Chapter 263 Keep Expecting

Li Yanqing must admit that the veterans did a good job of helping the younger players as much as possible.

I did indeed somewhat overlook the feelings of the veterans.

However, he did not want to give up on Blinder, because everyone had already agreed on a final deadline.

So when answering Joe Hart, he didn't make a decision immediately.

"I'll think about it."

"Whatever the result, we will tell you before the next game starts."

"Alright, Hart, go and rest."

"I need to think about it."

He didn't expect that even after winning the game, the players still wouldn't let Blind off the hook.

It's easy to imagine just how bad his performance was.

This will be a very troublesome problem...

After seeing Joe Hart off, Li Yanqing looked toward the training field.

That place has been requisitioned by Rhine today, and he is training there with his youth team players.

Their match started earlier than the first team's, and I heard they achieved a great victory, crushing their opponents 6-1.

Or, how about we bring up a full-back from the youth academy as a backup?

In the evening, Quinn arrived at the head coach's office.

"Boss, Coach Rhein has recommended two players. Here are their profiles. He asked me to send them over."

"Thanks, Quinn." Li Yanqing patted the kid on the shoulder.

In fact, we have to thank him for winning the game. It was his goal that helped the team take all three points and defeat a member of the Big 6 in the first game.

"Also, you played well today."

“If Dybala is on the field in the future, you should still leave some space in front of the penalty area for him, just like you did today…”

“I will, boss.” Quinn nodded. Even if Li Yanqing hadn’t said anything, he would have done so.

"Also, I have another question."

"sit."

Li Yanqing kept Quinn behind. Although the kid usually didn't care much about other people's business, he still decided to ask him for his opinion on Brinder's performance.

In his plan, after Bradford retires, Hart will take over as captain, and then this kid will be next.

After all, he was a player I personally trained, and he didn't have any major personality issues.

The only drawback is that he currently lacks a bit of leadership qualities.

Therefore, we must start cultivating them now.

“Hart said he wants me to take Blind’s starting position.”

"What do you think?"

"Me?" Quinn was clearly taken aback.

When did he become qualified to decide who plays?

"You're the head coach, boss."

"I don't have any particular thoughts on this."

"All I know is that if you decide to use him, I will do everything in my power to protect him."

"To be honest, it was because of this idea that I desperately looked for opportunities to shoot."

"I bet if he doesn't win this match, he'll be in big trouble..."

What a fine young man!

Li Yanqing felt that all the time he had spent training him had not been in vain.

He absolutely couldn't find another core player who so firmly supports the head coach's choices and who doesn't complain even when occasionally placed on the bench.

“You’re absolutely right, Quinn.”

"I know what to do!"

"Do you need to go home for dinner? I'll treat you..."

The next day, Li Yanqing announced the starting lineup for the next game in front of everyone on the training field.

Blind was prominently listed.

He himself could hardly believe the result.

Although he had been promised that his starting position would remain until the end of the transfer window, he did not expect that the head coach would actually put pressure on him to secure his place.

"This is the final decision, and it will not be changed."

“Daly, you should know that some people have advised me to replace you.”

"Actually, this is the right suggestion. Letting David play will give us a better chance of winning the game."

"However, I still choose to keep my promise."

"You are still a key player."

Whether you can prove it to them is your business.

"Time is running out."

"As for if he really caused the loss during this period, you can put all the blame on me."

"However, I must say that I still believe in Daly's talent..."

Since Li Yanqing had spoken, the others didn't say anything more.

Even the furious Joe Hart chose to remain silent.

They know their head coach well; if they say they'll replace someone, they really will.

Conversely, once a decision is made about who to use, complete trust will be placed in them.

In a sense, this is a good thing, because apart from Karius, who has played relatively few games, the others have played quite a few.

This shows that the head coach trusts everyone here.

"Alright, let's go train."

"The next three matches don't have any particularly strong opponents, so we need to try and take all the points..."

The "opponents" Li Yanqing was referring to were of course the Big Six, with Everton also worth noting.

As for the other teams, Burton has nothing to fear.

With their performance constantly improving and their investment continuously increasing, their growth rate of strength is frightening.

After Li Yanqing finished his reprimand, Blind managed to squeeze out a sound.

“li......”

However, not many people heard him, because he stopped very quickly.

He himself didn't know when it started, but he developed a sense of arrogance.

He doesn't really listen to anyone except those who have absolute power and status.

That's why he was so quick to reject Burton's invitation at first.

But he gradually discovered that his abilities were declining rapidly.

It has come to the point where we have no choice but to back down.

So I came to Burton, hoping to prove myself again.

It has recovered a little, but not much.

He's still a substitute.

Now that he has finally made it into the starting lineup, he is being disliked by everyone.

Justin's defense was terrible before...

Now, this is his last chance.

No, Blinder should actually feel lucky.

Because he still has a chance.

“Navie... Coach.”

"Could you please arrange the training you mentioned before for me again?"

"I think that's quite useful..."

Neville was somewhat surprised when Blind called him back.

Because he never calls himself his coach.

Is this time he really going to try?

"Uh, of course, it's what I should do."

"Come on, let's go to that corner..."

Shortly after, in the office area.

Li Yanqing and Lyman were watching Blind's training through the window.

"It might be of some use."

"But I don't understand, why do you support him in this?"

"Just because you said you wanted to use him?"

"But this is gambling with everyone's efforts..."

Lehmann has improved a lot since the training camp.

At least for now, he can lead the team to play some matches occasionally without any problem.

But if it were him, he would definitely replace Blind immediately; the team has plenty of options.

"If you're going to ask that..."

"Because his condition has actually never been bad."

"Although the performance was very poor."

"But his potential is very high, and I still have high expectations for him..."
