Chapter 103
On the 25th, Burton defeated Bristol City again.
They continued to maintain an extremely strong posture in the league.
There is nothing much to say about this. Li Yanqing feels that the Premier League is more worthy of his attention.
Guardiola's Manchester City has played a very dominant performance this season and is very likely to win the championship with a score of over 100.
Although Manchester United, led by Mourinho, is deeply involved in various unfavorable rumors, it still maintains a good result of second place.
Under the leadership of Pochettino, Tottenham has cultivated a number of star players such as Kane, Eriksen, and Ali, who occupy the third position. Chelsea, who Burton will face in the FA Cup final, is currently ranked fourth in the league. Wenger's Arsenal has recently won three consecutive games and is only one step away from the top four.......
"We will be able to join their battle next year, right?"
Neville was the first to discover what Li Yanqing was paying attention to.
"What? You think we can finish in the top four in our first season in the Premier League?"
"This is not much easier than when Leicester City won the championship."
Li Yanqing shook his head. Young people are like this. They are usually a little too ambitious.
Now the English Championship has not ended yet, and they are already thinking about the Champions League.
He doesn't have such courage.
"Last year, Burton fans would not have thought that they would have a chance of promotion this year."
"At that time, they were still seeking relegation."
Neville didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Miracles always need people to create them.
In the eyes of Burton people, Li Yanqing is already"the head coach who can create miracles the most."
"Thanks for your support, Neville"
"But sometimes the head coach should be more sober"
"We have 60 million, which may seem like a lot, but it's nothing in the Premier League."
Li Yanqing knows very well how much the big clubs are trying to recruit players. Even ordinary Premier League clubs have considerable transfer fees every season.
It would be a good result for them to stay in the league next season with this 60 million.
Every line needs to be supplemented with combat power. After Jamie leaves, he has to find a winger with enough ability.
There is also the old goalkeeper Biwatt, who will retire after the end of this season. The team cannot have only Joe Hart as a goalkeeper.
At least 4-6 players need to be added to ensure competitiveness in the Premier League next season.
After that, a series of issues such as team running-in must be considered. The Premier League is not that easy.
"Okay, Neville, let’s not talk about this anymore. What has Chris been busy with lately?"
"Even the players' daily training is handed over to you."
"I remember that he had to watch over it himself to feel at ease, right?"
Chris, the hands-on assistant coach, recently threw all his work to Neville, which made Li Yanqing very confused.
He refused to take a break before.
"Chris? He seems to have been called to help Mr. Rhine improve some things in the youth training team."When mentioning Chris, Neville frowned.
"You know, he has a lot of work to do, which makes me dare not relax at all recently."
"By the way, Cheng Mengmeng also asked me to help her with data analysis"
"She said she would take some time off to do translation......."
"Well, there are still not enough people."Li Yanqing accepted this fact.
But where can he find an assistant at this time?
The list of players has not been finalized yet.
Now he understands the feelings of Professor Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson.
It is indeed a pleasant thing to have complete control of the club, but it also means more work for them.
Hmm.......Happy and painful.
On May 2, Burton will face Stoke City in a direct confrontation.
Currently, they are only two points apart, and the outcome will directly affect the ownership of the third place.
Both sides are fighting with all their strength.
Li Yanqing arranged an attacking line of Murphy, Jamie, Nasri, and Mathias. This is the most offensive lineup they can come up with now.
In the second half, Quinn was replaced. Since the last time, he found that this kid is also very useful as a substitute.
However, Quinn himself still said that he would rather start.
Stoke City, on the other hand, arranged a 4-3-3 lineup without showing any weakness, choosing to fight Burton head-on.
However, it did not achieve any results, and they were always at a disadvantage in the game.
"Neville, do you think a prismatic midfielder is better or three B2B midfielders?"
The opponent was at a disadvantage, but the arrangement of the midfield gave Li Yanqing some inspiration.
Not only Stoke City, but Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are now using three B2B midfielders.
The simple understanding is an all-around midfielder.
The three midfielders can attack and defend well. They gave up the previous practice of using a front midfielder to connect the front and midfield, and instead let the center forward retreat to do the work of receiving.
The representative forwards are Harry Kane and Firmino.
Especially Firmino, in order to come back to organize, he almost gave up most of his shooting opportunities.
"The midfield is not a big problem. Quinn and Enzo can both develop in this direction, but Baselli may have a hard time."
Neville quickly gave his answer.
"And most importantly, we don't have a striker who can take on the task of organizing."
"Murphy can't do it, and O'Grady can't do it either......."
"That makes sense."Li Yanqing nodded.
He actually wanted Li Yichuan to lean in this direction, but it was too difficult to let the latter give up shooting.
But in the Premier League, it would definitely not work to play in this way.
Without this kind of striker, we must have a big center like Aguero and Ibrahimovic.
It is difficult to hold off the opponent's back line with Murphy and O'Grady alone.
It's time for Ferchaer to find a group of suitable strikers.
While talking, Murphy found an opportunity and broke through the door of Stoke City.
Burton led one to zero.
This score was maintained until the end, and then the voice of the live commentary sounded.
"The game is over!"
"Burton won and they are now third!"
"Only three points away from second place Swansea City!"
"The battle for the second place is particularly fierce!"
"Which team will finally get the ticket to the Premier League?"
