Chapter 150 Role Models for Young People

Li Yanqing had no idea that he had inadvertently offended Woodward once again.

He is currently watching video recordings of previous matches with his coaches.

"My God, Cazorla is in really good form lately."

"You can't tell he's 33 years old at all..."

In the previous matches, the biggest contributors were neither Ibrahimovic, who scored in consecutive games, nor Joe Hart, who kept a clean sheet.

It was the veteran who missed the winning goal against Manchester City.

He performed exceptionally well on both the offensive and defensive ends, orchestrating the team's midfield with remarkable efficiency.

He's played the full 90 minutes in several recent games, almost pushing Enzo to the bench.

"Yes, his awareness is too good. He can completely unleash Quinn in the mid lane."

"Hey, I think I see a bit of him when he was young."

"That's when I was truly omnipotent..."

Lehmann and the players have worked together for a long time and they are very familiar with each other.

Cazorla's performance has declined significantly since the surgery, and this is the first time we've seen him perform like this.

"Yes, everyone was surprised."

"Has anything happened recently?"

"Or is it because you missed that shot last time, so..."

To be honest, Li Yanqing didn't know why Cazorla continued to persevere on the field.

It wasn't for money, nor for any championship.

"Well... I might actually know."

Lyman lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said.

"Many players were very decisive when they left Arsenal."

“Fabregas, Van Persie, Song... and Nasri in the past.”

"They have all broken the hearts of the fans."

"However, there are also some people who have a strong emotional attachment to Arsenal."

"That's the kind of person Cazorla is."

"Do you remember the time the professor spoke with him before?"

"I remember." Li Yanqing nodded.

It was Wenger who personally persuaded him to join Burton Albion.

"That day the professor told him that Arsenal needed new blood, from players to coaches."

"And with his form declining so badly, he had no chance of staying at the club."

"Actually, he wanted to go back to Villarreal, the club that nurtured him. Do you know what the professor said that finally convinced him?"

"The professor said that Villarreal is a good team, but even if he regains his form there, he will never be able to return to Arsenal."

"The differences between the Premier League and La Liga are quite significant, and many people cannot adapt, which poses a greater risk to veteran players."

“Burton is different. He can rediscover himself here, and then there will be no obstacles to going back.”

"As for the goal against Manchester City, don't worry, he won't feel much guilt."

"After all, he did his best."

After hearing this, Li Yanqing suddenly understood.

"So, he hopes to regain his form and then return to Arsenal to help them rebuild the team?"

“Yes, I think so.” Lyman nodded.

This conclusion is correct. The reason the other party chose Burton was to make it easier for them to return to Arsenal someday.

"Uh... I hope you're not angry, Li."

Neither he nor the professor told you these things, mainly because they were afraid you would be unhappy.

"After all, no head coach wants their players to still be thinking about other teams..."

To his surprise, Li Yanqing seemed completely unconcerned about these things, and even showed a hint of appreciation.

Why should I be unhappy?

"Jensen, don't worry."

"I will do my best to help him get back into form."

"Like Nasri, they also greatly improve Burton in the process of achieving their own goals."

"Because only if the team is strong enough can they achieve their goal."

Li Yanqing is willing to accept anything that can improve the club's strength.

He knew very well that the core of the team would always be people like Quinn and Murphy who had a strong emotional connection to the club.

If Murphy were to leave the team one day, his dream would be to quickly regain his form and return to Burton to help the young players. Li Yanqing would be overjoyed.

Cazorla did not consider Burton his final destination, but he undoubtedly set a good example for young players.

"I wouldn't mind having more players like that!"

“Burton needs a lot of people like this right now.”

Li Yanqing suddenly realized something very important.

Champions, youth training, fans...

These are all important aspects of the club's heritage.

However, the most important part is the group of players who have a deep affection for the club.

This includes Barker, who returned to the club as manager after retiring.

And Bradford, when he retires, he will most likely not leave, but join the coaching staff.

The more people like this there are, the easier it will be for the club to deal with any situation.

Just like before, Burton Albion was short-handed from players to coaching staff, but there was basically no one to help them.

If Quinn and Murphy retire one day and happen to become head coaches, will they refuse when the team needs them?

This is the core of the elite club development plan!

He even felt that winning a Grand Slam wouldn't transform a club into a powerhouse; at best, it could only be called a "pseudo-powerhouse."

Youth training and stadiums will catch up eventually as long as the club continues to operate.

Emotions, for instance, need a long enough time to settle and mature.

“This is a very important lesson, Jens.”

"Cazorla made me realize something very important."

"If he really wants to return to Arsenal, I won't stop him."

"We will definitely send him back visa-free."

"However, there's one more thing..."

"What is it?" Lyman asked, a little puzzled. If people could be sent away without visas, what could be more important than this?

Li Yanqing smiled slightly and replied.

“I don’t care about what happened before, but now that I’m here, I’m in charge.”

"Tell Cazorla for me."

"Previously, he was Enzo's backup, but now I'm giving him a fair chance to compete for a starting position!"

"If they're in good form, I could even have him and Quinn take turns playing as the core..."
