Chapter 5
Chris, a native of Burton.
Li Yanqing did not go to him directly, but after getting his phone number, he made an appointment to meet in a pub.
It is very rude to interrupt the other party's work directly, and it is not a wise move for Li Yanqing.
The head coach is a very complicated job, and it is useless to just formulate tactics.
The club has many problems now, lack of strength, low morale, and people are not united.
And he knows his disadvantages too well, he is too young. He is not even older than those players, who would be willing to listen to him?
This assistant coach will be a very important helper.
"To be honest, I was surprised."In the evening, Chris arrived as scheduled.
He didn't expect that the new head coach would be such a person.
Li Yanqing was used to it. Whether it was Ibrahimovic, Robinson or Chris in front of him, they all had the same reaction.
Perhaps only Mourinho really thought he could succeed
"No surprise, Chris, you'll slowly realize my"
"Well, what's your plan? I'll help you."
What Li Yanqing didn't expect was that Chris had no resistance to him coming to grab the position.
"Don't look at me like that, I tried and failed."Chris shrugged and explained helplessly.
In fact, if you look at the previous games, you will know that during the time he served as acting head coach, the team's record was still a series of defeats, without any improvement.
"We will cooperate happily......."
The next day, Li Yanqing and Chris came to the training ground together.
The two chatted all night, and Chris was completely shocked by the young man's idea.
To use the famous Chinese saying, it is to survive in the face of death.
But in England, no one has ever been seen to give a serious injury patient another stab.
However, he had no objection, anyway, the situation could not be worse.
"Very good, now it's five minutes overtime, and none of our players have arrived yet."
Li Yanqing stared at the stopwatch in his hand, looking quite interested.
Chris sighed helplessly.
The people's hearts had long been scattered, and he would be thankful if no one was late for more than half an hour today.
Two minutes later, the first group of players finally arrived under the leadership of Captain Bradford.
There were a total of 25 people in the first team, and now 13 were here.
Very good, halfway through.
"Coach, who is this? Now is not the right time to let outsiders in......."
Bradford was interrupted by Li Yanqing before he finished speaking.
"I will introduce myself when all of you are here. Now please line up, Captain."
Bradford looked at Chris in confusion, and only after the latter nodded did he line up with his men. After waiting for another 20 minutes, most of the players had joined the team.
Only the last one, the 19-year-old team favorite, Choudhury, was missing.
Li Yanqing did not intend to wait any longer, and started to lecture him directly.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am your new head coach, you can call me 'boss'’,‘Boss, or coach, it doesn't matter."
"Anyway, I didn't expect you to win."
"You need to start from the beginning, starting with attending training classes on time."
Li Yanqing gave them a blow, and then divided them into several groups.
"If you are late for less than ten minutes, you will be fined one lap for each minute you are late."
"Those who finish within half an hour will be fined to run two laps per minute, and they will not be allowed to play in the next game."
"As for the one who didn't come, tell him not to come and go to the second team!"
Most of the players' faces changed drastically in an instant. They obviously didn't expect to run into such a tough coach today.
"What if I refuse?"
In the queue, a player walked out with a nonchalant look on his face.
It was the midfield core that Li Yanqing believed was the cancer of the team, just like Chaudhry.
"You seem to be the same age as me, so I might as well ask, how did you become a coach?"
"With this delicate body?"
Pamo's words made the players present burst into laughter, without any respect for the head coach.
Li Yanqing chuckled.
Mourinho once told him that compared with normal people, most players are not mature enough, especially those who became famous at a young age.
It was true.
"Nice sarcasm, Pamo"
"I think you should work for a newspaper instead of playing football here"
"So, you can go to the second team."
Faced with Li Yanqing's treatment, it turned out that Pamo really didn't care.
He just patted his butt and left here very single.
""He is the core of the offense, Li, we have no one who can replace him." Chris reminded quietly.
In fact, it was precisely because of this that Palmer dared to be so reckless.
After all, it seemed impossible not to use him.
He didn't care about a temporary coach, and he would ask him to play sooner or later.
"I know of many players who cannot be replaced, and none of them are called Palmer, Chris."
Li Yanqing shook his head, his attitude firm.
In his opinion, Chris is a good person, but not a good head coach.
He is too gentle and behaves like a good old man, which leads to no one in the team listening to him.
"Now, start running!"
"Otherwise I will let you all go to the second team and let them replace you."
"Anyway, whoever plays will lose!"
Most of the players still have dignity.
After dealing with the troublemakers, they naturally obeyed.
"Chris, please keep an eye on them, I have something to do."
Leaving these angry players behind, Li Yanqing went straight to the youth training ground.
In order to punish the first team, those who can play in the next game may not be able to put together a complete lineup.���
Especially in the midfield, the two who seemed to be the most capable were sent to the second team.
So, we have to find a few people to fill in.
The head coach of the youth training team is called Rhine, a big bald man, very easy to recognize.
Li Yanqing found him quickly.
The other party did not say much, but directly pointed out a few guys.
Most of them are blank slates, without any special features, but there is still one person who caught Li Yanqing's attention.
Name: Francis Quinn
Age: 16 years old.
Status: Preference.
Fatigue value: 5%.
Injury probability: 1%.
Term: [Epiphanic player].
I don't know what this kid ate to grow up, he is only sixteen years old but his body is already quite strong.
And this kind of term, he has never seen this kind of player in the players he met before.
What is an epiphanic player?
The kind that suddenly increases its fighting power after epiphany?
It is not clear yet, but it must be collected.
"I want him, and......"
Li Yanqing watched their training for a while and selected three people including Quinn. They were all midfielders.
As for their level, it was hard to describe. They were all in good shape.
Rhine's expression did not change. Maybe he thought that he would only waste the excellent young people here?
Li Yanqing was too lazy to say anything more to him. As long as the other party cooperated with his work, it would be fine.
His mind was full of [epiphany player].
What does this term mean?
