Chapter 30 The Last Choice

After negotiations with Raiola broke down, Li Yanqing immediately notified Robinson.

Most clubs are trying to avoid this vampire-like man as much as possible, because who knows if they might accidentally fall into his trap.

Only those wealthy and powerful families with deep-rooted traditions have the confidence to cooperate with him normally.

"Hmm... well done, Li."

"I will be careful, don't worry. As long as I'm still here, the club's shares will never be handed over to anyone."

Robinson's answer reassured Li Yanqing.

If Burton wants to be developed into a super club like Real Madrid, having too many people in charge is not a good thing.

But soon, Li Yanqing put these trivial matters behind him.

He's just the head coach, not the team chairman.

He can't make those decisions; he should focus on strengthening the roster.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect him..."

Upon hearing the news, Mourinho called immediately.

He was equally angry about Raiola's actions.

"Raiola can't solve your problem, but I might be able to give you some direction."

Have you heard of Nasri?

Li Yanqing had certainly heard of Samir Nasri, the former talented attacking midfielder who, along with Benzema, Menez, and Ben Arfa, was known as one of the "Four Little Swans of '87".

The most famous of them is of course Real Madrid striker Benzema, but Nasri's previous experience was equally fantastic.

At just 18 years old, he became a key attacking midfielder for Ligue 1 club Marseille, and later joined Arsenal and Manchester City, winning the league title twice with Manchester City.

He was once considered Zidane's successor.

However, since Guardiola took over Manchester City, he has been loaned out due to reasons such as being overweight and disobeying the coach's instructions.

These problems caused the proud player's mentality to completely collapse, and he suffered from constant injuries and performed extremely poorly last season.

“Nasri was previously loaned to Sevilla, and they did not buy him outright.”

"In fact, I doubt any top-tier league club would be willing to give him another chance."

"Manchester City are planning to sell him cheaply, and if you can activate him, there is no one more suitable than him."

In fact, directly loaning Manchester United's outstanding youth academy players to Burton would be a better solution, but Woodward certainly wouldn't allow them to do that.

As things stand, Nasri is a good choice, since even if he's in bad form, he can still play in the Championship.

Li Yanqing immediately instructed Chris to contact Manchester City and inquire about their offers.

"The price isn't high, and the other party only has six months left on their contract."

“A direct buyout would cost three million pounds, which we don’t have, but we can lease it for six months first.”

"That way, we only need to cover part of the other party's salary, 800,000 pounds."

"But this is our entire budget. Do you really think Nasri can solve our problems?"

"To put it bluntly, his condition was absolutely terrible."

Chris expressed skepticism about the choice, noting that Nasri had been incredibly injury-prone throughout the past year.

Li Yanqing was unsure about this; he couldn't guarantee anything until he saw the entry panel.

So he went straight to Manchester the next day.

As for Nasri himself, he quickly agreed to talk to Li Yanqing.

He himself has little interest in staying at Manchester City and knows that he is definitely not in Guardiola's plans.

Although he is in poor form, he still hopes to stay in one of the top five leagues, but unfortunately no club is willing to take him on.

In fact, without Burton's offer, he would have been sent to Antalya club a month later.

With the Championship, a second-tier league, on one side, and the Turkish Super League, far removed from the top five leagues, he still preferred to join Burton Albion.

"Hey, Samir, you don't look too well."

Nasri seemed very proactive, arriving a while early, which pleased Li Yanqing greatly, as it seemed the other party wasn't the type to remain completely stagnant.

"After a terrible experience, no one is in a good mental state."

Nasri was clearly disappointed with his situation, and just one sentence made him fall into deep thought.

Li Yanqing took the opportunity to observe his entry panel.

Name: Samir Nasri

Age: 30 years old.

Status: Extremely poor.

Fatigue level: 30%.

Probability of injury: 40%.

Entry: [Tactical Master], [Midfield Commander], [Arrogant], [Glutton].

In terms of terms, the technical style is "Midfield Commander," while "Tactical Master" is like a stable version of "A Flash of Brilliance."

He is exactly the kind of midfield maestro that Burton desperately needs.

The personality trait "Arrogant" is slightly more normal than Eevee's "Arrogant," a mix of good and bad, which may be the key to activating the opponent.

If the other person has no sense of pride at all, he really doesn't know how to train them.

As for "glutton," it is undoubtedly a completely negative term for athletes.

Li Yanqing now understands why Nasri fell from grace so quickly.

Because of his gluttony, he was unable to maintain his weight, which significantly increased his risk of injury.

It's rather ironic that such an excellent player was ruined by his appetite.

"I think you know what you should do now without me having to tell you."

Li Yanqing had no doubt about the opponent's ability, nor did he doubt the opponent's intelligence. After all, someone with Balotelli's brain couldn't play as a midfield core.

"Lower your cholesterol, then play football like before."

Nasri nodded. This was a fact that everyone acknowledged, and he had come to realize it after that terrible experience.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to prove myself. I will work hard for it."

"I just didn't expect that the head coach who created the miracle was so young."

“Not many people would have thought of this.” Li Yanqing smiled. The other party was in good condition and had a good understanding of the situation, so there was no need for him to activate him.

This time I really struck gold.

Throughout his more than ten-year career, he has been able to suppress the desires brought about by the term "glutton." Li Yanqing believes that once he figures things out, he can suppress them for another ten years without any problem.

What no one knows is whether Nasri could have returned to his previous form if he hadn't been suspended for a year and a half for doping violations.

But that year and a half suspension did indeed reduce him to a third-rate player, completely depriving him of the opportunity to regain his footing in the top five leagues.

Fortunately, he has now come to Burton, where no one will report him for the time being.
