Chapter 378 Easy?
Chapter 378 Easy?
The next day, Riverside Stadium was packed with people.
Compared to previous matches, this time there were almost no standing spots left in the stands.
As per the rules, they reserved only a quarter of the seats for Roma fans who had traveled from afar.
But unexpectedly, there were at least five thousand Roma fans at the scene.
More than half of them hadn't been able to buy tickets, but they still managed to get here.
It's easy to imagine how much the opposing team desperately wanted their team to achieve a good result.
In order not to affect ticket revenue, John Fleck Jr. had some of the seats in the stands removed, which is why the stadium now looks like a dark, crowded mass.
It's basically impossible to see their specific movements anymore.
"I'm so angry now!"
"He's crazy!"
"He must be crazy!"
Chris stood next to Li Yanqing, complaining incessantly.
He originally wanted to stop Little Fleck from doing this, but during the voting process, Barker surprisingly chose to support the other side.
"This is our home ground!"
"But their numbers are no less than ours!"
"Are you planning to have the players play a home game that feels like an away game?"
"If the team's performance is affected, this amount of income is simply not enough to make up for it!"
"Quiet down, Chris." Li Yanqing patted Chris on the back, hoping he could calm down.
Although this matter could affect the team, it was not within his jurisdiction, and he had no right to interfere.
Now that it has happened, complaining won't do much good.
"Don't get angry."
"At least, don't do it in front of the players and fans."
"You're one of the team's most attractive players..."
“No, I’m not important.” Chris shook his head, looking at the office area with a resentful expression.
"As long as the team performs well, they can win the championship every year, bringing them huge revenue."
"No one would dare say it's wrong to let anyone represent the team at the press conference."
"I don't understand! Why can't he understand such a simple principle..."
“He messed up the brewery business and now he needs to make a name for himself.” Li Yanqing could guess why; it wasn’t complicated.
"Being able to generate revenue for the club means we've done something, at least in a small way."
"Of course, it hurts the players' feelings a bit."
"It's not just the players who are hurt!" Chris suddenly smiled bitterly and explained.
“I wouldn’t have been this angry normally, but when I told him about it, do you know what he said?”
He said that no matter what the circumstances, losing a game is always the coaching staff's fault!
"This is so irresponsible!"
"His skill level is even lower than Woodward's!"
"At least they actually know how to make money! He, on the other hand, only knows how to hold everyone back..."
"Unless you're confident you can convince Robinson to hand the club over to someone else in the future, don't say that." Li Yanqing was usually quite outspoken, but this time he stopped Chris.
"He's just young; he needs some experience...and lessons."
"Of course, I won't intentionally lose the game because of that."
"But one day in the future, he will surely realize his mistake."
“He’s still different from San Dezi.”
"He knew everything, but he still decided to do it."
After being reminded by Li Yanqing, Chris suddenly realized that Robinson seemed to only have one son.
Unless the club is sold, he will definitely take over in the future.
Thinking of this, he could only shrug and then sit down on the coach's bench with a sullen face, brooding over his own anger.
He understands the logic, but why did he choose to do it at such a crucial time for the club?
As for Li Yanqing...
Ultimately, he was just an employee.
He's satisfied as long as the other party doesn't interfere in the team's affairs.
Although, sometimes the situation can be quite frustrating.
"cheer!"
"We must maintain our formation in this match!"
As the players entered the field, Li Yanqing reminded his teammates from the sidelines.
The tactics for this match were not complicated; it was the team's familiar 4-2-3-1 formation.
The reason he didn't maintain the same pace as the previous match was because he didn't want his opponents to easily adapt to the rhythm of the game.
Of course, Lyman was still the primary person in charge of formulating tactics.
Although it was sudden, Li Yanqing had already made up her mind.
They're going to send him out to be the head coach next season.
"Wait, why does it feel like the opponent's formation is different from the one they used on the field?"
"They don't seem to only know how to play counter-attacking football."
Lehmann looked at Roma's formation with some confusion.
Because they set up a 4-4-2 formation.
相比4-2-3-1,4-4-2的进攻更强一些,不过相对应的,对球员素质的要求也就越高。
Even after coaching Burton for so long, Li Yanqing still doesn't dare to try playing like that.
"Could it be that they have some hidden trick up their sleeve?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Although the formation has changed, the starting players haven't changed at all..."
The lineups for both sides were now displayed on the big screen.
After a few minutes, it switched back to the scoreboard.
The overall score is now tied at 1-1.
Even after watching it closely for a while, Li Yanqing couldn't see anything wrong with it.
"Ignore it for now."
"Just kick them and you'll know what they're up to."
"We're not so easy to deal with here!"
"certainly......"
Game start.
Although both sides had already set up their formations, Burton, playing a 4-2-3-1 formation, launched the first attack.
They skillfully switched to a 3-5-2 formation during their attack, with Ibrahimovic and Matias on the right wing penetrating deep into the opponent's penalty area, while Sun Yan filled in at wing-back.
Quinn appears to be the most active player on the team, and he's showing a strong offensive drive right now.
After passing the ball to Kvaradona on the wing, he immediately moved to the top of the penalty area.
However, while the defenders were busy marking Quinn and Ibrahimovic who were making forward runs, Kvalardona suddenly chose to cut inside.
[Player and ball pass each other!]
The Roma defender was caught off guard and got beaten, much to his embarrassment that there was a wide, flat road in front of him!
Everyone seemed to be tied up with something.
Kvalardona sprinted all the way, cutting straight into the penalty area...
"No way?"
"Am I really thinking too much?"
"The opponent seems to have become weaker after changing their formation."
Lehmann stared intently at the ball; he hadn't expected to break through the opponent's defense so easily.
In the end, the Roma center-back couldn't stand it anymore and chose to cover for Kvaradona.
The latter passed the ball to Ogladi, who had abandoned his defensive duties.
Raise your foot and shoot!
