Chapter 85
Burton continued its good performance in the league, defeating Wigan Athletic.
But in the very next game, they lost to Derby County.
The main reason for the loss was that Li Yanqing made a large-scale rotation in this game.
It is already the second half of the season, so he has to make a choice every time there are two games a week.
Li Yanqing chose to let his players have a good rest.
Nasri, Jamie, Matthias and other proud soldiers were all pressed on the bench.
Their fatigue value is already very high.
Joe Hart did not play in this game. He was not because of fatigue, but Li Yanqing wanted the old goalkeeper Biwatt to maintain his form.
In short, they lost again.
However, due to the penalty points for Huddersfield, they have not fallen out of the top four for the time being despite their poor performance in the league recently.
"Lee, West Bromwich Albion and us are in a tight race"
"Only one point behind us."
Chris is not satisfied with the team's recent performance. He hopes Burton can get into the top two and get the promotion ticket.
Otherwise, even if they maintain their current ranking, they will still have to play in the post-season playoffs.
No one will be willing to let them win in that kind of game. It will definitely be a tough battle.
Aston Villa, who are at the top of the list, have performed too well this season. They are already far ahead in points and have no hope of catching up.
As for Swansea City, who are in second place, they are currently 15 points ahead of them.
There are still 14 rounds of the league. Although the opponents are not weak, as long as Burton work harder, there is still hope of surpassing them.
"Look at the schedule and calculate how many double games we have left."
"Our main lineup is still quite strong, but the depth is not up to par."
Li Yanqing was also very depressed about this. He has tried his best to make sure that his main players can play in full.
Quinn, Murphy, Enzo, Sun Yan......
These youngsters have hardly had a rest.
Murphy might be a little better, after all, he seldom plays the whole game.
But the others are generally not easily replaced.
As for Jami and Nasri, he dare not let them start every game.
Quinn will occasionally take over the core responsibility, and if he cannot complete it, Jami and Matthias will assist.
But sometimes Jami and Nasri are not on the court, and the offense has to rely on metaphysics.
They can only count on Matthias's superb performance or Quinn's [Arrow Through the Clouds] and [Flash of Inspiration] which are rarely used.
This leads to their good performance against most strong opponents, but they always lose points to weak teams.
"Let me see......Only once."
"But there was another time when we had three games a week......If we don't play in the FA Cup."
Chris didn't relax much because there are already five games, and they can win two of them as normal.
As a team at the forefront, Burton's style of play has been studied by many Championship teams.
The situation like last season where opponents lost the game because of carelessness has basically not happened again.
""Okay, I'll find a way."
Li Yanqing nodded. In fact, he was already thinking of a way.
Because at this time, he was assisting Miss Fanny and the club's team doctor to prepare test reports for the players.
"How is it going?"
"Not bad, most people have no problem."
Miss Fanny's judgment is trustworthy because it is not much different from the values he saw.
"Especially Quinn, he's as strong as a bull"
"Yes, his physical fitness is really good."Li Yanqing affirmed.
In fact, according to Quinn's conditions, the most suitable template is still De Bruyne's bulldozer-like midfielder.
However, the latter is very versatile in all aspects, especially the ridiculously accurate passing level. It is estimated that Quinn will find it difficult to catch up in this life.
If he is not so strong, Sterling will not be so happy
"Matthias, Enzo, and Bradford are all very good."
Miss Fanny handed Li Yanqing all the information she had sorted out, except for the last one.
"But Nasri's body is a bit strange"
"I've been here for a while, but he doesn't seem to be getting any better."
"If you want to fully recover, you may have to stop playing for a long time."
"How can that be possible?"Li Yanqing frowned. The team couldn't do without him now.
Putting aside the geographical and nationality factors, the opponent is the most famous player in Burton.
From the performance point of view, he is also the best, and no one can replace his role.
And if he doesn't play, where can he find a midfield master to teach Quinn?
Although the latter's progress is not fast, it is already very fast compared to when he partnered with Williamson.
"How long will the suspension last?"
Miss Fanny's answer made Li Yanqing despair
"It's hard to say, but if you stop, you will recover."
"One year, two years, I don’t know"
"If I continue to play, I don't know when the situation will suddenly get worse......."
"oh......This is really terrible news."Li Yanqing patted his head and tried to find other solutions.
The opponent finally adjusted his mentality and overcame the influence of [Greedy Ghost].
But he didn't expect that the sudden increase and decrease in weight would cause hidden dangers in his body.
In the case of maintaining high-intensity competition, there might be no way to get better.
"Sorry, I don't have any other solution."
Miss Fanny was a little embarrassed to look at Li Yanqing.
She knew this was an unsolvable problem.
Burton needed Nasri very much, no matter from which angle.
Continuing the game might worsen. As for stopping the game......
Even if he recovered, he might not be able to find the feeling of playing football again.
This was equivalent to her having already pronounced the end of his football career in advance.
Li Yanqing was a little unsure whether he should tell the player about this.
If Nasri asked to leave the team due to physical reasons, he would not be able to say anything to keep him. He really didn't have the face to ask the other party to gamble everything for the team.
But if he didn't say it, it would obviously violate his principles.
"It's okay Miss Fanny, it's not your problem"
"In the end, I can only blame myself......."
