Chapter 175 Li Yanqing's Confidence

The next day, Burton lost to Chelsea again.

This was expected; Li Yanqing sent all the young generals who were capable of fighting to gain experience.

However, the score this time was 1 to 2. Murphy's performance in this game was quite outstanding, and he scored that goal all by himself.

Although it's a little late...

Li Yanqing contacted Nawei immediately after the match ended.

Regardless of whether Chris's scenario will actually happen, there's basically no hope for a transfer fee.

According to Barker, the budget for each transfer window is around 20 million.

Actually, this would be quite good in other leagues, but this is the Premier League, where players are more expensive than in other leagues.

Especially for domestic players, even the slightly better ones command exorbitant prices.

Therefore, he needs to hurry up and improve the vocabulary training.

It's time for Neville to make his mark.

At this point, the table was already densely covered with data tables.

Each player is a stack.

Part of it is Neville's own technical statistics, and the other part is Miss Fanny's physical examination data.

"Murphy's data has basically stabilized."

"The biggest change in recent training has been in Justin."

"Next are Kvaradona and Araujo."

At Li Yanqing's request, Nawei focused his attention on young people.

They are the best group to train.

As for the training content, it had already been arranged in advance.

Justin mainly practices passing and dribbling, aiming to become Marcelo's number two.

Araujo can practice passing the ball, but the main focus should be on defense. However, judging from the current situation, his progress in passing the ball is far greater than his progress in defense.

The only one who's performing normally is Cvalardona, who is Matias' successor and has almost taken over his starting position in recent matches.

"Look, the data shows a significant increase."

Neville pointed to a line of data showing Justin's ever-increasing dribbling ability.

Li Yanqing remembered that he didn't have any outstanding skill attributes, and now he estimated that he was only one step away from achieving the "human ball passing" skill.

"No, let's practice in a different way."

"Let him try to break through multiple opponents more often and practice one-on-one less."

Li Yanqing's words left Neville somewhat confused.

The player plays on the wing, and most of the time he only needs to be able to get past the defender in a one-on-one situation.

Actually, this was the experience Jamie gave him.

At that time, Jamie learned to "dribble past opponents with ease" rather than "pass the ball past the player".

Whether viewed literally or in actual gameplay, "dribbling past opponents with ease" is far more effective than "passing the ball past the opponent".

Since we're hoping Justin will break through, we might as well just train his strongest skill directly.

"Uh...you want him to just charge straight into the opponent's penalty area?"

"But then, we won't have a single defensive player on our left flank?"

Nawei understood what Li Yanqing meant, but he was quite worried about it.

The right flank is now occupied by Anderson and Sun Yan. Their attack is stronger, and their defense is also decent, so there's no need to worry.

However, whether it's Matias, Kvaradona, or Blind on the left flank, they basically have no defensive capabilities.

If Justin continues to do this...

"It's okay, I'll use two purely defensive midfielders when I use this lineup."

"Then we'll focus our attacks down the flanks."

The defensive midfielders Li Yanqing was referring to were Baselli and Enzo, since the latter had already agreed to his request.

“Okay,” Neville could only agree.

As for Kvaradona and Araujo, their training is going smoothly and there is no need for changes.

We're just waiting for the technical terms to appear...

The good news is that seeing the rapid growth of these young players, Li Yanqing is much more at ease.

It doesn't matter if the veterans can't last long; once their technical skills are developed, the team's strength will stabilize.

There are still at least two years left, and their progress is actually faster than Sun Yan's group, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

In the FA Cup third round match a week later, Li Yanqing fielded the same lineup he had been practicing recently.

The opponent was Crystal Palace, who defeated Burton 1-0 in the league, but they are not actually that strong.

It can only be said that they happened to be out of form.

The players are in pretty good form this time, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Since Quinn wasn't attacking through the middle, he was relegated to the bench.

Cazorla plays as a central midfielder, with Baselli and Jami behind him.

Ibrahimovic will still be the starting striker, since the most effective way to get to the byline is still to improve his dribbling ability before he gets to the byline.

Justin hasn't started many games, so when Li Yanqing told him that he could freely rush forward to break through or cross the ball in this match, he couldn't believe it was true.

"It's okay, go ahead and kick it."

"Don't be afraid of losing possession. What we require of you and me is to break through defenses, not to protect the ball..."

Li Yanqing hoped he could master the skill of "extraordinary skill," which would be the best solution.

It's not enough to just dribble past someone during training.

He seemed a little strained...

Ten minutes later, Neville looked at Justin struggling on the field and covered his face in embarrassment.

He was responsible for finding people to teach the players dribbling skills...

"It was quite brutal; he doesn't seem used to it."

"However, there is still a success rate in one-on-one situations; it's just that when you're double-teamed, you get a bit flustered."

"After all, this isn't a practice match; the opposing players are likely to play aggressively."

Li Yanqing's expression remained unchanged; he was certain that the player had enough talent, but simply hadn't adapted yet.

Protecting yourself is sometimes more important than playing football.

"Enzo! Cover for him!"

"Matthias, retreat a bit."

“Give Justin some space…”

Li Yanqing openly and blatantly demanded that the other players let Justin practice against them.

Burton's own players are quite obedient; as long as they play according to the coach's instructions, they will always achieve a good result.

However, the Crystal Palace players were not happy about it.

What do you mean?

Are you underestimating their abilities and treating them as sparring partners?

They were the winners in the previous matches!

"Get on top!"

"Don't give your opponent a chance!"

Crystal Palace's manager couldn't stand this attitude either, and immediately ordered the team to go all out on the pitch.

Benteke, who scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute, started this time and charged into the crowd.

However, he probably won't be able to score another header over two defenders this time.

Pepe was standing in front of him, smiling as she placed her hand on his shoulder...

The game reached a stalemate.

The situation remained unchanged until forty minutes had passed.

"Switch the attack to the other side!"

"Let's score a goal and maintain our lead first!"

Li Yanqing gave the order: we've tried for so long, it's best to score a goal first to secure the victory.

After failing to break through, Justin obediently passed the ball to Anderson on the other side.

"Defense!"

"Get back to defense!"

"We're not to be trifled with either..."

Before the opposing coach could finish speaking, he stood there dumbfounded.

The ball goes into the net!

Burton Albion 1-0 Crystal Palace!

Anderson demonstrated the use of "dribbling past three players in quick succession" to reach the byline, followed by a "masterful cross from the byline".

Then Ibrahimovic replicated Bendtner's earlier goal-scoring method, dominating two opposing defenders and slotting the ball into the net...

At this moment, the opposing coach was filled with confusion.

If you're even slightly serious, can you just score a goal whenever you want?

They actually used them as practice subjects!

Also, what exactly is your skill level?
