Chapter 180 The Depressed Old Captain

Justin received the ball.

He was holding his breath, his consciousness completely dominated by his emotions.

Since the team is already down by two goals anyway, and since his teammates think it's his fault, he might as well relax and play however he wants.

Screw defense!

However, he clearly didn't notice that his comment "all open spaces" made the Manchester City players very unhappy.

You don't treat them like human beings, do you?

Mahrez, who was chasing Justin, was the first to lose his temper and chased after him even more vigorously, then rammed straight into him.

Unexpectedly, Justin also suddenly sped up and dribbled the ball directly towards the baseline.

This caused Mahrez to collide squarely with the defender who was marking him.

The man fell on his back and his horse fell over.

"here you go!"

"An inverted triangle! Ibrahimovic is in the middle!"

The performance on the field proved the players' offensive talent, which greatly excited Li Yanqing.

However, they were too far apart, and the players couldn't hear his shouts at all.

Right now, no one can help Justin. The closest person is Ibrahimovic on the edge of the penalty area. Although the success rate of passing to him is not high, it is definitely the wisest choice.

Unfortunately, the player didn't try to pass the ball, but instead chose to continue his own drive into the box.

Although he completed another brilliant dribble past his opponent on the baseline, the ball was caught by the onrushing goalkeeper.

This caused Li Yanqing to fall silent.

He suddenly realized that if Li Yichuan were present at this moment, he could definitely provide support and then attempt a long-range shot.

After all, that kid was very proactive in receiving passes in order to have a chance to shoot.

However, it's just wishful thinking, because if he were to play, the opposing team would gather more defensive players, which wouldn't make any practical difference.

On the field, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson opted to launch a quick attack.

A long kick, directly targeting De Bruyne in the middle.

"Stop right there!"

"Go and challenge him! Baselli!"

Bradford shouted from behind, he was getting a little anxious.

In the current situation, we absolutely cannot afford to concede another goal!

He was definitely provoking Justin in the locker room.

But things seem to confirm once again the claim that "he was a failed captain".

In terms of both strength and prestige, he is far inferior to Eevee, who has an innate aura.

Now, he is the one suffering more from the shock.

De Bruyne headed the ball directly towards the near post, so Baselli missed.

Fortunately, Aguero wasn't tall enough. Although he got past Baselli with a high ball, it put him at a disadvantage in the challenge with Enzo.

However, neither Bradford nor Araujo managed to get the ball as it rolled to one side.

A pale blue figure darted past them first.

Gündoğan's masterful late-game run-up!

As Manchester City's second-leading scorer, he has been in excellent form recently!

If he gets this close to the restricted area...

unacceptable!

Bradford, who is usually slow to turn around, turned around immediately this time and stuck to Gündoğan's back.

"you......"

Bradford's timely comeback did little to cheer Joe Hart up.

It's already quite good that he didn't curse when both center-backs lost their positions at the same time.

Just seconds ago he was facing four defenders, but now he's one-on-one with his opponent...

[A master-level player abandons his school to launch a counterattack!]

As the most solid link in Burton's defense, he held the ball firmly in his arms.

Bradford finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they didn't concede any more goals, otherwise he, as captain, would have been completely outshone by the younger players.

"Quick counterattack!"

"Stop being stunned!"

"Let Araujo kick off!"

Li Yanqing reminded them from the sidelines that the opposing players hadn't retreated yet, so if they hurryed, they might still be able to create some good opportunities.

Joe Hart doesn't usually do this, especially after coming out of his goal; he always observes the situation on the field before teeing off.

This is why Guardiola insisted on dropping him.

As for Burton's counter-attack, they entrusted it directly to Justin.

Quinn and Anderson are both heavily marked, so he's the only one who's comfortable handling the offense right now.

However, after breaking through two players, he lost possession of the ball again.

The two sides went back and forth...

Although they were at a disadvantage on both offense and defense, what excited Li Yanqing was that Justin and Bradford's character profiles were showing signs of change!

"Give me the 'Exceptional Dribbling Skill' rating!"

"Don't try to pass the ball with the player!"

"Give me..."

Li Yanqing clasped his hands together, praying that Justin would learn the "Passing Across People" technique.

This skill is on a completely different level compared to the ball-passing maneuver.

Twenty minutes later, Justin finally made a beautiful breakthrough, beating three players before delivering a cross from the byline.

Substitute David Luiz scored, pulling one back for Burton!

Just then, Justin's new skill was finally confirmed.

After training for nearly half a season and then experiencing the trials of several games, he successfully mastered the art of "dribbling past opponents with ease"!

This is definitely a joyous occasion.

This can be considered another milestone in vocabulary and skills training.

This is the first time I've learned such an advanced skill through active training.

Given enough time, Li Yanqing could already create an all-around striker with a combination of exceptional dribbling skills, powerful shots, and spectacular volleys.

He was eager to find someone to test it on.

As for Bradford, the skills he acquired have also been determined.

Uh... after the team conceded another goal.

[Defensive encouragement].

He still managed to learn the term "spiritual attribute".

Actually, it's quite suitable, since that's his biggest role on the field right now.

I wonder if he would have learned some more powerful skill if he had successfully defended that ball.

The match ended with Burton Albion losing 1-3 to Manchester City.

This time, they couldn't even secure a draw, but it didn't affect Li Yanqing's mood.

Achieve a lot!

As for the person who is feeling the most down, it is undoubtedly Bradford.

He criticized Justin in the locker room, but the latter proved his worth with an assist.

And the defense under his leadership conceded another goal...

“It’s alright, Bradford.”

"Our opponent is Manchester City."

"If we only look at the second half, both sides scored one goal each."

"It's not a complete failure."

"They haven't lost a single game this season..."

This was the only way Li Yanqing could comfort his captain.

"Don't worry, boss, I'm just a little disappointed."

"It won't affect your performance."

Bradford shook his head, indicating that he didn't need comforting.

As players who have mastered the skill of inspiring others, they themselves become the spiritual pillars of the team.

"I just feel that my skills are no longer keeping up with the team's needs..."
