Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 66 Extremely jealous

On January 12, a transfer announcement thrilled Burton Albion fans.

The club announced that striker Marco Matias, formerly of Sheffield Wednesday, has joined the team on a free transfer, signing a three-year contract and will wear the number 21 jersey for Burton Albion.

This is a well-established Championship player who consistently contributes at least ten goals and assists every season, regardless of which team he plays for.

Many Premier League clubs have considered signing him as a substitute for their teams.

Such a player joined the team for free!

Chris kept patting Matthias on the shoulder, grinning from ear to ear.

"My God, I can hardly believe I'm dreaming!"

Compared to established players like Nasri and Joe Hart, he is clearly more familiar with Matias.

The latter may not be a big name, but he is definitely a strong player in his prime.

As seen in previous matches, Xie Zhou, whose team played in complete disarray, was the only one whose post-match rating was above six.

As for the first two, to be honest, they are both disillusioned players who have found it difficult to get opportunities in top leagues.

Hart might be okay, but Nasri was completely sold off by Manchester City for a fire sale price.

When Chris first signed Nasri, he had doubts about Nasri's current level.

After all, most talented players, after their rapid decline, will only perform worse than average players.

Signing them felt completely different.

"Also, how is Kevin?"

"You weren't so angry you had a breakdown, were you?"

Chris didn't forget to ask about his old friend, with whom he had had his share of conflicts during his time as Burton's interim head coach.

"It's unlikely to get better. Matthias's value is around six to eight million pounds."

"That's equivalent to him directly causing the club to lose this much money!"

Li Yanqing believes that if Kevin can still not be fired after this, then Xie Zhou's boss must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Robinson's previous protection of Kevin had made him very unhappy, but now he felt better.

"Never mind him, his business is over."

"With Matias' arrival, we now have five strikers!"

"At least we'll have enough players for rotation in the upcoming matches."

"As for that ten million, I'm considering signing a defensive midfielder or left-back, someone who can carry the ball forward."

Are there any good candidates?

Li Yanqing didn't forget the important matter. He finally had the transfer fee, and he felt restless if he didn't spend it.

As a ball-carrying defensive midfielder and left-back, his first thought was Bayern Munich players Kimmich and Alaba.

He can't sign these two players, but he can use them as a reference to find players with similar styles.

"Not at the moment, should we ask Felchar?"

Chris shook his head. He was the busiest person in the entire club right now and didn't have time to pay attention to other players.

“Okay, but Phil only answers my calls at night now.”

"He has it tough too; the working conditions for scouts aren't much better than those for spies..."

Two days later, in the 24th round of the Championship, Burton Albion will host Huddersfield Town.

The animosity between the two sides needs no further explanation; the players were already indignant even before they arrived at the stadium.

Will didn't bring Blanche to the game, and was even spotted by staff carrying a baseball bat when he entered.

He seemed very dissatisfied with the decision to temporarily confiscate his weapons.

"This is our home ground!"

"Can't we show those bastards what we're capable of?"

"Last time I stayed at Strange's place for a whole week!"

"Do you know how bad I felt? I couldn't drink beer for a whole week!"

In the end, it was Li Yanqing who personally went over to stop his foolish actions.

The opposing team's fans also came in large numbers, and for the first time, Riverside Stadium was almost unable to handle such a large number of fans.

"Chris!"

"Have Robinson hire another team from the security company!"

The fan clashes after the last match left a deep impression on Li Yanqing. This was his home ground, and he absolutely could not allow any negative news about fan brawls to occur here.

To his surprise, as the opposing players were passing through the player tunnel, Will somehow found a bunch of rotten vegetable leaves and dumped them in one spot.

"Damn it, Pamo!"

"You are not welcome here!"

"Get out of Riverside Stadium if you don't want your leg to break completely!"

Led by this fan club leader, the fans were already unable to contain their anger even before the match started.

In the last fight, Palmer not only verbally offended Quinn, but also physically assaulted him.

The result was that he was only suspended for five games?

Huddersfield fans were also furious, as they had been thrashed 7-0 in their last match, which was their only crushing defeat of the entire season.

It's not that they'd be locked in a fierce battle right now, but Li Yanqing can't guarantee that after the match ends.

As for Palmo himself, he seems to have toned it down considerably.

After being pelted with rotten vegetable leaves, he only gave Will a fierce glare.

“I’m a little worried, Li.”

"Are two teams not enough?"

"How about we hire another team...?"

Chris swallowed hard; the match hadn't even started yet, but he could already smell the tension.

"Good idea." Li Yanqing nodded; the situation on the scene was clearly beyond everyone's expectations.

"But speaking of which, that bastard Pamo has actually learned to shut his stinking mouth."

"It's really not easy. I thought he was just naturally annoying."

“It’s not that simple,” Chris shook his head and said.

"You haven't worked with him for long, but I guarantee that he'll go crazy the moment he leaves the players' tunnel."

"Look, he's up there now, in three seconds at most..."

"Will the beer connoisseur!" Chris's countdown had barely begun when Palmer yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Don't fucking let me see you outside the stadium!"

"Don't even think about having a single healthy bone in your body, let alone your legs!"

“Well, he really hasn’t made any progress.” Li Yanqing shrugged.

"They've even become increasingly sleazy."

"He used to dare to mock me to my face, but now he's learned to hold back and wait until Will can't get to him before he starts talking back."

"Seriously, can't Huddersfield buy a midfielder?"

"They really listened to Raiola and insisted on using Pamo..."

"Wait a minute," Chris said, sounding a little confused.

"How do you know this was Raiola's suggestion?"
