Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 258 Prevention

Blind has firmly secured a starting position in all five warm-up matches.

However, due to the slow pace of the game, he was unable to make any significant impact.

Unfortunately, this player isn't an essential part of our tactics.

Originally, he could have tried switching positions with the defensive midfielder, but with only one defensive midfielder available, Li Yanqing didn't dare let him play in that position.

"Alright, everyone, get some rest."

"Navi will lead you in training this afternoon."

"There are only a few days left before the new season starts."

"Our first game is against Tottenham."

After training, Li Yanqing left the team immediately.

The biggest benefit of Cheng Mengmeng's return is that the head coach can occasionally slack off.

As long as someone helps keep an eye on things, it's fine.

"Li isn't here?"

"Where did he go?"

"They've been appearing and disappearing mysteriously these past few days."

Chris frowned. He had originally wanted to call Li Yanqing to hold an impromptu meeting, but he couldn't find him for three days in a row.

Although it's not urgent, it's not acceptable for the head coach to be constantly absent from the club.

So he turned his attention to Neville and Lyman.

Do you know what Li has been up to lately?

"Uh, we have absolutely no idea. Sometimes we can't find him either." The two shook their heads; in fact, they were in a similar situation to Chris.

Lately, I've hardly seen anyone except in the mornings.

"You've probably been busy with something else lately."

“He was always very enthusiastic whenever I talked to him about the team.”

"But now, he only replies to messages during dinner time, no matter what they are."

"This isn't quite like him..."

“I’ll go find him,” Chris said, then turned and walked to the side to contact his good nephew.

Will, the leader of the fan club.

This kid has been doing well lately; the team's performance is improving day by day, and the number of members in the fan club is gradually increasing.

I don't know how he managed to get Ms. Susan, who doesn't really watch football, to join the fan club and be in charge of organizing events.

At least when there are no problems, her temper is very stable.

As a result, their fan base has exploded, and even Rhine's youth academy now has nearly doubled its size.

“Hey, Uncle Chris.”

"It's been a while since we last saw each other!"

“Yes, that’s all thanks to you running around so much lately.” Chris’s tone sounded somewhat displeased.

But now is not the time to settle scores with him.

Do you know what Li has been up to lately?

"You can't find anyone by the afternoon."

There's a reason I chose to ask Will.

He probably doesn't know either, but with so many fans, someone is bound to find their head coach.

Soon, he received a message from Dr. Strange.

“Uh, Strange said Lee has been staying with him lately.”

"And Miss Fanny, they seem to be researching some kind of project..."

"A medical topic?" Chris asked, puzzled.

"He's probably not a professional, is he?"

Although Li Yanqing has never claimed to have any medical knowledge, judging from his leadership of the team and the players' injuries and physical training, he does have some understanding of medicine.

"Uh, I don't know."

Strange wouldn't tell me the specifics.

He said, "I wouldn't understand anyway."

"Fuck! That bastard, I'm going to teach him a lesson next time..."

Chris still doesn't know Li Yanqing's exact location.

At this moment, the latter was looking at some bottles and jars with a depressed expression.

It contains some... organs.

"Didn't you say you could judge a person's health level?"

"I thought you'd already studied this, that you wouldn't need to look at any test reports..."

They are researching how to prevent injuries, and of course, there's not much that can be done about human factors; the main focus is on muscle fatigue.

"You didn't even tell me it was for watching this kind of stuff."

"I can only say that if it were a player, I could quickly judge his condition."

Li Yanqing covered his head.

He can see the fatigue level thanks to the entry panel, but this thing has limited functionality and can only be used by players.

He can't even see ordinary people.

"Okay, let's try another method..."

During this period of time, they have been trying all sorts of methods here.

The main reason is Dybala's injury-prone nature.

Li Yanqing can control his fatigue level during a simple match, but the fear is that he might get injured during physical contact.

He was bought by Burton for a full 100 million pounds.

"The most difficult part is actually the inability to judge the condition of the muscles."

"But if you can really solve that, the rest isn't actually that complicated."

“Fanny can handle it perfectly well.”

Miss Fanny, who was standing to the side, nodded. Since arriving at Burton, her work skills had improved by leaps and bounds.

It was mainly thanks to Strange.

"Yes, the club actually uses many methods, including massage."

"Just pay attention during training, and based on the data you provided, you should be able to last half a game without any problems."

"A longer period of time may require us to see how things go."

"We need three to five games to observe."

“Okay, I understand.” Li Yanqing nodded.

Based on their research results over the past few days, the outlook is relatively optimistic.

Dybala's body has not suffered any major injuries so far, which is why, despite his "glass man" reputation, his injury probability is less than 50%.

In short, use it sparingly and train sparingly.

Just like how we treated Nasri back then.

"I'm sorry, Li."

"We can't do any more."

"If everything were really that simple, many injuries could be avoided."

Strange is actually the person who feels the most deeply about player injuries.

He is both a football fan and a doctor.

Having witnessed too many geniuses perish due to injuries and illnesses, he didn't mind Li Yanqing troubling him like this.

"No need to apologize, you've already helped me a lot!"

"The club's team doctor seems more like a masseur to me, far less professional than you."

Li Yanqing rarely praised his old friend, who, like Will, had unconditionally supported him since the day he arrived at Burton.

"Okay, then I'll start stating my conditions."

Seeing that Li Yanqing was satisfied, Strange immediately changed his attitude and said loudly.

"As a fan, I need to see more exciting games."

"Win against more opponents, and ideally see our team in the Champions League next season!"

"This is your job, Lee!"
