Chapter 308 The Right Scene

In the second half, Li Yanqing substituted Blind, Ogradi, and Bradford.

The outcome of this match was essentially decided, as the opposing team, already behind, showed little desire to catch up.

The attack remained somewhat disorganized.

This kind of play cannot break through his heavily invested defense.

The only thing that gave Li Yanqing any hope for the game was seeing how Bradford's recovery was progressing.

Compared to the current main defensive line, his ability is somewhat lagging behind.

If his recovery doesn't go well, Li Yanqing is hesitant to let him play in the subsequent elimination rounds.

Now he suddenly understood why Bradford was so determined to retire.

As for Blind and Ogradi, they were simply given a chance to play because they haven't had many opportunities to play recently.

Li Yanqing had previously promised Blind a starting position, and although Blind performed reasonably well and had good chemistry with Ogradi, he still did not meet his expectations.

His poor defense is acceptable, but his offensive capabilities haven't been fully realized either.

After all, he can only serve as a passing option, unlike Marcelo who can directly play as a winger.

Ultimately, it's because Ogladi is just too bad.

There wasn't anyone on the flanks who could make a run and coordinate with him, which meant his impact wasn't always very noticeable.

In that sense, Bell is surprisingly suitable...

Li Yanqing was unaware that Bale was present; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have made such arrangements for the match.

The style of play that suits the opponent is one I also have.

......

On the field, Burton is currently dominating Feyenoord.

They don't have much offensive drive, but they're pretty good at defense.

They are a powerhouse in the country, not a weak team with no redeeming qualities.

In some aspects, their abilities are even exceptionally outstanding.

For example, now.

Burton want to improve their goal difference, but they can accept defeat, not their opponents scoring against them.

After a hard-fought battle for most of the game, Burton failed to score a second goal.

Li Yanqing's decision to bring on Blind and Ogradi together also implied that he wanted them to directly link up for an attack.

In the 73rd minute, Blind showcased his passing skills.

A high ball over the top!

However, his shot had a combination of an over-the-top pass and a cross from the byline.

Standing on the sideline of his own half, he took a shot and sent the ball directly towards the edge of the opponent's penalty area.

This is a very awkward position for goalkeepers, because they often cannot judge whether they should come out to attack.

This time, the opposing goalkeeper chose to wait in front of the goal.

Although Ogradi didn't have much of an advantage in terms of speed, he had the advantage of just coming on as a substitute. After a sprint, he arrived at the ball's base at the same time as the opposing defender.

"I support it!"

Heading is Ogradi's forte.

Unfortunately, the opposing defender was only a few centimeters shorter than him. Although he couldn't stop him, he did a good job of interfering with him.

After the two sides collided, neither managed to head the ball; instead, they both fell flat on their faces...

"What a waste of an opportunity!" Bell clenched his fist and slammed it into the palm of his other hand.

He could also tell that the newly introduced striker was a bit incompetent.

Both he and Ibrahimovic, who had just come off the field, had more appropriate ways of handling the situation.

Especially for him, these kinds of balls that seem difficult to catch are actually what he excels at.

After holding off the opposing defender, he turns sideways and volleys a stylish bicycle kick!

This was not difficult for him.

But this big, dumb guy only knows how to headbutt.

Even if they manage to reach the top, it will be difficult to get past the goalkeeper from such a distance.

"This guy is a substitute striker, so it's normal for him to be a bit weak."

"In addition, he is a player that Li brought over from the English Championship."

"I was even worse before."

"He's useless except for headers."

Kevin did remember the big guy; he was one of the few familiar faces on the team.

"But you don't need to worry, he's very reliable when the team is in crisis..."

“Worried? Oh, no, Kevin.” To everyone’s surprise, Bell shook his head decisively and said.

"I was just talking about this big vegetable, nothing more."

"That's not my focus."

"The key point is this pass!"

"The location was excellent! The timing was perfect too!"

"If I were there, even without using any advanced techniques, I could just rush over, grab the ball, and then be one-on-one with the goalkeeper!"

"Uh... I get it!" Kevin exclaimed in realization. "You mean, you're fast enough to outrun guards!"

“That’s a fine way to understand it…” Bell didn’t know how to explain it to Kevin in detail.

Anyway, this kind of situation is his forte.

As for Burton's forwards, Ibrahimovic's speed doesn't currently allow him to handle these kinds of balls, and Dybala can catch up with the ball, but he might not be able to shake off the opposing defenders.

Murphy has enough speed, but unfortunately he's a bit short. If it were him, the opposing goalkeeper would definitely have rushed out decisively.

This is the real reason why Blind couldn't perform to his full potential, as Li Yanqing mentioned before...

Burton's configuration is insufficient.

Even if Bale is not in good form, he can still fit perfectly into the current team!

Li Yanqing took out his phone and looked at it.

He did not receive any messages from Kevin.

At that moment, he genuinely felt a pang of regret, wishing the club had a Bale.

"Damn Kevin, you're so inefficient."

"When exactly is he going to bring Bell back to me?"

"Bring them back? Who?" Lyman, who was standing to the side, didn't quite catch the name Li Yanqing was referring to.

He was unaware that he had been in contact with Bell.

"It doesn't matter anymore, the match is over." Li Yanqing shook his head.

Not long after, the referee blew the final whistle to end the match.

They won 1-0, but head coach Li Yanqing couldn't be happy at all.

It's supposed to be a story about crushing weak opponents, but the ending seems to have taken a slightly different turn.

Let alone Bell, even if Anderson were here, they would have more ways to deal with the opponent's tight defense.

We still need to resolve the team's winger issue as soon as possible.

After his post-match interview, when he returned to his office, he found two people already sitting there.
