Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 181 The God-Making Project - True

"No, what are you thinking? As long as you can still play, you'll be the captain here."

"Just do your best."

Li Yanqing patted Bradford on the shoulder; Bradford was different from the other players.

He could decisively send away Ogladi, whose skill level was no longer up to par, but he would never consider replacing the veteran captain.

In his view, at least on a spiritual level, Bradford has always been the most indispensable one.

The team often loses games, and their mentality is often broken.

Even Ibrahimovic's condition has become "poor".

Only Bradford has consistently maintained a level of "average" or above.

He is the most direct embodiment of the team's spirit.

"I always keep my word."

"Right?"

......

Upon returning to the club, Li Yanqing quickly found Nawei.

This young man's importance to him is self-evident, and may even surpass that of Lyman.

"Justin played well."

"He'll get used to this style of play."

"Let's change our focus in training from now on."

Li Yanqing acknowledged Nawei's previous contributions, but lamented that the kid couldn't be in two places at once, otherwise he really wanted to assign one to each player.

"Luckily, they stepped up their game in the second half, otherwise I would have had my bonus deducted!"

Nave is still wary of having his bonus deducted, since the club's bonuses are sometimes several times his salary.

"Don't worry, I was just kidding."

"As long as the final results meet the target, everyone will receive a substantial bonus..."

After a brief explanation, Li Yanqing got to the point.

"Our next training target is... Murphy."

Similarly, we need to train his exceptional abilities.

"It would be good if I had the same skills as Justin."

"What skill?" Neville asked, completely confused.

"Uh, I mean, it would be good if I could be just as good as him."

"His speed is decent. If he can also improve his dribbling skills, he can definitely play an unimaginable role."

Murphy's current skill tags are [By the Goalkeeper] and [Agile Center Forward].

If all goes well, Li Yanqing hopes he can learn "Extraordinary Skills" and "Single-handed Expertise".

The thought of this scene is beautiful: running out on a one-on-one, then dribbling past the defender and the goalkeeper, finally sending the ball into the empty net.

The training method for the "One-on-One Expert" is still unknown. You can start by practicing "Dribbling past opponents like butter".

"Murphy?"

"What he said was a bit difficult..."

Unexpectedly, Neville looked a little embarrassed this time.

"His style relies heavily on speed, and once he picks up the speed, it's sometimes difficult to make moves."

"Apart from a few exceptionally talented players, most fast players will choose to dribble past the ball like Bale."

Li Yanqing understood.

In other words, for speed-type strikers, "Dribble past the opponent" is more effective than "Dribble past opponents with ease".

"Wait a minute, if we're talking about speed, isn't Justin a bit faster than Murphy?"

"Why can he dribble past people so smoothly?"

“He slows down when he’s dribbling past people.” This time, Neville was a little puzzled.

"Anyway, he's on the wing, so it doesn't matter if he's a little slower when he's getting past people. He can just speed up after he gets past them."

"But Murphy is a center, so usually there are opposing players not only in front of him, but also behind him."

"Slowing down will cause big problems."

"Moreover, he is not used to using any dribbling skills. Most of the time, he can shoot directly as long as he creates a little opening."

“That makes sense.” Li Yanqing nodded.

This means that Murphy wasted his time learning "dribbling skills" and the results wouldn't be good.

But if we were to switch to another skill...

Li Yanqing began to mentally review all the other offensive skills.

Among his shooting skills, the [Volley Shot] and [Bicycle Kick] are actually not as good as his own [Crossing the Goalkeeper].

As for other useful skills, they are nothing more than bonuses like [short passing combination] and [perpetual motion machine].

We can't let him learn to be a "heavy hitter" too, that would be a waste of the amazing skill "passing the goalkeeper".

"I do have a suggestion."

"Murphy's biggest problem right now is that he's easy to mark; his attack routes are too predictable."

"It would be better to practice his positioning and tactical awareness more."

"This could actually improve his goal-scoring rate."

Neville had actually done his homework for a long time, and he was supposed to submit it a long time ago, but he just hadn't had time to report it recently.

“Very good, then let’s practice like this for now.” Li Yanqing agreed.

I wonder if this kind of training will lead to any new skills or abilities. Even if it doesn't, it would be good if it could improve my goal-scoring efficiency.

However, his training plan will have to be implemented by someone else.

He quickly found a good candidate.

Matthias.

This winger joined Burton during his Championship days, but his performance after being promoted to the Premier League was mediocre, and he was often taken away from his starting position by younger players.

His skills are [passing the ball past the opponent] and [speedy wingman].

Li Yanqing didn't expect him to be able to continue learning "Dribbling Through the Float," but his physical condition was quite good. It would be great if he could learn "Interception" or "Man Marking."

On one hand, Justin came up to cover for him, and on the other hand, he has always been a player who relies on his physicality.

If he had mastered man-marking, or even master-level man-marking, he believed he could take a look at any offensive player.

After all, he's fast, physically strong, and often goes back to defend; it would be a waste if he didn't have defensive skills.

"Matthias, let him practice his defense."

"Especially the kind of staring at people, the kind that's relentless!"

"There are some things I believe he would be very interested in!"

"Stalking someone?" Neville was a little confused.

"Should we train him to be like Miller?"

“No, it’s different,” Li Yanqing said excitedly, shaking his head.

"Miller is a pure defensive player; his goal is the ball."

"Matthias's goal in training his defensive skills is to improve against opposing players."

"do you understand?"

"Various underhanded tactics, physical exertion, and the like."

"From now on, any tough players will be handed over to him!"

"Make the opposing player as uncomfortable as possible with your marking!"

"Hiss..." Nave gasped. You wouldn't normally notice, but this head coach can be quite dirty at times.

"Train him to be Burton's number one henchman?"

"After he finishes marking training, perhaps we can let him ask Ibrahimovic and Pepe for advice."

"That should probably meet your requirements..."

"Navie! Don't look at me like that!"

"It's not used in every game, you know, it's better to be prepared..."
