Without a doubt, the player in the Tottenham squad who poses the greatest threat to Burton is Kane.

He is quite versatile, capable of dropping back to receive passes, positioning himself as a target man, and shooting effectively.

This was also clearly reflected on the field.

When Burton's formation is loose, he usually pushes up next to Bradford and Araujo, ready to pose a threat at any time.

When they retreat from their formation, they will return to the center to receive the ball and create opportunities for their teammates.

Less than twenty minutes into the game, he had already broken Burton's formation several times with his individual skills.

Then the opposing player easily cut inside into the penalty area.

Before the opponent could even use any other tactics, Burton's team was already at a complete disadvantage.

“It seems that Burton’s strength is not on the same level as his opponent at all.”

"They haven't launched any effective attacks yet, but they've already faced several major crises in front of their own goal."

"If it weren't for Joe Hart's outstanding performance, they would have conceded at least two goals by now..."

The on-site commentary was already quite tactful; in Li Yanqing's opinion, the other side had at least four good opportunities.

The good news is that they haven't conceded a goal yet, so the players can at least maintain a good mentality.

"Give me the ball!"

"We need to run deeper into the area later, otherwise it won't be very effective."

"Especially on both sides..."

On the field, Quinn is directing the attack.

So far, the players are still willing to listen to him, after all, Bradford has already told them that he is in charge of today's offense.

The one who has the best chemistry with Quinn is definitely Murphy.

Upon hearing this, the latter was already prepared to draw fire.

He hoped his teammates could create openings to facilitate an attack from the middle.

However, it was clear that neither Corradina nor Mattias on either side understood his meaning.

He ran for the empty space on his own.

Ultimately, Quinn, waiting for an opportunity, was besieged in the middle and lost possession of the ball once again.

Then came the opponent's counterattack.

Son Heung-min dribbled forward at high speed, bypassing Enzo and Lars Bender.

After reaching the baseline, it passed in an inverted triangle pattern.

Harry Kane's masterful volley!

Joe Hart couldn't save the team this time. He had already tried to block Son Heung-min's shooting angle earlier, but he was too far away to even make a save.

We're down 0-1!

"We can't keep attacking like this; we're too far forward."

"Think of a way!"

Matthias shouted at Quinn, hoping the latter would change tactics.

This kind of play isn't sustainable; the opponent can create threats with every counter-attack.

"Pull the opposing players to the sides!"

"Kick as I say!"

Quinn frowned; he didn't think there was anything wrong with his tactics.

It was entirely because my teammates didn't understand what I meant.

Matthias wasn't the only one who questioned Quinn; Justin was on the other side as well.

He rushed to a position further forward than Cavaladona, and then waved for the ball.

Having just mastered the skill of "passing by like a pro," he was bursting with confidence.

However, Quinn did not pass the ball to him, but instead tried to pass it to Murphy in front of him.

"pass it to me!"

"Quinn!"

"I can take it to the bottom line too!"

Justin was very unhappy that Quinn ignored him. Murphy's position was good, but he was also the one most people were watching.

"I already told them to pull the people to the side of the road, what are you still doing there?"

"If you want to join the attack, move closer to the middle!"

Quinn was equally dissatisfied with the opponent's performance. He found that the biggest problem was not his own tactics, but that his teammates often failed to understand them.

But this is a competition, how can he have time to explain everything one by one?

What exactly did Nasri do...?

The repeated failed attacks gradually made Burton's young men more and more irritable.

It even seems to be spreading to the backcourt.

"Justin! Come back!"

"We'll do whatever Quinn says!"

"Don't let others laugh at us!"

Bradford decisively chose to continue supporting Quinn, knowing that the latter was the player Li Yanqing valued most.

However, this only made Justin more resentful.

When he was questioned last time, he learned to dribble past opponents with ease and made several brilliant dribbling moves.

He felt that there was no problem with the team attacking from his side.

On the contrary, Bradford and Quinn haven't seemed to have played any significant roles...

"This is bad, Li."

"I told you Quinn wouldn't convince everyone."

"How about we make some adjustments now?"

Lehmann's concerns came true; he feared that if things continued this way, the players would start fighting amongst themselves.

"Let's wait and see," Li Yanqing said, indicating that he wasn't in a hurry.

"It's normal for Justin to be unconvinced; there aren't many people in the team he can respect."

"As for Quinn, even if his tactics are sound, we'll still have a hard time winning."

"Don't forget that the opponent is Tottenham."

Lehmann is right; this match wasn't a good opportunity to develop any particular player.

This isn't a match where you can easily crush a noob; if you lose, you'll easily be blamed.

But seeing Li Yanqing's calm demeanor, he was unsure how to offer any advice.

"Stop watching, we were going to give up on this match anyway."

"Quinn just happened to come to me, so I let him give it a try."

"Winning the game is a miracle from Jesus, but it's okay if we don't win."

"This setback will not defeat him; on the contrary, it will help him grow."

Seeing Lyman's conflicted expression, Li Yanqing explained it to him.

"He's had a bit too good a season."

"The team's current performance is quite good, which may make the players underestimate their own abilities."

"Veterans don't have many of these problems, but it's better for younger players to be more clear-headed."

"Not just Quinn, but Justin and the others are the same in this regard."

"Anyway, no matter how they play, they can regain their confidence in the next two matches..."

Lyman didn't argue; his only confusion was...

Is it really that easy to regain the confidence that has been painstakingly cultivated?

Think of poor Karius...
