Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 23 Season End Day

Back in his temporary rented apartment, Li Yanqing didn't forget to call Mourinho.

For Manchester United, the season is now over.

They failed to snatch the league title from Manchester City, but thanks to Mourinho's efforts, they still won the Europa League.

However, his own situation is not good.

Despite achieving Manchester United's best result since Ferguson's retirement, Ed Woodward was still very dissatisfied with the club's performance.

He felt that the results did not reflect his efforts, and their relationship is now on the verge of collapse.

"I've heard about what happened to you. The media has been making a huge fuss about you these past two days."

"This is not a good thing. Robinson has already spoken to me, and he may not continue to use you next season."

"But I still have to say, well done! Li, that was a fantastic performance!"

Mourinho was certainly aware of the news in the media; in fact, he was quite grateful to Li Yanqing.

The things the other party did even overshadowed his own controversy with Woodward at one point.

Li Yanqing also learned for the first time about Robinson's attitude towards him.

Regardless of his grades, it seems that he has already been identified by the other party as the kind of person who is likely to cause trouble.

"Thank you, Joseph."

"But what Robinson thinks is no longer important. Even if I don't stay here, I have other places to go."

"I've received several calls asking if I'm interested in coaching..."

Li Yanqing wasn't exaggerating; several clubs approached him after the competition.

They're all at a low level, just clubs in the English First Division.

For him, staying at Burton would be the best option, but if he couldn't, it wouldn't matter, as he already had some fame.

"That's great, you're on the right track..."

Li Yanqing didn't talk to Mourinho for very long; he could sense a hint of fatigue in the other man's voice.

However, he didn't have time to worry about the other party for the time being.

It now seems that Robinson didn't have a good opinion of himself.

Does this mean I really have to go to the English First Division?

The next day.

The season is officially over, and the players are about to begin their vacation.

Some players' contracts have expired, or they have already decided to transfer to other clubs; seven players will leave the club today.

This includes players like center Bwin, who was dropped by Li Yanqing.

Surprisingly, Williamson, the veteran free-kick specialist who made great contributions in the last month, also decided to leave the team.

He's getting old and has decided to retire in a lower-level league.

Li Yanqing didn't try to persuade him to stay, after all, he himself didn't know if he would stay.

Another group of people are waiting for news.

For example, if Li Yanqing had stayed, then Choudhury, who was also dropped from the team, would have sought a transfer.

"I don't know what to say, but good luck, Lee."

"By the way, Will's planning a party tonight, you'd better not miss it."

Chris patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder. For the past month, he and Will's fan club had been Li Yanqing's staunchest supporters.

They can threaten Kevin, but they can't use the same tactics on Robinson.

The latter is not only the club president, but also the owner of a winery that Burton is proud of, and is highly respected locally, including by his family.

"I'll be there."

Li Yanqing nodded. Even if he couldn't stay, it was still necessary to say goodbye to these lovely fans.

"Don't look so down, boss, things will get better."

"You are the best head coach I have ever seen!"

"If you want to leave, I will also apply for a transfer."

The speaker was Jamie, currently the team's most reliable offensive core.

"You're leaving? I'm afraid that won't work, Jamie!"

Li Yanqing quickly shook his head. He had basically abandoned all the players who could play as the core. If Jamie also left, Burton would almost certainly have to rebuild next season.

"I don't have any attachment to this place, to be honest, if it weren't for the decent salary."

Jamie shrugged, looking indifferent, and then pointed into the crowd.

"It's not just me, O'Grady, Bradford, Bendtner, and even that kid Murphy, they've all made the same decision."

“If you leave, we will all request a transfer.”

"Are you trying to force me to resign?" Li Yanqing smiled helplessly; he understood the players' intentions perfectly well.

It was also surprising that they were willing to offend the club for their own sake in just one month.

However, given Robinson's personality, doing so would most likely backfire.

"Anyway, you won't be here by then. Before you come, I have no idea how frustrating this season has been for me."

"With our skill level, we can still find a job at other Championship teams."

"If all else fails, we'll terminate our contract and come to you for help!"

Li Yanqing had no doubt about Jamie's words; with his skill level, he was good enough to be a substitute in the Premier League.

But the others, except for Murphy, are all difficult.

"By the way, boss, go check on Quinn."

"That kid was really sad when he found out you probably wouldn't stay."

Speaking of Quinn, this young man who has been a starter in every game since being promoted by Li Yanqing is probably the one he has the best relationship with.

He even helped the other party secure a good contract.

Meanwhile, Quinn was sitting alone on the training field, her eyes red and looking like she had just been crying.

"Hey kid, are you crying?"

The arrival of Li Yanqing made this boy, who was already 1.8 meters tall, a little unable to hold back.

He has always considered himself an ordinary person, and not the most outstanding one in the youth training camp.

But after Li Yanqing promoted him, he placed almost complete trust in him.

He was even willing to give up the game for him, a treatment that even Murphy, a recognized prodigy in the youth training team, didn't receive.

If none of these things had happened, he would probably be working as a laborer at the docks by now.

"Boss, I..."

“I really want to support you, but I’m sorry, I can’t leave here like they did.”

"The salary is quite good; if I leave, my mother will be unhappy..."

"It's alright, kid," Li Yanqing said, patting his head to comfort him.

"Even if I'm still here next season, I'll leave someday."

"Apart from Ferguson and Wenger, no coach can stay at a club for more than ten years."

"Just focus on playing well, and I believe you can become an amazing player."

Li Yanqing spoke very seriously.

This kid possesses the "Sudden Enlightenment Player" trait, and in a short period of time, he has successively acquired the attributes "Piercing Arrow" and "Flash of Brilliance".

Unless they suffer any major injuries or illnesses, it would be difficult for them not to achieve great things.

Quinn nodded vigorously after hearing this.

"I definitely will, I will become an amazing player!"
