Chapter 312 Final Round of Group Stage

the next day.

In the final round of the European Championship group stage, Burton Albion will host Porto.

Both teams have already secured qualification for the knockout stage, and their scores are identical, differing only in goal difference.

As long as Burton remains undefeated, they can secure first place.

The subsequent draw will pit them against the second-place teams from other groups, which will likely be easier to beat than the first-place teams from those groups.

Of course, we can't be sure.

Because some strong teams are unfortunately matched with other strong teams in the same group, and then they get second place.

There are also some groups that don't have an absolute strong player, and are eventually overtaken by dark horses.

But overall, the probability of finishing first in the group is higher if you face a weaker opponent.

Therefore, both sides will do their best to win.

In terms of lineup, there haven't been any major changes for Porto.

Apart from their goalkeeper Casillas in the last match.

The player has retired completely and returned to Real Madrid as the assistant to the foundation's general manager.

Although Florentino Pérez appeared ruthless in getting rid of the players, it must be said that he still had some humanity.

At least they haven't completely forgotten the team's heroes.

In contrast, the neighbor's...

Burton's changes weren't significant either, but their captain, Bradford, has returned to the field.

After the last match, Li Yanqing confirmed that he had recovered well and was ready to play as the team's starting left-back.

Another noteworthy point is that Blind was placed in the center-back position, partnering with Manolas in this match.

The match officially began as the referee blew his whistle.

In the very first minute of the game, Porto proved that their good form was no exaggeration.

The winger took possession of the ball and advanced, and after several passes with the center forward and attacking midfielder, he actually made it all the way to the edge of Burton's penalty area.

Fortunately, Sun Yan was not beaten, but instead blocked the winger.

However, it didn't have much effect; the winger cut the ball inside and then shot.

[Volley Shot]!

"Holy crap!" Li Yanqing was completely bewildered.

Such a smooth offensive in the very first wave?

This is because they're being bullied by having only one defensive midfielder...

Fortunately, the ball didn't go in.

The player's shot was a bit off; the ball hit the crossbar and went out of bounds.

Joe Hart broke out in a cold sweat; he almost thought he was going to be defeated by this unreliable long-range shot again!

With such a short distance and such a large arc, it's incredibly difficult for the goalkeeper to predict the ball's trajectory!

"cheer!"

"Don't let them get close to the top of the arc!"

Joe Hart shouted twice, still believing himself to be the commander of the defense, even though Bradford was present.

That's indeed the case. The latter has the highest status in the team, but no tactical importance.

The team's performance has actually improved after not playing for almost half a year...

A few minutes later, the opposing team launched another fierce attack with the ball.

"They're advancing very quickly!"

"A simple and direct pass!"

"It seems they want to break through Burton's defense with the fewest passes possible!"

"They did a great job too!"

"It's over again!"

From the commentator's perspective, Porto's attacking players seemed like gods descended from heaven, always finding the most direct positions to deliver the ball into the attacking third.

Moreover, they had this attitude from the very beginning, so there was no need for them to adapt to the game.

"What are they trying to prove!"

"My God, it's rare to see a team with such a strong desire to win!"

Will Burton Albion surrender?

Upon hearing the commentator's words, Li Yanqing's face immediately darkened.

Where did they find this commentator?

They're even using terms like "surrender"?

Although the opponent's offensive did look very fierce.

Sun Yan failed to defend this time and was beaten by the opposing winger. The ball was then sent directly into the penalty area.

[Pass the ball past the defender] and then [cross from the byline]!

Burton still had a slight advantage inside the penalty area, with Manolas displaying great composure and accurately blocking the opponent's striker's position.

"That attack was really sharp."

Li Yanqing couldn't help but nod. Since Burton strengthened their defense this year, their defense has been very solid during the game.

But in less than five minutes of the game, their defense had already been breached twice.

The winger, in particular, who was dribbling the ball forward, was especially noticeable.

Name: Jesus Corona

Age: 25 years old.

Condition: Excellent.

Fatigue level: 20%.

Probability of injury: 5%.

Entry: [Passing the ball past the defender], [Volley shot], [Cross from the byline], [Winger]

His abilities are similar to Kvaradona's, except that his "Fast Wingman" skill has been replaced with his shooting skill "Volley Shot".

Based on his current performance, he is not as good as the former in terms of dribbling and breaking through on the wing, but he is much better than Kvaradona in terms of making the final pass or taking the shot.

However, his performance relied somewhat on being in "excellent" condition, which failed to catch Li Yanqing's eye.

He's already 25 and still doesn't have master-level skills!

Average talent.

But in this match, he remains Burton's formidable opponent.

On the pitch, seeing his teammates struggling to find their rhythm, Bradford started to get restless.

He pointed ahead and started shouting.

"We cut them off immediately!"

"Then send the ball to the opponent's attacking third!"

"Don't be afraid of fouling!"

No one at Burton has received a yellow card yet, so there's no problem with them making a bold move.

Li Yanqing was just about to say that too, but since someone had already spoken up, he gave up the idea.

It's better to have our own captain there...

Burton made some big moves, and Porto struggled to keep up.

The attack started to falter, often with players just about to rush forward to receive the ball when they were pushed aside by Burton's players.

They don't just collide with the opponent; they just push the opposing players away.

After all, this is an international competition, not the English Premier League.

"very good!"

"Increase the intensity for them!"

"Start fighting back!"

Li Yanqing was quite satisfied that the team was able to adjust on its own.

Under his tutelage, all the team captains possessed extremely high tactical skills and were able to quickly determine how to adjust their assigned areas of responsibility.

All he needs to do is remind the team at crucial moments.

It was worth it for Li Yanqing to stand on the sidelines and direct for two years.

He made temporary adjustments to the players' details in each game, and today they have developed some ability to adjust on their own.

I believe that before long, he, as the head coach, will be able to stand comfortably on the sidelines as a mere accessory.

This is good!

To avoid shouting it out directly, which would allow the opposing players and coaches to hear...
