Chapter 250 Doubling Efficiency

The gap in hard power is not so easy to bridge.

So they still lost.

After exhausting their energy, they conceded four goals to the players from Group A.

However, contrary to expectations, the morale of the B team members was greatly boosted.

Turns out they can actually hold their own against the starters!

If that one-on-one chance hadn't gone so terribly off target, we might have even taken the lead around the 60-minute mark!

Before Lehmann could even react, he was already being bombarded with questions by several players.

"Coach! What tactics should we use in the next game?"

"What should I do next? I feel like I can practice even more; I'm maintaining a great level of performance!"

"If we play a few more games, I even think we can win!"

"Coach, you're amazing!"

A group of players who were only at a "normal" or "good" level during the game all reached an "excellent" level after the game.

Although it had nothing to do with him, Lyman still found it very helpful.

This is what it feels like to lead a team to victory!

"We'll discuss the tactics for the next game later."

"Let's have someone help you relax first."

"I'll tell you the answer during tomorrow's training session..."

After the team members dispersed, he gradually calmed down and sat down next to Li Yanqing.

"Thank you, Li."

"You seem to have taught me a very important lesson."

"I guess I'll have to figure out the tactics for the next game myself, right?"

"Hmm? No, I'm just trying out new training methods." Li Yanqing shook his head; he was simply trying to motivate everyone in his own way.

As for teaching Lyman, that was purely incidental.

"But you're right."

"I won't be involved in tactics for the next game."

"As before, Nave and I will organize all the player information."

"They will tell you what they are good at and what they are suited to do."

"What you need to do is choose the right tactics for them."

"Instead of relying on tactics that one thinks are superior..."

For the next two weeks, Li Yanqing threw himself into training.

He and Nave guided the players in skills training, systematically changing the training methods they used in the first team, and the results were quite good.

Skills like interception, marking, and dribbling past opponents can be quickly developed as long as the player has the necessary physical attributes.

It used to take six months, but now, judging from the players' level, it will only take three months at most.

Efficiency has nearly doubled.

Of course, this is a prediction and has not yet been confirmed in practice.

Even the predicted results far exceeded Li Yanqing's expectations.

On the other hand, Lehmann showed greater improvement than the other players.

His tactical skills were not the problem; Li Yanqing simply helped him resolve his cognitive misconceptions.

That means no matter what, the head coach can only adapt to the situation.

You can't make a roast duck when the main ingredient is chicken.

Even so, aside from the first two matches, he hasn't won any of the seven matches played in the past two weeks.

Four draws and three losses, plus the previous draws, making it five draws and four losses.

According to the rules, the young players in Group B have already lost.

Compared to Lehmann, Rhine was clearly the one better at mentoring young players, knowing which tactics suited them best.

After all, he had been working in Burton's youth academy for almost ten years.

But no one was discouraged by this.

Because the players' overall strength has greatly improved, their qualities in all aspects are quite different from what they were half a month ago.

If we continue with another month of training and matches from now on, the outcome will be hard to predict.

Training Course.

"Li, tomorrow is your last game."

"Then the training camp ended."

"The result should be pretty good, right? The players have improved significantly."

Actually, Neville is the biggest contributor.

He has always been in charge of the training, and Li Yanqing has only been assisting him.

"Of course, I am very satisfied with the result."

"It would be even better if we could win one game."

"Those guys are all holding their breath, hoping to beat Group A and get their revenge."

“There’s still one more chance…” Neville was about to give Lyman some instructions when he realized that the latter was not at the training ground at all.

Where is Mr. Lyman?

"Tomorrow is the last game, doesn't he plan to come and arrange the lineup?"

"There are still a few positions worth considering..."

"Jens? He's probably hiding somewhere right now, thinking up tactics and shaking with nervousness."

Li Yanqing smiled slightly. Although he hadn't worked with Lyman for very long, he had a considerable understanding of him.

At least when it comes to coaching, he's an extremely reserved guy.

They want the players to win again, but they don't dare say it outright.

But the reality is...

Lehmann was hiding in his office, practicing tomorrow's game on the tactics board.

He and Rhine faced off nine times in a short period of time.

Strictly speaking, it was seven times. By the last two matches, the difference in strength was actually not that great.

He lost because of his lack of coaching experience.

They were always defeated by Rhine with simpler and more direct tactics.

No matter how much he deduced, he still couldn't find a good solution.

"Damn it, quickly think about how Professor Li and the others usually do things!"

Where did you get all those effective little tricks?

Only now has he truly come to admire Li Yanqing from the bottom of his heart.

It only took two years to bring a relegation-threatened team from the second division to its current level of success...

Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head.

"A little trick?"

"A simple and straightforward trick!"

"I've got it! I've got it..."

Half an hour later, Lyman appeared on the training field looking radiant.

"Take a break from training, lads."

"Let's confirm who will be playing tomorrow."

"Also, there are a few people I need to speak to you about separately..."

"Hey, he seems to have found a way!" Neville looked at Lyman with a sly grin, still thinking about how Li Yanqing had described him.

"Yes, wait, he's coming!"

Li Yanqing and Nawei's mission was actually over, so they were now sitting on the side chatting, looking quite relaxed.

"Lee! And Neville too!"

"You'll be coming to watch the game tomorrow, right?"

"You absolutely have to come!"

"I'll show you how I won this victory..."
