Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 26 Surprise

"Don't worry, it's been ten years."

"Someone like him who thinks he's superior wouldn't care about someone as insignificant as me."

Li Yanqing smiled slightly. So much time has passed, the other party might not even remember him.

My purpose in coming back is to take the opportunity to swindle a few promising talents.

"Look at the state you've become, really."

Coach Wang looked at this player who was once considered the best under his command and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If he had continued playing football back then, he would at least be a pillar of the national team now, right?

"By the way, what brings you back?"

"It can't be that he couldn't make it abroad and now he wants to come back and freeload, right? I don't have that kind of ability..."

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you." Li Yanqing shook his head and finally turned his gaze to the training field.

Coach Wang was unaware of his situation, and he didn't intend to say much.

He already had a grudge against this place, and if they knew he was now a coach, they would be even less likely to let him in.

Not all the kids here will have a chance, but they are all considered the property of the training camp. If they knew his purpose, wouldn't the boss, Chen Yi, go crazy?

However, Li Yanqing was somewhat disappointed, as the situation was not comparable to that of the past.

Let alone a prodigy like Mbappe, they're far behind Burton's own youth academy.

While the most outstanding individuals also possessed attributes like "tough guy" and "a flash of inspiration," none of them had achieved a skill-related attribute.

This means that their basic abilities are all substandard.

Of course, the entry panel uses the standards of the top five European leagues, so it would be strange if it passed.

The only thing that surprised Li Yanqing was that most of them had the same entry.

Go with the flow.

Unlike purely negative terms like "traitor" or "slacker," it's difficult to directly judge whether a term like "following the crowd" is good or bad.

Because if you put such a player in a high-level team, even if he is not good enough, he can grow quickly and integrate into the team.

However, if they are placed in a weak team, their strength will decline rapidly.

This is actually a very common situation among players, but it is particularly evident in players with the "go with the flow" trait.

Commonly known as a "slacker" player.

These types of players are clearly not his target.

Burton's current situation is completely unacceptable.

"Boss Wang, this graduating class isn't very good. Where are the younger students training?"

"At C2... wait, what do you want to do?" Coach Wang was halfway through his answer when he suddenly paused.

Why does this kid look like he's here to scout players?

"Let's see, what if there's a hidden genius like me?"

Li Yanqing, of course, wouldn't tell the truth, and instead directly changed the subject.

"Since there's no opportunity, it's better to change careers sooner rather than later."

"Isn't staying here a waste of your youth?"

"No problem." Coach Wang nodded, agreeing with this point.

"Speaking of which, there are actually a few kids whose situations were similar to yours back then."

"You can go and see them."

He wasn't the boss, and he loathed that system, but as an employee, there was nothing he could do about it.

If Li Yanqing could share her experiences with them, it might help them come to terms with reality.

"Really?" Li Yanqing was surprised that there hadn't been any progress here over the years.

That's good, though, because it increases the success rate of poaching talent.

Soon, led by Coach Wang, the two arrived at an open training field.

On the vast green field, only five young people were setting up some training equipment and training.

"That's them."

"They're all young guys who offended management, just as stubborn as you were back then."

“They don’t even have the chance to transfer to other youth training camps. You know, those managers would rather let them die here than let them go.”

Coach Wang shrugged; this was basically a consensus.

If you can't make a name for yourself here, it's fine if you don't succeed elsewhere, but if you do succeed, wouldn't that be a disaster?

Li Yanqing, who was standing to the side, remained silent, because he was completely stunned.

Two of these five children have quite good entries!

Name: Li Yichuan

Age: 15 years old.

Status: Normal.

Fatigue level: 1%.

Probability of injury: 1%.

Terms: [Sudden Insight Player], [Power Shot]

Name: Sun Yan

Age: 17 years old.

Status: Normal.

Fatigue level: 1%.

Probability of injury: 1%.

Entry: [Perpetual motion machine], [Fast horse on the flank].

Li Yichuan possesses the same "enlightened player" trait as Quinn, and has already developed the "powerful cannon" long-range shooting attribute.

Unlike the "Piercing Arrow" skill, which is a long-range shooting skill exclusive to midfielders, the "Heavy Gunner" refers to players who can launch long-range shots from any area!

There are many representatives, but the most famous is none other than the former full-back Roberto Carlos, the "God of War" Batistuta!

Although Sun Yan doesn't have the "Enlightenment Type Player" attribute and can't have other skill modifiers, the two modifiers he already has are already very powerful when combined.

The "Fast Horse on the Wing" needs no introduction; the key point is its "Perpetual Motion Machine."

This refers to players who are "tireless," such as the famous defensive midfielder Gattuso and Park Ji-sung, who was nicknamed "Park the Three Lungs."

Just think about it, how terrifying is a player who can endlessly sprint down the wing?

One of these players is a power player, and the other is a speed player.

What's most commendable is that they have no negative keywords!

Of course, like most young players, they haven't developed technical skills and lack basic strength.

There's no rush; most players don't truly develop their skills until after they turn twenty.

It's rare to see a player like Murphy who has such technical attributes so early on.

As for the other three, they are not yet of interest to him.

Li Yanqing looked at Coach Wang and shook his head repeatedly.

Such promising talents, yet they can only waste their time here because of the unsuitable environment.

"How much longer do they have left on their contracts? Is the penalty for breach of contract still the same?"

As far as I can remember, these young players' contracts were usually signed until they turned twenty, with a penalty of 500,000 for breach of contract.

Although it's basically hopeless if players haven't signed a contract by the age of eighteen, contracts are usually signed until the age of twenty to prevent players from signing with other teams for free.

"Same as before, but the penalty for breach of contract is now one million."

"But it's okay, as long as I don't work in the football industry, I don't need to pay a penalty for breach of contract."

Coach Wang nodded, unaware that Li Yanqing was already planning to have Burton directly pay the buyout fee to poach the player.

One million Chinese yuan is less than 110,000 pounds.

Very cheap!
