Chapter 47 The Power of "Going My Own Way"



Chapter 47 The Power of "Going My Own Way"

October 31st, the twelfth round of the English Championship.

Burton Athletic secured a 3-0 victory over Rotherham United at home, erasing the gloom of their previous defeat.

After the game, Li Yanqing finally met with free agent Sittek.

After receiving the trial invitation from Burton, the other party initially expressed little interest, but after Chris communicated with them for a long time, he eventually decided to come and take a look.

Name: Sitke

Age: 26 years old.

Status: Normal.

Fatigue level: 10%.

Probability of injury: 15%.

Keywords: [Interception], [Disruptive Midfielder], [Independent and Unconventional]

This player's technique is not good; in fact, it could be described as quite rough.

But as a defensive midfielder, this is not a problem.

He possesses the skill attribute "Interception" and his technical characteristic is "Disruptive Midfielder," proving his amazing defensive abilities.

The negative term "self-centered" depends on the player's personality.

This term has appeared several times so far, and Li Yanqing feels that it can help players with strong willpower become even stronger.

But for most people, it's essentially an irreversible negative effect.

Especially Pogba and Choudhury, whom I encountered before, both of them were spoiled rich kids, which is a headache to think about.

As for Sitek in front of him, to be honest, Li Yanqing wasn't very confident.

According to previous reports, Sittek had a major conflict with Marseille's head coach, who went so far as to keep him on the bench for half a season.

After that, he rejected offers from all teams, preferring to remain on the bench rather than leave as a free agent.

They didn't intend to leave the club with a single penny of transfer fee.

That's why he became a free agent, and for two months he couldn't find a team of the same caliber to accept him.

"Hey, can you give me an answer now?"

Li Yanqing's struggling expression made the player feel very embarrassed.

He used to play in one of the top five European leagues!

He's only had a trial with a Championship team, and they don't seem very satisfied?

"Uh, sorry, I need to think about it."

I'll get back to you in a few days...

Before Li Yanqing could finish speaking, the other person had already taken off their training uniform and thrown it on the ground.

"No need to reply to me, I won't be coming here."

"This is the first time I've ever been looked down upon by a coach from a second-tier league."

"I won't do something so stupid again! Why don't I go to a top league club?"

Sitek glanced disdainfully at the training field and then left without looking back.

“Uh…” Li Yanqing stared at the departing figure, speechless for a moment.

He really didn't mean to look down on the other player; after all, the other player was much better than the current defensive midfielders in the team.

He was just worried about whether the other party could handle the term "self-willed".

Now it seems there's nothing to worry about.

The other party definitely can't control it.

"plum!"

"It took me a lot of effort to get him to come over."

"It would be fine if we just couldn't reach an agreement, but it seems you've angered the other party!"

Chris was somewhat angry when he saw this, feeling that Li Yanqing did not respect his hard work.

“Chris, this player is very willful. It’s best not to hire someone like him on the team,” Li Yanqing explained.

"I'll treat you to drinks tonight."

"By the way, how's Enzo doing?"

“It seems they don’t want to sell him.” Chris sighed as Enzo was mentioned.

"If he can offer three million pounds, that's another story, but it's hard to say if he can get a lower price. If we wait a few more years, he'll definitely be able to sell it for an even higher price."

"That kid's defensive awareness is really quite good."

"We can try contacting the player's family directly. Oh, and we can also promise him a starting position..."

While Li Yanqing and Chris were chatting, on the other side, Sitek had just stepped out of the club's gate when two people approached him.

"Hey! Sitek, you look like you're in a bad mood?"

"Perhaps we can talk..."

"Who are you? You'd better stay away from me, I'm in a bad mood right now."

Sitek didn't think these two sneaky guys could be good people, but they quickly pulled out business cards from their pockets.

“We are Raiola’s managers, and we’ve been watching you for a long time.”

"I heard you're coming to Burton Albion for a trial. To be honest, we think this team is not good enough for you."

"If you don't mind, we have a better place to recommend to you."

"Huh?" Sitek glanced at the business card in his hand and looked slightly puzzled.

Then I decisively went with them.

Who cares, this is a great opportunity!

Raiola, one of the world's top agents in football, usually wouldn't even catch the eye of a player of his caliber!

A week later, on November 7, Burton Albion defeated Nottingham Forest 3-1 away, securing all three points once again.

This put Li Yanqing in a good mood. If this momentum continues, entering the top three in the standings will definitely not be a problem when the transfer window reopens in the middle of the season.

Barker has said he will provide funds for the transfer so that he can properly bolster the team's roster.

To his surprise, Sittek, who had recently had a falling out with Burton Albion, turned around and joined their new arch-rivals, Huddersfield Town.

Is this also a consequence of "doing things my own way"?

Li Yanqing realized that he had underestimated the power of this term.

It seems that players who possess this keyword would stop at nothing to get revenge on their coach or team.

It was definitely the right decision not to hire him; no player in their prime would terminate their contract with a club for no reason.

The only problem is that their arch-enemy has intensified its efforts once again.

With Sittek and Baselli, this is definitely a Premier League-level defensive midfield combination.

And the position they occupy is still held by two rookies from the youth training teams.

This made him even more eager to buy Enzo Fernandez.

The next round of the league is on the 18th, so there are still eleven days to go.

He has decided to personally visit River Plate to see what the player's potential is really like.

As long as the 16-year-old player doesn't have a terminal illness, he can accept most negative comments.

At worst, I can use it until I'm in my twenties and then sell it.

What Li Yanqing doesn't know yet is that Enzo Fernandez is indeed a very nice young man.

In the future, he became an important helper in Messi's World Cup victory!
