Chapter 94 The Burtons' Desperate Struggle

Game start.

To everyone's surprise, Burton started the attack first.

Enzo and Nasri combined to quickly advance the attack in midfield, while Matias and Murphy headed the ball directly outside Arsenal's penalty area.

Nasri then found Matthias on the outskirts of the crowd.

Unfortunately, the latter couldn't find any opportunities and ended up firing a shot at the audience as a tribute.

"Great, keep trying!"

Li Yanqing encouraged his players, saying he didn't think they were bound to lose the game.

Their own players are all in great form. Some of them may not say it, but their form is definitely "excellent," and they want to win a championship for Jamie, who is about to leave.

Quinn and Jamie are on the bench for now, ready to come on as the team's main offensive threats in the second half.

“Look closely, Quinn.”

"Even though you haven't played many games as a substitute, you should still know what substitutes usually do off the field."

"How do the opponents position themselves? And what are the defensive habits of their goalkeeper and defenders...?"

"When the substitutes come on, we can focus our attacks on their weaknesses."

Jamie was discussing his experience as a substitute with Quinn, who kept nodding in agreement.

He has always humbly accepted the teachings of his senior colleagues.

"return to!"

"Mathias! Don't just stand there!"

"Get back to your positions quickly!"

This was the first time Li Yanqing had expressed dissatisfaction with the striker who had recently joined the team. He was slightly more effective than Jami in defense, but his weakness was that he couldn't get back into his position in time.

"You're a left winger now, not a left midfielder!"

"Don't stay in the attacking third after the attack is over!"

Upon hearing the order, Matthias said nothing and immediately ran back.

Actually, this wasn't a big problem before.

The reason for the increased demands on the players is that their opponent is Arsenal, and they cannot afford to be complacent.

The player didn't blame their head coach for being a bit too harsh; he knew the coach was under much more psychological pressure than he was.

From the players to the coaches, they all gave it their all in this match.

The good news is that Walcott, the opponent's most capable dribbler, is not on the field at this time, so there is not much pressure on the left flank.

Right winger Iwobi was unable to break through the flank corridor guarded by Miller and Sun Yan.

So far, the biggest threat from the opponent's attacks is still in the middle lane.

The midfield trio of Ramsey, Cazorla, and Grant Xhaka was both offensively and defensively dominant, completely overwhelming Burton's midfield combination.

Fortunately, when the pressure is not too great, Sun Yan and Bradford can come to the mid lane to assist, and the opponent does not get many opportunities.

Joe Hart is holding on for now.

Li Yanqing is quite satisfied with the current situation.

This is all thanks to someone being unavailable, and Sanchez going to Manchester United...

"plum!"

"I have a great suggestion!"

At the thirtieth minute, Neville ran to Li Yanqing's side, looking somewhat excited.

"The opponent doesn't seem to have much interest in winning this match."

"Let's move Sun Yan to the defensive midfield position and let Enzo push forward..."

“No, that’s not a good idea.” Li Yanqing shook his head decisively.

His idea is not bad. Currently, the team's middle lane is in danger, while the right lane is not under much pressure, so he is going to put more players into the middle lane.

But he didn't know how uncomfortable Sun Yan was playing in the defensive midfield position.

Li Yanqing is still unwilling to recall how badly he performed after being asked to try out the defensive midfield position that day.

"However, what you said makes a lot of sense. You can't replace the defensive midfielder, but you can insert him."

"Sun Yan!"

"Up the field! Support the attack!"

After a moment's thought, he quickly made a decision.

Anyway, Sun Yan is fast, he can go up and come back quickly, so there's not too much to worry about losing the ball due to being out of position.

"Unbelievable, Burton are trying to increase their attacking options!"

The on-site commentator was the first to notice this change and shouted it out.

"They want to win!"

"That's Arsenal, how dare they even think about it?"

"Does Burton's young manager really think he can beat Wenger in this match?"

It was clear that the opposing team did not believe that a Championship team could beat Arsenal.

Their performance this season has been poor, but that's for a top team.

If Li Yanqing leads the team to promotion to the Premier League and achieves their current ranking next season, it will only be seen as a brilliant resume for a young manager...

In fact, Wenger himself is not worried about his team losing.

He was observing Burton's performance. Although the opposing team had two established star players, Nasri and Joe Hart, players like Matias and Baselli were not worth his attention.

Their overall strength is not enough to cause Arsenal to lose.

What surprised him more was the three young players: Enzo, Murphy, and Sun Yan.

Murphy played very hard in this game, but he clearly couldn't break through Mertesacker and Koscielny's defense.

Last time, Terry completely shut him down with a single Master-level man-to-man defense, let alone this time with two Master-level man-to-man defenses.

But this did not deter Wenger's judgment; he felt that the young man was still very talented.

His positioning and speed are both very good, but I don't know how good his shooting is, because he didn't have many shooting opportunities in this game.

Then there's Sun Yan, whose speed is really good, and he's basically running non-stop. He ended their attacks several times and occasionally even moved to the front to join the attack.

However, compared to the previous two, Enzo was the one he valued the most.

Although his playmaking ability is far inferior to that of the sixteen-year-old Fabregas, he does a very good job in helping with defense, which is better than Fabregas.

With a little training, it shouldn't be difficult for him to reach Ramsey's level.

This veteran coach, who is about to retire, has surprisingly started thinking about signing players again.

However, he was not in a hurry.

It's not too late to make a decision after watching the entire match and reviewing their game footage.

The opposing team is only a Championship team; their players will likely find it hard to resist Arsenal's temptation...
