Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 179 is entirely empty.

Li Yichuan still failed to make it to the first team.

However, Li Yanqing believes that he can accept being pulled into the front-line team to put out fires in an emergency.

At least this time their strength has really improved a lot.

I wonder if the player himself will be upset about this...

After all, his good brother Sun Yan had become a key player more than a year ago.

Moreover, it was never abandoned despite being repeatedly destroyed.

Despite his efforts, he still failed to make it into the first team, not even as a substitute.

Who made the club get promoted to the Premier League...?

On the 21st, Burton will host Manchester City.

The opposing team is currently the top team in the standings, with second-placed Liverpool holding a commanding lead over all other teams.

Last time, they almost snatched a last-minute victory from Manchester City, giving everyone a real scare.

This time, Guardiola also put in his best effort and fielded his full-strength lineup.

And they didn't forget to bring on Otamendi to mark Ibrahimovic.

On either side were Mahrez and Sterling, both excellent wingers, exuding an aura of intent to break through Burton's defense.

What's most remarkable is that they were all in excellent condition.

Tough to deal with...

Li Yanqing didn't dare to park the bus.

They couldn't even stop Everton last time, so it's even less likely they can stop Manchester City.

The opposing team is probably the best at breaking down a tight defense in the world right now; even Barcelona isn't very good at it.

Just go it out; Nasri has already retired, so we don't necessarily have to win this match.

As it turns out, when he has this mentality, the team often loses decisively.

They conceded a goal less than ten minutes into the game.

Otamendi, who is at his peak, is able to hold off Ibrahimovic. He is very strong and not fast, but he is well-suited to defend against strikers like Ibrahimovic.

Anderson and Sun Yan on the right flank delivered an exceptional performance, holding off Sterling and Walker without giving the opponent any openings.

The problem lies on the left flank.

The negative impact of Miller's departure is showing: no one is defending this side.

Matthias and Justin were driven to despair, experiencing the same feeling Sun Yan went through last season.

Enzo and Baselli defended with all their might, but they had no space to cover.

Once a position is lost in the middle, the opponent can immediately take advantage of the situation, which is the most terrifying thing about Manchester City.

So, near the end of the first half, they conceded another goal.

Zero to two!

Halftime, in the locker room.

Bradford was yelling at his teammates.

"Why are you still charging forward when we're clearly at a disadvantage?"

"Especially you, Justin!"

"His performance in this match was comparable to that of an undercover agent sent by the opposing team!"

"What kind of dribbling skills are you using in your own backcourt?"

"There's no better position to pass to..." Justin was a little unconvinced. If his teammates hadn't failed to provide timely support, he wouldn't have been forced to try and get past them.

"Then let's get the ball to the other side!"

"Don't let the goal be in danger!"

It's rare for Bradford to get so angry, because it's a fact that the team wasn't very strong before.

But he doesn't think the team is weak now, after all, they are in the top half of the Premier League standings!

However, to his dismay, his teammates didn't seem to approve of him as captain.

There's nothing I can do; I'm just not good enough, and I'm easily beaten one-on-one by my opponent.

"Shut up, Justin!"

"He's the captain. If you have any objections, you can complain to the boss after the game, but for now, you have to listen to him!"

"Those who can't wait can give it their all on the field!"

Ibrahimovic wouldn't allow anyone to cause trouble in the locker room. He felt that if he didn't say something, Anderson and the others would all come out and criticize Bradford soon.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely awkward!

Fortunately, Ibrahimovic's presence was enough to intimidate Justin, who had been somewhat resentful, immediately quieted down as soon as he spoke.

But to his surprise, Bradford also fell silent.

The team's veteran captain seemed to have suffered a considerable setback.

Even a newcomer who had only been with the team for six months dared to disagree with him, and in the end, he had to rely on others to solve the problem.

"It's alright, Captain."

"Justin was really upset after that beating; he's been holding it in for a long time."

Murphy came over and comforted him; Bradford was still very prestigious to them.

"This is not a big deal."

"Let's see how the boss arranges things later..."

However, they waited for several minutes but Li Yanqing did not appear.

The person who arrived was assistant coach Lyman.

"I'm here to pass on a message: just continue playing like this in the second half."

"As for the final outcome, he can accept it."

"Anyway, their strength is still far superior to yours..."

"Screw that huge chunk!" Justin said, expressing his inability to accept the coach's sarcasm.

"If they continue playing like this in the second half, I'll have to break through the defense myself!"

"Defense can also lead to conceding goals!"

"Do whatever you want," Lee said. "On the field, all you need to do is get Bradford's approval." Lyman shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

"The only requirement is that we cannot accept losing too much..."

At that moment, Li Yanqing and Nawei were looking at a record.

Are you sure his dribbling skills are pretty good right now?

"It's best not to talk nonsense. I've already arranged for Bradford and Lyman to provoke him."

"If you don't achieve the desired results, at least half of your bonus will be deducted!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing "deduct bonus," Neville's face immediately turned ugly.

"No way, I'm just analyzing it from a training perspective. If it's his own mental imbalance, then..."

"Wouldn't I just become the sucker...?"

"No problem, your childhood friend has plenty of money."

"You can go to him and ask him to invest more, so the club can pay out bonuses!"

"this......"

The game resumed quickly.

After the locker room farce, Justin's gaze towards the opposing players changed.

It was as if I were looking at the training equipment used during extra practice sessions.

Often, before Matthias in front of him could even react, he would rush forward.

"Hey!"

That's my spot!

Matthias was a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only shake his head and move into his place.

"Give me the ball!"

"here!"

"All gaps!"

Quinn in the middle received the signal and passed the ball directly to the far post on the left.

But when he looked up, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Where did the gap come from?

This kid has at least three people with him!
