Chapter 50 The Purest Form of Football

Di Matteo's news left Li Yanqing somewhat confused.

Who would want to target me like this?

Raiola?

It's not that bad. I have a grudge against him, but it's quite common for things to fall apart like that. It's not worth going to such lengths to target me.

Even if each of the five or six clubs only invests 20 million pounds, that's still 100 million pounds.

besides......

That leaves only Chen Yi.

The other side invested in Huddersfield, but were thrashed by Burton Albion.

So they recruited more teams to target them.

For the time being, Li Yanqing couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"Then why are you telling me these things?"

"This doesn't seem to do you any good..."

“Because I hate these guys,” Di Matteo replied, making no attempt to hide the disdain on his face.

"Many years ago, football was very pure; all people cared about was the game."

"But it's these people who have ruined football! That's terrible!"

"So I rejected them, and I will fully support you, Lee!"

“Support me?” Li Yanqing was still somewhat doubtful.

I am far from being friends with the old man in front of me.

Even though he was the one who caused his dismissal, the other party chose to stand by him at that moment.

"Yes, those people's faces disgust me."

"Don't forget, I'm also the head coach. I had to bow down to certain things in the past, but I will never do that again."

"I want the purest form of football! I see hope in you."

Let's teach those people a lesson together!

Di Matteo became more and more excited as he spoke, and Cheng Mengmeng, who was standing next to him, quickly ran over to support him.

“I still have some connections over the years, so you can tell me if you need anything.”

"Also, I have a nephew who is very good at business; he might be able to help you."

At this point, Li Yanqing had no more doubts; he saw an undisguised devotion in the other person's eyes.

But after thinking for a while, he finally shook his head.

"I don't doubt your sincerity, but now is not the time."

"Those guys won't get their way with Burton."

"Money can't help them get into the game!"

"I can manage the situation now, but I will definitely come to you when I have no choice but to seek help."

Di Matteo clearly hadn't expected Li Yanqing to reject his proposal.

It's important to understand that a seasoned coach who has been in the football world for many years can sometimes be more influential than an agent like Raiola.

"why?"

Faced with the old man's question, Li Yanqing simply chuckled.

"Because they don't deserve it."

“You’re right, not everyone is a boss like Roman.”

"They can only bring in players for a few positions; they can't replace the entire team. There's nothing to be afraid of."

His confidence comes from the Burton team players.

Although everyone thought this young team would have a hard time succeeding, only those who spent every day with them knew their capabilities.

The older players like Jamie, Bradford, and Nasri are undoubtedly the most reliable part of the team.

Quinn, Murphy, and Sun Yan are all outstanding young men.

Their strength is visibly increasing, and if they can secure Enzo, the team's strength will take another leap forward.

Moreover, the people he selected using the keyword panel were basically able to integrate seamlessly into the team.

Just look at Nasri; after joining the team, he immediately transformed it into one of the strongest teams in the Championship.

Others don't have this ability; players need to put in a lot of effort to integrate into the team, and if they encounter problems adapting to the new environment, they're completely ruined.

He had absolutely no idea that the hastily assembled team could defeat Burton.

"Alright, let me see how far you can go."

Di Matteo sighed, seemingly still regretting something, but his gaze towards Li Yanqing became even brighter.

"Eat up, or these will get cold..."

After a while, Li Yanqing and Cheng Mengmeng got up to say goodbye.

He got the old man's contact information and said he would contact him when he led his team to promotion to the Premier League.

I doubt I'll be able to handle it then.

"If you're staying long, I suggest you go for a walk on the beach; you can't enjoy that in England."

"Thank you, I'll go if I have time." Li Yanqing glanced at Cheng Mengmeng beside him.

He wasn't interested at all, and the girl next to him who had cancer was even less interested; to her, going to those places was no different from slow suicide.

“You asked me to come here, I thought you didn’t remember this.”

"The sun here is really strong."

Cheng Mengmeng sounded somewhat complaining, but the former couldn't see what kind of expression she had.

"It's okay, you're covered up very well anyway."

"From now on, we'll only come to places like this in winter..."

From Di Matteo, he learned that the people targeting Burton were about to take other actions, so the trip wasn't entirely in vain.

At least you can make some preparations in advance.

They waited there for two more days, during which Enzo's father contacted Li Yanqing no less than three times.

He genuinely cared about his son, constantly seeking confirmation from him about Enzo's upbringing and development path.

And if he wants to transfer to a top club, will he encounter any obstacles?

Li Yanqing replied that Enzo could tell him anytime he wanted to leave, and he would do his best to fulfill his wish.

This is actually not a good thing for him. Who would want a player they've worked so hard to develop to leave for another team?

However, considering Burton's financial situation, he had no choice but to accept this outcome as long as he could retain enough transfer fees.

Clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, and Porto, which are notorious for their shady dealings that make a living by buying and selling players, will never become the greatest clubs.

They struggle to gain the full loyalty of their players because they rarely achieve top honors.

Like Marco Reus, the former captain who stayed at Dortmund, he can be described as a man who has accumulated all the regrets.

But in order to get Enzo to join the team, he agreed.

He believes that as players grow alongside the club, they will naturally develop loyalty to the team.

After receiving this answer, Enzo's father quickly agreed to let him join Burton Albion and that he could go to England at any time.

This made Li Yanqing beam with joy, as the team's midfield defense was finally secured.

Enzo, along with Sun Yan, can effectively counter the opponent's rapid counterattacks.

We won't be so afraid of competing with other teams in midfield strength anymore.

"Don't delay! Get to Burton within a week, and you'll be able to play in the second half of the season."

"We'll be leaving tomorrow. Oh, and you can come with us if you'd like."

"I'll wait another week," Enzo shook his head. After all, it was his first time away from home, and he was a little reluctant to leave his family.

"No problem, you have plenty of time to adapt!"

Li Yanqing will not forget his promise to his family; he will take good care of this young man!
