Chapter 76
"Lee, think of a solution!"
"Murphy was targeted, and it was difficult for Mathias to break through alone"
"Nasri couldn't find any good opportunities either."
Chris's inner thoughts were not as rich as Li Yanqing's. He focused on the game and easily found the problem.
"Oh, wait, I'm thinking......"
"There is still a way."
Li Yanqing actually said this to Chris.
There is actually no good solution for the current situation. Their offense can't break the opponent's defense, and their defense can't stop the opponent's offense. They can only shrink back and defend, and then pray that the opponent will replace both the offensive and defensive cores in the second half.
The problem is that if they shrink the defense, the opponent may not replace Terry and Grealish who still have spare power in the second half.
If they continue to attack, once they lose another goal, they can basically surrender this game.
"Damn it, what are you afraid of? Just fight!"
Li Yanqing didn't think it was a good idea to lose the ball so early and then retreat to defend.
"Push forward!"
"Only Bradford is left behind to create offside, Sun Yan and Enzo, please protect them more......"
"Oh, it's started again."Chris understood Li Yanqing's arrangement as soon as he saw it, and he decided to fight to the death with the opponent.
Soon, Li Yanqing paid the price for his willfulness.
At the beginning of the second half, they lost another goal.
Grealish found another opportunity and scored the goal himself.
Joe Hart in front of the goal was already a little angry. He frowned and blamed the defensive players.
The opponent had no less than six shots in this game. If it weren't for him, Burton would have been penetrated.
And the number of shots on their side, uh......
"Substitution, replace Miller and Enzo with Jamie and O'Grady."
Li Yanqing took advantage of the break to make the first substitution.
Anyway, they were already two goals behind, and there was no point in playing like this.
Just replace the offensive players and keep fighting.
Terry must fight no matter what.
This was the first time he made the decision to replace Enzo. The reason why it was Enzo instead of Baselli was because Baselli had [man-marking].
He was still able to limit Grealish most of the time.
Enzo was a little unhappy because he didn't perform well in this game.
Li Yanqing touched his head and didn't say anything.
He would understand if he didn't perform well when he met the opponent.
As for the last spot, he was going to keep it for Nasri.
The latter's physical problem was not completely solved. Once the intensity of the game increased, his fatigue value had reached 70%. He could only continue to play for 20 minutes at most.
Even if this would greatly weaken Burton's offensive ability, he had to make a substitution.
He knew the importance of things. If Nasri was injured, they would not have to lose this game.
"Quinn!"
"Come on, you have to help me next."
"Let's change positions and let me rest for a while."
In the 65th minute, Nasri found an opportunity and pushed Quinn forward.
"See the boss? He's watching me."
"If you keep playing like this, I'll probably be out soon."
"But you know, the level of those midfielders is far from good. If they come on, we will most likely lose."
"I have to stay on the field, so the next offensive task will be temporarily handed over to you."
"I understand."Quinn nodded, but still looked at the opponent's restricted area with some concern.
"But Ogrady's footwork is average, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch my ball"
"I'm not very good at spreading it......."
"It doesn't matter, the boss didn't bring him in to help him score, but to help him hold off the opposing defender."Nasri quickly shook his head and explained.
"Murphy didn't do much in the first half, but he must have some energy left. The next attack will focus on him."
"If you can't find him, pass the ball to Jamie."
"Then he returned to the outside of the penalty area and prepared to take a long shot from the second point."
"Go!"
"You are better than me in this aspect!"
Quinn was pushed forward by Nasri. It was not the first time for him to serve as the core of the attack, but he was still a little nervous at this time.
He was absolutely confident that he was better than Choudhury.
But let alone Nasri, even the previous Palmer's level was far better than his.
Can he play a role no less than the other party?
Li Yanqing on the sidelines also noticed that they exchanged positions.
But he did not stop Nasri's decision, but shouted"Come on" a few times!
He would not stop it, and even hoped that Quinn would take over the important task of the midfield core as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he would not have kept looking for someone to lead him.
From the previous veteran Williamson to the current Nasri......
The good news is that Burton's persistent attack was somewhat effective.
During this period, the opponent finally made a substitution, replacing Terry, the former iron-blooded captain of the Blues.
The timing was just right.
In the 75th minute, Quinn found the first good opportunity.
Thanks to the absence of Terry, Murphy finally got rid of the opponent's desperate defense and had more passing positions.
Unfortunately, his pass was a little too long.
If it was at the beginning of the game, it wouldn't be a big problem, but at this point in time, it is estimated that only [Perpetual Motion Machine] Sun Yan can receive the ball
"Good job! Keep passing like that!"
Although he didn't succeed, Murphy still gave Quinn a thumbs up.
He gave the first thumbs up of the day!
It's good to dare to try.
It seems that he has noticed Quinn's intention, and Jamie on the wing is not in a hurry to get close to the penalty area.
He understands that neither he nor O'Grady is the main attack point, as long as he pulls the defensive players away and then rushes up to provide cover at the right time.
Five minutes later, Li Yanqing could no longer hold back.
The team's offensive looks better and better, but Nasri is almost at his limit. If he is replaced at this time, the transition from the backcourt to the frontcourt will be paralyzed again.
Bet that the team can equalize, or focus on the players?
Only then did he realize how entangled Mourinho was in using Ibrahimovic.
Just as he was scratching his head, a whistle interrupted his thinking!
"Burton scored!"
"A beautiful through ball!"
"They got back one point, and now the score is 1 to 2!"
Huh?
What's going on?
Li Yanqing didn't pay attention just now, so he asked Chris
"Quinn made a great pass"
"Breaking through the opponent's defense, Murphy then scored the ball."
Chris was not very excited at this time. Although Quinn's wonderful pass and Murphy's recovery of a point were worth a little happiness, the team was still behind after all.
Li Yanqing looked at the field.
This kid really found an opportunity!
Then, he was dumbfounded again.
Name: Francis Quinn
Age: 17.
Status: Good.
Fatigue value: 50%.
Injury probability: 20%.
Entries: [Through ball】,【Cloud Piercing Arrow】,【[A flash of inspiration].
Quinn finally mastered the essential skill of a midfielder attacking player [through pass].
But at the same time, his [epiphany player] has completely disappeared.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
