Chapter 288 Ibrahimovic's Decision

Ibrahimovic did encounter a minor problem.

This has led him to spend a lot of time reflecting on life lately.

"Li, shouldn't everyone have a place to call home?"

"That's how it is, whether it's life or the team."

“Yes, but you can also choose to retire here.” Li Yanqing already knew what was going on.

He asked Raiola, who readily told him.

AC Milan hopes to bring Ibrahimovic back to the San Siro in the next transfer window.

Since Juventus began their reign of dominance there, Serie A has declined even more rapidly, with other teams losing a large number of fans.

Some of the former Seven Sisters teams even struggled to support themselves.

They are all hoping for a revival.

Milan believes it's time to bring back their legendary player and have him take on the responsibility of leading the team's revival.

Emotionally speaking, Ibrahimovic would probably go back without hesitation.

After all, he helped Burton win the FA Cup, which was a remarkable achievement for Burton last year.

But this year things seem to be better.

The team has the ability to compete for the Premier League title, and even the Europa League title.

Also, he was a little reluctant to part with Li Yichuan.

That young man really suited his taste.

“I will definitely go back, you already knew that, Li.”

"They gave me everything."

Ibrahimovic frankly expressed his thoughts, stating that he had already made the decision when he joined the club.

"Don't do that, Zlatan."

"We only won one FA Cup title."

"That thing doesn't actually weigh much, you know..."

Li Yanqing understood that she could not keep him, so she looked very frustrated.

There are only a few games left before the next transfer window.

"That won't keep me here, but it makes a lot of sense."

"So I told Milan that I hope to transfer away again next season."

"I want to stay here and finish this season."

"We also have a match against Ruozer and a match against Sandezi."

"There's even a chance to compete for the championship..."

"How can I leave now?"

Ibrahimovic patted Li Yanqing with a smile, his expression seemingly saying, "See, I'm a good friend, right?"

"Of course!" Li Yanqing nodded vigorously.

They all understood that if Ibrahimovic hadn't kept his promise, no one could really say anything against him.

It's perfectly normal for players of this caliber to be unwilling to join newly promoted teams.

His joining the company came as a complete surprise to everyone who learned of it.

Then, Burton's competitive ability and commercial attributes both improved significantly.

His personal charisma alone attracted many players to join his team.

Without him, even if Li Yanqing could now train a number of players of the same caliber as the main rotation players, he would not have achieved the current results.

At best, they'll be lucky to get the team to the mid-table of the Premier League.

"Forget it, we can't keep them even if we force them."

"I'm already very satisfied to have finished this season."

Li Yanqing quickly adjusted her mindset.

He thought he had already accepted the players' departure, but he didn't expect to break his composure again with Ibrahimovic.

"We can still strive for the championship."

"If you can win two trophies in two years here, then your trip won't have been in vain."

“Of course!” Ibrahimovic grinned and laughed.

"What's that saying from your area?"

"Whoever gets me... will win the league championship!"

"I think so too!"

This was, of course, a joke.

At least during his time at Manchester United, he failed to help the team win the league title.

However, this also proves just how stable his condition is.

To win the league title, consistently securing points is paramount, which is why Li Yanqing heavily strengthened the defense during the transfer window.

However, if Ibrahimovic wants to leave the team, he might have to consider buying another player...

Wait, it seems unnecessary to buy it.

Tactically, Ogradi is capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities; he has done a very good job of holding down the opponent's defense.

As for goals...

Li Yichuan!

Together, the two of them are equivalent to the function of a complete Ibrahimovic.

Most importantly, the latter still has a lot of room for growth.

Ogradi should be able to hold on until he matures.

very good!

Thinking about this made Li Yanqing feel much better.

The most important thing now is to give Ibrahimovic a dignified departure.

For players like this, press conferences alone are not enough, in Li Yanqing's opinion.

champion!

He must be honored with a championship as his farewell ceremony.

"Jens!"

"Neville!"

"We've set our goals for this season!"

At the meeting that evening, Li Yanqing announced his decision.

This season, the team will strive to win both the league and Europa League titles.

As for why there was no FA Cup...

Honestly, winning either of these championships would be a pretty good achievement. If you could win both, it would be almost like having a cheat code.

Because Burton's current squad is not strong enough to support all three competitions.

If they had thirty players, that would be more like it, but their first team currently has less than twenty-five.

The time was still too short...

Of course, even if you don't have that much time to develop players, you can just buy them directly.

However, this does not align with Burton's current transfer strategy.

Robinson was still in the United States and had not returned to England.

Without him in charge, the club received no funding.

In other words, they can only rely on themselves to buy and sell players during this transfer window, and they won't have a single penny to their name.

However, Li Yanqing had no objection to this.

He doesn't need to buy new players; he just needs to keep the current players.

Even if he sells a few players, he can find a few substitutes to fill the gaps, but this will inevitably have some impact on the team's cohesion.

Their goal this season is to win the championship, and Li Yanqing doesn't want anything to cause the team to lose points.

Even a point or two is now something we fight for in every game.

"Uh... although the situation is quite good right now."

"But we haven't encountered a truly tough team yet."

"In the league, we are far behind Manchester City and Liverpool in terms of experience."

"As for the Europa League, qualifying shouldn't be a problem, but Roma, Arsenal, and Manchester United are all strong opponents."

"They're all waiting for us behind us."

Burton is already very familiar with Arsenal and Manchester United.

As for Roma... Manolas was a former Roma player.

It's not entirely unfamiliar.

Moreover, under Li Yanqing's leadership, Burton dared not say anything else, but he adjusted very quickly.

Whether it's on-the-spot performance or the team's fixed tactics.

This is all the case.
