Football: I can see player entries

Burton Athletic's home ground, Riverside Stadium.

Burton Town is located on the Trent River.

Li Yanqing hurried and finally arrived here before the game started.

On the way here, he had already understood how critical the current situation was.

After 40 rounds of the Championship, they only won one game and drew seven games, with ten points, ranking last.

The only good news is that the relegation opponents Barnsley and Blackburn are also in a very bad situation, with 16 points and 20 points respectively.

Their opponent in this game, Newcastle United, is currently ranked first in the Championship, with the same points as Aston Villa, which ranks second, and the only difference is in goal difference.

It can be imagined that this will be a one-sided massacre.

Even the fans of the home team are sparsely seated, and no one is willing to watch their home team being ravaged by other clubs at will.

This is a rare thing in the British Isles with a strong football atmosphere.

However, this does not mean that Li Yanqing's watching the game is meaningless.

In his opinion, the head coach is like a doctor, and his job is to solve all the symptoms.

The first thing to do is to find out the cause.

The game started.

He took out the notebook he carried with him and recorded the entry panel of each player who played for Burton Athletic.

The first thing was to understand his future players.

The conclusion was of course not very good.

Most of the players were at the level of English League One, and only a few of them could catch his eye.

Name: Bradford.

Age: 29.

Condition: Poor.

Fatigue value: 60%.

Injury probability: 20%.

Entry: [Iron Guard].

First is the team's captain Bradford, who plays as a right back. He is in his prime, has comprehensive abilities, and is very tough.

Name: Jamie Ward.

Age: 30.

Condition: Very poor.

Fatigue value: 70%.

Injury probability: 25%.

Entry: [Fast Wing].

Then there is the team's new player this season, Jamie, who is also the main firepower point and has scored seven goals this season.

Name: Williamson.

Age: 34.

Condition: Very poor.

Fatigue value: 50%.

Injury probability: 30%.

Term: [Free kick expert].

Finally, there is the 34-year-old veteran Williamson, who has mediocre ability, but his free kick level is very good.

As for the rest, there are only blank slates and those who are worse than blank slates.

For example, the team's offensive core Palmo and the young player Choudhury who was entrusted with an important task.

Name: Palmo.

Age: 23 years old.

Condition: Very poor.

Fatigue value: 20%.

Injury probability: 5%.

Term: [Slacking player].

Palmo, as the team's offensive core, performed well in English League One, but his performance has been extremely bleak since he renewed his contract this year.

He was beaten in the middle, and he deserves credit.

Name: Choudhury.

Age: 19 years old.

Condition: Very poor.

Fatigue value: 40%.

Injury probability: 10%.

Term: [Traitor】，【I go my own way].

Choudhury, who came from Burton Athletic's own youth training, can be regarded as a representative of young people.

He also made great contributions on the road to the team's promotion, but after coming to the Championship, the disadvantages of being too weak and his own character flaws were revealed.

In Li Yanqing's words, what level is this guy, dare to take the same negative entry as Pogba?

At this time, the game has come to the second half.

Burton has lost four goals and their mentality has been completely blown up.

After losing the head coach, their situation has become more difficult.

It was not easy to maintain a formation on the field, but in a blink of an eye, they were rushed to pieces by the opponent.

The roar of captain Bradford was also drowned in the shouts of the opponent's fans.

In the end, they were bloodbathed by the opponent 0-7 in this game.

The loss was extremely humiliating.

Li Yanqing also frowned.

The problem is more serious than he thought.

These players have been completely beaten into a mess.

Mourinho is right, it is a hell-level challenge for them to stay in the league.

Premier League? hehe......

"Hello, I am Li Yanqing."After the game, Li Yanqing came to an office.

Opposite him sat a white-haired old man in a suit and tie.

Ben Robinson, the chairman of Burton Athletic.

Unlike Manchester United, who appointed Woodward as CEO and was fully responsible for the club's affairs, he was more like a traditional British boss, personally in charge of the club.

"Li? You're a little late. I've been waiting for you for an hour."It can be seen that Robinson's face is not good.

The club that has worked hard to run is about to be relegated, and just now it was beaten 0-7 by the opponent. No one can be happy.

"I was just watching the game in the audience, and I think it is more important, sir."

Li Yanqing replied as a matter of course

"Whatever, it doesn't matter, this is your contract."

A contract that had been prepared long ago was pushed in front of him. Obviously Mourinho had already discussed it with Robinson.

But the other party's performance made Li Yanqing sigh in his heart. Just like what he thought before, he was just looking for someone to take the blame and had no intention of reusing him.

As for the contract, it was only a temporary contract until the end of this season.

There was no extra words.

This was certainly not what he wanted.

"Sir, I want to add something to the contract."

"For example, if I can lead the team to avoid relegation......"

Hearing this, Robinson's eyes seemed to flash a little, but then dimmed quickly.

Obviously, he didn't believe it, but he nodded slowly.

"As expected of Jose's student, it is a good thing for young people to have confidence."

"I don't mind adding an additional clause, although I don't think it will have any effect."

The other party is only 25 years old, which is a fatal point in his eyes.

If it weren't for Mourinho's recommendation, it would be impossible to let this Chinese come to practice.

Yes, he thought that the other party was just here for practice.

After all, he no longer had any hope for the team to stay in the league.

Soon, he added a clause to the end of the contract.

If Li Yanqing can lead the team to successfully stay in the league, then he will get a formal three-year contract.

"Currently, the team's training and command work is in the charge of assistant coach Chris. You can go to him to discuss the next steps."

"I'll be away for a while"

"During this time, I will leave it to you."

Robinson was not interested in continuing the conversation, but fortunately, he did not set any obstacles for him.

For Li Yanqing, this was enough. All he wanted was autonomy.

That's all.
