Chapter 100 Li Yichuan's Dilemma

"Hey, Rhine, long time no see."

Li Yanqing hadn't been to the youth training team for a long time, but recently he finally had some free time to come and take a stroll around.

"Do we have any outstanding young men now?"

"Look for someone yourself. Hopefully, you can get someone promoted to the first team."

The youth team's head coach, Rhein, was sitting in the stands, watching his lads play a match against another team.

He previously promoted six players from here to the first team. Quinn and Murphy's performances were a pleasant surprise, and although the others didn't quite make it, they still made good progress.

Where is Li Yichuan?

"Isn't he on the field?"

Li Yanqing was mainly there to see the young man he had suggested switch to striker training.

Even if there are enough transfer funds next season, he does not intend to relax his efforts in developing young players.

He hopes that Burton Albion can produce its own Totti, Maldini, Batistuta...

As for Li Yichuan, nearly half a year has passed. Has he made significant progress in the youth training team?

Having the same "sudden realization" quality as Quinn, he still has high expectations for his opponent.

"Yes, I think he can only play as a substitute."

Rhine nodded, then gave a wry smile.

"It's hard for me to describe his skill level to you, Li."

"I'll bring him on later, you can decide for yourself."

"Hmm?" Li Yanqing was a little puzzled by this.

I had already assessed that the opponent should be well-suited to playing center forward.

What other problems might we encounter during training?

Name: Li Yichuan

Age: 16 years old.

Status: Normal.

Fatigue level: 10%.

Probability of injury: 1%.

Terms: [Sudden Insight Player], [Power Shot]

Li Yanqing's gaze fell upon Li Yichuan, who was sitting blankly on the sidelines.

His profile page remained unchanged except for the fact that he was a year older.

Quinn, who is about the same age, is already a regular starter for the first team, and his position will not be shaken if the team is promoted to the Premier League.

Sun Yan, who joined at the same time as him, also developed rapidly in the first team.

It doesn't make sense that he can't even make the starting lineup in the youth training team, right?

Not long after Rhine substituted him onto the field, Li Yanqing discovered the problem.

"This kid used to kick the ball long as soon as he got it, why hasn't he changed this habit now that he's a striker?"

That's right, Li Yichuan's biggest problem hasn't changed.

No matter where he receives the ball, his first reaction is to look at the goal. He will only execute the tactics if he feels there is no chance.

Then, as long as he gets the ball near the penalty area, he will definitely shoot.

Although he occasionally scores some incredible goals, it undoubtedly infuriates the head coach and his teammates.

Because more often than not, hard-won offensive opportunities are wasted.

This also made Li Yanqing understand the difference between the [Cloud Piercing Arrow] and the [Heavy Artilleryman].

【Piercing Arrow】is only activated in the middle lane and outside the penalty area. Judging from Quinn's performance, the probability of activation is not high, but it is very accurate.

The Heavy Gunner is different; there are no area or activation restrictions, but there is no accuracy bonus either.

Everything depends on the player's fundamental abilities.

Compared to Li Yichuan, the threat level of Payet and Ramsey's "heavy artillery" was worlds apart.

But he also really likes to shoot directly...

Having a [Heavy Gunner] is a good thing, but it actually limits his growth.

"Rhine, tell him next time that he's not allowed to shoot from long range."

"He needs to understand that tactics are the most important thing, and long-range shots are only an attempt when there is no way to break the deadlock."

"First, learn how to be a striker who finishes off easy chances in the penalty area."

"This isn't like playing defense where you just need to pass the ball out..."

Li Yanqing was a little conflicted. Li Yichuan was 1.87 meters tall and had very good physical qualities. If he trained well, he had a good chance of becoming a heavy-weight center or an all-around center.

But he's really a bit too obsessed with shooting...

"Never mind, let's wait and see. I'll find a time to talk to him myself."

Ultimately, he gave up on having Rhine communicate with the young man.

If their communication had actually been effective, things wouldn't be like this now.

"Speaking of which, there's a pretty good young man over there..."

Ignoring Li Yichuan for the moment, Li Yanqing shifted his attention to a young man from the opposing team.

Name: James Justin

Age: 19 years old.

Status: Good.

Fatigue level: 20%.

Probability of injury: 10%.

Entry: [Cross from the bottom], [Fast winger].

This player is the opposing team's right-back, and he's performing very well on the field, showing great aggression. He's created several threatening passes.

The skill panel is also very impressive, featuring offensive skills like "crossing from the byline" and essential skills for wingers like "speedy winger".

"You mean him? He's not a member of their youth training team."

“In fact, he should have been a first-team player for Luton Town two years ago.”

"They were probably sent here to lead these lads in some U20 friendly matches."

Rhein knew something about this player and explained it to Li Yanqing.

"He's still under age and can play."

"Anyway, Luton has performed well this season, and they should be able to get promoted to League One if nothing unexpected happens."

Quinn and his teammates could have done the same, but the first team is already exhausted from the matches, so there's no need to put in the effort for the U20 teams.

The opposing team did this purely to get their players to play more games, but they didn't need to.

"So the other player is a League Two player?" Li Yanqing was a little surprised. Let alone League Two, it's not easy to find talented young men even in League One or the Championship.

Burton happens to be short of a full-back, so they could consider that.

Moreover, buying people from there shouldn't be expensive.

"I'll have Barker contact them."

“Alright.” Rhine’s expression was somewhat helpless.

Li Yanqing didn't fancy anyone from his own team, but he did fancy the opposing team's players.

This disappointed him, the head coach of the youth training team.

"Don't worry, Rhein."

"You know I didn't mean anything by it."

"If there are players I need here, I will definitely not let them go."

"Quinn and Murphy are enough to prove your ability..."
