Chapter 79
Li Yanqing didn't dare to let the players teach themselves anymore.
He found that if something unexpected happened, he couldn't bear the consequences.
But from another perspective, being able to learn to"fill in" only shows that Joe Hart is really proficient in this aspect.
As for whether it will have any impact on him......
We have to observe further.
After the next round of the league, they will play in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The opponent is West Ham United.
There is no doubt that it will be a very stressful game, and the opponent is stronger than the current Aston Villa.
Judging from the situation in the last game, Burton is still not strong enough when facing a real strong enemy.
The main problem lies in the defense of the wing.
Miller has always been partnered with Sun Yan on the right, and their defense is still usable. As long as Enzo is not in trouble, Sun Yan is unlikely to have any problems.
Jamie on the left is basically useless in defense, and the left back is the most sad position. The young man from the youth training team has not made much progress no matter how he practices.
Basically, Enzo has to fill the position alone.
So when the opponent has a strong winger breaking through the left, or even passing Enzo, these hidden problems will explode one after another.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Yanqing hopes Enzo will focus on defense.
Even if there is a slightly more stable player standing on his left, he doesn't mind Enzo occasionally running up to participate in the attack.
(PS: In the last game, Baselli played as a central defender, Enzo played as a defensive midfielder, Turner did not play, and after Enzo left the field, Baselli played as a defensive midfielder. I forgot to mention it, my mistake)
Perhaps we can hope that West Ham United will underestimate the opponent?
The opponent has performed well this season and has a great chance of entering the Europa League.
Maybe they will give up the FA Cup because of this.
Thinking of this, Li Yanqing hammered himself.
He is a head coach who is going backwards. He always puts his hopes on the opponent making mistakes.
"Cheng Mengmeng, please send me the data of West Ham United this season and last season."
"Chris, study with me tonight......."
February 7, the 31st round of the English Championship.
Burton won the game without much effort. Baselli played very well in the central defender position, completely squeezing out Turner's position.
After the game, Di Matteo, who had not been in touch for a long time, took the initiative to contact Li Yanqing.
"Congratulations"
"I heard about that. I'm so happy for you."
"You should be doing well now, right?"
The other party said with a meaningless greeting.
"Of course, everything is fine now."
"Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"
"Yes, I want to recommend someone to you. I heard that you are short of staff now."Di Matteo didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"I have a student who was my teaching assistant."
"But I disbanded the team not long after that, you know."
"Is he good enough?" Hearing Di Matteo's words, Li Yanqing was excited.
The other party had expressed his support for him before, and he was very grateful for it. Now, he wanted to recommend him an assistant coach, which would just solve his problem of insufficient manpower.
"Of course, I don’t hire people randomly."
"If you have no problem with that, I'll have him get ready now and then we'll set off for Burton."
"No, no problems at all!"
"I think you should be able to chat, after all, you are all young people......"
A few days later, Li Yanqing met the assistant coach mentioned by Di Matteo.
He was a little fat and small, not like a former player, and he was still very young.
He looked the same age as him.
"Hello, I'm Neville, I finally meet you!"
"An amazing coach who secured the position of head coach at the age of 26!"
"You are my idol!"
The boy was very enthusiastic and rushed towards Li Yanqing as soon as they met.
This made the latter wonder if he was really an assistant coach and not some fanatical fan pretending to be one?
"Um, I think you should introduce yourself first."
"Then there's the hug"
"Oh, sorry, I'm a little excited."He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly
"My name is Neville, I'm 25 years old, and I used to work for Mr. Di Matteo."
"The kind that can do magic?"
"No, my last name is not Longbottom......."Neville shook his head. Li Yanqing's interruption did not affect his enthusiasm.
"Come to think of it, I’m from Burton too!"
"Great to see Burton have a shot at the Premier League!"
"I originally thought that this could only be accomplished by me in 20 years."
"If you don't show up"
"Don't worry, leave it to me."Li Yanqing saw that this young man named Neville had the same mentality as himself when he was in Mourinho's team. I just don't know how good he is.
"Okay, let's talk business."
"Although I do not doubt Mr. Di Matteo's character, routine inspections are still necessary."
"What are you good at?"
"Training, especially various technical movements."Speaking of his professional field, Neville seemed very confident.
"But if I have to break it down, I am better at coaching defensive players."
"Physical fitness can also be arranged, of course the level is definitely far worse than that of big guys like Pintus."
Li Yanqing nodded. Pintus is the best physical fitness coach in the world. He even thinks there is no one better.
Under his planning, many of their players performed very well.
Especially Modric, who is in his thirties and can run as fast as those guys in their twenties.
If the opponent is better than Pintus at this age, then he must be cheating.
"Are there any specific tactical details? You should have watched Burton's game, right?"
"Of course, I watch every one."......
Di Matteo's vision is still good. After Li Yanqing talked with him, he found that he didn't have any major shortcomings except that he had no actual combat experience.
There is hope that he can be trained in the direction of Chris.
In addition, the other party is good at training players' skills, which may be of great help to me in training players' skills.
At least Joe Hart doesn't have to teach Sun Yan anymore.
Signed!
