Chapter 122 The New Burtons

Time quickly passed to May 15th.

The World Cup has reached the final, but Li Yanqing still couldn't make it to the stadium.

He has returned to Burton and pre-match training has begun.

The conference room was filled with many new faces, all gathered around watching the live broadcast of the final.

Blind, Cazorla, Justin, Araujo, Ibrahimovic, Anderson...

In fact, only Pepe hasn't reported to the team yet.

Portugal were defeated 2-1 in the round of 16, and it's worth mentioning that Pepe scored that goal.

He will miss the club's first pre-season friendly.

In addition, Barker secured deals with David Lewis and Felipe Anderson.

The former's transfer fee was £12 million, while the latter's was £30 million plus £13 million in add-ons.

In short, they went over budget...

“Barker, it’s okay, you definitely won’t mind.”

"We were going to buy star players anyway, and now we have Ibrahimovic, and Anderson and others."

"You will definitely be able to earn back the money you overspent."

Li Yanqing sat in the front seat, next to Ibrahimovic, and behind him were Barker, Chris, Nave, and the newly joined John's team.

Behind them are the other players.

The team's current forwards include Ibrahimovic, Murphy, Matias, Kvalatschlia, and Anderson.

It's more than enough, and the new players are all of good quality.

Name: Felipe Anderson

Age: 24 years old.

Status: Good.

Fatigue level: 5%.

Probability of injury: 1%.

Keywords: [Master-level cross from the byline], [Powerful striker], [Dribble past defenders with ease], [Winger]

Anderson, Burton's most expensive signing this summer, is a very good player and will inherit Jamie's number 11 jersey, taking on the responsibility of being the team's main attacker.

Name: Hvča Kvalatskhya

Age: 17 years old.

Condition: Excellent.

Fatigue level: 5%.

Probability of injury: 1%.

Entry: [Cross from the byline], [Fast winger], [Passing the ball past the defender].

Then there's the young player, Kvaladona (we'll call him that from now on), who's only 17 years old, but according to his profile, he has one more skill than Matias: "crossing from the byline".

Li Yanqing couldn't help but want to hand over the number 7 jersey to him, but after thinking it over, he gave the number 7 to Matias in recognition of his contributions to the team last season.

Kroos will wear number 77 for now, and when he matures, he will naturally take over the jersey number from Kroos.

As for Ibrahimovic... no need to pick, number 9.

The midfield consisted of Quinn, Nasri, Cazorla, Enzo, and Baselli.

They only added veteran Cazorla, which is enough to rotate players.

Quinn took over the iconic number 10 jersey, while Enzo wore number 6.

Cazorla was unable to wear the starting number because number 8 is still worn by Nasri, so he could only choose number 20, which is his number for the national team.

The defense currently consists of Bradford, David Luiz, Blind, Araujo, Justin, Sun Yan, and Pepe, who has not yet joined the team.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart, and a backup goalkeeper are not being considered for the time being, because they don't have a penny to their name right now.

Let's promote one from the youth training team to use first.

Joe Hart took over the number 1 jersey from veteran goalkeeper Biwatt, number 2 went to David Luiz, and number 3 went to Blind.

As for Peipei, it doesn't matter; he wouldn't care what size he wears.

The summer transfer window saw a total expenditure of £7500 million, with nine new signings excluding the youth academy.

It's almost as good as an entire team.

......

"It was an own goal by Mandzukic..."

Perisic has equalized!

"This offensive strategy seems like something we could learn from."

"Penalty! Griezmann takes it...Goal!"

This was a match worth studying, with veterans like Modric, Perisic, and Mandzukic on one side, and top stars like Griezmann, Pogba, and Mbappe on the other.

While the veterans' hard work is commendable, the gap in skill level is still quite significant.

The score quickly became 4-2.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Lloris's mistake, they might not have been able to score another goal.

Modric must have a perpetual motion machine.

This was Li Yanqing's most direct impression after watching the entire match.

At nearly 33 years old, he can still run all over the court.

This reminded him of Real Madrid's fitness coach, Pintus.

"John, can your physical conditioning team do what Pintus does?"

"Huh?" John was taken aback, then immediately realized what he meant.

"If we had that level of expertise, we would definitely offer you ten million."

"Alright." Li Yanqing could only put away his fantasies.

The reason why a wealthy family is a wealthy family is because of various aspects.

It's not just about the players, but also about the entire player development system and the team's own culture.

In short, this World Cup has elevated Modric's status to a new level. Although the team lost, he is now a strong contender for this year's Ballon d'Or.

And then there's the team that won.

Griezmann's value has skyrocketed, and Mbappe, who cost PSG €180 million, has also proven that he is truly worth the price.

And with Pogba scoring in the final, Mourinho's days are probably going to be even tougher...

"Everyone, I hope that by the next World Cup..."

"You don't need to sit here with me."

"Our place is too small, it's quite crowded."

"I'd better be able to see you on TV!"

Li Yanqing shouted to his players.

The young players clearly fall for this tactic.

Who wouldn't want to lead their national team to shine at the World Cup?

"If you need to take leave, just ask me for leave."

"I will approve them all."

"What if you guys can also boost my market value to a hundred or two hundred million at the World Cup...?"

Ibrahimovic, sitting in the front row, maintained his smile; he had already retired from the national team, so this had nothing to do with him.

David Lewis chose to remain silent.

He not only went to the World Cup, but he even served as captain, but...

Hopefully, others will forget about this as soon as possible.

And Hart, uh...

Being called up to the national team is definitely a good thing.

This proves, at least to some extent, that they have earned the national team's approval...
