Chapter 74
Li Yanqing and Chris contacted almost every player who left Huddersfield for free.
But because they were made uncomfortable by Burton fans in the previous game, most people sneered at Burton.
If they were worth zero, they would rather return to the top league.
This is indeed the case. Castro returned to La Liga and Menez returned to Ligue 1.......
The good news is that Baselli, whom Li Yanqing wanted the most, was willing to talk to them.
In the last game, he was the first midfield barrier of Huddersfield, and he restricted Nasri very well, showing his good defensive ability.
As a result, they finally had to rely on Quinn's long-range shot to break the deadlock.
"So glad you could make it!"
"Do you need me to show you around the club?"
Li Yanqing personally received the midfielder and borrowed Robinson's translator.
As for the entry, he had seen it before.
Name: Daniele Baselli
Age: 24.
Status: Average.
Fatigue value: 20%.
Injury probability: 10%.
Entry: [Interception】,【Marking】,【
Enzo's entry is currently [Interception] and [Master-level Coverage], while Baselli's entry is [Interception] combined with [Marking]. Judging from the entry alone, his coverage and defensive awareness are not as good as Enzo's, but he is better in defensive skills.
The technical entry is [Disruptive Midfielder], which is dedicated to defensive midfielders.
He is a very mature big man with a beastly waist.
"No, I'm already very impressed by this place."
Baselli shook his head. It was his first time to come to the Riverbank Stadium, but he had already seen the situation here.
"I actually received offers from several Serie A clubs, but I still wanted to see what was different here."
""Have you found the answer?" Li Yanqing asked.
Baselli did not speak, but looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the training ground.
Quinn was there, playing a passing game with his teammates.
A dozen people stood in a circle, and one or two players in the middle were responsible for stealing.
A very common training mode of small games.
The pass did not last long, and the ball was caught by Enzo.
"Quinn! Your passing intention is too obvious!"
"And it’s not fast enough. When the ball is at your feet during the game, two seconds is too much for you to think!"
"Remember! Don't stare at the ball, watch the situation!"
Chris was directing the players' training. Under Li Yanqing's leadership, this nice guy had started to swear frequently.
Quinn smiled awkwardly, saying that he understood, and then ran into the circle to grab the ball.
Baselli was a little confused.
They were defeated by a guy who looked so weak?
"Don't underestimate Quinn, he always plays a role at critical moments."Li Yanqing noticed Baselli's gaze and patted him on the shoulder.
"Every one of my players is important."
"Baselli, trust me."
"The future here will definitely be better than Turin"
"You can take your time looking for the answer, we have plenty of time!"
"I will find it slowly." Baselli failed to solve the doubt, but decided to stay for the time being.
"The contract is only for one year. If we are promoted to the Premier League, we will have priority to renew the contract. Is that okay?"
When it comes to the contract issue, the player himself has become quite clear.
"Of course, no problem, but you know, we can't afford to pay as much as Huddersfield for the time being."
"But the normal level is fine......."
A day later, Burton Athletic announced that Baselli had officially signed with the club.
Li Yanqing said that he valued him very much and gave him the club's No. 4 jersey.
When the previous batch of Burton players were cleared, most of the main numbers were vacated.
Now there are only No. 1 Biwat, No. 5 Bradford, No. 8 Nasri, No. 9 O'Grady, and No. 11 Jamie.
Although this does not mean that they will definitely have a starting position, playing in these iconic jerseys will undoubtedly make the players more proud.
He is not going to give these numbers to others yet. Murphy, Quinn, Enzo, Sun Yan and others are too young, and Matias has joined the team too recently. Nasri is mainly because he has been famous for a long time.
Baselli is valued by Li Yanqing on the one hand, and on the other hand, in order to compensate him, he gave up his sky-high salary and joined the team with a pay cut.
Finally, there is Joe Hart.
He definitely deserves the No. 1 jersey, but the old goalkeeper Biwat has been playing for Burton for a long time. Even if he is now a substitute, Li Yanqing can't say that he should change his number.
This will make both the players and the fans very sad.
In short, with the joining of Baselli, Li Yanqing finally got together two main defensive midfielders.
But a new problem has also arisen, who will organize the ball in the backcourt?
Now Burton’s solution is to let Quinn retreat to this position to receive the ball, and then Nasri will respond in front.
The problem with this is that Quinn’s small-scale cooperation has improved quite well, but this is obviously not the midfield core play that Li Yanqing hopes for.
He has always hoped that Quinn will become an offensive player like Nasri.
Now it seems that he is a bit closer to the direction of B2B midfielder.
"How about I organize it?"
Enzo said this.
After joining the team, he has been following Li Yanqing's arrangement and conscientiously defending. He has completed the task very well, but he has no chance to show his abilities in other aspects.
"You?" Li Yanqing was now full of doubts.
Enzo's entry was a typical defensive player, and he looked like he could become a defensive master in the future.
But what was strange was that his technical entry was not [Destructive Midfielder], but [Backer].���
Li Yanqing has not yet clearly distinguished the specific differences between the two types of skills. He has always thought that [Backer] is similar to [Barrier]. No matter how you describe it, they are both defensive.
"Yes, I was in charge of organizing a lot of the time when I was playing football."
"Why are you mostly on defense in the videos Felcher gave me?"
Li Yanqing hadn't watched the other team's previous games. He only watched the highlights edited by Felcher.
They were basically Enzo's personal defensive show. There was really little content about offense.
"Call everyone over, let’s play a 30-minute training match!"
"You will be in charge of the organization!"
