There is still more than a month left before the winter transfer window opens.

There will be eight games during this period, and the schedule will be much more intense, with multiple double-matches in one week.

In terms of points, fourteen rounds of games have been played.

Burton has eight wins, two draws and four losses, with 26 points, ranking fifth in the standings, and has already won five consecutive games in all competitions.

West Bromwich Albion is ranked fourth, only five points higher than them, followed by Swansea City, Stoke City, and Aston Villa, who now has 36 points.

Li Yanqing has been in a good mood recently, and even sneaked to the pub to have a few drinks with Will at night.

He has already settled Enzo's transfer and Hart's loan in advance, and Nasri has agreed to stay.

Just a little more supplement is needed in the winter transfer window.

The situation is very good, and no team will have an easier time than Burton in the next game.

But what caught him off guard was that they soon encountered obstacles.

On the 21st, Burton Athletic played away against Brentford.

At the end of last season, they were defeated by Burton in stoppage time, and Quinn also learned the skill of [Arrow Through the Clouds] in that game.

This season, the opponent has obviously studied the latter's style of play seriously.

They changed their previous style and used a 4-1-4-1 midfield stranglehold formation for the first time.

At the beginning, Li Yanqing didn't think there was anything wrong.

But as the game progressed, Burton found that their fast counterattack tactics, which they were good at, had lost their effect.

When advancing, the opponent did not let the striker try to break through, but controlled the ball between their defenders and midfielders, forcing them to fight hard with the midfield strength.

Murphy wanted to try to steal the ball, but as soon as he stepped forward, the opponent would decisively pass the ball.

Even if he finally got the ball, he would be directly besieged by several defensive players.

There is no doubt that this made Burton very uncomfortable.

"Hmm? No, don't they always prefer 4-3-3?"

"What's going on?"

Li Yanqing looked at Cheng Mengmeng, but the latter also had a confused expression.

She had carefully analyzed the opponent's game, and this style of play was definitely the first time the opponent used it.

It was much bolder than the tactics analyzed in the media before, but it was also unexpectedly effective.

Fortunately, the defense led by Bradford was still stable, and they did not lose the ball after holding on in the first half.

In the second half, Li Yanqing seized the opportunity to make substitutions.

It was still the old method, Jamie and O'Grady came on, and changed to play crosses from the bottom.

But the opponent was also prepared for this.

Almost at the same time, they replaced the tall defender, who was previously guarding Murphy. The players changed to marking Jamie.

Throughout the entire game, they were restricted.

The opponent defended very well and had no desire to attack. It seemed that they just wanted to take away a point steadily.

But Li Yanqing still wanted to get three points, so he kept trying to change the attacking points, Jamie, Miller, and even let Sun Yan rush forward several times.

But because of this, in the 80th minute, they were caught by the opponent for a mistake.

In the end, Li Yanqing could only accept the result of 0 to 1 helplessly.

Losing this game is not the biggest problem.

The most serious thing is that the teams in the Championship seem to have learned how to face The next round of ways to keep them, the next round, Bristol, Bristol, still uses the tactics of Brent Ford to defend.

For the Burton team, this is a three -pointer that should have been steadily scored.

The Burton team has slipped to the sixth place in the standings.

It is highlighted.

The most important thing is that the mentality is more important than other teams.

I am convinced that this set of tactics to deal with Burton

"This is trouble, we have to find a solution quickly!"

"If the teams behind us play like this against us, we will lose points!"

Chris was a little anxious. Now is the most critical period for the team to catch up.

Now he no longer mentioned that he had said he would win the half-time championship, but at least he had to achieve the minimum goal of the top four in the half-time.

"That's a good thing, Chris."

"At least it means we have gotten rid of the label of 'weak team', right?"

"Moreover, this tactic also has certain requirements. There must be at least a defender who can pass the ball and a fast defender, and someone in the midfield is also needed to provide support."

Li Yanqing didn't think other teams were that dangerous.

Not every team can be configured to defend so well, and mindlessly copying other people's tactics will not have any good results in the end.

Nasri and Jamie will be happy to tell their opponents this.

On the contrary, the mentality of young players is a bigger problem.

Compared with last season, there are not even enough substitutes to replace those who are not in good shape.

His worries were soon fulfilled.

In the 17th round of the English Championship, Burton tasted defeat again, losing 1-2 to the weak Reading.

The opponent did not use the previous 4-1-4-1 tactics, probably because they have not practiced it well.

The problem lies with themselves.

Not to mention the back, they struggled a lot, and Li Yanqing was prepared for this.

Instead, Murphy, who had always made himself feel at ease, fell sharply.

In this game, he missed three singles in a row!

One of them was an empty goal!

At the beginning of the game, his condition was still [average], but soon slipped to [extremely poor] at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the second half, after replacing O'Grady, Burton finally recovered a goal

"This is a really big problem."

Li Yanqing kept staring at Murphy, wondering what went wrong with him.

Last season, after seeing his ability, he decisively sent the team's original main striker away and promoted him.

This enthusiastic and optimistic young man has always performed well, even far better than Quinn.

But in this game, he seemed to be completely unable to find his form, and even missed an empty goal.

Li Yanqing didn't want his players to learn from Sterling and become the successors of happy football!
