can accept it."

“I am still far from being as good as Zlatan.”

“If you were as good as him, clubs would have offered exorbitant sums to poach you long ago.” Rhein rolled his eyes.

Li Yanqing always talks about the "championship," while this kid never takes top strikers seriously.

"Actually, I just overheard some of your conversation."

"He's right, this place is more suitable for my growth now."

"Moreover, as long as I win the U18 league championship, I can join the first team!"

"Isn't it?"

"Do you all think winning the championship is so easy?" Rhine's face had now completely darkened.

Now, half a season has passed, and their U18 youth team's performance is not terrible, but it's not great either.

They were only thirty points behind the first place.

"Next year is fine too. I don't want to become a burden if I go to the first team."

“It would be great to be like Murphy. I want to save the club, not be taken care of.”

"Zlatan taught me a lot, and I don't want to compete with him for a starting position..."

"What are you trying to steal!" Rhine couldn't hold back any longer and pushed Li Yichuan away.

"Can you be more serious?"

"Although he's getting old, he's still the team's top scorer!"

“I’m also the top marksman…” Li Yichuan muttered.

"And his goal tally is several times that of his."

"Is that the same thing?" Rhine was already getting a little impatient; he felt like the whole world was a bit off.

One is the English Premier League, and the other is U18.

Aren't there too many examples of players who dominate in the U18 league but then fall from grace in the top league?

In China, would you consider speaking like this arrogant or confident?

But he quickly calmed down.

"Go train."

"You'll make it to the first team someday."

"If all else fails, it wouldn't be bad if we actually won the championship back."

"That young man named Rodri who recently joined the youth academy is very talented; he'll be a great help next season..."
