Chapter 83 We won
Chapter 83 We won
The good news is that Miller's entry hasn't changed yet; he's still a blank entry.
This put Li Yanqing at ease.
The pace of the game seems to have returned to normal.
When he first arrived at Burton, he never imagined that one day his own midfield would become the only place where he could gain an advantage.
"Quinn!"
"Shoot if you get the chance!"
Li Yanqing encouraged Quinn to shoot more; the opposing defenders were very strong, and after focusing on defense, they couldn't find many opportunities.
Currently, only his "Piercing Arrow" poses a threat to West Ham United's goal.
He hoped to score another goal and then end the game within ninety minutes.
If the game goes to overtime, their advantage in the middle will disappear once they substitute Nasri.
But Quinn's condition is a bit off; it's now in a "bad" state.
This shy young man was previously accused of using dirty tricks against Lancini, and he's probably still feeling guilty about the other's injury.
It seems my words of comfort had no effect.
Fortunately, with Enzo's help defense, Payet, whose stamina was declining, was also contained and was no longer as unstoppable as he was in the first half.
The situation became tense for a moment.
In the 80th minute, Enzo received the ball.
He should have passed the ball to Nasri or Quinn, but after assessing the situation, he launched a long ball directly from his own half.
Quinn, who was about to rush over to receive the ball, looked a little bewildered, but Enzo didn't explain. Instead, he shouted ahead.
"Back post!"
He delivered a long ball over the top, attempting to bypass the opposing defender directly!
Jami, who came on as a substitute in the second half, quickly started his run, successfully received the ball, and then cut inside into the penalty area!
Enzo still didn't listen to Li Yanqing and focused on defense.
But it must be said that...
"Beautiful! That was fucking beautiful!"
Li Yanqing looked at Jami, who had already broken through on goal, and thought that this ball had a good chance of turning the score around!
Jami did not disappoint him. He dribbled the ball to a point not far from the opposing goalkeeper, Ogbonna, and then passed the ball across to Nasri, who had arrived just in time.
The latter succeeded in one fell swoop!
“goooooooooal!”
"I can't believe it!"
"Burton has taken the lead!"
"Can they hold on until the end of the game?"
The on-site commentator shouted so loudly that his voice almost cracked.
Who would have thought that Burton could take the lead against West Ham, who fielded almost their full-strength squad?
In the stands, Will's beer is always present during these crucial moments.
"Well done, Jamie!"
"Well done, Nasri!"
"And Enzo!"
"We'll win in ten minutes!"
"This is their property! You bastard Will! I've told you so many times!"
......
Burton didn't falter in the final moments.
Despite West Ham United having more than three effective shots in ten minutes, they still lost.
It's worth mentioning that Bradford blocked one of the shots with his face.
It doesn't matter, because the game is over!
Burton won!
They beat a Premier League team!
An excited Li Yanqing ran up to celebrate with his players, while the opposing coach, Moyes, showed no intention of shaking hands.
At the post-match press conference, the head coach strongly criticized Burton's behavior.
"We will temporarily lose an excellent player!"
"I don't know what that kid did to him, but normal contact wouldn't cause a player to get injured like this."
"Lanzini's injury is serious and he may miss this year's World Cup..."
Li Yanqing doesn't like to say much at press conferences, and this time was no exception; he only said a few words.
"My players are all lovely and wouldn't do these things."
"If you don't believe me, go find the replay of the match."
"If it really is his responsibility, then I have no objection to whatever punishment the FA gives us."
He wasn't worried about Quinn.
This kid hasn't even finished learning the normal moves, so no one will teach him any dirty tricks.
Williamson and Nasri are not experts in this either.
His team doesn't have Diego Costa or Suarez...
"Well done, guys."
"Because of your outstanding performance, I have decided to give you a day off!"
With the next match in a week, Li Yanqing didn't mind letting his players get some rest.
However, after the group disbanded, he kept Quinn, Miller, and Sun Yan behind.
This match had the biggest impact on their mentality, and they need to adjust.
Quinn felt guilty because he was directly responsible for Lancini's injury. This was the first time he had unintentionally injured his opponent.
But Li Yanqing knew that this was not his problem.
They're still too young. If it were Jamie, Matthias, or Bradford, they wouldn't have any psychological burden at all.
Let Chris talk to him and give him some advice.
As for Sun Yan and Miller, they were so badly beaten by Payet that they could barely walk, let alone play football.
But Sun Yan didn't stay long, because Cheng Mengmeng took him back directly.
His cousin, whose personality and appearance are completely at odds, could definitely cure his psychological trauma.
So soon only Miller and Li Yanqing were left.
In reality, Miller is just a blank slate player; he can't be developed through training, and sooner or later someone will replace him as the starting player.
But as long as he is still one of his players, Li Yanqing will not abandon him.
At this moment, the player himself was sitting on the ground, dejected, and somewhat unable to meet his gaze.
"Boss... I'm sorry."
“I performed terribly.”
"Why should I apologize?" Li Yanqing patted him and said with a smile.
"We won, didn't we? That's great."
"I know you've already tried your best."
"My talent is terrible, maybe I'm just not cut out to play football..." It seems that Miller is starting to show signs of "football phobia".
As a winger, his attacking ability has always been criticized.
Previously, at least they could boast that they defended very well and didn't concede many goals.
But now they're getting completely thrashed in this area.
"Take those words back!" Li Yanqing interrupted him sternly.
"Don't even mention you, even if Enzo and Baselli had both been on the defensive against Payet in the first half, they might not have been able to stop him."
"None of that matters, Miller."
"I didn't call you here because I wanted to criticize you."
"But I want to tell you that we won!"
"It's us! All of us!"
"Football is a team sport, and you have completed your task!"
"We will still need you in the days to come!"
“You’re only twenty-two. You have a longer future than Jami and Matthias.”
So, cheer up!
Hearing this, Miller did feel much better.
He looked at Li Yanqing with some confusion.
"Boss, you're not lying to me?"
"Will the team really need me next?"
"If they get promoted to the Premier League, will they too?"
“Of course!” Li Yanqing nodded firmly.
"I assure you, even if we get promoted to the Premier League, I will still give you a chance."
"As for a starting position, you'll have to earn it yourself..."
He made empty promises to the players.
There's no way he could tell a frustrated player, "No, you won't have a chance next season because you're really bad..."
