I am the king of football

Chapter 107 Changing people is like changing a knife
After the battle with Burnley, the Hull City team had no room to breathe. The FA's tight schedule meant that they didn't even have a day off to win a game before they had to start preparing for the next league game.

This meant that Qin Hu, who was widely followed after the game, had no time to accept any interviews. Putting aside the joy of winning and the attention it brought to him, Qin Hu was stopped by reporters after a day of training and simply expressed the idea that he just wanted to concentrate on training and preparing for the game.

In this regard, people have seen very few exclusive interviews with Qin Hu. However, Qin Hu gave domestic fans a green channel. He had a simple telephone interview with CCTV's foreign correspondent the night after the match.

This was the first time that Chinese media reported Qin Hu's exclusive news, and many English media chose to quote it.

In the interview, Qin Hu was very positive and optimistic about the team's promotion to the Premier League this season. In his opinion, Hull City already has the ability to win against most Championship teams. In addition, when asked by reporters, he also expressed a strong desire to win the Championship title.

"No one doesn't love championships, and I am no exception. When embarking on the path of professional football, the more championships the better. I am very much looking forward to the team being crowned the English Championship champion at the end of the season."

This is what Qin Hu said. At the age of 18, he can already look forward to winning the championship in the first year of his first-team career, which has already put him ahead of many young players.

And people understand that his outlook is by no means arrogant. With a record of 21 wins, 1 draw and two losses in 24 league games, any team that achieves such a result can say that they are now the league leader.

Although people were discussing the future of Hull City and Qin Hu enthusiastically, as the protagonists, they had no time to think about it.

In the 25th round of the league a few days later, Hull City will face the challenging Derby County at their home ground. After 24 rounds of matches, Derby County ranks 11th in the league. They are of similar strength to Burnley, and Hull City has no intention of underestimating the enemy.

Since they have set higher goals and aspirations, they should try their best in every game. After all, they made it clear at the beginning of the league that they would give up all other cup competitions and focus on the league, and this is the only honor they can pursue this season.

"Tomorrow's game, we'll rotate the teams."

The day before the game, Bruce had no intention of wasting anyone. Qin Hu completed two shots and one assist in the last game and seemed to be in good shape, but as a head coach he had his own considerations. The 18-year-old young genius is a treasure, and treasures should be cherished.

Therefore, in the 4231th round of the league, Hull City lined up in a formation.

Veteran player Fryatt started for two consecutive rounds and became the team's lone striker. Kane, who was rested in the last round of the league, appeared in the attacking midfielder position again in this game. Cooper and Maguire, two young players who rested in the last round, also started.

Such a lineup is definitely not an underestimation of Derby County. Hull City now has more than one explosive point, and with Kane in charge, their threat will definitely not be less.

On that day, Hull was bustling with people and the whole city was dressed up as a sea of ​​orange. This color tone added a lot of warmth to Hull in the cold winter.

When the team bus set off from the training base and arrived at the parking lot of Kingston Communications Stadium, the players on the bus were moved by the crazy cheers of their fans and opened the windows to wave to everyone.

In contrast, Derby County's bus received a warm "welcome" from Hull City fans as soon as it entered the city, with boos accompanying them almost the entire process from entering the city to driving into the stadium parking lot.

With such a home atmosphere, it is absolutely impossible for the visiting team not to have doubts in their hearts, not to mention the Derby County team, which has no strong desire to win and just wants to maintain its current ranking and results. They did not come with the determination to win at all costs, and now because of Hull City's crazy 12th place, the morale is even lower, and some players have already decided not to fight at all.

Hull City's belief in winning formed a sharp contrast with their opponents' relaxed thinking. It is easy to understand that after the game started, the picture became that Hull City was the only one dominating the game, suppressing Derby County in everything from ball possession to offense and defense.

Ten minutes into the game, Hull City began to threaten Derby County's goal frequently, and Fryatt himself had two one-on-one opportunities.

Unfortunately, although the game was played at home, Derby County's goal did not seem to be on Hull City's side. Fryatt's shot hit the left side of the post and rolled out of the bottom line, and another shot hit the crossbar directly.

This allowed Derby County to narrowly secure a draw at the end of the first half, but the entire Hull City team was very dissatisfied. The frustrated Fryatt began to reflect on himself as soon as he entered the locker room.

With such a highly respected veteran starting the game, other players who thought they had not performed well in some areas also expressed that they would definitely make changes in the second half.

What else can Bruce say in the face of such players?
He nodded repeatedly with his eyes almost curved with smile. The players had already done his job as head coach. He only clapped his hands to boost morale when the players walked out of the locker room after the half-time break.

After the start of the second half, Hull City's offensive and performance became more and more courageous, which made Derby County more and more disappointed. They could hardly see any hope of winning.

Finally, in the 65th minute of the game, veteran Fryatt once again got a one-on-one opportunity from Kane. This time he did not disappoint the team and scored a calm shot to break the opponent's goal.

"1-0, Hull City finally took the lead. After suppressing Derby County for more than an hour, they finally saw results."

No one was surprised by this and Zhan Jun's tone was matter of course. This goal should have been scored a long time ago. He felt that if Qin Hu had replaced Fryatt in this position, Hull City might have been leading by three goals again by now.

This idea was soon verified. In the 73rd minute of the game, Fryat was replaced by Qin Hu.

Two minutes later, Hull City got an offensive opportunity. Kane passed the ball to the right. Cooper got the ball and quickly broke through the wing forward who was defending in front of him. Then he made a 45-degree cross before the full-back rushed in front of him.

Qin Hu, who had not touched the ball once since he came on the pitch, jumped high in the Derby County penalty area. Both the time he stayed in the air and the position where he headed the ball were perfect. The ball flew directly into the goal from the hands of the flustered Derby County goalkeeper.

2-0, this is Qin Hu's strength, and this is what Hull City relies on to do whatever it wants.

"Substituting players is like changing knives. The effect is immediate. Qin Hu has expanded the team's lead. This game is a sure win!"
