Chapter 114 The Last Championship Match

5 month 27 day.

The final match of the Championship season saw Burton Athletic play Sheffield Wednesday away from home.

Meanwhile, the match between Swansea City and Aston Villa was also taking place simultaneously.

Matthias is on the bench this time, and Li Yanqing doesn't plan to let him play against his former team.

Jami and Biwat, who have already decided to leave the team at the end of the season, will start.

And there's Ogradi and Turner...

Li Yanqing did not tell them about his plan to let them go for the time being.

It's not too late to talk about it after everything has settled down.

But he brought Quinn in before the match started.

"Quinn, feed the ball to Ogradi and Jamie more often."

"We'll try to get them all to score in this match."

"Is Ogrady leaving too?" Quinn was a bit slow to react, but he wasn't stupid, and he quickly understood what Li Yanqing meant.

“Yes, if we successfully upgrade.” Li Yanqing did not deny it.

"I will do it."

Quinn nodded. As a player, he understood the feeling and wanted to give his teammates a dignified farewell match.

Game start.

As it turns out, opening the champagne prematurely is not a wise move.

The opponent scored a goal just three minutes into the game, and Burton's players hadn't even had time to react.

"A dream start!"

"Did Sheffield Wednesday play this game with the determination to send Burton into the playoffs?"

"They lost last time, but this time it's not at Riverside Stadium, it's at Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield Wednesday's home ground..."

The commentator's words immediately provoked Burton fans, who had traveled a long way, to hurl insults at him.

"You'll be sent to the playoffs!"

"Swansea can't beat Aston Villa!"

"We can't possibly lose to Xie Zhou San!"

Will was present this time, and he threw his slippers onto the court right at the start of the game.

"Focus your attention!"

"This is a crucial match!"

"Chris! Lee! Do something!"

As for why he wore slippers instead of beer, it's because the beer he brought was confiscated by the security personnel when he entered the venue.

Li Yanqing covered his face, he really hadn't expected this scene.

The champagne was opened by the fans, not by them.

Is there really some strange curse?

On the field, old Biwatt angrily criticized Bradford, Basley, and others.

This is his retirement match!

However, they conceded a goal just three minutes into the game.

Bradford understood the other person's feelings, and as the captain, he also roared angrily.

"Cheer up, guys!"

"I don't want to play another year in the Championship!"

Li Yanqing added, "If we lose this match, we'll postpone our holiday by half a month!"

"what?"

Judging from the players' reactions, this approach was very effective.

Their total vacation time was less than two months...

Fortunately, they were still much stronger than their opponents, and they didn't show any signs of complacency.

This goal was conceded simply because we weren't focused enough at the start of the game.

Once they adapted to the situation, they gained the upper hand.

In the 32nd minute, Enzo passed the ball to Jami on the wing.

The latter broke through to the baseline and then cut the ball back in a triangular fashion. Quinn received the ball and passed it back to Quinn.

Then, he pointed to the goal.

Jamie instantly understood what Quinn meant.

In the final game, they were all setting up the ball for him.

Not only Quinn, but also Enzo and Sun Yan, who came up from behind, were attracting the attention of the defenders.

Without time to think, Jami rushed back and shot towards the far corner of the goal.

One to one!

Burton equalizes!

"You bunch of people..."

Jamie patted Quinn on the shoulder, and the two celebrated the goal together.

"Thank you, this was a perfect match for me."

"You'll have to take the next opportunity yourselves!"

Rather than scoring goals himself, Jami seems to have gotten used to the role that Li Yanqing assigned to him.

All you need to do is make breakthroughs and provide assists.

"Great, we've tied it."

"Navie, how's the situation over there?"

Chris was focused on the situation on the field, while Neville was watching the live broadcast of the Swansea City vs. Aston Villa match on his phone.

"No goals yet, Swansea are besieging Villa's goal."

"If they fail to score in the first half, Villa will show them what attacking is all about in the second half."

“Very good.” Chris was satisfied with the current situation.

Sheffield Wednesday should be no match for Burton, and Swansea also looks unlikely to beat Aston Villa.

Li Yanqing stood alone at the edge of the field.

He didn't give much direction in this game, only shouting a few words at crucial moments.

He was thinking about other things.

Many players left the team before, including Palmer and Choudhury, who were driven away by him, and Bevin and McLaughlin, who were abandoned by him.

There's also Williamson, who decided to retire with a smaller team.

The departures of the previous few were all good things for me.

As for Williamson, he was in dire straits himself at the time and had no interest in the other party's affairs.

But things are different now.

Club owner Robinson has shown ample support and patience, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be coaching here for a long time.

After being promoted this season, the players who left were Jamie, Ogradi, Turner, and Biwat.

So who will it be next season?

Perhaps one day, he will witness Murphy, Enzo, and even Quinn's departure...

That will definitely be a very sad day.

......

In the 76th minute of the second half, Ogradi finally found an opportunity.

Jamie delivered a cross, and the big man inside the penalty area made it 2-1.

After taking the lead, the situation on the other side became increasingly intense.

Swansea City's players relentlessly bombarded Aston Villa's goal.

However, Neville was wrong, because the latter continued to defend and did not launch much of a counterattack.

They were actually indifferent to the outcome of the competition; since they had already secured first place, there was no need to fight tooth and nail against their opponents.

But as a professional team, they will never allow their opponents to rack up points against them.

This resulted in a match where the opponent besieged the entire time.

Swansea City ultimately scored a goal in the 80th minute and then another in stoppage time.

Swansea won this crucial game.

But this did not change the final outcome.

Burton Albion secured second place in the Championship on goal difference!

"Premier League!"

"we are coming!"

The Burton players were extremely excited and, after interacting with the fans, rushed back to the coaching bench.

Then, excitedly, he pinned Li Yanqing down beneath him.

"Oh, you bastards!"

"I can't breathe..."

Then, Chris wasn't spared either...

Will led the fans through security and stormed onto the field.

He was so excited that he couldn't say a word and bumped right into Bradford.

"Will!"

"We're a top-tier league team now!"

"You can tell old Will this news..."

Bradford was also familiar with the other person, so instead of blaming him for his recklessness, he kept shaking his shoulders.

"We will forever remember this day..."

"Of course, that's a must..."

It's not just the teams, clubs, and fans.

Burton, this small town steeped in the smell of beer, will forever remember this moment.
