Chapter 65 Xie Zhou's Manager

The day after the match, Burton made a tentative offer to Sheffield Wednesday's Matias.

Li Yanqing asked Cheng Mengmeng to look up the striker's previous match videos and found that he was quite to his liking.

He excels at breaking through defenses, and while he's slightly slower than Murphy, he has better physical attributes.

Moreover, in terms of position, he can play on both flanks.

He can rotate with Jamie and Miller.

When Miller was mentioned, Li Yanqing was already somewhat dissatisfied with his performance.

This 22-year-old winger, who had no dribbling skills, partnered with Sun Yan on the right flank, and Burton's attack on the right side was almost completely paralyzed.

A winger who excels at defense is simply wasting his position.

Do I still need to shield the ball and circle around a few times in the attacking third?

This made him like Matthias more and more.

With more than seven forwards in Sheffield Wednesday's squad, Li Yanqing felt there shouldn't be any obstacles.

Surprisingly, the former reacted unusually strongly to this.

"They said it was impossible for them to sell Matias to us; he's their main striker."

"Unless we offer more than £20 million."

Chris looked annoyed; this price was no longer just exorbitant.

"How about we change our target?"

"Even if they made an offer, they weren't sincere at all. The manager messaged me directly, telling me to get as far away as possible and not to bother with their players."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanqing stood there dumbfounded.

A transfer between Championship clubs for £20 million?

That's not how you make a joke.

It even escalated to verbal attacks.

He was just buying a player, but the other player's reaction made him feel like he was being cheated on.

Chris looked at the bewildered Li Yanqing and explained.

Do you remember Kevin?

"That's right, he's the opposing team's manager now."

“It’s perfectly normal for them to scold you.”

“Dias Kevin!” Li Yanqing certainly remembered this person.

He was the team manager when he first arrived at Burton, and things later turned very ugly between them.

No wonder the other party reacted so strangely.

However, he remembered that the other person should have been sent back to the brewery by Robinson, so how did he end up working for Sheffield Wednesday?

“Yes, he went to the brewery before, but didn’t stay there for long,”

“You know, working there is much harder than working at the club.”

"That guy got used to the good life and couldn't stand it. He left a long time ago."

"Robinson was quite angry at the time."

"Coincidentally, Sheffield Wednesday's manager resigned, so Kevin became the manager there."

"Interestingly, he's temporary now, just like when you first came to Burton."

"Oh, I see... then I don't feel any pressure anymore." Li Yanqing grinned, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile.

"Since we're all old friends, it's good to give each other a special gift to congratulate them on taking office."

"Could you help me find Matthias's contact information?"

“I understand.” Chris laughed along with him.

He knew that whenever the former showed this expression, it meant that the other party had some bad intentions.

......

In the third round of the FA Cup, Burton Albion defeated Sheffield United 3-0 away from home.

Both teams are in the Championship, so they know each other very well.

It's worth mentioning that they are also one of the clubs that received substantial sponsorships, and they brought in many talented players this season.

Their league ranking has improved significantly; last season they were at the bottom of the standings, but now they are ranked tenth.

However, they clearly lacked the desire to win this match, fielding many young players, which essentially meant they gave up on the FA Cup.

Li Yanqing also won the easy mode match with a smile.

He doesn't care what the other person is thinking, as long as he can win.

In the next round of the FA Cup, they will face West Ham United.

This will be Burton Albion's first time facing a fully-staffed Premier League team!

If they win, they will face the winner between Arsenal and Bournemouth.

That would be a chance to share the stage with Wenger!

Of course, West Ham United, as a mid-table Premier League team, is also very strong, and Burton Albion has a very small chance of defeating them.

Let's not think that far ahead.

"Li, it's been almost a week, haven't you contacted Matthias yet?"

"He doesn't seem to be making any moves."

Chris is more concerned about transfers than the FA Cup.

Premier League clubs are still too difficult for them to beat; their priority should be figuring out how to get promoted this season.

If Matias can join, that would obviously be good news.

"I've already contacted him."

"Don't worry, the other party still has some feelings for Xie Zhousan."

“Although we are very interested in joining us, he said there was something he wanted to confirm.”

At this point, Li Yanqing gave a mysterious smile.

"Also, I learned something funny..."

Meanwhile, inside Sheffield Wednesday Club.

"What? You want to transfer to Burton?"

"Who told you this news!"

"I clearly told them to shut up!"

Kevin looked at Matthias in front of him and roared in exasperation, but he quickly realized the problem.

"Did that Chinese man contact you privately?"

"I'm going to file a complaint against him!"

“This is none of his business.” Matthias’s expression was also not good, and he glared at Kevin fiercely.

"I had the opportunity to transfer to the Premier League before, but you didn't tell me anything?"

"This is a club, not a scam center, you bastard."

"After learning about Burton's offer, I waited another week, and you didn't tell me anything except to trick me into signing a new contract."

You won't get a third chance!

“They don’t really want you.” Kevin’s tough stance softened.

"Your offer is only five million pounds!"

"What's the difference between this and robbing someone?"

"Marco, your worth is definitely more than that..."

"So how much do you want? Twenty million?" Matthias looked at him disdainfully and then said.

"I'm already 27 years old, I can't continue to languish in the Championship!"

"Burton is a very strong team, and I think they have a good chance of getting promoted."

"Besides, it seems you've forgotten what I wrote in the contract?"

“Your contract…” Kevin suddenly realized something was wrong.

He could understand the other party getting angry, but he hadn't really studied the previous contract in detail.

"Is your mind filled with nothing but deception, fraud, and swindling?"

"You've been here for months, and you still don't know that my contract has a clause for voluntary termination?"

"I originally wanted to leave the club with a transfer fee, but now..."

"No! No way!" Matthias's words threw Kevin into complete panic.

If the other party does leave without a visa, his job will most likely be over.

If he's ousted after only three months in office, it's unlikely any club will be willing to give him another chance.

"I'm not here to ask for your opinion, you bastard, I'm here to inform you."

"I'm leaving here, and you won't get a single penny!"
