Chapter 347 Status Recovery

The final few minutes slipped away quietly.

This time, no savior stepped up to save the team, so Burton lost the game 2-3.

This is clearly not good news.

As a result of this defeat, they have now fallen out of the top four and are overtaken by Arsenal by one point.

As for Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, they're falling further and further behind...

For Li Yanqing, this wasn't entirely bad news.

At least Deulofeu's "Dribbling Mastery" skill was successfully activated.

Although his condition immediately dropped from "good" to "average" after the competition, compared to before, his efforts were not in vain.

He dared to dribble past them!

So Li Yanqing was actually in a pretty good mood.

But he still gave the players a cold look.

"We had a chance to take home a point in this match."

"But now, we're starting to fall behind in the league title race."

"They've lost two games in a row, and they're up by eleven points..."

"I am very unhappy."

Li Yanqing glanced at the dejected players, who were also frustrated about losing the game, even though the majority of the blame lay with the head coach.

They insist on using crucial matches to practice tactics!

Fortunately, they discovered something else and helped Deulofeu activate some of his abilities; otherwise, it would have been a complete failure.

"It's alright, boss."

"We will give it our all in the remaining matches!"

Every single one!

Quinn clenched his fists, feeling that he also had a big problem and couldn't think of a decent solution.

Apart from that free kick.

Yes, that was his idea...

"That's not necessary."

"Our goal in the league is to strive for a top-four finish."

"As for the championship, it's only possible if you can go without losing a single game."

"Let's not think about it."

Li Yanqing shook his head; there were still eleven minutes to go!

Even if they want to pursue, Manchester City will hardly give them so many more opportunities.

This team, under Guardiola's leadership, doesn't have any other distinguishing features except for its stability, which is quite remarkable.

So this match essentially ended their league title dream.

"Now we need to win the Europa League!"

"We're already in the round of 16. We just need to win four more matches to bring the trophy home."

"Although the opponents are not weak, they are still less difficult than the league."

"Are you confident?"

"Yes!" Ogladi was always the fastest to respond to the head coach's call.

He yelled at the top of his lungs, making it seem like he was the captain...

Tell me again, are you confident?

"Yes!" This time the players' voices were much louder, but they clearly hadn't expected what Li Yanqing was up to.

"Okay, then most of the holidays for the second half of the season will be canceled, and we'll focus on training!"

"We will do everything in our power to win the Europa League!"

"Huh?" The players were caught off guard by Li Yanqing's words.

Isn't this a moment to encourage them?

Why did the holiday suddenly disappear?

......

The next day, the training ground.

In fact, they should have rested today, because the players were quite tired after the game and could only do some maintenance training.

But Li Yanqing still called them over.

We can't do regular training, but we can have tactical lessons.

He made a point of having Lehmann prepare thoroughly and explain the defensive strategy to his players in detail.

Not only defenders and goalkeepers, but forwards also need to listen.

Like his mentor Mourinho, Li Yanqing does not allow any privileged players to appear.

Everyone needs to participate in defense.

Except for... Deulofeu.

He was singled out by Li Yanqing and trained alongside Nawei.

This kid's physical condition is actually quite good; he can withstand some strain.

As for defensive lessons, Lehman can give him some extra coaching later.

Activating his offensive attributes is more important.

"Yesterday you finally made your first dribble since you came to Burton."

"how do you feel?"

"At least I won't be criticized as trash by the fans anymore."

When Deulofeu played his first game, he was so badly criticized by fans that he almost had a mental breakdown.

Having failed to establish themselves at other clubs, Burton, who are determined to win the championship, are somewhat unqualified.

Yes, Burton Albion has already started selecting players.

Not just anyone can be admired by fans.

"To be honest, I didn't feel anything."

"I even felt ashamed."

Deulofeu shrugged; he finally realized where his problem lay.

“That’s something I used to do often, but it hasn’t happened in a long time.”

“I should be able to continue doing that.”

"Very good, then let's continue to find that feeling."

Li Yanqing pointed to the field, then looked at Nawei beside him.

The latter pointed to himself suspiciously.

"Nonsense, of course it's you. Why would I go?"

"You are the technical advisor!"

Nave's actual combat ability as a player... is clearly substandard.

His physical condition is really terrible.

However, standing there as a defensive stake is more than enough.

Li Yanqing deliberately didn't call any other defenders off the field, fearing that Deulofeu would be shut down again.

The youth training team has matches now, so they can't afford to cause any trouble.

It'll just be a bit of a hardship for Nave.

He looked the most relaxed...

This time, Li Yanqing's worries were a bit unnecessary.

Deulofeu hasn't returned to his best form, but as long as he can dribble past opponents normally, he shouldn't have much trouble getting past Nave.

The latter's reaction was also very slow...

Twenty minutes later.

"Huh...huh..."

"I'm not playing anymore! I'm not playing anymore!"

"Substitute!"

Neville sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Should we send him to challenge the players one-on-one?

Isn't that bullying someone?

Li Yanqing, with a broad smile, helped his capable assistant up.

"Don't do that, Neville."

"We got the result we wanted, didn't we?"

"Now, we can call Bradford over!"

One at a time!

With Bradford, Araujo, David Lewis, and others taking turns on the court, Deulofeu finally met the same fate as Neville.

Lying on the ground, I simply couldn't get up.

Li Yanqing can finally confirm that he now has a stable ability to dribble past opponents!

His success rate is only low when facing veterans like Manolas, Godin, and Pepe.

There is still a lack of experience.

But when facing young defenders, the success rate is over 60%!

The only problem is that the activation rate of "Extraordinary Skill" is a bit low.

It's okay, there's still hope...
