Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 307 New Guests

A few days later.

Li Yanqing has temporarily given up on finding a new winger because Bale has not yet made a decision.

It would probably be a bit difficult for him not to play golf.

As for the temporary signing, it is Deulofeu.

This kid is a perfect fit for the team's current plans.

It's okay if you're not feeling well; you can adjust gradually.

If Bale ultimately decides to come, it could also solve the team's immediate problem.

His form isn't great either, but his ability still surpasses that of many forwards.

Barker has already submitted a transfer request to Watford, and the two sides are discussing the price of the player deal.

Of course, it will most likely be a loan plus buyout arrangement.

As for Bale, it will most likely be a loan.

Unless the salary is reduced to one-tenth, it's probably not that bad.

In short, the former transfer is not difficult and can be easily secured, while the latter is less certain.

The transfer strategy can be adjusted at any time before the winter transfer window opens.

Today is the fifth round of the Europa League group stage, with Burton Albion hosting Feyenoord.

Burton currently has three wins and one draw, accumulating ten points. Even if they lose their last two matches, they have already secured a place in the knockout stage.

But that could drop them to second place in the group, since Porto have performed well.

Apart from the draw against Burton, they won all three other matches.

They are only one point behind, but are ranked second due to a slightly lower goal difference.

As for Feyenoord and Young Boys of Nepal, they can already announce their departure from the Europa League stage.

They clearly weren't really focused on fighting Burton in this match, and played rather carelessly.

They lost at home last time, so it's probably even less likely they'll win this time...

In fact it does.

Home advantage can sometimes play a very significant role.

Especially in international competitions like this, to be honest, apart from those who travel thousands of miles to support their team, practically no one will choose to support the opposing team.

Playing football under these conditions is a perfect combination of favorable timing, location, and personnel.

Li Yanqing even confidently sent his own youth training players onto the field.

They probably won't have much to do in the upcoming matches.

The final group stage match is a battle for first place in the group; the subsequent knockout stage is even less of a concern.

No game is one you can afford to lose.

"Formation! Pay attention to formation!"

"Kid! You're too slow! Get back to your position quickly..."

Li Yanqing continued to stand on the sidelines directing the team, and he would directly call out whoever made a mistake.

In the end, his voice will be drowned out by the fans' shouts.

However, the full-back closest to Li Yanqing could always hear it.

They will find an opportunity to convey the head coach's instructions.

At that moment, in the stands, two men wearing hats were sitting in Burton's fan section.

"Oh!"

"God, do you know how long it's been since I've been back here?"

Sometimes I really miss it...

"Don't shout, Kevin, your God is on the court right now."

These two people were none other than Bale and Kevin, who were in Madrid just a few days ago.

After talking with Li Yanqing, Bell took a few days off and went directly to Burton with Kevin.

However, Bell was wrapped up rather tightly.

Sunglasses, trench coat, hood...

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a secret agent from somewhere.

This was truly unavoidable. Although he had no matches to play, taking leave during the league season to watch other teams play was still a serious violation of discipline.

It would be bad if it were caught on camera; Florentino would definitely be angry.

So much so that the famous Bale sat there unnoticed by any of the fans.

"You might not believe it."

"This is the first time I've ever met Ibrahimovic."

"Uh, I meant Ibrahimovic wearing a Burton jersey."

"Damn Lee, I suspect he and Felchar are in cahoots. How can someone have a job that prevents them from going home for several years in a row?"

Kevin became extremely angry when the topic came up.

Even as a punishment, this is far too severe!

"Scouting work?"

"No, as far as I know, scouts usually get two months of vacation every year."

"Haven't you had a single day?"

What Bale said is common sense. Scouting is hard work, but it's not like you can work all year round.

Some people simply give up their holidays for a paycheck.

"Wait, are you serious?"

"Damn it, Felchar! He never told me..."

"Oh, a goal!" Before Kevin could finish speaking, the stadium erupted in enthusiastic applause and shouts.

Dybala, the team's most relied-upon attacking player, scored again.

This time it was quite easy. His teammates pulled the defenders away from the outside, and he and David Luiz, who had made a run from behind, completed a one-two pass and easily put the ball in the net.

One to zero!

"The strength here doesn't seem to be what you described, Kevin!" Bell suddenly asked, a hint of doubt in his voice.

On the night he decided to come here, Kevin said, "Burton is just a mid-table Premier League team right now."

"Li Yanqing is a good coach. He improved the team's fighting power by a lot in a very short time."

"But there is still a big gap when facing truly strong teams."

“Hmm…” Kevin was a little unsure how to respond.

He has a fairly good understanding of the players, but his ability to observe the game is still only at the level of an amateur fan.

All we can do is know who performed well and who performed poorly, that's all.

So the description of the team is actually based on what Felchar taught him last year.

But Bale is different. Although he doesn't have a strong tactical awareness, he still has a basic ability to appreciate the game.

"Do you know how Burton's games made me feel?"

"Smooth, so incredibly smooth!"

"This applies to both offense and defense."

"This shows that everyone on the team has good tactical awareness."

Does Coach Li usually prioritize tactical training?

In his opinion, some Burton players are not particularly strong individually.

For example, Matthias and Sun Yan.

However, when working with others, they are able to avoid any major flaws.

These are the basic qualities of a strong team.

"Um, I don't know."

“But in any case, Lee has been at Burton for two years.”

Is it difficult to bring the team to where it is now?

“I always felt that I could do it too…” Kevin was completely unaware of what Bell cared about.

"To put it simply, scoring a goal is only an easy thing in a team like this."

"In my opinion, he did a better job than most coaches."

Despite praising the team, Bale shook his head.

As he said, this is just the basic quality of a strong team.

He was simply surprised that a young head coach could train the team so steadily.

But that's not what he's really concerned about...
