Chapter 67 Cripple Him!

Both teams' players have entered the field.

Matthias, who had just joined Burton Albion, was placed on the bench by Li Yanqing.

It's not because he's not good enough, but because we plan to save him for the second half of the game.

Jami and Nasri were enough for the first half.

As for Chris's question, Li Yanqing did not answer it, but instead decisively changed the subject.

"Keep an eye on Will near the end of the match and have him sit with Rhine early."

Then he stood on the sidelines, staring intently at the opponent's goal.

Speaking of which, Huddersfield Town has been particularly noteworthy this season.

They brought in several more players during the winter transfer window, bringing their total investment for the season to over £80 million.

Who would believe that this is the amount a Championship club spends on player acquisitions?

Their first team now has as many as 32 players, and Pamo is a rare familiar face.

Choudhury, who partnered with Palmerston in midfield in the last match, has completely lost his place and was recently sold to League Two.

There's absolutely no future in it.

Li Yanqing didn't envy them; on the contrary, he thought they were easy to deal with.

The entire team's framework has been dismantled, and the opposing coach isn't a renowned coach, so he can't put the team back together in a short time.

They're only good at bullying weak teams.

When you encounter something truly difficult to deal with, problems are bound to arise.

The game officially begins.

The opponent kicked off, and Pamo immediately unleashed a powerful kick.

The ball flew with tremendous force toward Quinn's head.

Fortunately, the latter reacted quickly, ducking to avoid the ball; had it hit him, he would most likely have been injured.

"This bastard... is he really here to compete?"

"Referee, I want to file a complaint against him!"

Li Yanqing immediately launched into a tirade against the referee.

The referee, seemingly prepared, instructed Li Yanqing to return to his position and then gave Pamo a stern warning.

However, the latter seemed indifferent and whispered to Quinn after the referee left.

"Kid, we haven't settled the score from last time."

"You'll have to take the blame for that Will kid's offense against me too!"

Don't worry, I'll kill you!

Quinn responded through gritted teeth, "Go ahead and try it on the field again, you sly fox!"

"I'm not afraid of you, you pig!"

"Let's wait and see!"

This scene caught Li Yanqing's eye, causing his gaze to darken.

Will had provoked the other party, so he tolerated Palmer's harsh response.

But he couldn't accept that the other party dared to provoke Quinn no matter what.

"Matthias!"

"Come watch the game from the sidelines, I have a task for you!"

......

The game continues.

Palmo hasn't done anything out of line for the time being, and his head coach has already warned him.

If he gets sent off again in this game, we'll have to push him down to the youth team, even if it puts pressure on us.

The former's reaction was strange, but at least it toned down a bit.

Under the referee's strict rulings, the game finally regained its normal rhythm.

Huddersfield adopted a defensive approach, and against Burton, especially at their home ground, they dared not attack.

They simply left Menez on the field as their only means of counter-attack.

As for Burton, they naturally focused their attacks around their goal.

Li Yanqing is no longer as afraid of his opponent's counter-attacks, so he is more aggressive in his attacks.

They have now accumulated a lot of experience in breaking through dense defenses.

"Quinn! Don't shoot!"

"Find an opportunity to slip it to Murphy!"

Quinn has already unleashed three powerful shots in the penalty area within a dozen minutes.

Twice they were aiming for Pamo's head.

However, it wasn't as obvious as the latter, so I wasn't warned.

But this made Li Yanqing a little dissatisfied. He didn't want Quinn to play with his emotions on his mind. Midfielders had to learn to stay calm.

"Quinn!"

"Give me the ball! I'll show you!"

"We need to move forward and find our teammates!"

Nasri was also asking Quinn for the ball; he had been teaching Quinn how to become a proper attacking midfielder during this time.

But he can't help much with mindset, as he himself isn't a very stable person.

Quinn, though obediently refraining from violent shots, was still glaring menacingly at Palmer.

"Young people get carried away with their emotions..."

Li Yanqing covered his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless. He didn't want to replace Quinn right now.

He's been provoked this time, and there's also the grudge from the punch he received last time; he'll have to get revenge himself.

The best revenge is never to fight back, but to break through the opponent's goal!

They broke through the opponent's goal many times!

But judging from the current situation, there's not much of a chance in the first half.

The good news is that Palmo wasn't exactly calm either.

He also experienced the feeling of having someone watching his head and being constantly on edge.

Unfortunately, as soon as the ball fell into the backfield, it was kicked back to the midfield line by the defender, leaving no chance for a counterattack.

Therefore, he could only focus all his energy on defense, and he played very fiercely.

When he truly demonstrates his abilities, his impact is significant.

They defended the area outside the penalty area very well, making Burton's players play somewhat hesitantly.

This made the entire match exceptionally dull.

They defended fiercely while launching attacks, but the ball just couldn't get into the opponent's penalty area.

Li Yanqing had to admit that Huddersfield's defense was excellent.

Their defense is solid, and the new signings have all performed well.

This resulted in Burton not having many decent shots on goal.

The best chance came from Nasri's long-range shot; the ball's trajectory had fooled the goalkeeper, but it was blocked by the opposing defender.

"You saw that number eight player on the other team?"

At the start of the second half, Li Yanqing began giving instructions to Matthias.

"Of course." The latter nodded; that kid had been the one who played the most aggressively throughout the entire match.

"In the second half, I will drop back to a more defensive formation to give you enough space."

"After we get the ball in the backfield, we'll give it all to you."

"Your task is simple: go up and get past him!"

"Then pass the ball to Murphy, Jamie, or O'Grady, whichever you prefer."

"If he dares to do anything dangerous, you know, there's no need to hold back."

"Just cripple him!"

"Understood, boss. I'll go up and cripple him, or cripple him completely!" Matthias nodded excitedly.

As a physically strong and explosive winger, he actually has a lot of experience in this area.

Otherwise, how could he be given the title of "fierce general"?

Li Yanqing looked at him and suddenly became speechless.

Did he mean it?
