Chapter 99 Goal: Upgrade

Li Yanqing does not want to trade any of his players to Manchester United.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Woodward. Because of him, Mourinho is now facing unprecedented difficulties there.

Pogba and the head coach have completely fallen out, and now it seems that the CEO is more willing to side with the player.

He felt that even if it was a wealthy family there, Enzo or Quinn wouldn't end up well if they went.

Their midfield includes Pogba, McTominay, Pereira, Lingard...

They are either star players or young talents produced by Manchester United's own youth academy.

The head coach was at a disadvantage when he had conflicts with them, not to mention the other young players who transferred there.

Do these young Burton players, who have never played in the Premier League, really have any chance?

This is a better place for them to grow, and this is where they are needed more.

As for Mourinho, if he needs support after leaving Manchester United, Li Yanqing will do everything he can.

But not now.

"Li, come and take a look at the latest data analysis."

On the other side, Chris had already organized his information and then projected it onto the big screen.

Should I give the summary?

“Yes, you come here.” Li Yanqing sat down below. Chris was more suited to doing this kind of explanation to the team members.

This is their habit; they review the team's recent performance every month.

However, since there were only Li Yanqing, Chris, and Cheng Mengmeng before, there was no need to be so formal.

Now that Miss Fanny and Neville have joined the fray, Li Yanqing feels it's necessary to take them seriously.

"Okay, let's talk about the FA Cup first."

"We were lucky to win the last game, and in fact, we were just as lucky to win the game against West Ham."

"There are too many unpredictable factors. If we had to do it all over again, we would definitely lose."

"The first thing to acknowledge is that we still have a significant gap to close with Premier League teams..."

“Yes,” Neville agreed.

In addition to training, he is now also responsible for investigating and analyzing the situation of other clubs.

"Although Arsenal fielded some key players, they were mostly veterans, and they did not use their usual lineup."

"They've been using this season's FA Cup to find their form and practice tactics."

"Moreover, Professor Wenger should also be preparing to rejuvenate the team."

"Our victory was unexpected, but actually not that unexpected."

"The match against West Ham better reflects our true level..."

Li Yanqing had no objections. These kinds of meetings require a realistic analysis of the issues; simply boasting about how strong the team is is meaningless.

Anyway, there were no players on the field.

"The next match is the FA Cup final against Chelsea, which is about the trophy, so they definitely won't hold back."

"To reiterate, we must continue to focus on upgrading."

"Miss Fanny, your tasks will be very heavy in the final period..."

Chris got straight to the point with hardcore content, which made Miss Fanny a little sleepy.

She didn't understand tactics very well, nor was she clear about the specific training details.

Aside from the fact that her job as a nutritionist is associated with athletes, she is no different from an ordinary fan.

She only snapped out of her daze when her name was mentioned.

"The last part of the second half of the league season is usually when players have the most problems."

"Especially these guys, they're going to fight tooth and nail in the FA Cup because of Jamie."

"But unfortunately, we can't stop them."

"So, Miss Fanny, I'm counting on you."

“Especially Nasri…”

Li Yanqing bowed to Miss Fanny.

He was very serious when he asked the other party for a favor.

Nasri played just as hard in the last game, which has kept his injury probability at 47%, and it will soon break the 50% mark.

Most of the time, the players wouldn't disobey his orders, but when they chose to act recklessly for the sake of their teammates, Li Yanqing would stand firmly with them.

He would never say to the players, "No, our goal is promotion, so you have to give up the FA Cup, even if it's for Jamie."

In fact, he was the one who most wanted to win a trophy for Jamie!

“Yes, I will.” Miss Fanny nodded solemnly.

"The team doctor here is very good. If we need more specialized testing equipment, we will ask Dr. Strange for help."

"Don't worry."

"Okay, the previous points were summaries, but what follows is the main point."

Li Yanqing nodded and walked to Chris's seat; it was now his turn to host.

"Our next goal is to finish second, knock Swansea City down, and then secure a spot in the Premier League."

"I don't want to go to the playoffs or anything like that, and I believe you all feel the same way."

"Nine games remain..."

Burton Albion are currently in fourth place, six points behind third-placed Stoke City and nine points behind second-placed Swansea City.

Nine rounds of league play, theoretically the highest possible score is 27 points, plus two direct matches against rivals.

In the final stages of the league, these were two matches worth six points each.

Of the remaining opponents, they were the strongest; Li Yanqing felt that the other teams were not to be feared.

Anyway, they haven't had three games a week this season; at most, they've had two games.

There are no problems with physical fitness either.

Just play your best and wait patiently for your opponent to make a mistake.

"Oh, and I also received some good news."

At the end of the meeting, Chris said with a mysterious expression.

"Just now, Barker and the Chairman have finalized a big deal!"

"If we are successfully promoted, the bonuses and sponsorships for the newly promoted team will amount to at least £60 million in transfer fees!"

"Sixty million? It's already confirmed?"

The person most excited about this was Li Yanqing.

The total value of the entire Burton team right now is less than 60 million!

Nasri was sold off at a bargain price for less than three million.

Joe Hart is currently on loan, but Manchester City will certainly not make things difficult for this veteran player's transfer. It will most likely be a free transfer or a bargain deal, making it easier for him to get a high salary.

If we only consider net worth, it should be around ten million.

Then there's Matthias for around six million, Jamie and Bradford for three million.

Turner and Miller can only sell for a maximum of one million.

Enzo, Quinn, Murphy, and Sun Yan are all young players who aren't really worth much these days.

At most a few million now.

However, if they are successfully promoted this season and can put on a good performance in the Premier League next season, their market value will definitely skyrocket.

In short, this number has exceeded his expectations.
