Football: I can see player entries

Murphy was transferred to the first team by Li Yanqing and used as the main center forward.

Although the big man O'Grady is good, he is not suitable for starting, because he can be said to be useless except for heading. He is more suitable to play as a substitute.

As for the team's original center forward Biwen, he is already 32 years old and his strength has declined seriously.

Li Yanqing plans to abandon him.

Soon, the time came to the next game day.

Burton Athletic played against Birmingham City at home.

The opponent is strong and is a mid-level team in the English Championship.

For Burton, it will be a tough nut to crack.

Fortunately, the home team's audience seats are finally no longer empty this time. In the last game, they chased three goals in a row and won the reversal. There were not many fans of the team present, which made the fans who had not won for a long time regretful.

Once the momentum was good, they immediately waved flags to cheer for the home team.

Li Yanqing, the new head coach, also appeared in front of the fans for the first time.

When he passed through the player tunnel, the fans gave him very warm applause.

Obviously, after learning the news of the home team's victory, they all watched the replay and knew that the home team had hired a temporary coach.

The fans were much more honest. Regardless of whether it was temporary or not, as long as it brought victory, they were willing to give their applause and cheers without hesitation.

However, when Li Yanqing's lineup appeared on the big screen, they inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.

No Jami, no Palmo, no Chaudhry, no O'Grady......

In the past, the team's offensive players seemed to have been pressed on the bench.

Obviously, the fans did not know that Palmer and Choudhury had been sent to the second team by him.

Fortunately, Quinn, who scored the last goal, and their captain Bradford still started this game.

Li Yanqing's arrangement was of course planned. The team's main task in the first half was defense.

For this reason, he deliberately arranged a 4-5-1 lineup, leaving only Murphy, who had just been promoted, near the center circle.

The rest of the people defended with all their strength.

In the second half, Jamie and O'Grady were used as surprise soldiers.

This game was extremely important. If he could win, his position would be completely consolidated.

But, would it be so smooth?

At the beginning of the game, the opponent put a lot of pressure on them.

In less than ten minutes, they completed several shots.

Fortunately, they were all blocked by their own defenders who arrived in time.

The opponent's strength was a little stronger than Li Yanqing expected.

There were several offensive players in the team.

The good news is that he didn't see any long-range shooting items like [Cloud Piercing Arrow] or [Heavy Gunner], so the chances of the opponent suddenly firing a cold arrow and ending the game were low.

"Lee, I'm a little worried......."

Chris did not question Li Yanqing's tactics, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Do you remember how they won the last game?

It was because they forced the opponent to defend.

"Don't worry, the situation is different."

Li Yanqing shook his head. In the last game, they pressed hard, mainly to take advantage of the opponent's low morale.

In this game, with sufficient physical strength, it was not so easy to lose the ball.

The situation was just as he said.

The opponent bombarded in their own half, but they did not score a goal.

Burton almost had no possession of the ball until the 30th minute, when they finally made a decent attack.

After intercepting the ball in the backcourt, right winger Miller broke through with the ball and made a good through pass.

Murphy successfully countered the offside, ran out a single knife, and got a chance to face the goalkeeper.

However, the final shot was too straight and was caught steadily by the opponent's goalkeeper.

"What a pity!"

Li Yanqing and Chris were both very sorry. It would be hard to have such an opportunity again if it was missed.

The young man really suffered from his lack of experience.......

Some old sayings are absolutely true, missing opportunities will bring retribution.

Just as the first half entered stoppage time, the opponent finally seized the opportunity, opened a gap in the penalty area, and successfully scored.

The home team fell behind 0-1.

They almost defended the first half, who would have thought that they would lose a goal in stoppage time.

Li Yanqing was a little helpless, but only conceding one goal in the first half was still within his acceptable range.

The opponent attacked hard for fifty minutes and had consumed more than half of their physical strength.

It will be their turn to perform soon.

As for the players' status, there is no problem for the time being.

Most of them are [preferred], and only a few with a bad mentality have become [average].

For example, their goalkeeper......

In the 55th minute of the second half, Li Yanqing replaced center forward Murphy and a midfielder with Jamie and O'Grady.

No need to say anything, everyone knew that this was the signal for a counterattack.

The opposing coach obviously realized this, so he also called his substitutes to warm up.

But what shocked him was that before the warm-up was over, the score was instantly tied!

Jamie, who had just come on the court, made a cross after a breakthrough. Bradford, who was full of anger in the first half, broke into the penalty area, grabbed the back point, and sent the ball into the goal!

""Wooooo! Captain! Our captain!"

The home team fans were extremely excited, waving their flags and singing the club's unique battle song.

They had been waiting for this moment for too long.

Although they missed all three goals in the last game, it didn't matter, there would be countless more goals waiting for them in the future!

Bradford roared on the court, venting his depression in the first half.

What a wild player!

Li Yanqing didn't expect the effect to be so immediate.

This time......It must be luck, right?

"Substitution! Direct substitution!"

The opposing coach was almost furious. He started preparing a response strategy almost at the same time. As a result, the score was tied within two minutes of your substitution?

Before coming to the Riverbank Stadium, they never expected it to unfold like this.

Is this the script that a newly promoted team in the Championship should have?

It must be said that their response was actually quite good. They specially sent fast full-backs and tall central defenders to carry out targeted defense.

However, this also caused their offense to become weak.

The offense and defense have been completely changed.

Now it is Burton's turn to attack hard.

This is indeed"bitter".

Birmingham City is not a weak team like Brentford, and the players are much stronger.

In theory, it should be an advantageous situation, but because the strength of Burton's players is insufficient, they are deeply entangled in a fight with the opponent and it is difficult to attack the penalty area.

Until the 80th minute, there was still no improvement.

At this time, Li Yanqing was finally ready to use his last substitution. The situation was very tense, and there were many free kick opportunities in good positions. At this time, a free kick expert was just needed. Veteran Williamson has finished warming up.

"After you come on the court, all free kicks are yours. As long as there is an angle, shoot it into the opponent's goal!"

"Don’t worry about anything!"

"Got it, boss." Williamson nodded and ran to the field.

Soon he got free kicks one after another, but the positions were not very good.

It was not until the third free kick that he finally got a good opportunity with a good position. As the game was coming to an end, veteran Williamson lived up to expectations and successfully ended the game with a beautiful elevator ball.

"gooooooooal!"

"The decisive blow!"

"Burton team completed another reversal!"

"Two consecutive wins!"
