Chapter 85 Bad News

Burton Albion continued their good form in the league, defeating Wigan Athletic.

But in their very next game, they lost to Derby County.

The main reason for the loss was that Li Yanqing made extensive substitutions in this game.

Now that it's the second half of the season, he has to make choices whenever there are two games a week.

Li Yanqing chose to let his players get some rest.

Nasri, Jami, Matias, and other proud and formidable players were all relegated to the bench.

Their fatigue level is already very high.

Joe Hart didn't play in this match either, not because he was tired, but because Li Yanqing wanted to help veteran goalkeeper Biwat maintain his form.

In short, they lost again.

However, due to Huddersfield's points penalty, they have not yet fallen out of the top four despite their recent poor league performance.

"Li, West Bromwich Albion is very close to us in points."

"They're only one point behind us."

Chris is very dissatisfied with the team's recent performance and hopes that Burton can finish in the top two and secure a promotion spot.

Otherwise, even if they maintain their current ranking, they will still have to play in the playoffs.

No one would be willing to hold back in that kind of competition; it's bound to be a fierce battle.

Aston Villa, who are at the top of the table, have been performing exceptionally well this season. They are already far ahead in points, and there is little hope of catching up.

As for Swansea City, who are currently in second place, they are fifteen points ahead of them.

With fourteen rounds left in the league, the opponents are not weak, but if Burton team works hard, they still have a chance to overtake them.

"Let's take a look at the schedule and calculate how many more matches we have left with two games a week."

"Our main lineup is still quite strong, but we lack depth."

Li Yanqing was also frustrated by this, as he had tried his best to ensure that his main force could be fielded in full force.

Quinn, Murphy, Enzo, Sun Yan...

These young people haven't had much rest.

Murphy might be a little better, since he rarely plays the entire game.

However, the other few are generally not easily replaced.

As for Jami and Nasri, he simply didn't dare to let them start every game.

Quinn will occasionally take on the core responsibilities, and if he fails, Jamie and Matthias will assist him.

But sometimes Jami and Nasri aren't on the court, and the offense has to rely on some kind of magic.

We can only hope for Matthias's superhuman performance or Quinn's rarely used [Piercing Arrow] and [Flash of Brilliance].

This results in them performing well against most strong opponents, but consistently losing points against weaker teams.

"Let me see... there's only one chance left."

"But there was another time when we had three games in a week... if we didn't play in the FA Cup."

Chris didn't relax much because of this, since there have already been five games, and winning two of them would be considered a normal performance.

As a top-ranked team, Burton Albion's playing style has now been thoroughly studied by many Championship teams.

The situation where opponents lost due to carelessness, as happened last season, has basically not occurred again.

"Okay, I'll figure something out."

Li Yanqing nodded; in fact, he was already thinking of a solution.

At that moment, he was assisting Miss Fanny and the club's team doctor in preparing test reports for the players.

"how is the situation?"

"Not bad, most people don't have any problems."

Miss Fanny's judgment was reliable because it was not significantly different from the values ​​he had seen.

"Especially Quinn, he's as strong as an ox."

"Yes, his physical condition is really good," Li Yanqing affirmed.

In fact, based on Quinn's criteria, the most suitable model is still a bulldozer-like midfielder like De Bruyne.

However, the latter is very versatile in all aspects, especially his incredibly accurate passing, which Quinn will probably never catch up to in his lifetime.

If he weren't that strong, Sterling wouldn't be so happy.

"Matthias, Enzo, and Bradford are all very good."

Miss Fanny handed Li Yanqing all the documents she had prepared, except for the last one.

"However, Nasri's body is a bit strange."

“I’ve been here for a while now, but his health doesn’t seem to be improving at all.”

"If I want to fully recover my form, I'm afraid I'll have to take a long break from competition."

"That won't do." Li Yanqing frowned. The team couldn't do without him now.

Geographical and nationality factors aside, the other player is currently the most famous player in the Burton team.

Judging from his performance, he was the best, and no one could replace his role.

And if he doesn't play, where else can he find a midfield maestro to coach Quinn?

Although the latter's progress was not fast, it was still a remarkable improvement compared to when he partnered with Williamson.

"How long will the suspension last?"

Miss Fanny's answer left Li Yanqing in despair.

"It's hard to say, but things will recover once you stop."

"One year, two years, I don't know."

"If we continue the competition, it's uncertain when things might suddenly worsen..."

"Oh...this is absolutely terrible news." Li Yanqing slapped his forehead, trying to find other solutions.

The other party finally managed to regain their composure and overcome the influence of their "gluttony."

Unexpectedly, the sudden increase and decrease in weight led to health problems.

If the intensity of the competition is maintained, there may be no way to improve the situation.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any other options."

Miss Fanny looked at Li Yanqing with a little embarrassment.

She understood that this was an unsolvable problem.

Burton desperately needs Nasri, from every angle.

Continuing the match could worsen the situation, as for stopping the match...

Even if he recovers physically, he may not be able to find his footing in football again.

This is tantamount to her having already pronounced the end of the opponent's football career.

Li Yanqing was a little unsure whether he should tell the player about this.

If Nasri were to leave the team due to health reasons, he wouldn't be able to say anything to persuade him to stay.

I simply don't have the nerve to ask the other party to risk everything for the team.

But not speaking out would clearly violate his principles.

“It’s alright, Miss Fanny, this isn’t your problem.”

Ultimately, I can only blame myself...
