Chapter 285 The Effectiveness of Training

In stoppage time, Dybala scored another goal.

He completed his first hat-trick since joining Burton, bringing the final score to 4-1.

Burton fans have surely fallen completely in love with this charming striker.

On their official website, there are also a large number of fan comments hoping to increase the players' playing time.

After all, in most cases the head coach only lets him play for half the game.

It seems that the match time limited the number of hat tricks he could score.

Li Yanqing naturally ignored this suggestion.

The reason for not letting players play the full 90 minutes most of the time is for their physical well-being.

What Li Yanqing should really focus on is the players' growth.

Since the training system was completed, Burton has adopted this relatively more scientific training method.

The only problem is that more people are needed because most players have their own specialized training.

Besides Nave, Lehman, and Cheng Mengmeng, some members of John's team were also assigned by Li Yanqing to observe the players' training.

They were mainly responsible for observation; the real instructors of the players' skills were Nave and Lehmann.

After this period of training and matches, some players have shown significant improvement.

Matthias has made the most progress.

Name: Marco Mattias

Age: 29 years old.

Status: Good.

Fatigue level: 25%.

Probability of injury: 10%.

Terms: [Master-level marking], [Passing the ball past the defender], [Fast winger on the wing]

After a year-long entanglement with Pogba, Burton's "best enforcer" has successfully mastered "master-level man-marking" without ever having a technical skill attribute.

It's a miracle.

With his talent, the best he could hope for was to become a substitute in a top league.

But now he has become an indispensable member of the Burton team.

Perhaps he can succeed Miller and become the second defensive winger...

Name: Joe Hart

Age: 33 years old.

Status: Good.

Fatigue level: 10%.

Probability of injury: 2%.

Keywords: [Master-level goal-scoring], [Covering up], [Defensive encouragement], [Defensive goalkeeper]

Then there's Joe Hart.

In this player, not only metaphysics are flourishing, but also mental attributes.

After serving as vice-captain for over a year, he mastered the [Defensive Inspiration] skill!

Especially during the period when Bradford was absent, he was basically in charge of the entire defense.

It's safe to say that he should be able to teach others how to fill in for others now without much trouble.

Besides, although the others did not master any new skill entries, their overall strength improved considerably.

It's mainly the young players.

After serving as a rotation player for over a year, Kwadona not only mastered technical skills but also elevated his abilities to near-starter level this season.

His role on the flanks is becoming increasingly apparent, and if he could upgrade one of his skills to Master level, he would be even more formidable.

Keep in mind he's only nineteen years old!

Li Yanqing has decided to give him more opportunities in the upcoming matches, and he will become the dominant force on Burton's left flank in the future.

Araujo made even greater progress than him.

He made more appearances than Kvaradona.

Their performance has been consistently average, not particularly outstanding, but they haven't let us down either.

This is what Li Yanqing likes most about him; after all, a defender needs to be reliable.

But his performance has improved dramatically this season.

Perhaps the abundance of defenders among the new signings made him feel a bit threatened. This kid is now not only solid defensively, but he can also help a lot with passing the ball.

Although he is still not as good as Manolas, given time, he will surely surpass him.

This is the view held by many, including Manolas himself.

The only pity is that after Cazorla returned to Arsenal, Burton had no other player with short passing combinations.

This prevented him from fully utilizing his abilities.

However, it's not a big problem; their current performance is already good enough.

There are also some players who have made small improvements, but I won't list them all.

Correspondingly, there are certainly some players who have regressed.

It's mainly the group of veterans we recruited earlier.

Ibrahimovic, whose form has declined the most, is still unstoppable when he is in good physical condition.

But this timeframe is getting shorter and shorter.

As mentioned before, there is no solution to this problem.

It's purely due to the players' age causing a decline in physical strength.

However, at the age of 37, it is already quite remarkable that he can still deliver an excellent performance in the first half of every game.

Far surpassing most veterans.

Then it's Pepe.

He is 35 years old this year, which is better than Ibrahimovic's situation.

Because he was still able to stay on for the entire game and put on a good performance.

Li Yanqing didn't expect him to work so hard unless there was absolutely no need for it.

His significance to the team lies more in helping other players develop.

This man was once one of the world's top defenders. He could solve almost any problem that Manolas encountered, let alone Araujo.

His problem is that his rest periods after playing are getting longer and longer...

However, judging from his salary, he was practically working for free.

Li Yanqing had nothing to complain about.

Finally, I must mention David Lewis.

As the team's main attacking threat, he scored twelve goals last season.

For a defender, this is quite an outrageous achievement, exceeding the goal tally of most forwards.

Although he is only 31 years old, his frequent forward runs cause him to expend a lot of energy in each game.

Their form also declines faster than other types of players.

The most obvious change is that the frequency of his [Master-level Backstab] has been greatly reduced.

Of course, this is relative to before.

He still tries to get two points four or five times in each game...

Li Yanqing was hesitant to comment on whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Judging from the lineup, the team doesn't really need him to participate in the attack so frequently anymore; the forwards are capable of solving problems on their own.

It also allows them to focus more on defense.

However, for him personally, there has been a noticeable change in his playing style.

The defensive midfield position has become a bit difficult for him.

If he wants to complete a large-scale sweep now, his physical strength will decline very quickly.

But it doesn't have much of an impact when playing as a defender.

However, if Li Yanqing uses him as a defensive midfielder, he doesn't need to have a wide range of ability to cover the backfield; Lars Bender will do that.

Playing as a defensive midfielder is generally easier than a defender making overlapping runs.

In general, Burton is not what it used to be.

Robinson invested a lot of money in the transfer market, while Li Yanqing almost never made a wrong purchase.

Each one of them fulfilled its value.

This is the most important reason for their phenomenal performance this season...
