Chapter 143 Bonus Plan

How is Nasri?

"Did you transfer him to Burton's hospital?"

"We owe this game to him..."

Lehmann waited at the club for Li Yanqing, who was late in arriving.

The players have all gone to rest, and only the latter and Nasri have not returned.

"He's ready to end his football career, Jens."

"Congratulations to him, he has achieved his goal."

Li Yanqing decided not to tell the players, especially Quinn, the news for the time being.

Since Nasri hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet, it would be better for him to announce it himself later.

As long as the coaches know about this in advance, it's fine.

"What? Retirement?"

Is the injury very serious?

This news wouldn't surprise Chris and Neville too much, but it was a different story for Lyman.

He was unaware that the other player had a physical problem; all he knew was that the player was the club's attacking linchpin...

This has been the case in at least the most recent matches.

"Not really."

"Anyway, I'll explain everything together in a bit."

The reason for saying this is that Neville, John, and others are currently waiting for Li Yanqing to come to the conference room for a meeting.

Today's game definitely needs to be analyzed.

"Speaking of which, Jens, how much do you know about Guardiola?"

"He shouldn't be the kind of person who would do something outrageous, right?"

Li Yanqing suddenly asked a question.

He had always been curious about what magic Guardiola possessed that made Nasri so interested in him.

He's willing to join the Championship just to get back on the pitch.

In contrast, when he wanted to sign Blind, the player didn't seem to have any intention of proving himself to Mourinho.

If we find the right method, we might be able to help Blind get back into form quickly.

“Uh… he’s a paranoid person,” Lyman quickly replied.

"It should be said that he was a paranoid perfectionist."

"Team, formation... it's not just him, I think Mourinho, Klopp and other top coaches are like that too."

"As for outrageous behavior, what aspect are you referring to?"

"Praising the opposing players after the game? That's not a very bad thing."

"They are very willing to praise each other, especially when their team hasn't won a game..."

“Okay.” Lyman’s answer did not satisfy Li Yanqing.

He doesn't seem to have grasped the crux of the problem.

It's more reliable to ask Mourinho.

In the tactics room.

Neville and the others are watching the video of today's game.

Someone has already edited it, making it easy to watch.

"Anything gained?"

Li Yanqing took his seat, and his arrival signified that the meeting could officially begin.

“We’ve had quite a haul today,” John said first.

"If our players can perform at this level in every game, I think we can challenge for the Premier League title this season..."

"Everyone performed well, especially in formation changes, with almost no major problems."

"That's unlikely." Li Yanqing didn't think the level of competition could be maintained indefinitely.

"Today's situation is special, and the players are giving it their all."

“This condition cannot last a whole year; they will get injured very soon.”

"I would be very satisfied if we could reach the level of a mid-table Premier League team."

“Yes, one step at a time.” Lyman was clearly more professional in this regard.

"First, we need to make good changes to the formation, and then try to incorporate changes in rhythm."

"We haven't even finished the first step yet."

The main reason for saying this is to prevent the coaches from becoming too complacent; in fact, the team has already made great progress.

Anyway, we'll see how much they learned from this match in the subsequent games...

"Okay, let's talk about business."

"I'm not too worried about the team's situation right now."

Li Yanqing's words left the people present somewhat puzzled.

Isn't discussing team tactics a serious matter?

"The players' progress is actually visible to the naked eye, and it would be great if they continued to follow this pace."

"The problem now is that we need to improve our skills."

At this point, Li Yanqing's expression turned serious.

"This match illustrates a lot."

"We haven't done enough work."

He was serious. The team seems to have a lot of people now, but his overall feeling is not as good as last season.

Often, before one problem is solved, another immediately arises.

The Premier League is much more difficult than the Championship; sometimes, adjustments made during the game are not enough to win.

"I sent you an email about the specifics on my way back."

"As for now, you can go home and rest."

There's no need to hold a special meeting to praise yourself.

"Tactics and such can be tested during training matches."

This is not Li Yanqing nitpicking at others.

Rather, he had simply grown accustomed to the way he worked with Chris and Cheng Mengmeng.

In contrast, John's team also submitted a comprehensive data report, but their focus was somewhat different from the former.

It was due to the different work environment before.

Li Yanqing never made any demands on them because at that time the focus was on the team's tactics, and he had no time to worry about anything else.

But things are different now. Now that they're familiar with the pace of the Premier League, they need to get as many points as possible in the coming days.

"By the way, I set some goals for the team in the email."

"There will be a reward as long as it is completed."

"For example, how many points this season."

Instead of awarding prizes based on how many places a player achieved, the system directly calculated the final score.

Looking at the rankings is putting too much pressure on me.

The minimum goal is to reach the relegation threshold of 31 points, but since it's the minimum goal, the reward is naturally very small.

Then came 40, 50, and 60.

If they can get 60 points, they'll be a mid-to-upper-tier team in the Premier League, and they should have no problem competing in the Europa League.

There are substantial rewards for achieving each goal.

Then there are some special ones, such as the final rankings, the FA Cup rankings...

"Li, is your salary really that high?"

"If we really achieve good results, your prize money probably won't be enough for them to share, right?"

After the meeting, Lyman asked quietly.

He was a little curious about this; if he could really afford to pay that bonus amount, his salary would probably be higher than Wenger's...

"Um......"

"Of course I don't have that much money."

"This is a bonus arranged by the club."

"I just told Chris to let you know this news."

"Since we're going to give them out anyway, why not give you guys a little boost beforehand..."
