Chapter 291 Teammate Conflict
Chapter 291 Teammate Conflict
Li Yanqing's attention was entirely on Anderson just now.
They didn't notice the situation on the field.
After conceding a goal, the Nepalese youth team launched a brilliant counterattack.
They bypassed Blind and then dribbled the ball in from Burton's right flank.
Lars Bender hasn't arrived yet.
At this moment, the opposing player immediately took a shot.
Heavy Gunner!
Fortunately, Karius is now in his complete form, and his strength is actually quite good when he has no negative attributes.
【barrier】!
He managed to poke the ball out of bounds with incredible speed!
Almost...
Li Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief. Although conceding a goal wasn't a big problem, it was Quinn's first game as captain, and he hoped to achieve a beautiful victory.
Ideally, it would be a resounding victory with a clean sheet.
However, it seems the chances are slim.
The opposing team is indeed very motivated; they might lose a goal at any moment.
Just like that.
Fortunately, Karius played well.
At this moment, Quinn was just as anxious.
The main reason is that I don't want the fans' well wishes to become a joke.
Seeing his teammates performing poorly, he couldn't help but start shouting.
"Anderson!"
"Focus!"
"You made all mistakes just now!"
"None of your business! You little brat!"
Anderson was clearly not someone to be trifled with. He had played terribly and was in a bad mood, so how could he possibly accept being lectured by a child?
He did not object to Quinn being appointed captain.
But he never believed that holding the position of captain gave him the right to criticize others at will.
Quinn didn't speak, but just looked at Anderson with a strange expression.
He didn't know what to say, because he had never had any experience reprimanding his teammates.
But he at least understood that it's not appropriate to talk back when someone is not performing well.
"Hey!"
"Anderson! Shut your beak!"
"He's not some little brat!"
O'Grady heard them clearly, and he was already angry when Anderson said "brat".
Who is Quinn?
He is a future star whom Li Yanqing has been nurturing since he first came to Burton.
And he, Ogradi, is the young head coach's most loyal follower.
So he started cursing, even though it was his own teammate.
"Big guy, you're a newbie too, you have no right to speak."
"I'd like to hear what Zlatan has to offer!"
Anderson also ignored O'Grady; there were never many people at Burton who could earn his respect.
Ibrahimovic is one, and so is captain Bradford, who gave his all in previous matches.
The former is due to ability, while the latter is due to attitude.
As for Ogrady and Quinn...
He never thought the other party was particularly impressive.
Ogrady also had a fiery temper; he almost physically attacked Anderson.
Fortunately, Quinn stopped him in time.
Assaulting a teammate can also result in a red card, and may even lead to a suspension of several more matches.
He certainly didn't want something like this to happen in his first game as head coach.
He then turned to look at Li Yanqing.
Then he made a gesture to request a substitution.
It's actually easy to solve; if they don't listen, just replace them.
His confidence always stemmed from the head coach standing on the sidelines.
At this moment, the match had been paused due to the argument, and Li Yanqing acted quickly, immediately sending Mattias onto the field.
Now Lyman should have nothing to say.
This substitution was requested personally by the captain.
Anderson was clearly unconvinced. He glanced at the Burton players on the field and suddenly shook his head.
The most important breakthrough point in this game was himself; his absence was tantamount to breaking one of the team's arms.
Let's see how you guys win!
When players leave the field in a huff, they naturally won't interact with the head coach or substitutes.
Of course, Li Yanqing didn't intend to indulge him.
He also showed no intention of interacting with the players.
He was already finding it hard to tolerate his terrible performance, yet he still dared to talk back to his teammates on the field?
And he's the captain!
He wants to put Quinn in power, so of course he'll deal with anyone who objects to it.
"Twenty-sixth minute!"
Burton has used his first substitution!
"Their players seemed to have a problem with their new captain, and then he was promptly substituted."
"I have to say, his attitude was really firm."
The commentators were somewhat amused at this point, as such a scene is indeed rare on the field.
However, Li Yanqing's swift replacement of personnel left him with little opportunity to follow the drama unfold.
"He left, departing early."
A few minutes later, Lehmann came to inform Li Yanqing that Anderson hadn't been on the bench for long at all, and then packed his things and left the club.
"Uh, isn't this our home turf?"
"I don't think I announced a holiday, did I? Where did he go?"
Li Yanqing suddenly thought of a question.
Now it's not just about arguing with the captain and playing terribly, but also about not watching the entire match as required and leaving the team without permission.
The punishment has become more severe.
As for his personal issues, we'll discuss that later; the team's interests must take precedence.
"He must be in a bad mood. Should we send someone to check what happened?"
"I worry......"
Before Lyman could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Li Yanqing.
"Let's not talk about this."
"He's an adult."
"One needs to take responsibility for one's actions."
"I'll talk to him when he gets back."
"But you can inform him that if I don't see him at the training ground tomorrow, he doesn't need to come again."
Li Yanqing usually doesn't take such a firm stance on the players' attitudes.
But there was no other way; this involved Quinn, and he had to deal with it seriously.
The reason they dared to do this is mainly because the team's strength is very solid.
Anderson is no longer the irreplaceable person he once was.
"Uh, you're planning to sell him?" Lyman also understood the implication in Li Yanqing's words.
"Not necessarily."
"If he can apologize to Quinn in public and get forgiveness before accepting my punishment, then there will be no problem."
"Otherwise, we could find a new winger."
Li Yanqing's words were essentially no different from simply selling the other party outright.
At least on his side, there's no room for a reversal.
But if Anderson were truly a rational person, he wouldn't have acted this way on the court.
"No, Li, I think you should reconsider."
"No matter what, he is a hero of the team."
"He played a crucial role in enabling us to achieve last season's ranking."
Lehmann seems to still want to salvage the crumbling trust between the head coach and the players.
Unfortunately, Li Yanqing was also someone who didn't know how to turn back.
Use your own values to do what you believe is right.
This was his creed for survival.
