Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 146 The Call to the National Team

a few days later.

Burton traded Nasri, a player who had a short tenure but brought significant changes to the team.

He also announced his retirement on social media and at a press conference.

The person most surprised by this was Guardiola.

He even made a special call to inquire about the reason for the player's retirement, and only felt relieved after confirming that the player's career was not ended by that injury.

Unfortunately, Nasri couldn't feel the other person's final concern.

At this time, Burton's players were already on holiday.

Li Yanqing and his coaching staff are collecting information on the national team selections.

After the bonus policy was announced, the coaching team, whose work was previously only at the level of "responsibility", can now be described as "dedicated".

They handle everything themselves, big or small, without Li Yanqing needing to remind them.

Some players need to go to their national teams to participate in the continental cup qualifiers in their respective regions, and those players need to be used with special care.

It's mainly Pepe.

And then there are the players who need to adjust to the time difference.

The result is not bad for the club, because they still didn't get many selections this time.

Joe Hart has been called up to the national team again, and for the time being, he has taken back his starting position from Pickford.

This is something to be excited about.

Then there were Anderson and Baselli, both of whom were making their first appearance for the national team.

I estimate he'd just be a substitute if he went.

The last one is Sun Yan.

He wasn't involved in the World Cup at that time, but he was inevitably called up for the Intercontinental Cup.

Li Yanqing originally thought that he would be the most excited, but unexpectedly, he was the one with the most concerns.

"To be honest, I don't want to go right now."

What would happen if I declined the invitation?

"I feel like I can't concentrate right now..."

Li Yanqing's answer was...

"Why refuse?"

“You told me before that Mengmeng came to Burton to prove herself.”

Do you want to drive her crazy?

"Your progress is inseparable from her; this is one of the few opportunities she has to show herself in front of her family..."

Sun Yan doesn't care about many things, but it seems that it's only this cousin.

"Ok, I see."

"I will play well."

"Of course, but you also need to be careful not to get involved in any troublesome things," Li Yanqing instructed.

"If you're unhappy, just quit."

"No matter what happens, I'm here for you, don't be afraid."

There's nothing wrong with serving the country, of course; what he's worried about is that Sun Yan might be associated with the term "going with the flow."

He was deeply impressed by this thing.

Can't forget it at all.

Although Burton's team is not weak, the addition of players who "follow the trend" might have a surprising effect.

But Sun Yan's performance is already satisfactory to him, and there's no need to create any more variables.

As for the others, none of them have received a summon yet.

"Li, should we consider giving Brinder a chance?"

“If Sun Yan goes to the national team, there will always be times when he can’t play.”

Lyman thought of Blinder, who had been struggling to find his rhythm lately.

In fact, they don't have many options at full-back. If Sun Yan can't play, then they only have Justin, David Luiz, and Blind.

Ideally, the players could regain their form.

only......

Li Yanqing recalled the other party's recent behavior.

Most of the team's players are in good form, and the veterans are using their experience to help the young players grow quickly and integrate into the new tactics.

Blind should actually be playing a role in this area, but no one expected him to be in such a slump until now.

He had previously refused to join Burton, but after the promotion, he took the initiative to join.

They didn't ask for a transfer fee or a high salary.

From this perspective, it still gave the club enough face.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him..."

The holiday was short, only three days, and most players had to stay home to rest.

Therefore, Li Yanqing found him very easily.

"Hi, Li."

"Isn't today a day off?"

Blind doesn't call Li Yanqing "coach" or "boss" in private; he's still not used to it.

"Yes, Daly, but that doesn't stop me from talking to you, does it?"

Li Yanqing didn't care what the other person called him.

Ibrahimovic never calls him "boss," not even on the training field.

He didn't give the veterans enough patience, but he made up for it in other ways.

He won't manage the veterans like he would manage children, because there's no need for that.

"Okay, I know, I'm in a bad state."

"I haven't been able to play in these last few games..."

"Even the national team hasn't called me up for a while."

The players are aware of their problems, but regaining their form is not so simple; it's not something that can be accomplished just by talking about it.

"Do you know how long it will be before we play Manchester United?" Li Yanqing directly pointed out the culprit who had kept him on the bench for half a year, causing him to lose all his form.

Players always need something they care about, otherwise they could just retire like Nasri did after receiving recognition.

If you don't have any goals, you're just slacking off on the field.

He believes that helping the team defeat Manchester United will be of great interest to the opposing team.

"Of course, there are still three games at the end of this month."

Blind had been concerned about the schedule, and he knew he would be facing his former team soon.

"I'm trying really hard to get back into form."

"But I'm sorry, I don't know why, but I feel strange playing football lately."

"I always feel uncomfortable..."

"Could it be a problem with the tactics?" Li Yanqing recalled Mourinho's tactics.

It didn't seem to help much, and this is where Blind's career decline began.

Let's start by thinking about Van Gaal...

This player is characterized by his excellent passing ability and his good defensive skills when he first started out.

But they appeared to have no defensive capabilities under Mourinho's management.

This is most likely not a problem with the player's ability, but rather a problem with how the player is being used.

His defenders are all experts at diving and defending, but Blind is clearly not one of them.

Okay, it's probably a confidence issue.

After a long period of being unappreciated, the player has lost his confidence.

"I roughly know what the problem will be."

"Daly."

"It might be a bit impolite to say that."

"But you could try participating in the second team's training."

"Go bully those kids?" Brinder frowned.

In his opinion, it was more appropriate for Quinn and his gang to do this kind of thing, not for him to do it.

It's a bit cheap...
