Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 168 Christmas Chapter (Part )

Miller has not yet made a decision.

Li Yanqing did not intend to interfere with his decision, as he always respected the players' own wishes.

If it's entirely for the club's benefit, they should decisively sell the player and then use the 30 million to buy two more players.

This is more in line with the team's current situation.

The club will have a day off on the 25th.

Today is Christmas. Li Yanqing doesn't usually celebrate this holiday, but in foreign countries it's equivalent to Chinese New Year.

Last year at this time, they were worried about the team's performance, but this year they are much more relaxed.

Burton Albion have secured their survival six months in advance, achieving their minimum objective for the season.

Li Yanqing has ideas for achieving better results, but he can't put the pressure on the players.

The main theme of the second half of the season is still growth.

"Li, would you like to come over for dinner?"

"You must be bored staying at home alone, right?"

Chris called Li Yanqing; right now, he's probably the only one in the club who's all alone as the head coach.

Actually, Sun Yan and Li Yichuan were also originally supposed to be there, but they both went to Manchester for an event.

"Chris, have you won over Miss Maggie?"

"Or are you with Will and the others right now?"

“Of course I’ll be with Will.” Chris avoided mentioning the previous matter.

"This year is much more lively than last year, and Susan is back too."

"They spent Christmas together?" Li Yanqing was a little surprised. It seemed that Will had finally won over his ex-wife.

In some ways, this greasy fat man is really beyond their reach.

"Yes, they have remarried."

"You should know from the number of games Will has missed that he has been working on this."

"That's really great." Li Yanqing was pleased with this, but he still declined Chris's invitation.

"I won't go. It's fine for me to stay home alone. You know I like staying here like this."

"Also, please give my regards to Little Blanche, Merry Christmas..."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the tactics board placed to the side.

This is still the section that recorded the learning conditions for the entries.

Since the team was promoted, the players' skills have improved rapidly, but there has been little progress in terms of related entries.

Only Ibrahimovic has mastered [Master-level Deterrence].

This is due to his personality and abilities; it's not a skill that just anyone can learn.

The progress shouldn't be this slow...

But soon, Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head.

His entry panel serves more as a tool to help him understand players than to directly improve their performance.

Ultimately, it depends on the player's own talent and hard work.

What he, as a coach, can do is try his best to make everyone feel comfortable when playing football.

This way, you'll grow up faster.

But judging from Enzo's case, he realized that he couldn't solve everyone's problems.

It's said that the tactics didn't fit, but the reality is that the team couldn't provide him with the growth environment he wanted.

The core player is Quinn. Enzo can only play as a defensive midfielder, but he has too much to do, and his teammates on both sides can't help him much.

This is why he felt increasingly uncomfortable the more he kicked.

Ultimately, in order to achieve his goals, he had no choice but to seek a transfer.

Li Yanqing didn't want this situation to happen again.

He wrote a countdown on the tactics board.

This is the time Chris gave him; he has one and a half seasons left, at which point the team will decide what level of stadium to build.

He needs to completely transform the team during this period.

Fortunately, Nawei now has a good understanding of Li Yanqing's training methods, and they work together very well.

Just as he was about to continue his research, Quinn called him.

"Boss, are you alone?"

"If you don't mind, you can come to my house for dinner."

"My parents really want to meet you."

"Really?" Li Yanqing was about to refuse, but after recalling Quinn's condition, he agreed.

The player's mental state is something even he himself can't match, and he really wants to know what kind of family could raise someone like Quinn.

As for his earlier rejection of Chris, it was simply because he didn't want to know anything about Will.

Moreover, Ms. Susan left him with a very complicated impression during their first meeting.

It's not that it's bad, but I just don't want to see it again.

“I’d love to go, Quinn.”

"Send me your address..."

Li Yanqing had long known that Quinn's family was not well-off.

His life only started to improve after his salary increased in the last two years.

However, I was still a little surprised after looking at the address he sent.

It was not far from the dock and was the second poorest area after the dock.

An hour later, Li Yanqing finally arrived.

He drove here, and it took him so long, mainly because his place is quite remote, far from the city center.

"Hey! Boss! Over here!"

Quinn was already waiting by the roadside, and a large crowd had gathered around him, indicating his popularity.

"Excuse me, could you please make way for me?"

"We're going in..."

He was very polite, and the people were happy to listen to him; they all seemed to have a good impression of the young man.

As soon as he got off the bus, Li Yanqing covered his nose; the fishy smell here was just as strong as at the dock.

"You're a star now, Quinn!"

"There are always this many people surrounding me when I go out!"

“No, they don’t care about celebrities,” Quinn quickly shook his head and explained.

“For most people here, getting food is a huge problem. They can eat better when there is work at the dock, but when there is no work, they sometimes have to rely on relief funds to survive.”

"I don't have the time or inclination to care about football or the games."

"They know me because I donated a lot of money to them."

"A lot?" Li Yanqing now understood why they still lived in the slums.

“A lot, more than half of my salary.” Quinn himself didn’t seem to care. He pointed to the exceptionally clean tiled house in front of him and continued.

"I have to thank you for this, boss."

“If you hadn’t given me this opportunity, we would have ended up like them.”

“But things are different now; we now live in the best house in the area.”

"And we have the resources to help those who are struggling financially."

“Oh…” Li Yanqing never expected that his previous situation would be so bad.

No wonder twenty pounds was enough to keep him in the team.

Why not consider moving to a different place?

"Change a place?"

"No, there's no need for that..."

"If it weren't for everyone helping each other, I might not have been able to grow up smoothly."

“My father often taught me that if we were successful, we should stay here and do our best to change the current situation here…”
