Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 182 Mental Collapse

Li Yanqing felt that this was actually his biggest discovery during this period.

It's Neville.

He has adapted to the training requirements he set, and they can help players master all the distinctive basic skills.

These are the skills that can be upgraded to master level.

As for skills like "perpetual motion machine" or "fast wingman," those require some talent. There are certainly people who can train to achieve that, but it takes at least a few years.

Very low value for money.

Instead, we should study how to remove negative keywords. Karius, the goalkeeper poached from Liverpool, would be a good example.

If these two conditions can be met, then Premier League rotation starters can be easily assembled.

Overall, the biggest obstacle to improving player performance right now is technical skills.

Like many of the team's young players, including Matias.

Most of them had no problem with the skill attributes, but they failed to master the technical attributes.

Judging from past experience, Quinn, Sun Yan, and Miller all built their success through a large number of matches.

This is a bit difficult for young players because their playing time won't be as consistent as Quinn's.

Ideally, you should buy players who only possess technical attributes, and then develop all their skills yourself.

For example, Rojo two years ago.

Therefore, the next transfer targets are quite clear...

A few days later, on the training field.

Karius was standing in front of the door with Joe Hart, while Lyman stood by observing.

They were practicing high-pressure saves, with five or six attacking players taking turns shooting.

"How's the situation, Jens?"

“Uh, I meant Karius. We don’t need to worry about Hart’s condition.”

The quickest way is to ask Lehmann directly. Li Yanqing really wants to know if there have been any changes in the players at the club during this period.

"To be honest, it's terrible."

"I originally thought he would only perform poorly under pressure during competitions."

"But things weren't much better during training."

"His performance sometimes resembles that of an amateur..."

"Huh?" Li Yanqing didn't react immediately. He had to admit that the situation was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Yes, it's that bad."

"I think the youth team goalkeepers are really better than him."

Lehmann glanced at Li Yanqing; after all, his reason for buying him was that "he couldn't possibly be worse than the goalkeeper from the youth academy..."

Li Yanqing remained silent.

Currently, it appears that Karius has three negative attributes.

[Butterfingers], [Confidence Collapse], and [Decreased Football IQ (152 days to go)].

[Butterfingers] aren't even a problem here, especially since Lyman has already been able to eliminate them.

The latter two are more serious.

Regarding the "decreased ball IQ", Li Yanqing did not think it was a big problem.

First of all, it has a countdown timer, and it will disappear sooner or later.

Secondly, Benzema wasn't the only goalkeeper cursed by him; most others were able to regain their form quickly.

This countdown, which lasted for more than a year, was likely mainly influenced by a collapse in confidence.

This also applies to the persistent state of "extremely poor".

Li Yanqing has considerable experience in helping players regain their confidence.

However, judging from the player's own situation, the youth training team is definitely not suitable, but if he goes to the amateur league, his confidence will probably be more than just collapsing.

He quickly came up with an idea.

"Murphy, you guys go train something else."

"Let Matthias and Sun Yan come over and shoot for a while."

“Huh?” Joe Hart was the first to express his incomprehension.

These two players have the worst shooting ability on the team!

He's probably only slightly better than himself.

Just as he thought of this, Li Yanqing continued to speak.

"And Hart, you go shoot too."

"..."

Twenty minutes later, Li Yanqing resumed the players' normal training.

It turned out to have no effect.

When confidence collapses to a certain extent, the tactic of "releasing water" (spreading liquidity) will no longer work.

Do we really have to find an opportunity for him to perform exceptionally well on the field in order for him to regain his confidence?

But given the current situation, it's just too difficult.

It's a paradox.

"He can only maintain this state for about ten minutes at most now."

"It's the same even during training."

"I think it's unlikely he'll regain his form anytime soon."

"Let's just switch to a different target."

Lehmann did not show favoritism towards his compatriot; instead, he advised the club to terminate the player's contract as soon as possible.

This shows just how bad his situation really was.

But Li Yanqing clearly didn't intend to do that.

If he doesn't want a repeat of Nasri's story to happen in the team again, he'll eventually have to figure out how to remove all the negative labels.

Karius was his first challenge.

“We still have time, Jens.”

"Let's help him adjust gradually."

"Please..."

Li Yanqing looked at Lyman very seriously.

Football is a very complex sport.

The entry panel can actually reflect a lot of things, and it's impossible for Li Yanqing to cover everything on his own.

This means that most of the time it can only be used as a scouting spell.

But things are different now; he now has a group of assistants who understand his thoughts.

Neville can be a great help in skill training, and as for eliminating negative attributes, Lyman, Miss Fanny, and even John's team might all be able to help.

Now is an opportunity to test their abilities.

“Okay.” Lyman didn’t quite understand Li Yanqing’s reasons for doing this, but he still nodded.

"You're the head coach, you make the decisions."

"Any plans?"

“Yes.” Li Yanqing took out his notebook and tore out a page.

"This is a method I came up with while watching him train."

"Maybe we can try."

Actually, the things mentioned above aren't that complicated.

The most important thing now is to help the players regain their confidence.

However, he will only be able to play for the last ten minutes for now.

This amount of time is clearly not enough.

But there is still a way for him to save the team.

[Popping Expert]

If you can help your team defeat your opponent in the final penalty shootout, why worry about the players losing their confidence?

However, he currently has five entries and cannot learn new skills.

Coincidentally, Lyman is very experienced in eliminating butterflies.

Then train the "spot-saving expert".

At this point, the players are just one suitable match away from regaining their confidence...
