Chapter 59: The God-Making Plan?
Chapter 59: The God-Making Plan?
"Aha!"
After breaking his goal drought, Murphy roared with excitement, grabbed the corner flag, and waved it repeatedly toward the fans' stands.
He will be 19 years old in two months, and he has already scored 10 goals in his first team career.
For everyone, this is already a very good result.
For Li Yanqing, it was an even bigger surprise.
Name: Ivan Murphy
Age: 18 years old.
Status: Good.
Fatigue level: 30%.
Probability of injury: 15%.
Entry: [Goalkeeper] [Agile Center Forward].
This youth academy prodigy, whom he deemed to have far less potential than Quinn, actually learned a new skill attribute without the help of a "sudden enlightenment player"!
This once again refreshed Li Yanqing's understanding.
He always believed that only technical skills could be developed through practice, but now it seems that, under special circumstances, ordinary players also have the potential to master new skills.
He suddenly remembered the game against Blackburn at the end of last season.
That's when the opposing goalkeeper, who was completely outmatched, acquired the negative label "butterfingers".
Previously, the negative label "ADHD" for veteran goalkeeper Biwatt disappeared.
Does this mean that as long as you find the right method, you can completely customize the player's profile panel according to your own wishes?
Isn't that a blatant plan to create a god?
Absolutely invincible...
Thinking of this, Li Yanqing's train of thought was suddenly interrupted.
The final whistle blew, Burton Athletic led Norwich City 2-0.
The opposing head coach had come up to him and shake his hand.
"You played great, but we lost."
"Thank you, you guys are great too."
The praise from his opponents put him in a great mood. In addition, Murphy had mastered a new skill, and Quinn had also figured things out and was transforming into a qualified attacking midfielder.
We absolutely have to go out for a few drinks tonight to celebrate.
"Ruoze, how have you been lately?"
Upon returning to the club, Li Yanqing immediately called Mourinho.
Manchester United's match was played at the same time as theirs, and they beat Crystal Palace 1-0. The opponents should be in a good mood.
It's time to bring up the loan deal for Rojo.
"I'm alright, I won't die for now."
"What's been happening lately is absolutely ridiculous."
"Your situation is actually quite good, far exceeding my expectations."
Surprisingly, despite winning the game, Mourinho was still not in high spirits.
The current situation is that he has the final say on matters related to football, but his experiences outside of football are too outrageous and absurd.
The richer they are, the more outrageous and absurd they become.
But since they still have the leisure to check on Burton's situation, it shouldn't be too bad yet.
"The club is doing pretty well, isn't it?"
"As for me, I'm in a much worse situation than you. I just got out of the hospital not long ago."
Speaking of this, Li Yanqing had already poured out his grievances from the past half-season. But if they kept talking like this, it would probably go on forever, so he quickly brought up the real issue.
"I need your help with something, José."
"Tell me."
"I want Rojo, just a half-season loan will do..."
Faced with Li Yanqing's request, Mourinho remained silent for a moment before responding.
"I'm afraid that won't work. Lee, Rojo is still my key player."
Do you need a defender?
"Yes, when the competition gets intense, it's easy for young guys to not be able to keep up."
"I need a few experienced players, at least to keep the defense solid."
"If you want to use him, then I'll look for other candidates."
Since the other party said that Rojo would be the main player, Li Yanqing didn't have any hope for it.
Surprisingly, Mourinho hadn't finished speaking.
"Hmm... Rojo can't give it to you, but you can consider Blind."
"He doesn't get much playing time, and I don't think he'll stay at Old Trafford for long."
“Daley Blind?” Li Yanqing was a little surprised. He had worked at Manchester United for so long, so of course he knew this player.
He was a player bought during Van Gaal's tenure, but after Mourinho took over, his playing time became extremely limited.
Blind is actually quite capable; he can play in multiple positions, including left-back, center-back, and even defensive midfielder.
He is particularly good at passing the ball, has excellent defensive awareness, and rarely makes mistakes.
However, his physical condition is average; he is less than 1.8 meters tall, and his explosive power and turning speed are also very slow.
Unfortunately, Mourinho doesn't like using players with this kind of intuitive thinking.
Regardless of the position, he prefers to use players like Makelele and Drogba, who are physically strong and have powerful physiques.
At this point, Li Yanqing quickly found the notebook he used when he worked at Manchester United.
The entry for Blinder is above.
Name: Daly Brinder
Age: 27 years old.
Status: Poor.
Fatigue level: 10%.
Probability of injury: 2%.
Terms: [Interception], [Man Marking], [Passing Defender].
Compared to Rojo, who only has one "tank-type defender," Blind possesses more than just the technical attribute of a "ball-playing defender."
And it also gained two more skills!
While interception and marking are tasks that every defensive player must perform, those with these skills are undoubtedly the best.
"That's great!" Li Yanqing was overjoyed. Unlike Mourinho, he did not deliberately pursue the team's physical strength.
Players like Murphy, Jamie, Miller, Nasri, and Sun Yan are all fragile players.
All he needs to do is keep track of the probability of getting injured in the status stats!
If Blind is successfully signed, he can serve as a playmaker in the backfield.
As for whether anyone will be missed...
It's okay, Bradford and Sun Yan will fill in for him.
"He can be loaned out for a maximum of one year. In addition to his salary, you can add a small loan fee, let's say two million pounds."
Mourinho announced his price, but Li Yanqing became a little worried.
Will San Dezi agree to this?
"Don't worry, Blind won't get much playing time anyway."
"He might not sell the player to you directly, but he won't turn down money if it's a loan."
The former now knows Manchester United's CEO quite well.
"In addition, Blind has a year and a half left on his contract."
"Barcelona have been interested in him recently, but Woodward rejected the deal."
"That's why he's unhappy, and he might not be willing to play in the Championship."
"It's alright, I can handle the negotiations with the players myself," Li Yanqing said, expressing his understanding.
After all, they all had the opportunity to go to Barcelona, so it's normal that they didn't want to come to the Championship.
However, Burton Albion is currently in a good position, having regained fifth place after defeating Norwich City.
They have a great chance of making it to the Premier League this season!
He led the team to promotion to the Premier League, and then personally proved his ability to Mourinho.
Li Yanqing believed that Blind would also be very interested in this.
