Chapter 124 Commentator
Chapter 124 Commentator
“Miss Maggie, no one is stopping you from entering.”
"But you should have told me beforehand..."
Li Yanqing looked at the uninvited Miss Maggie with some displeasure. At that moment, she was holding a camera and taking pictures of Burton's second warm-up match.
Chris was standing next to her, arranging an interview for her later.
"Li, don't be like that. You were the one who agreed to let her conduct the interview at any time."
"It's not a big deal."
"Moreover, Ibrahimovic's signing has already become a major news story."
This man has changed; he used to despise this sharp-tongued reporter the most...
"Is management's job really that easy, Chris?"
"If you have a lot of time, you could totally go and help Neville!"
"Uh......"
“Alright, my coaches,” Miss Maggie interrupted their conversation.
"Stop joking around, my camera is full of your voices."
"I'm sure you don't want tomorrow's recording to be filled with the coaches' arguments."
Chris quickly made a "no problem" gesture and then wrote down his entire interview plan.
"This man... is beyond saving."
Li Yanqing covered his head; this was a man nearing forty.
His performance was so weak, it's hard to imagine how much damage love can do to young men.
Fortunately, neither Murphy nor Quinn has been rumored to be dating.
Or perhaps he was simply unaware of it?
Let's watch the warm-up matches instead.
After getting enough rest, Pepe finally got a chance to play, and his defensive performance was better than Bradford, David Luiz, and Araujo.
However, as he grew older, the "warrior monk" gradually transformed into a "holy monk".
Li Yanqing was training the team's tactics and also finalizing the starting lineup.
Now, Burton's starting positions are also open to competition.
He can start in every position except for goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Moreover, David Luiz and Blind can both play in multiple positions, including center-back, full-back, and defensive midfielder.
This will greatly enrich the team's tactical options.
It's worth mentioning that Joe Hart, the controversial goalkeeper, spent the entire holiday doing extra training.
Through his and Lyman's joint efforts, the negative label "butterfingers" was finally removed.
Now he wants to figure out how to remove the "filler" part as well.
Another factor hindering him from becoming a world-class goalkeeper is that the combination of "master-level goalkeeping" and "defensive goalkeeper" is not ideal.
[Abandoning the Gate to Attack] is already at the Master level, and it's difficult to modify.
As for whether a defensive goalkeeper can be transformed into an offensive goalkeeper, there's probably not much hope.
They've been practicing for over ten years; it's not something that can be easily changed.
What worries Li Yanqing the most is the young player Kvaladona.
A few days ago his condition was "excellent", but today it has inexplicably become "extremely poor".
This made Li Yanqing wonder if he had encountered some special circumstances.
But the truth is, that's not the case.
The young man did nothing and his mindset didn't change at all, but his condition was still fluctuating.
Moreover, after observing for a period of time, he discovered that the other party's status never included the "normal" option.
The underlying principle is currently unknown, and like the "off-the-charts" state, it requires further investigation.
This made him a little hesitant to start the young man...
It would be bad if my form suddenly dropped before the match.
After the competition, Ms. Maggie finally finished her interview.
Upon seeing Li Yanqing, he seemed to suddenly remember something.
"By the way, Coach, have you read the latest Burton Gazette?"
"No, I don't read newspapers."
Li Yanqing doesn't actually pay much attention to the news. All his information used to come from Chris, but now he needs John to provide it.
"Some people are criticizing your transfer strategy. Have you heard of Hans?"
"His rant was brilliant; I suggest you check it out."
"Hans? Who's that?"
Li Yanqing had never heard of this name before, and had no idea why the other party was interfering with his player recruitment.
“A commentator,” Chris explained.
"The kind that frequently appears on football programs."
"They always like to find fault with everything."
"It basically means that your player recruitment strategy was a failure."
"They're either veterans or young players; in his opinion, the only one who can really make a difference is Anderson."
"He felt that the signings of Ibrahimovic and Pepe would be the club's biggest mistake..."
“These two are the most important signings in my opinion.” Li Yanqing’s view was completely different from the other party’s.
These two, one in front and one behind, are truly like pillars of stability.
On the surface, Ibrahimovic appears to have recovered from his injury and returned to the court, while Pepe seems to be simply trying to maintain his form.
What the other party said wasn't entirely illogical.
"Never mind him, that's not important."
"We just need to win the game."
"Then everyone will shut up."
Li Yanqing had no intention of explaining. No matter what he said, there would always be far more people who questioned him than those who approved of him.
He doesn't have time to reply to everyone.
"Also, Miss Maggie, don't try to get any more explosive news from me."
"I have abandoned evil and turned to good."
"I can tolerate anything as long as it's not slander against me to my face."
“I understand. So you'll retaliate if he attacks you directly, right?” Miss Maggie smiled, having successfully grasped the key point in those few words.
This young head coach is ultimately not someone who can endure for long.
"Of course, if he said these things to my face."
"All I can say is, screw it, these guys aren't responsible for the team."
"All they do is stand in front of the screen and spit. Calling themselves commentators is pointless; they're more like clowns with their red noses removed..."
Miss Maggie got the answer she wanted.
Li Yanqing looked helplessly at Chris beside him.
The latter was holding up his phone, thanking everyone profusely, with the message he had just sent still displayed on the screen.
"Li, say something."
"Please, this concerns my entire future..."
"I'll treat you to a big meal."
"I'll treat you every week!"
