Chapter 322 Must win!

"Who says we can't make use of the weather?"

Li Yanqing muttered something under his breath.

In fact, he rarely considered using environmental factors to help the team anymore, but the situation was urgent at this moment, and he couldn't worry about that.

We have a one-goal advantage in this match, we must win.

"Araujo, listen to me."

"When you come on the court, keep your defensive distance a bit further."

“Create an opening so your opponent can push forward, and then engage in combat when he is about to pass.”

"It's guaranteed to be accurate every time."

"The only thing we need to be careful about is preventing them from entering the restricted area."

"Huh?" Arauho, who was warming up, didn't expect Li Yanqing to come up with such a solution.

It is somewhat dirty.

In this kind of weather, it's likely that even a slight bump would send the opposing player flying.

"It's okay, there are weaknesses everywhere in the backcourt anyway."

"You just need to hold off Aguero."

Li Yanqing patted the young man on the shoulder. He wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure if there really wasn't any other way.

This was the first time that their carefully constructed defenses had been completely shattered.

The person who truly broke through their defense was not De Bruyne, not David Silva, nor the explosive Sterling.

It was this small forward who was constantly charging around the frontcourt.

Although Aguero's speed is not what it used to be, and Sun Yan can keep up with him, his awareness is much better than Aguero's, causing Aguero to always lose his position.

If you lose your position, you'll lose sight of people.

Then came the opponent's shot.

As long as we keep him under control, the game can still go on.

"Understood, boss." Araujo nodded. For a defender, using his body was a common practice.

As long as we can hold on, that's fine.

As for Burton's number one striker, Matthias, he is not well-suited to defending the opponent's forwards.

Aguero's position is too close to the penalty area; if he's brought on, he might inadvertently concede a penalty.

"Changed!"

"They still couldn't hold their temper!"

Guardiola's assistant burst into laughter as soon as he saw the other team make a substitution.

As mentioned before, once they've used up their trump cards, they basically have no room to struggle.

With nearly twenty minutes remaining, Manchester City have enough time to catch up and even score a last-minute winner.

"Strengthen the defense..."

Burton substituted left-winger Kvaladona with center-back Araujo.

No matter how you look at it, they're prepared to hold out to the death.

But Guardiola didn't seem very happy.

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed."

"They haven't left any way to counterattack. Do they really think they're Mourinho?"

"Let's change our players too."

Since Burton has strengthened their defense, there's not much point in saving their last substitution; they can simply continue to intensify their attack.

At this moment, Quinn was panting heavily on the field, taking a break during the substitution.

He was under pressure for so long in the second half and still couldn't come up with any way to fight back.

If there's no one to receive the ball in the attacking third and you pass it directly, Murphy won't even get into position before the ball is intercepted by the opposing center-back.

Manchester City also deliberately left a fast player behind them.

Now that Kvalardona has also been substituted, they have no other attacking options.

His expression now is somewhat helpless. If the team's bench were deep enough, they could just play an open, offensive game without having to go through all this trouble.

"Quinn!"

"Focus!"

Lars Bender is usually not very talkative during matches, so it was quite unusual for him to speak today.

"You are the team's offensive core, so you have to try every time."

"We can hold out for half an hour."

"But the number of counterattacks absolutely cannot be zero!"

"Their attack was far too arrogant!"

Lars Bender was not happy with the fact that his team had been on the defensive since the start of the second half.

Li Yanqing had said countless times in his tactics class that even if you're going to defend to the death, you still need to launch a few threatening counterattacks from time to time so that the opponent won't dare to be too rampant in their attacks.

Otherwise, if the attacking side plays with the same lack of concern as in a training match, it's only a matter of time before the team concedes a goal.

He was the best defensive player in this game and also had an assist. If we win, he will definitely be the best player.

This was one of the few opportunities he had to appear in public since joining the team.

So when he saw his teammates looking confused, he immediately offered a reminder.

“I understand, I understand,” Quinn nodded repeatedly.

Of course he remembered all that, but now neither he nor Murphy were having a good chance of receiving the ball...

Even Lars Bender, who had previously delivered a through ball, didn't have many opportunities to pass the ball; De Bruyne was marking him very closely.

and many more......

Quinn suddenly remembered Li Yanqing's substitution just now.

Araujo was brought on.

Therefore, Burton is actually using a five-defender formation now.

Besides Blind (who didn't play) and defensive midfielder Lars Bender, Araujo is also capable of passing the ball out from the back.

Li Yanqing's substitution was not just to solve the defensive problem!

It can also solve their problem of having difficulty passing the ball!

"Araujo!"

"Let Araujo pass the ball!"

"Once you get the ball, don't think about anything else, just pass it forward!"

“The farther the better!”

"Murphy, get ready to break the offside trap!"

The issue of the ball's release point has been resolved; that's their biggest problem now.

As for the midfield, Quinn and Matias naturally assist in the attack and draw the attention of the defenders.

It seems like things have suddenly come to a head!

Quinn, realizing the situation, relayed these words to his teammates, showing them that they were not without options!

"Do as Quinn says!" Bradford clapped his hands, reminding his teammates to stay focused.

"Keep a close eye on your opponent!"

He still speaks very little now, but seems to have become even more proficient in his skills.

[Defense Inspiration] Activated!

Seeing Bradford activate his skill, Li Yanqing was quite excited.

Araujo can indeed solve the ball distribution problem, but if the forwards don't provide support, the team's defensive capabilities will definitely decline.

This is a drawback.

So he instructed Araujo to use some underhanded tactics to deal with Aguero.

Surprisingly, Bradford's skill this time actually made up for the decline in their defensive ability.

Unleash the most appropriate skill at the right time!

That's the true meaning of skills.

Now, his players have developed a great understanding with him.

"Jensen".

"I really can't bear to part with it."

"Many people will leave the team after this season."

"I wonder how long it will take to get a new team to take over if we find someone to fill in."

"You should focus on the game at hand first." Lyman didn't want to think about things that far ahead at this time.

There's still half a season left. If we don't want the players to leave with regrets, winning more championships is the most important thing.

However, Li Yanqing, standing to the side, was full of confidence.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win this match!"
