The Premier League finally kicked off on August 15.

In the previous period, Burton had almost finished rehearsing the lineup.

Ibrahimovic, Cazorla and David Luiz, who had played for the giants, accepted it quickly, and the young people performed worse.

Quinn was better, but Murphy and Sun Yan were not used to the formation change at all.

But it doesn't matter, playing more games will get better.

Their first game was away, against old rival West Ham United.

The opponent was defeated by them in the FA Cup last season, and midfielder Lanzini was injured in that game.

The head coach at the time, David Moyes, left the team after the season.

He was replaced by Manuel Pellegrini, who had just resigned from the Huaxia Club.

There were no major changes in their lineup. What needs attention is still the opponent's offensive core Payet and striker Andy Carroll.

As for Lanzini, his injury has not yet fully recovered.

Burton's team lined up a front line consisting of Ibrahimovic, Matias and Anderson.

Quinn started in the middle, and Baselli and Enzo were still the defensive midfielders.

The back line is Blind, Bradford, Araujo and Sun Yan.

This is not the strongest lineup in theory, but it is the one that Li Yanqing thinks is most suitable for changing the formation.

Now it is 4-2-3-1. As long as Enzo goes to the middle and the two wingers rush forward, it can easily turn into 4-1-2-3.

If all the four people in front retreat, it will become 4-5-1.

If Blind also goes to the defensive midfielder, Enzo makes up for it, and Matias goes to the middle, it can also be transformed into a 3-5-2 style of play.

Li Yanqing did not completely give up the three-back system. As for whether the players are adaptable or not, it can only be seen from the game.

The game started.

Ibrahimovic went up, which is his favorite way of playing. The West Ham United defenders are also familiar with him and surrounded him in an orderly manner.

Anderson took the ball and took the lead in launching an attack.

[Dribble like a dribble] The launch failed and the opponent grabbed the ball...

He still needs to adapt, but in fact, the overall defensive strength of the Premier League is not as good as that of Serie A. I believe he will find the feeling soon.

The young man in the No. 43 jersey in the opponent's midfield received the ball and began to organize the attack.

Quinn certainly would not just watch it, and immediately rushed up, while the former decisively passed it to Payet in front.

In the last game, he broke through the entire wing of the Burton team alone.

Miller is not on the field now, but Sun Yan has also made great progress. He immediately blocked Payet's breakthrough route.

Payet was a little isolated in the frontcourt. He did not find Andy Carroll's position at the first time. In front of him was Sun Yan, and Enzo came to defend on the side.

Cooperating with Anderson who was chasing back, Sun Yan successfully got the ball back.

Li Yanqing looked at the stalemate between the two sides on the field and nodded with satisfaction.

The money was not spent in vain. They were able to face the Premier League team head-on with their strength.

However, the good times did not last long. In the 31st minute, Sun Yan, who had been forced by Payet's high pressure, made a small mistake and failed to block the opponent's running position in time.

Payet found an opportunity to hang the ball into the penalty area. Fortunately, Hart attacked in time and knocked the ball away.

This was the most threatening attack so far in this game.

Andy Carroll is a high center forward with good physical fitness. Heading is his strong point.

Both Bradford and Araujo almost squeezed past him.

It can be seen that most of their players are still lacking some experience...

Enzo, who has the [Master-level Substitution], failed to make up in time this time. In the final analysis, he has not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.

The frequency of attack and defense conversion is too high, and he can no longer spare time to support Sun Yan.

When organizing the offense, Enzo and Quinn's cooperation could not break through the blockade of the opponent's midfielder, which made the current situation a bit passive.

Li Yanqing wrote these down bit by bit in his notebook.

Although there is no better way to solve these problems, they can only be solved through more games.

However, the opponent's midfielder wearing No. 41 does not seem to be very old...

Li Yanqing doesn't remember whether he was on the field in the last game, anyway, he didn't attract his attention.

But this time

The young man played really well.

Name: Declan Rice

Age: 19.

Condition: Excellent.

Fatigue value: 10%.

Injury probability: 1%.

Entries: [Cross-over], [Interception], [Marking], [All-around midfielder].

After observing the entries, Li Yanqing could only sigh in his heart.

This kid is a 19-year-old all-around midfielder!

But judging from the current situation, he is more defensive.

The frequency of insertion is not high.

Unlike Enzo, he now has the heart of a striker.

He has to show his [overhead ball] in every game...

In the second half, Burton was a little behind the opponent.

Sun Yan was frequently broken through by the opponent, and without the assistance in the middle, West Ham United had seized several opportunities on the wing.

Li Yanqing made substitutions as soon as possible.

Araujo and Blind, who performed poorly, were replaced at the same time.

Substitute David Luiz and Justin.

The purpose of Luiz is very clear, that is, to limit Andy Carroll. As for Justin, this is his first game in the top league, and it is not a good idea to substitute him at this time.

But Blind's performance is a bit too bad, even worse than Sun Yan's performance.

It basically has no effect. It seems that sitting on the bench for a long time has greatly affected his condition.

The opponent's head coach Pellegrini is not in a hurry to make substitutions, and the situation is in his favor.

In the 67th minute, Quinn and Enzo tried to attack from the middle again.

Rice still stared at Quinn as before, and Enzo handed it to his teammates.

However, this time Quinn passed the ball to the other side.

David Luiz!

[Master-level back-in] Start!

West Ham United was obviously not fully prepared for this troublemaker who suddenly ran to the middle.

For a while, no one was guarding him.

After a little thought, Rice chose to abandon Quinn and ran towards Louis.

It was not right to let the opponent dribble the ball like this in his own half.

David Luiz passed the ball to Anderson on the wing.

Anderson, who gradually found his feeling, finally successfully launched his [Dribble].

He dribbled the ball all the way to the bottom line, and then [Master-level cross].

Ibrahimovic was double-teamed by two opposing defenders and could not get the ball.

But as soon as the ball landed, it was slid into the opponent's goal.

It was still Luiz...

After he got in, he didn't plan to go back, but rushed all the way to the opponent's goal.

Finally seized this chance to score.

Burton led by one to zero!
