Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 43 Training Match

At the post-match press conference, Huddersfield's manager vehemently criticized Burton's behavior.

Including coaches, players, fans, and so on, none of these people are innocent in this coach's eyes.

Quinn's provocation and the ensuing conflict between fans were described as a premeditated "violent incident."

Furthermore, they have filed a complaint with the English Football Association.

"Does everything they say go true, Chris?"

“I’m also going to file a complaint against them. My players were verbally abused and physically assaulted by the opposing team while playing at their stadium.”

"The fans were also forced into a conflict, and our fan club president is lying right next to me right now."

"Complain and report it!"

When Li Yanqing talked to Chris about this, he was not afraid at all. He said, "Just come on, it's all stuff that's hard to explain anyway."

Ultimately, the FA will likely just fine both sides.

Aside from the fact that Pamo, who physically assaulted someone, will definitely face further punishment, there's nothing else wrong; we just need to wait for the outcome.

The bad news is that Burton's momentum has waned slightly after consecutive victories against Fulham and Huddersfield.

Unable to regain their normal rhythm, they lost 0-1.

The good news is that their head coach, Li Yanqing, has been successfully discharged from the hospital.

Eleven rounds of the Championship have been played, with Burton Albion having five wins, four losses, and two draws, accumulating seventeen points and ranking eighth.

Aston Villa tops the table with nine wins and two draws, accumulating 29 points and leading the pack by a wide margin.

Swansea City, who are second, are six points behind.

Li Yanqing was fairly satisfied with the result. There were still thirteen games left in the first half of the competition, and they had basically already played against their tough opponents.

For the rest of the matches, just go all out and rack up points.

"Li, the punishment results are in."

"Because of the fan conflict, both we and Huddersfield were fined 200,000."

"As for Palmer, he was suspended for five games, while Quinn was not punished."

Chris immediately reported the FA's decision.

"See, I told you there wouldn't be any problems," Li Yanqing said with a smile.

"As for other matters, we will not respond and will refuse media interviews."

The other thing he mentioned was the previously publicized case of a hired assassination.

"By the way, also report their financial problems and request an investigation."

"In short, let the media guess for themselves; in fact, we should just keep attacking them."

"You want all teams to target them?"

Chris understood Li Yanqing's intention: to make the other party suffer the same treatment that Millwall had received.

After all, hiring someone to attack the opposing coach is far more excessive than playing more aggressively during the game.

To achieve this goal, all teams must work together to target them.

"Of course, this matter won't end so easily."

Coach Wang has been deported back to China and will soon face legal consequences.

But Chen Yi is still alive and kicking, and Li Yanqing has no intention of letting them go after winning just one match.

If they fail to gain promotion to the Premier League, all these investments will be wasted, and they certainly won't be able to retain the high-level stars they've acquired.

The best way to vent our anger would be to relegate them to League One, but unfortunately that's not very realistic.

......

"Welcome back, boss!"

On the training ground, the Burton team players were already lined up, waiting for their head coach to return.

Although they just lost a game, the latter will not blame them for it.

They were the ones who really helped him vent his anger.

"Alright, guys, let me see how much progress you've made lately."

"If you keep standing still, I'll have to abandon you for the second half of the season!"

"Now, divide into groups and have a friendly match!"

Having just returned, Li Yanqing is eager to test the team's level.

He spent a week in the hospital, only able to watch live streams and game recordings, which almost drove him crazy!

Chris and Cheng Mengmeng sat next to him, and the three of them acted as referees.

Soon, the competition began.

Li Yanqing first observed the entries, especially those about the young players led by Quinn.

Disappointingly, there were no surprises.

They still haven't mastered the technical terms, and Sun Yan has actually made the most progress.

Since switching to full-back, he seems to have found a sense of belonging. Apart from his lack of awareness in covering for positions, he's become quite good at everything else.

Especially when it comes to marking people, this kid is already fast, and once he gets on your heels, it's hard for him to get away.

In this scrimmage, apart from the experienced Jamie occasionally managing to break through his defense, the other forwards basically couldn't find any opportunities.

"Maybe he's just not suited to play forward."

"Even with the special training you arranged for him, he hasn't made any progress at all."

Cheng Mengmeng expressed her helplessness about this. She did hope that her cousin could become a super winger, but that path was clearly not suitable for him.

Regarding veterans, no new entries were added, but Li Yanqing was surprised to find that one entry had disappeared.

Thirty-five-year-old goalkeeper Biwat originally had a negative label associated with ADHD.

For goalkeepers, this kind of attribute can actually increase their save success rate, but it can also cause them to occasionally make butterfingers-type mistakes.

But when I observed him again this time, I found that he had evolved into a blank slate player.

This is a pretty good discovery.

I wonder if it can help with more serious negative terms, such as "butterfingers" or "traitor," which are easy to affect one's mood.

Apart from a few individuals, the skill level of the rest of the participants remained largely unchanged.

It seems that he will still need to buy a good defensive midfielder after the first half of the season ends.

When they played Huddersfield Town before, the defensive midfielder Baselli, who was poached by the opposing team, almost made Li Yanqing drool.

The opponent's defense was so solid in the first half, and he deserves most of the credit.

Li Yanqing recalled Leicester City's championship miracle in 2016.

He has always believed that the biggest contributor was not the forwards like Mahrez and Okazaki, but their defensive midfielder Kanté!

Sun Yan's coverage area is quite similar to the opponent's.

"Sun Yan! Try kicking me in the defensive midfield position!"

Li Yanqing immediately put this idea to the test.

Although it would disable the "fast winger" trait, if he could be converted into a defensive midfielder, he would be much more useful than a full-back.

"Okay, I'm overthinking it."

Ten minutes later, Li Yanqing gave up on the idea.

The latter was completely lost in the defensive midfield position and needed others to cover for him.

However, this reminded Li Yanqing of Li Yichuan, whom he had sent to the youth training team.

I haven't paid any attention to this kid's performance since I brought him to Burton.

The opponent plays as a defender, so he might be a good candidate to be converted into a defensive midfielder!
