Emery: Considering that we face more than 50 games throughout the season, we need to balance the lineup and strengthen it
Emery said: "The club is working hard to strengthen the roster and strive to have two players in each position. There is still a lot of work to do, and more players may leave, and we need to sign some players to complete the roster.
We are missing something now because some players left a week or two ago and we were expected to have a deal. The team is working hard to find solutions, and the current players are enough to deal with the current game. But considering that there may be more than 50 games throughout the season, we need to balance the roster and add more players.
Emery continued: Sometimes we are missing a right winger, but when Bailey is not doing well on the court, we are missing something more.
Bailey is a great player, he leaves. Because he wants to make a career change. The club renewed his contract for 2 years because he had performed well before, but last year he didn't play as expected.
As for how to use existing players in defense and offense, McKin can play this position, and Mullen can do so, which gives us other tactical options. In addition, the Gaisan we signed was very comprehensive and could play in multiple positions.
We are now testing Mullen and Gaisan and making McKin feel comfortable on the right. Although he doesn't break one-on-one like Pele, he has the ability to fight opponents there, and sometimes our right back will plug in assists.
We are working with existing players to make our player structure as strong as possible. At the same time, we will also be alert during the transfer window to see if the right players can be brought in.
