Chapter 292 Victory as Captain
Chapter 292 Victory as Captain
Burton lost a substitution, but it's not a big problem.
Because after Kvalardona gradually found his rhythm, the attacks down the left flank became more aggressive.
He possesses both the ability to cross from the byline and the skill to dribble past opponents, making his technical style quite similar to Anderson's.
It can compensate for the other party's role.
However, Anderson, who has always been the more outstanding player, has been the team's main offensive weapon, so he has had fewer opportunities.
In addition, he also possesses the "Fast Horse on the Wing," making him actually faster than Anderson.
Although I am not as skilled as the latter in terms of technique, it doesn't matter.
As mentioned before, the opponent is not strong.
In the 44th minute, just before the end of the first half.
Kvalardona dribbles the ball and breaks through from the wing.
[Player and ball pass each other!]
This move isn't as effective as "Passing By Like a Puff," but in one-on-one situations, the two are actually quite similar.
The opposing right-back, who was responsible for marking him, couldn't keep up with him and was left several body lengths behind after he suddenly accelerated.
A large gap suddenly appeared in the defense line.
"That's it!"
“Cut inside!”
"Cut it in!"
Li Yanqing stood on the sidelines shouting, afraid that the players would act impulsively and habitually choose to go to the byline.
Ogradi was basically isolated in the penalty area and didn't get to the ball very easily.
All he could do was push the opponent's position as far inward as possible.
Fortunately, the inside cut training has yielded some results after so long.
Although there wasn't much space for him to execute a dribbling maneuver near the penalty area, he still did his best to bring the ball to the byline.
After drawing the attention of two opposing defenders, he successfully made a back pass.
A spectacular 1v3!
Quinn was there to provide support, and he launched his signature move with a kick.
[The Arrow Piercing the Clouds!]
After such a long period of training, his long-range shooting is no longer as raw as it used to be.
Faster.
It has even greater power.
"One to zero!"
"Quinn scored the goal!"
"A long-range shot from this young captain!"
"In his first game leading the team, he used his signature move to give the team the lead!"
"A wonderful moment!"
Just as the commentator was excitedly shouting, Burton fans once again waved Quinn's posters.
"Quinn! Well done!"
"I knew you could do it!"
As Burton's most watched rising star, he withstood the pressure this time.
Of course, Kvalardona also played brilliantly, so the two of them were now standing together on the sidelines celebrating.
The Nepalese youth team, already lacking in strength, was now completely demoralized.
They tried very hard in the first half, almost scoring and almost holding on.
Unfortunately, they almost all fell short in the end...
After scoring, Burton played with increasing confidence in the second half.
Li Yanqing did not substitute Ibrahimovic, but instead allowed Ogradi to continue venting his emotions on the field.
He used his remaining two substitutions on players in the defense.
Blind and Mangala were substituted, and Araujo and Sun Yan came on in their place.
These two players can also contribute to the offense, and they are reliable on defense as well.
In short, when they had the upper hand, Li Yanqing wanted to cultivate his own young players as much as possible.
The opposing coach made a last-ditch effort, bringing on three attacking players at once, but unfortunately, none of them were particularly outstanding.
It's still very difficult to break through Burton's defense.
However, they still deserve praise.
This underdog team, which was not favored by everyone, drew with two big teams in the first two games, and then caused Burton a lot of trouble.
This was arguably their toughest match so far since they entered the Europa League.
competition is over!
Burton FC beat Nepal Young Boys 1-0!
Both sides put on a tenacious and competitive match...
As the referee blew the final whistle, Quinn suddenly collapsed to the ground.
He now finally understood why the position of "captain" needed to be cultivated.
On the field, you must manage the relationships between players, take care of the emotions of other players, and be able to motivate them at any time.
Ideally, they should also be able to withstand all the pressure when the situation is unfavorable.
Fortunately, things weren't completely ruined.
"Haha, don't sit there!"
"Get up!"
"This match will be very beneficial for you!"
Murphy ran from the bench onto the field and, rather unkindly, dragged Quinn, who was almost exhausted, to force him to perk up.
"You're the captain, so even if you're going to collapse, you have to go home and collapse first."
"There will be media interviews and fans' well wishes later..."
"There are too many things for the captain to do!"
"Besides, no one should be dissatisfied with you now, my captain!"
Murphy's point is valid; now is definitely not the time to be lying on the ground.
Because enthusiastic fans had already rushed down from the sidelines.
Nobody did this when Will was still around.
Because everyone was waiting for him to rush in.
But now, they've decided to do it themselves...
"security guard!"
"Hold them down!"
Although the match was over, Li Yanqing did not intend to let the fans run wild.
This is Burton, their home ground!
"Everyone, if you have anything to say, please wait at the door."
"Our players will go there for a while and then come back."
"I'll give you time to get to know each other..."
Li Yanqing's patient persuasion was ineffective, as the few fanatical fans were shouting and struggling.
"Little Quinn!"
"Let your uncle take a look at you!"
"I've been watching you play football for four years!"
"Before you even made it into the first team..."
Although it was a bit extreme, it's still clear that Quinn gained a huge number of fans from this match.
Previously, in the team's most popular player surveys, it was usually Ibrahimovic or Murphy's name that came up.
Ibrahimovic is valued because his arrival has brought tremendous benefits to the club, and he is exceptionally talented.
Murphy was groomed as a rising star when he first joined the youth team, and his status was like that of the team's crown prince.
But what happened next was beyond people's expectations.
Murphy has always been a substitute, but the once unremarkable Murphy has now become the team's new generation captain.
There will be a constant stream of people who will discover his potential and come to like him.
"Come on, Captain."
"I can tell you're very tired."
"But we're going to meet with the media now."
After dealing with the fans, Li Yanqing pulled Murphy towards the post-game press conference area.
This is also a very important part. For the first time, he doesn't require the players to perform well. He just needs to make excuses that he is too tired and then switch to a cool and aloof mode.
But does this kid even know how to do this?
