Chapter 339 The Championship Situation
the next day.
Deulofeu was wolfing down his food in the cafeteria, his left hand still clutching his chest.
To his surprise, Quinn and Ibrahimovic didn't release any water last night.
Although Ibrahimovic is getting older and his abilities are declining, his physical strength is still formidable. Quinn, needless to say, is as strong as an ox...
He didn't manage a single successful dribble past anyone all night.
It keeps getting hit...
He couldn't remember the last time he had suffered such torment.
The last time seems to have been back in La Masia, when his opponents were marking him closely.
To be somewhat humane, Li Yanqing asked the club's team doctors to stay and work overtime as well.
At least nothing really goes wrong.
"Hey kid."
"I have good news for you."
A familiar voice suddenly rang out, but when Deulofeu heard it, he froze on the spot.
I even forgot to eat lunch.
Ibrahimovic sat down beside him with a big smile on his face.
"Let's continue tonight."
"The coach said your physical condition is very good, and the intensity of your training is not high."
"And I just happen to have this time recently."
"We will always be with you."
"Ah..." Deulofeu really found it hard to accept this reality.
If he continues training like this, aren't you afraid he'll actually get injured?
The team doctor isn't omnipotent...
But just as he was about to move to another place to continue eating, he noticed that Quinn had quietly sat down on the other side.
"My friend, don't even think about getting away."
"The boss said he has to train you to be ready this month."
"All I can say is, if you want to be free sooner, you should think carefully about how to restore your strength and courage..."
It remains to be seen whether Deulofeu can find his form.
Because Li Yanqing didn't have time to deal with him for the time being.
In the next league match, Burton will face Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur again in three days.
Without a doubt, this is also a crucial match.
The recent schedule has not been easy for them, with teams like Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur being direct rivals in the title race.
Now we have to add Liverpool.
Arsenal are also in danger. Although they haven't made it into the top four yet, they are only three points behind them, just one step away.
The only team to fall behind is Manchester United.
Solskjaer dropped Pogba from the starting lineup; the team's playing style needs to change, so fluctuations in results are normal.
However, they have already fallen behind and are now more than ten points behind the top four, so they are not a big threat.
If he can squeeze into the top seven by the end of the season, he will have performed well.
In short, the competition for the top four and the championship this season has been fierce.
Li Yanqing couldn't relax.
The good news is that Nawei has been released by Rhine, and from today onwards, Li Yanqing no longer needs to oversee training matters himself.
However, Navee seemed to be preoccupied after returning to the first team.
"What are you worried about, Na'Vi?"
"If it's something trivial, I'll deduct your pay."
"The current situation is not very favorable for us..."
Li Yanqing had to give his capable lieutenant a warning.
When you're working, you can't keep getting distracted.
“No, the problem is indeed very serious…” Neville muttered, but after seeing Li Yanqing’s eyes, he immediately changed his mind.
"But it has nothing to do with the team."
"Let's focus on preparing for the competition now."
"Are you going to let Deulofeu play in the next match?"
"Not necessarily, it depends on his situation." Li Yanqing had some reservations about this.
Firstly, we don't know how well the kid is recovering yet, and secondly, Tottenham is not a suitable opponent for training.
And it would be best to win this match.
"If we play the same way as before, the opponent will probably find a weakness in our game."
"Everyone knows that our right flank is a bit weak right now."
"Moreover, Matthias hasn't been rotated out recently, and he's already very tired."
Nave is currently analyzing the players' physical data, and the results don't look good.
On the other side, Kvalardona didn't really get much rotation, but he's young and still has plenty of potential.
Matthias, on the other hand, is already thirty years old.
For professional players, this is a watershed moment.
Everything is fine before the age of thirty, but after that, many people will encounter all sorts of problems.
"Yes, that's why we need to think about how to deal with them."
"There's no need to worry about those youth academy players; José won't let them play."
"When facing me, I will definitely bring out my strongest lineup."
This wasn't because Li Yanqing was arrogant, but rather because this was always how things were between them.
When they meet on the field, neither of them will hold back.
"Then that's a much bigger problem..."
Nave scratched the back of his head, finding it hard to imagine how his team could possibly defend against Son Heung-min and Lamela, two explosive wingers.
Kane is Tottenham's key player in the middle, but he's the one they least need to worry about.
Because there was no major problem with the central axis of their own property.
"How about we try something exciting?"
Li Yanqing had previously told Nawei that he wanted to incorporate short passing into the central axis of the game during training.
He trained his players in the same way during the days the other party was away.
"Huh?" Neville was naturally worried about this.
Who is Mourinho?
The kind of people who went head-to-head with the Dream Team Barcelona.
Playing short passes in front of him...
"No matter how good a coach is, he still has to consider the team's configuration."
"If it were Burton a year ago, that wouldn't work, but we're not the Burton we used to be."
"Of course, most importantly, Tottenham is not the Tottenham of the past."
Li Yanqing admitted that a group of extremely talented players emerged when Pochettino was in charge of Tottenham.
But Mourinho has only been in charge for less than six months, and the squad is still in the adjustment period.
With Eriksen gone and former English star Dele Alli essentially rendered useless, their attacking capabilities have shrunk considerably.
"You're the head coach, you make the decisions."
"What do you need me to do?"
Neville's greatest strength is that he never questions his boss in a crisis.
If there are any problems, we can discuss them later.
"It's simple, just do me a favor."
"Regarding Deulofeu..."
