Chapter 33 The Strength of a Genius

纳斯里已经能够正常出场，李延青也把阵容从4—2—3—1的高级大巴车调整成了4—1—2—3的进攻阵。

Burton are actually more familiar with this 4-3-3 variant.

The difference from before is that one defensive midfielder was removed, allowing Nasri to become the midfield core, with Quinn assisting on the side.

Judging from his performance on the training field these past few days, Nasri has already won over the entire team.

Including Li Yanqing and Chris.

As a former core player of a top club, even if he hasn't regained his form, his level is still outstanding in the Championship.

"Quinn, watch how Nasri plays more often, and ask him for advice whenever you have free time."

Li Yanqing hoped that Quinn could learn as much as possible from Nasri, after all, the latter was already thirty years old and had been affected by negative comments, so it was hard to say how long he could maintain a high level.

Of course, it's hard to say how long he can stay at Burton.

The future still belongs to Quinn.

October 25st, match day.

Burton Athletic will host Queens Park Rangers.

This time, the coaching staff is no longer just Li Yanqing and Chris. Cheng Mengmeng has successfully obtained her work permit and become a member of the Burton team's coaching staff.

During the day, she would follow the team around, and at night she would analyze the opponents' data and gather intelligence on other teams.

What's frustrating is that Burton's head coach, Hassel Baink, clearly doesn't take Burton seriously.

In a pre-match media interview, he brazenly stated that Burton would suffer a humiliating defeat and that they would also take three points away from the game.

After all, Burton's morale must be extremely low after three consecutive losses, while Queens Park Rangers had previously won two and drawn one, remaining unbeaten in three games.

However, the reality almost broke his defenses.

Just three minutes into the game, Jami broke through and passed the ball across the middle, where Nasri seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful volley to open the scoring for his team!

"Gooooal! Goal!"

"Only three minutes into the game!"

"Burton is playing an uncharacteristically aggressive style, this is going to be a very exciting game!"

The commentator was very excited. Scoring an early goal wasn't the main point; what really piqued his interest was that Burton finally stopped choosing to defend.

A thrilling offensive battle is certainly more entertaining than a dull defensive one!

Li Yanqing was actually quite helpless about this.

He really hoped to solve the problem by defending and counter-attacking.

Unfortunately, Burton's squad wasn't suited to do this; neither their defense nor their fast breaks met his requirements.

The three consecutive losses at the start of the season have already proven this point.

The game continued, and with Nasri on the field, Burton's overall strength improved by several levels.

His skills and vision are truly exceptional.

As long as Quinn and Jamie on his side can coordinate some small-scale plays with him, he can always find a way to break through the opponent's defense.

In the 20th minute, Nasri found another opportunity and sent a through ball into the opponent's penalty area.

But there were no Burton players nearby.

"Oh, Murphy's out of position!"

Li Yanqing sighed; he knew that Nasri wasn't to blame for the goal.

That was a perfect open space; if it were Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, he would definitely be in that position.

But he can't expect Murphy and his teammates to suddenly have Premier League-level abilities; Nasri has to adapt to them.

Fortunately, Nasri himself quickly realized this.

In the 36th minute, he once again delivered a through ball, bypassing the entire opponent's defense.

This time, he observed Murphy's position in advance and accurately delivered the ball to the opponent's feet.

The ball arrived just as Murphy was there, which made him feel very comfortable. He didn't need to adjust and simply lifted his foot to shoot.

"Gooooooal! 2-0!"

Burton has scored again!

They scored two goals in the first half, making it difficult for the opponent to catch up.

In the stands, Will, who had been holding back for a while, once again led the fans in their signature move: squeezing beer bottles.

The initial losing streak did not cause them to lose faith in Li Yanqing; instead, they waited for the team to surprise them again.

They've waited for this moment!

How did you come up with the idea of ​​signing him?

Chris was extremely satisfied with Nasri's performance; in fact, he was almost completely impressed.

He had already left his seat, then lost his balance and plopped down on the grass.

"Unbelievable! We only spent 800,000 to rent a player of this caliber!"

"If he can maintain this form, we might not even have a problem getting promoted to the Premier League!"

"Don't get too excited," Li Yanqing said, unusually pouring cold water on his enthusiasm.

“He only has six months left on his contract with Manchester City, and he hasn’t agreed to let us transfer him here on a free transfer.”

"That depends on how you put it, Li, you're the head coach."

Chris didn't see anything wrong with it; Burton had helped him, and it's common for players to give back to their clubs.

The biggest problem is probably the salary.

Currently, Burton Albion's highest-paid player is Jamie, who earns £500,000 a year.

As for Nasri, he now costs two million pounds a year, far exceeding Burton's ability to afford him.

How much beer would Robinson Crusoe have to sell to prepare two million pounds?

The two chatted casually, while on the field, the shock Nasri had brought them was far from over.

In the second half, the game was in its 70th minute.

Quinn's long-range shot was saved by the goalkeeper, but Nasri suddenly rushed into the penalty area and scored on the rebound.

Three to zero!

The score remained unchanged until the end of the match, and Nasri was named the best player of the game.

The opposing coach, Baink, had turned completely pale and even refused to shake hands with Li Yanqing.

"This is cheating! They must have made some kind of deal!"

In the post-match interview, he seemed to have suffered a great injustice, angrily criticizing Burton.

"The opponent is a key midfielder for a top club! Why would he join a Championship team?"

"I demand that the Football Association investigate them..."

Li Yanqing looked at the head coach and laughed so hard he could barely stand up straight.

When Miss Maggie from the newspaper handed him the microphone, he pushed it away.

"Stop interviewing me, please let Mr. Baink tell more jokes..."

"I swear, this is the funniest joke I've heard all year!"

Everyone knows about Nasri's situation; his performance at Sevilla led most teams in the top five European leagues to give up on him.

Prior to this, no team other than Burton had extended an invitation to him.

The main surprise was that this proud and arrogant genius was actually willing to temporarily join the Championship.

This is thanks to Mourinho, who provided the information that allowed Li Yanqing to secure the deal before other teams could even react.

Mr. Baink is now quite exasperated.

So much so that Li Yanqing didn't know how to respond to him.
