Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 166 Admitting Defeat and Eating Half

After the match, Klopp smiled and shook hands with Li Yanqing; the renowned coach was in a very good mood.

However, the latter's expression wasn't good, because the team suffered their biggest defeat in the Premier League.

Zero to four...

This made commentator Hans very happy, and he once again publicly expressed his opinion.

"Burton is not a strong team, and this match clearly demonstrates that."

"That Chinese kid is not capable of being a manager in the Premier League."

"They absolutely cannot stay here for long..."

To his embarrassment, his remarks did not seem to be accepted by many people.

Netizens all looked at him like he was an idiot.

Is losing to Liverpool a shameful thing?

"They're just a newly promoted team, and it seems like they'll have no trouble staying in the league right now."

"Don't even mention Burton, there's no team that has beaten Liverpool in the league so far, right?"

"Not to mention they even managed a draw against Manchester City..."

Most netizens are quite rational.

Because Liverpool and Manchester City have had such outstanding performances this season.

Their upcoming match will be the focus of the entire Premier League.

However, Mr. Hans was clearly a little anxious after receiving such comments and began to mock these netizens for not understanding football.

Immediately following was a chorus of curses...

Li Yanqing had no idea that he had suddenly become popular online again.

He's still instructing Nave on the players' training.

He couldn't let his team suffer a major setback and let it affect the players' mentality.

So I've been keeping an eye on things at the training ground.

Have you seen the news online?

"It's been a huge uproar lately."

"That Mr. Hans is trying every possible way to attract attention..."

Lehmann knew that the commentator was talking nonsense from beginning to end. He probably knew Burton's current strength, but he was just doing it to attract attention.

"How about we respond?"

"This kid actually dared to criticize my players!"

"I can't accept this, Jens!"

Li Yanqing didn't care what the other party said about him, but it seemed that the other party had started a column specifically to criticize the performance of Burton team players.

"Let's not do it, just let him go and have fun by himself."

He just wants you to respond to him...

Lyman shook his head; he didn't think it was a good idea.

Li Yanqing's response last time made the other party very angry.

“It’s okay, I don’t mind making him even more popular.”

"That way, more people will pay attention when I eat the microphone."

Li Yanqing specially created a social media account, as he had never used it before.

"All done, I'm going to training now."

"Also, keep an eye on the players for me."

"They will not be allowed to cause any other trouble in the media."

Seeing Li Yanqing's somewhat strange expression, Lyman curiously tapped on his phone.

He wanted to see what the kid was saying.

Li Yanqing posted a picture on her account.

A microphone, and a caption.

Admit defeat and eat only half.

What the hell did I eat only half of it?!

This is much more disgusting than just insulting someone directly...

Lyman covered his face; he could already imagine Mr. Hans's expression when he saw the message.

After training.

Li Yanqing invited a group of veterans over 30 years old, including Ibrahimovic, Cazorla, and Joe Hart, to his home.

He has moved into the new house the club gave him; it's spacious enough now.

However, this made the veterans somewhat nervous.

Have a small meeting?

"Li, you don't think the team's recent poor performance is our fault, do you?"

"To be honest, everyone present performed quite well."

Ibrahimovic never hides his emotions, so he asked directly.

We've lost our last two matches in a very weak fashion, especially the one against Liverpool.

"No, I didn't mean that."

"I called you here simply to thank you."

Li Yanqing looked at him sincerely and then said.

"The team's performance during this period has been very good, far exceeding expectations."

There is no reason to blame you.

"Chris and the others are waiting inside, to thank you for your hard work during this time..."

"By the way, I also need to explain the recent tasks to you."

"A mission?" Pepe asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.

As everyone knows, he's just here to maintain his fitness.

He said that on his very first day after the transfer.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the competition."

"You'll find out when Chris tells you..."

In the living room, Chris, Lyman, and others were sitting.

Neville didn't come this time; this occasion wasn't suitable for a young man like him.

As for Li Yanqing... he's an exception.

He's no longer considered young by others.

"We're not having a meeting today, so we deliberately didn't choose the club as the venue."

"You can all relax a bit."

They knew Chris's former assistant coach, but that was before they arrived.

So it takes some getting used to.

They will soon witness what Burton Albion's most powerful "spiritual mentor" truly means...

"I am very grateful for everyone's hard work during this time."

“Especially you, Zlatan.”

"Li Ke praises you all the time."

“That’s what he should do,” Ibrahimovic said bluntly, believing he deserved it.

"And Li Yichuan, thank you for training him too. He's now able to do tactical training properly," Rhein chimed in.

For him, discovering the talent of young players is the most important thing.

“Yes, this is all thanks to you, to Zlatan!” Chris raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.

Actually, these are not the most important things for him. The most important thing is that the team's revenue has increased a lot since Ibrahimovic came.

He is the highest-earning player on the team.

"And Cazorla and Pepe."

"You all played your part..."

Chris didn't mention anything else.

Enzo's progress has been disappointing, as has Araujo's performance in defense.

This gathering was actually prepared for them.

They didn't put in as much effort as Ibrahimovic in teaching young people.

The coaches' goal is for them to learn from their predecessors.

The players present were all quite old, and they understood what he meant.

"What do you want us to do?"

"Just say it."

Cazorla was grateful to Li Yanqing for giving him the opportunity to play as a starter, and he was also happy that the other party supported his ideals.

However, while he himself was in better form, he failed to teach Enzo well and even reduced Enzo's playing time.

He felt very guilty about this.

"I won't refuse any opportunity to help..."
