Chapter 297 Matthias's Flaws

the next day.

That is, the first training day after the holiday ends.

Li Yanqing was sitting on the training field with a frown on his face.

Before him stood Murphy, Corradina, and Matthias.

The three of them were half an hour late for training this morning, which isn't a big deal; usually, they'd just have to run ten laps as punishment.

But more importantly, all three of them are in extremely poor condition today.

"I remember saying that even on rest days, we must abide by the team's rules."

"If you want your career to last longer."

"Who wants to go first?"

What violations have you committed?

Even if they hadn't said anything, Li Yanqing already knew.

Last night, some fans spotted them at an inopportune time.

It was 3 a.m. when these people had just come out of a bar.

To avoid the fans, they specifically chose a restaurant they didn't frequent.

But they seem to have forgotten that Burton's fan club has grown considerably in size...

Matthias actually had this habit occasionally, and Li Yanqing never said anything about it, but when he brought Murphy and Kvaradona along, Li Yanqing couldn't tolerate it anymore.

All three of them kept their heads down and didn't say a word.

They looked determined to fight to the bitter end.

"Neither of you are going to say anything, right?"

"Playing the tough guy?"

"I forgot, you guys are really tough on the court."

Li Yanqing gently patted his palm; he genuinely admired the courage of these people.

If he had other wingers, he would definitely have suspended all three of them for several games.

Drinking is one thing, but drinking until 3 a.m.?

Is this something a player should do?

Seeing that none of the three of them spoke, Li Yanqing suddenly became angry and roared.

"Matthias!"

"I don't care if you like to drink; I've done it many times, and I haven't stopped you!"

"Because you have contributed to the team!"

"As long as it doesn't interfere with training or competitions, I've never held you accountable!"

"But Murphy and Corradina are still young!"

You shouldn't have brought them along!

Matthias knew he had made a mistake, and at this point he dared not say anything, but simply lowered his head further and further.

The head coach values ​​discipline the most.

This time, it even affected training, and the problem suddenly became serious.

If it weren't for that gossipy fan who got drunk and caused trouble everywhere, they definitely wouldn't have stayed out so late...

"Sorry, boss."

"It's my fault. I promise it won't happen again."

Murphy was the bravest among them, choosing to step forward and admit his mistake.

Although they stayed up so late last night to help the fans, there wasn't much of a problem with their intentions.

But they knew that Li Yanqing would definitely deal with them for the sake of team discipline.

"This is your first time for both of you."

"A fine of three thousand pounds."

"Go train."

"As for Matthias, come with me."

Considering the players' feelings, Li Yanqing decided not to continue lecturing them in front of everyone.

Bradford will take care of the rest.

Besides doing recovery training, he has been spending his time with the coaching staff these days, getting familiar with their work.

Only Matthias was called to Li Yanqing's office alone.

He is actually a very special player.

The only person who has served under him for nearly two years and still hasn't mastered any technical terms.

Li Yanqing now suspects that this has a lot to do with his lifestyle habits.

Alcohol abuse, irregular sleep patterns...

It may be related to his personality; Matias was passionate about these things even before he became a player.

Even after becoming a professional player, not much has changed.

It's just that it's gone from being open and aboveboard to being clandestine now.

To Matthias's surprise, Li Yanqing did not continue to scold him, but instead spoke earnestly.

"To be honest, I'm still quite surprised that you've been able to play this age."

"Especially now that he can still engage in normal physical confrontations with Pogba."

"But if this continues, how many more years can your body hold out?"

"You're already thirty years old..."

“Uh…” Matthias was a little unsure of what to say.

Actually, he has always relied on his physicality to play football.

This is his capital.

Dribbling past opponents, physical contact, fierce defense...

These are his advantages, but without exception, they all require physical strength.

However, lifestyle habits are hard to change, and he feels that sometimes drinking can bring him a very good state.

If it weren't for all the trouble that happened yesterday.

"Listen carefully, the team still needs you."

"But if you don't improve or change these bad habits this season, I'll loan you out."

This was the first time Li Yanqing had told Matthias that he wanted to send him away.

After all, the other party's attitude was quite good; if you don't have enough strength, you can make up for it with your body.

But if this continues, it won't be long before his health, which he relies on, collapses.

He certainly doesn't want to be a player with the "drunkard" label.

"You understand what I mean."

"The team has been improving."

"Of course, you're improving too."

"But that's not enough."

"you are too slow."

"Even that kid Corradina has left you far behind."

"You are no longer capable of breaking through the enemy's defenses!"

If the player's lifestyle is not problematic, Li Yanqing will keep him as a substitute.

But now he needs to be wary of the other party.

“Yes.” Matthias nodded, without saying anything else.

Many people have talked to him about this issue; just recall the scene of Will, who had a similar habit, walking with a big belly.

"If you just tell me you can't solve it, that's fine too."

“I can also buy people in advance.”

"Whether you can or you can't, the choice is yours."

Li Yanqing's words have already made themselves very clear.

Either return to normal or transfer to another team and leave.

There is no third option.

"Uh... I think I can change it."

"Boss."

"No need to buy anyone..."

Matthias had known about the problem for a long time, but no one tried to stop him, and he often couldn't help himself...

After all, none of his family members live in Burton.

The good news is that at least the players' attitude is still correct.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see."

"His salary is five thousand pounds, and he will be suspended for the next match. I will inform the whole team of this decision."

"Go train."

"By the way, if you have no problem, you can stay with Neville."

"This kid is also alone, and he's usually very idle."

"I'll have him keep an eye on you."

"At least you need to be able to hold back as the match day and practice day approach..."
