Chapter 12 Breaking the pot

"You can go back to the second team, Pamo."

"As long as I'm here, I won't need you."

"Either you wait until I leave and you guys are relegated back to League One, or I'll sell you after we've secured our place in the league."

Li Yanqing's tough stance took everyone by surprise.

How dare a temporary head coach disrespect Kevin?

Chris initially wanted to come over and offer some advice, but then he thought that this might be a good thing.

Why did he fail when he led the team himself? Wasn't it because he was too soft-hearted?

"Are you serious?"

This was probably the first time Palmer had encountered such a head coach as Li Yanqing, a head coach who was quite inexplicable.

How dare you disregard the team manager when your own position is not yet secure?

Do I look like I'm joking?

"If they have any objections, I can simply be removed at any time."

"Anyway, I'm just a temporary guy."

In a fit of anger, Li Yanqing decided to throw caution to the wind, since he had already kept Choduri around, which would be enough to satisfy Kevin.

As for Pamo, no matter what the other party thinks, he has no way of staying.

This seriously affected the unity of the locker room, and no head coach would like a player like that.

Actually, this kind of problem should be left to Bradford to handle.

But the opposing team had the support of their team manager, rendering his position as captain virtually meaningless.

If I had a player like Ibrahimovic under my command...

Li Yanqing sighed. Ibrahimovic's arrogance was based on his sufficient ability and prestige.

When he was at Manchester United, no one in the locker room dared to cause trouble.

Pogba, Martial, Rashford, Lingard...

Each of them was far more talented than Palmer, but they could only obediently follow behind as his underlings.

This is the importance of having an absolute leader.

Bradford is still a long way off.

"I bet he went to see Kevin again, Lee." Chris thought with some worry as he watched Palmer's departing figure.

"How do you plan to deal with this?"

Li Yanqing rolled his eyes. How should he deal with this? What else could he possibly do?

At worst, we'll all just get out of here.

"If you don't mind, you can let Will try to resolve this matter."

"It might not look very good, but it won't get you fired before the season is over."

Chris shrugged and offered a suggestion.

The former looked puzzled.

Will?

Could he really influence the manager's decision?

Chris responded with a slightly amused smile.

Two days later.

"Li, it's all done!"

"Kevin terminated Palmer's contract early, allowing him to leave the team as a free agent."

Chris brought good news early in the morning.

"Free to leave the team?"

"Kevin agreed?"

"He should still be able to sell it for a few hundred thousand, right?"

Li Yanqing's first reaction to this was not happiness, but rather "fuck it."

That's all my future transfer fees!

“Li, nothing is perfect. We always have to pay a price.”

Chris shook his head and said earnestly.

“Will blocked Kevin at the club’s entrance yesterday.”

“They’ve made it clear that if they don’t severely punish Pamo, they will stop buying any club merchandise and tickets.”

"That's really ruthless." Li Yanqing didn't expect that Will, that fat man reeking of alcohol, could do such a thing.

The club's sponsor is the brewery owned by the owner, Robinson.

It's difficult to get him to increase investment, so Will's move is equivalent to cutting off most of the club's financial revenue.

“I told him about the difficulties you were facing, and without saying a word, this kid brought the fans to block the door.”

"That's because we all know you're our only hope for staying in the league!"

"Keep up the good work, Li!"

"I will," Li Yanqing affirmed.

But is it really appropriate for these fanatical fans to do this?

Kevin and Robinson would definitely believe that he instigated Will to do it!

He seemed to suddenly understand what Chris had said yesterday.

They won't fire him before the season ends, but they'll completely ignore his fate next season, right?

Oh well, what's done is done, and there's nothing I can change.

The competition is more important right now.

Today is match day, with Burton Athletic playing away against Reading.

They now have sixteen points, tied for last place with Barnsley.

Blackburn, third from bottom, drew in the last round and now have 21 points.

If they can continue to score three points, they will be only two points behind Blackburn.

There are four more matches to go, and their chances of avoiding relegation are very high.

In terms of lineup, Jami and Ogradi remain on the bench, while Choudhury, who has returned to the first team, starts.

However, this young man's luck was really bad.

Their opponent, Reading, was a formidable team, having won the Championship twice. Although they failed to establish themselves in the Premier League and were relegated that season, they remained a strong opponent for Burton Albion.

They conceded a goal right at the start of the game.

The incident stemmed from a positioning error by Choudhury, which allowed the opposing team to create a numerical advantage in their own penalty area.

Conceding a goal so early is a huge blow to Burton's morale.

In less than thirty minutes, the game had turned into the opponent's playground.

Poor Choudhury was completely stunned. Already lacking in strength, he was repeatedly toyed with by the opponent's midfield.

After finally getting back to a "normal" state, it turned into a "terrible" state again.

Of course, the others weren't much better off.

Most people became "average," only Captain Bradford remained "preferred."

Li Yanqing was prepared to lose the match, but there was one thing he couldn't accept.

That is, Quinn, whom he had high hopes for, suddenly plummeted from "excellent" to "poor" like a roller coaster.

Something is wrong!

It's common for young players to encounter setbacks, but some can bounce back while others never recover.

Even if we lose this match, we still have a chance to avoid relegation.

If Quinn is gone, he won't find another one.

"Let's change players, Chris."

"What? But it's only been 30 minutes!" Chris said, somewhat puzzled.

They are only one goal behind in the score and still have a chance in the second half.

Moreover, judging from the previous two matches, Li Yanqing should be quite adept at changing tactics in the second half to achieve unexpected victories.

If a substitution is made at this point, the opponent will likely gain complete control of the game's rhythm.

It's no different from simply raising the white flag.

He didn't know that the core reason for the two previous comebacks was that Li Yanqing had controlled the players' form.

If everything is "extremely poor," even the best tactics are useless.

"Take Quinn off the roster."

"Bring Williamson in, replacing Choudhury. Choudhury, drop back to defense..."
