Chapter 333 New Recruits Join the Team

Li Yanqing seemed to have found the crux of the problem.

Most of what Cheng Mengmeng said was actually useless, but there was one thing that was correct.

That is, they need their own tactics.

The formation currently in use is actually just a standard tactic. Even if it appears stronger than other teams in some aspects, it's only because Li Yanqing relies on the character panel to constantly monitor the team and adjust the tactics.

The biggest problem is that Burton could easily collapse suddenly if Li Yanqing steps down one day.

This is clearly inconsistent with his vision of building a legendary club.

"Thank you, you really reminded me this time!"

"I think I know exactly where the problem lies."

Li Yanqing suddenly understood; he finally found the reason for the thing that had been bothering him ever since the competition ended.

That being said, why was it Cheng Mengmeng who pointed out this particular issue?

The other members of the coaching staff are clearly more professional...

But right now, they haven't broken free from their fixed mindset.

"It's probably because he never participates in tactical discussions."

"After all, my job is just to work with the data and keep an eye on the training."

"You've all been blinded by the team's achievements."

To Li Yanqing's surprise, Cheng Mengmeng actually read his thoughts directly from his expression.

"Uh, was my doubt that obvious?" Li Yanqing smiled sheepishly. For the first time, he realized that he seemed to have underestimated this girl.

"Anyway, it's not hard to understand."

"I forgot to tell you, I also know a little about micro-expression analysis."

I almost forgot, she's a top student...

Although the problem has been identified, it cannot be rushed.

Li Yanqing is not good at creating new tactics; he has only been coaching for a few years.

There are very few head coaches in the football world who have achieved this.

Mourinho did it, which is why he won the Champions League multiple times.

Guardiola did just that, and that's how he delivered a dominant performance in the most competitive Premier League.

He had to admit that he was far inferior to these predecessors.

In short, let's continue to work towards our established goals.

January 1st arrived quickly, and the winter transfer window officially opened.

Burton played another league match during that period, and their unbeaten run was ended. Their form became somewhat unstable, but fortunately, Dybala managed to score a goal and secure a draw.

They haven't fallen too far behind and are still ranked fourth in the standings.

Liverpool, who had previously defeated them, overtook them to become the new third-placed team.

The good news is that new signings Bale and Deulofeu have arrived in Burton, allowing Li Yanqing to finally give Matthias and the others a rest.

As for the young man who was promoted to the youth training team, he was sent back.

Whether he was lucky or not is hard to say. Because Anderson left the team, he got the opportunity to gain experience in the first team, but he also missed Mourinho's transfer offer because of this.

The other person should like his style.

But these are things that Li Yanqing can't control; it's just a matter of fate.

He might suddenly have an epiphany because of this and then make it into the first team.

"Welcome to Burton." Li Yanqing personally greeted the team's two new signings.

Name: Gerard Deulofeu

Age: 26 years old.

Status: Extremely poor.

Fatigue level: 5%.

Probability of injury: 1%.

Keywords: [Short passing combination], [Dribbling skills], [Agile center forward]

After witnessing his skills, Li Yanqing could only sigh, "No wonder he was once a genius."

What puzzled him was why he couldn't execute his short passing combination and dribbling skills effectively.

The only explanation is that his condition was already problematic back then.

But it doesn't matter. Condition issues are always minor problems for Li Yanqing, and he can always solve them.

I've already read Bale's entry, but his problems are more serious, affected by both his physical condition and his current state.

It will take some time to help them regain their confidence.

It's also worth mentioning that their loan periods were not short.

Deulofeu's contract is for one year with a buy-out clause, meaning Burton can decide his future.

Bale's loan contract is for two years, and Real Madrid seems to have no intention of letting him play even a minute more, and would love for Burton to sign him for a longer period.

But this was exactly what Li Yanqing wanted.

He didn't want to go through all that trouble to help the player solve the problem, only for the player to simply go back to their hometown.

"Hello......"

"Should I teach you coach? Boss? Or leader?"

Deulofeu wasn't as relaxed as Bale; he seemed a bit nervous.

I don't know if it's because my condition has been deteriorating day by day, which has led to a near collapse of my confidence.

"Whatever, it's up to you." Li Yanqing never cared about these things, but for some reason, everyone called him "boss".

"If you don't have a place to stay, you can stay at the club first. There are player dormitories here."

"Of course, the management here is quite strict. Even if you buy a house, you can only go home on weekends."

"I usually have to live at the club."

"Huh?" Deulofeu had actually inquired about Burton's situation, but he didn't expect that the rules here were even stricter than rumored.

It's like the players are still kids in school.

I was a little taken aback for a moment.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a while."

"I believe Barker told you about our motto: all the players who come here are people who are single-mindedly pursuing victory."

"We all have to give up something for the sake of the competition."

Li Yanqing shrugged; in fact, not only the players, but he himself felt the same way.

The players should be able to accept it.

It's hard to say about Bell. If we don't let him play golf, who knows if he'll throw a tantrum one day.

"I've already heard all of these things from Kevin."

"Can I get a full medical check-up now?"

"I'm curious, what methods will you use to help me get back into form?"

Fortunately, Bale seemed quite motivated at this time, and he still had some ideals.

“Of course, you can go now. Miss Fanny has been waiting for quite a while.” Li Yanqing certainly didn’t mind; it wouldn’t be too late to meet the other players after they finished their check-ups.

"As for the plan, you'll find out soon enough."

"This is a tough time for the team right now, and I hope you can get back into form as soon as possible."

"Finally, there is one more thing."

"Do you see that Asian woman sitting by the training field?"

"Don't mess with her..."
