Chapter 371 Temporarily Lagging Behind

“goooooooal!”

"The ball is in!"

"Near the end of the first half!"

"From Pellegrini!"

"Beautiful shot! This goal isn't the goalkeeper's fault; it's entirely the defender's fault!"

In the 43rd minute, Roma scored their first goal of the match.

That's what happened.

After one attack, Rome launched a quick counterattack, just like before.

But they were lucky this time because Sun Yan wanted to try assisting in the attack, so he was positioned a bit forward and couldn't get back.

That left only Manolas and Blind.

The problem still lies with Blinder.

His position is the middle one of the three center-backs. It's because of the defensive problems that they put players on his left and right.

However, Araujo moved up to the defensive midfield position on the other side to cover for David Luiz.

With Sun Yan still unable to return, Burton's defense suddenly became vulnerable.

In the two-on-two defense, they were completely outmatched by their opponents this time.

Joe Hart is known for his ability to save one-on-one chances, but this time the opposing team had two players, so they easily broke through the goal.

"Sun Yan!"

"You've lost your place!"

Joe Hart didn't blame Blind; everyone knew his defense was bad, so this time he went directly to Sun Yan.

According to the plan, he was to return to fill the vacancy.

"Feel sorry!"

That won't happen again!

Sun Yan did not shirk responsibility, but now that they have conceded a goal, discussing these issues is meaningless.

Who could blame them when Roma's attack seemed a bit weak earlier...?

As a result, the moment they made a mistake, their opponents seized the opportunity.

Compared to Sun Yan, Blind actually felt even more guilty.

This wasn't a one-on-one defense; it was a failure to hold the line when teammates were cooperating.

In the past, this would have been an unacceptable mistake.

Yes, after Blind regained his place on the field, he also began to struggle to accept his own performance.

He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at the direction of the opponent's goal.

The ball has already been lost, and it's difficult for him to guarantee that he won't lose another one.

But right now, his greatest strength is offense!

Li Yanqing, watching the players blaming themselves from the sidelines, did not offer any words of comfort.

There's no need for that.

There are no more fragile players on the team.

However, there are coaches who are easily offended.

"Oh!"

"That was a goal we absolutely shouldn't have conceded!"

"Several people made the same mistake at the same time!"

Lehmann was a little taken aback by the way the ball was conceded. Li Yanqing had previously thought he was very composed, but as soon as the ball was conceded, he immediately reverted to his true nature.

After all, this was the first time he had used his own tactics...

Can understand.

"The first half is almost over, so the locker room is yours to manage this time."

"You can decide what to say."

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"Of course, he's been captain for so long." Compared to tactical planning, Lyman is actually better at this aspect.

This is his forte.

Halftime break...

"Hey, aren't you going to the locker room, Li?" Chris was a little confused as to why Li Yanqing was still there.

He really enjoys giving his players tactical instructions from midfield.

“No, Lyman is in the past. We have more important things to do.”

"Navey, analyze the opponent's formation coverage in the first half."

Li Yanqing went directly to the coach's bench and stood behind Nawei.

The current Roma team is very stable, but their weaknesses are also easy to find.

That means they are not good at adapting to change.

If Burton hadn't conceded a goal, then it's hard to say.

But now that Roma has taken the lead, they will certainly continue to use the same defensive and counter-attacking tactics as in the first half.

This would be a great opportunity.

"Found it, this is it."

At a certain frame, Li Yanqing pressed pause.

Then he pointed to the position between the center-back and the defensive midfielder.

"This looks like the weakest point, but it's hard to say what will happen if the opponent changes their defensive midfielder in the second half."

"In addition, the flanks can also be utilized."

"Send the results to Lehman and tell Bell and Dybala to get ready."

“Okay.” Neville nodded and quickly agreed.

"Wait, Lee, are you planning to retire?" Chris still looked puzzled.

Why was Lehmann suddenly introduced to the team?

"This should be your job!"

"Are you crazy, Chris! Why would I retire at my age?" Li Yanqing quickly shook his head and explained.

"Lehmann really wants to be the head coach, so let him get some experience."

"He should leave here next season."

"Uh, has any team invited him?" Chris hadn't heard anything about it.

After all, Lyman was an assistant coach for Li Yanqing's private team, so he didn't need to tell Chris about his situation.

"It will be available soon."

“He’s been contacting a few teams that are a good fit for him lately. He’s been getting restless since the mid-season training camp.”

"Being the head coach is still more tempting."

"Then you'll need to find a new assistant coach, won't you?" Chris still didn't quite understand.

No coach would want their hard-earned assistant coach to leave.

If they replace them with someone new, they'll have to start all over again...

"Let's talk about it next season," Li Yanqing said with a smile.

"The match is about to begin, and our current goal is to win the Europa League title."

"This is the most important thing."

"By the way, there's something I need your help with, Chris."

"We'll hand this over to Rhine at the end of the season."

Li Yanqing pulled a notebook out of his bag and said.

"Some insights into training players."

"You know, I had some disagreements with him before regarding youth players."

"That guy is still angry with me."

"It's best if you hand it over to him."

"Huh?" Chris didn't actually know what Rhine's attitude was towards Li Yanqing.

He hasn't been paying attention to any of this lately.

But a little thought reveals that it's because the players developed by Rheinland can't get into the first team, so they're complaining.

In the past, any promising young players in the youth training team would be promoted immediately.

Perhaps Rhine hasn't gotten used to it yet.

"I will."

"Actually, Rhine doesn't need to rush."

"We probably won't have any opportunities to buy players for the next few years."

"We can only poach players from the youth training team."

"Li, you have no idea how huge the expense of building a stadium is..."
