Chapter 335 Deulofeu

Bell doesn't fully believe in himself yet, which Li Yanqing can accept.

When he was at Real Madrid, countless people probably gave him all sorts of advice, but it was clear that he was afraid his form would decline further, so he didn't listen to any advice that was even slightly risky.

It's because many people have found their footing here in recent years that he became interested in the place.

Speaking of which, why was Kevin able to get close to Bell so easily?

It looks like the other party took the initiative now...

Regardless, the most important thing now is to help Deulofeu find his place in the team.

On the training ground.

Li Yanqing and Nawei were watching the players demonstrate some of their tricks.

"The technique is still very skillful, at least during training."

"He is very good at breaking through defenses, and he is fast enough."

"Is it because you lack confidence?"

After watching the players showcase their skills, Nave was clearly a little confused as to why he couldn't play like that back then.

Even if he doesn't achieve anything immediately, this kind of performance should give the club enough patience.

"I guess it's a matter of confidence."

"Moreover, it has been a long time since he was still at Barcelona."

"After such a long time, there will be some progress."

After a brief analysis, Li Yanqing concluded that the player was already twenty-five years old and had not yet mastered any master-level skills.

This means that a large portion of his talent has been wasted.

If it really came down to a game, he might not be as effective as Anderson.

The latter is someone who can secure a starting position in a top-tier league club.

"Bradford!"

"Why don't you come and accompany Delo?"

Li Yanqing clapped his hands and called his team captain over.

He is a perfect match for Deulofeu's current opponent.

"Uh, want to see my amazing skills?"

Deulofeu scratched his head, looking a little worried that he wouldn't be able to perform well.

"Yes, DeLore."

"Real combat is always the most suitable training; just treat him as an opponent."

"Also, you need to relax a bit; these are all your future teammates."

Looking at the players' reactions, Li Yanqing couldn't help but sigh.

It seems this kid has lost all confidence in himself, even worse than when Brinder came.

At least he wasn't so nervous that he was trembling.

"Leave it to me, come on, kid." Bradford is no longer the tough captain he used to be.

Since making the decision to retire, he has become increasingly talkative when he is not competing.

That's good, because when he becomes a coach, he can't still be a man of few words.

Next, it was time for the two of them to practice together.

Bradford was actually a little nervous after watching Deulofeu's training session.

He's probably the worst defensive guard on the team right now.

In his opinion, Deulofeu's dribbling skills were quite good, at least much better than Matthias and the others.

But when he actually started defending, he found that it wasn't like that at all.

Deulofeu's movements always seem rather awkward, but the ball's trajectory is surprisingly easy to predict.

They can snatch it every time.

On the other side, Neville quickly analyzed the reason.

"It's too fast."

"Actually, if he can maintain his speed while performing those dribbling moves well, his ability is quite good."

"But the problem is, he seems to lack confidence in himself, which causes his technique to become distorted..."

"You mean, he's too afraid of getting hurt?" Li Yanqing paused for a moment, then realized that this was the only explanation that made sense.

Yes, that's part of the reason.

"The other part seems to be simply fear."

"I just don't know what I'm afraid of..."

Navee nodded. In fact, injuries are common for professional players, especially for speed-type players.

"Forget about all that. I think it's enough to help him get his technique back on track and regain his confidence."

"You can watch more videos of Messi and Mbappe's games."

"These two are typical examples of people who are fast and can perfect their movements..."

"Wait, Messi?" Li Yanqing was taken aback when he heard the name.

"I think I know what he's afraid of."

"That's the problem!"

"He was a former Barcelona prodigy, a Barcelona prodigy, you know."

"It's inevitable that people will compare him to Messi."

"After being abandoned by Barcelona, ​​this feeling intensified even more!"

"Stop! Let's pause for a moment!"

Li Yanqing stopped Deulofeu and Bradford from their sparring session.

He needs to confirm his guess first.

That's all for today, thank you, Bradford.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do." Bradford nodded and immediately ran back to Lyman.

He is currently learning some basic tactical knowledge, and starting with the defense is obviously the most appropriate approach.

"Dinner's almost ready, it's on me today, Delo." Li Yanqing smiled and patted the player on the shoulder.

The training ground is not always a suitable place to talk.

"Okay...okay." Deulofeu lowered his head, knowing that his performance just now was disastrous.

If he plays in this condition, he probably won't be of any use.

......

"This is it."

"This is my favorite little bar."

"Many fan club members usually come here to drink."

While greeting the others, Li Yanqing introduced the tavern to Deulofeu.

Although it's a pub, they still have things like pasta and sausages.

“I don’t drink, coach.” Deulofeu pinched his nose, seemingly surprised that his head coach would bring him to such a place.

"You can do other things even if you don't drink alcohol."

"But I suggest you drink some; some of the varieties here are quite good."

This was actually the first time Li Yanqing had met a player who didn't drink alcohol. After all, in this kind of environment, even a pure kid like Quinn couldn't help but pick up the habit of drinking.

“Actually, I used to drink too, but I quit,” Deulofeu said with a wry smile.

There's clearly another story behind this.

But Li Yanqing wasn't in the mood to dig deeper today, and simply pushed the wine glasses and food that had just been served away.

"Can there be one exception when joining a new team?"

“Uh…” Deulofeu hesitated for a moment, then carefully picked up the glass.

"But I remember there's a team rule that prohibits drinking before training or match days, right?"

"Well, that's right."

"But as the head coach, I still have some privileges..."
