Chapter 56 Party
Chapter 56 Party
"It's been confirmed, the news is true."
After talking with Ibrahimovic, Li Yanqing found Barker again and reiterated his goal.
"The club absolutely must get promoted this season! You have to help me with everything you have, Barker!"
"Whether Nasri and Hart will stay next season depends on this."
"Also, I have a big surprise for you!"
"What kind of surprises can you possibly find?" Barker clearly didn't believe him.
He was not yet twenty-six years old and had not worked for any other club except for his unsuccessful assistant coaching experience at Manchester United.
Is it possible to sign Ibrahimovic to Burton?
"But I will do my best to support you, you know me."
"By the way, Chris told me there's a party this afternoon, is that your arrangement?"
“That’s right, it’s time to let the guys on the team relax a bit.” Li Yanqing nodded.
It's not a good thing for the players to be constantly on edge; Murphy was already close to breaking down.
He now regrets not realizing this sooner.
"Okay, I'll go, but is it really necessary for us to make such a big fuss?"
After listening to Chris's plan, Barker actually felt it was very outrageous.
The competition is the day after tomorrow, and instead of using today to train, why are you having such a big party...?
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"It's also important to relax occasionally."
......
"This is it."
After the morning training session ended and the players were ready, Li Yanqing immediately took them to a small villa.
He found this place himself, rented it for only one day, but it cost him a full five thousand pounds.
To be honest, he's been in England for so long and only feels that black tea is very cheap. Buying most other things feels like going to a rip-off shop.
As soon as he pushed open the door, Bradford, who was leading the group, was startled by several loud noises.
Welcome, our heroes!
Will, Strange, and other fan club members were already waiting inside.
They couldn't wait to set off their firework tubes, spilling beer everywhere right from the start.
Even though the team has suffered three consecutive losses recently, it has not affected their love for the players at all.
This is their hometown team, which was stuck in the lowest league a few years ago, but now they even have a chance to be promoted to the Premier League!
What else is there to be dissatisfied with?
"Boss...you didn't say there were others..."
Bradford was a bit nervous. He's a tough guy on the pitch, but he actually suffers from social anxiety.
This is the first time I've been this close to the fans!
"What's there to be afraid of? These aren't other people's fans!"
Li Yanqing pushed Bradford inside, and Jamie cheered him on from the side.
But he quickly became flustered as enthusiastic fans surrounded him, holding up his number 11 jersey and asking for his autograph.
As the club's attacking linchpin, he is also one of the team's most popular players.
Seeing the somewhat bewildered players, Li Yanqing also shouted, but this time it was directed at the opposing fans.
"Guys, what are you still holding back for?"
"This kind of opportunity won't come twice!"
Hearing his shout, the eager fans rushed over and quickly overwhelmed Burton's players.
As for Li Yanqing, it took a lot of effort for him to squeeze out.
"Li, you look terrible right now, not much better than when you were stabbed."
"Hahahahaha..."
Chris, watching Li Yanqing from behind, made merciless jokes.
“That’s really hurtful, Chris.”
Li Yanqing swore that although he had arranged it, the fans' reaction had truly exceeded his expectations.
"That's why I love Burton, the fans here are amazing!"
"Let them feel the fans' high expectations; how could they not give it their all during the game?"
"So, this is the purpose of this gathering?" Cheng Mengmeng had slipped in at some point, and after taking off her coat, she revealed a long dress underneath.
"Um...yes...yes."
Li Yanqing was stunned by the girl in front of him, and for a moment he stammered.
It seemed to be the first time he had seen her without covering herself up, and she even wore a little light makeup. Just that alone made him unable to look away.
It wasn't because the other person was particularly beautiful, but rather because it felt strange.
It's like the mummy that's always been by your side suddenly transforming into a beautiful and noble princess.
"If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out." Cheng Mengmeng gave him a disdainful look, bent her finger, and made a "digging" motion.
"Okay, let's talk about something else now."
Upon hearing this, Li Yanqing instantly sobered up.
What a lovely girl. It would be even better if she didn't know how to speak.
"Hey, long time no see, Li." Another woman walked over from a short distance away.
She was wearing a low-cut evening gown, exuding the air of an aristocratic lady, but the camera hanging around her neck was somewhat inappropriate.
“Miss Maggie, it’s a pleasure to have you here.”
Li Yanqing quickly stood up; this reporter had helped him a lot earlier.
"As I promised you, you have an exclusive interview right. You are the only reporter at this gathering."
"It's fine to report on it however you like."
"Thank you. I'm glad you kept your promise. You're much more reliable than that jerk Kevin." Maggie seemed to be in a good mood, and surprisingly, her words didn't offend anyone this time.
Would you mind if I interviewed the players?
"Burton's performance this season has surprised many people."
"No problem, of course no problem!" Li Yanqing nodded quickly. His players were going to be very busy today.
"Good heavens, her clothes... seem to be barely covering anything!"
"She's too infuriating! Bringing her here was definitely a mistake!"
"Can our lads hold on?"
Chris had never been a fan of this reporter, but he had to admit that the reporter had a really great physique.
"If you really care about the players, then stop staring at them!"
Cheng Mengmeng was already exasperated. Why were all these damned, stinky men the same?
"Forgive him; men are all two-faced creatures."
"Especially for single, older men like Chris."
Li Yanqing finally found an opportunity to joke back, and it must be said that what he said made perfect sense.
He deliberately didn't invite female fans, because he was afraid the players wouldn't be able to control themselves.
But who knew that Cheng Mengmeng and Maggie, one of the few girls, would have such a strong desire to perform?
