I am the king of football

Chapter 111: Sword to the Champion
In the 26th round of the league, Hull City played against Peterborough United at home. After a holiday recovery and the team's lack of player reduction during the winter transfer window, the entire Hull City team showed excellent form.

Bruce did not hide anything and directly put out the team's strongest lineup.

Qin Hu is the lone striker, Cavelli and Cooper are the two wingers, Kane is the attacking midfielder, Evans and Paul are the double defensive midfielders, the four defenders are Dudjian, Maguire, Chester, Rosenior, and the goalkeeper is Gulas.

This is Hull City's strongest team at the moment, but they have not yet reached their peak level.

Their captain and core player Corey has now recovered quite well, but still needs about two weeks of conservative rehabilitation. When Corey officially returns, the heyday of Hull City, which has won 14 consecutive victories, can be considered to have fully returned.

Even so, Peterborough United, which ranked 15th in the league and had almost no famous players, was powerless against Hull City.

In the first league game after the winter break, Hull City's home ground, Kingston Communications Stadium, was packed with fans. After confirming that the two talented players trained by the team had not left, the fans showed their love for the team with the greatest enthusiasm.

Qin Hu and Kane did not disappoint the fans' expectations. They each scored a goal in the game to help the team beat their opponents 2-0.

Among them, the goal Qin Hu scored was his signature powerful shot. The poor Petersburg United goalkeeper couldn't even make a save and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

Kane's goal was scored by Qin Hu who used his strong body to push away the defensive players surrounding him in the penalty area and headed the ball to assist Kane in scoring.

2-0, a game ended without any suspense. Hull City defeated Peterborough United at home and won all three points. They continued to lead the league table.

After this battle, Qin Hu's last talent that had not reached the star level, the King of the Small Penalty Zone, has also been mastered (96%). According to the mastery level, which increases by 1% per day of training, he will be successfully promoted to the star level before the next round of the league.

After the game, Qin Hu also accepted interviews from reporters and media as a representative of the team. Everyone was quite interested in the news that Qin Hu might leave the team during the winter transfer window, and kept asking questions in this regard.

"Qin, what are your considerations for not leaving Hull City? As far as I know, a Premier League championship-level team has already extended an olive branch to you."

"Well, it's very simple. I love this team. It was Hull City that gave me the opportunity to study in England and they also gave me the opportunity to play in the first team. Chinese people believe in a good beginning and a good end. I want to help the team successfully return to the Premier League."

“Well, I think it must be a very moving reason for the Hull City fans.”

"So Qin, do you have a favorite team now?"

"Well, I don't want to think about these things for now. I just want to fight for the championship with my teammates in Hull City."

"Champion!? Qin, does this mean that you have officially declared on behalf of Hull City that they will definitely win the Championship this season?"

"Wow~"

There are still twenty rounds of the league, and although Hull City is far ahead at the top of the league, common sense suggests that few teams would make a statement about the championship so early.

In fact, this was not what Qin Hu meant by his statement. The reporter was obviously misinterpreting his words.

However, what people did not expect was that Qin Hu, after a moment of silence, formally set the tone for Hull City with an extremely confident attitude.

"I want to say that at the beginning of the season we never thought about the championship. Being able to reach the Super League play-offs was our goal at the training base, but now everyone in the team is different."

At this moment, Qin Hu is no longer the young man who is modest and polite in front of the camera. Since he was promoted to the second captain of the team, he has accumulated confidence and courage, which finally allows him to show his extraordinary domineering temperament in front of the camera. "Fourteen consecutive wins is a new record in the English Championship, so why not try to break Reading's record of 100 points to win the championship? That's right, our goal is to win the English Championship this season!"

"Okay! I hope you can get what you want~"

After this answer, the reporters and media present were all satisfied. They no longer chased Qin Hu to ask questions but quickly dispersed and started writing.

After the game, when the Hull City players dispersed and returned home, news reports about the game quickly spread on the Internet.

"Aiming at the championship, Qin Hu spoke domineeringly on behalf of Tiger City!"

"No one can stop them. Hull City is the best in the world."

"Too arrogant? Southampton's statement will definitely stop Hull City in the second half."

……

There were very few reports about the 2-0 victory itself in the various news. What everyone cared more about was the statement Qin Hu made on behalf of the team at the beginning of the second half of the league, aiming for the championship.

Just when some people secretly thought that it was a bit presumptuous for Qin Hu, an 18-year-old young player, to speak directly on behalf of the team, Hull City coach Bruce and captain Collen, who had officially announced that he could return to the team after recovering from injury, came out to support him.

"Qin is already the second captain of our team. The players all support him very much. Yes, that's right. The goal he mentioned is the club's goal now. We are about to win the championship."

"To be honest, if Qin wasn't so young, I wouldn't mind passing my captain's armband to him. He has all the potential to become a leader, there is no doubt about that."

The speeches of the two people were so pleasant to the ears of Qin Hu fans. After receiving the translation of the interview of the press conference, the distant Chinese media quickly posted it on their respective social accounts, and Chinese fans on the Internet were all delighted.

"He has a great ability to judge people. No wonder Bruce can lead such a Hull City team. This coach is reliable!"

"I'm crying. As the old captain, Colen is so considerate to the young players. Such a player deserves to be the core player!"

"Qin Hu is awesome! He is so domineering. How can a team with 14 consecutive wins not win the league championship? What nonsense!"

……

In such an atmosphere and environment, everyone's expectations for Hull City and Qin Hu were once again raised, and everyone was looking forward to their performance in the second half of the league.

On the training ground, four days after the team resumed training, Qin Hu was finally promoted to the star level of the king of the small penalty area. When he was lying on the bed and receiving this new memory and image of his talent, the entire penalty area on the court became different in his eyes.

He can score a goal here, there, in mid-air, from the side, and from a small angle. At every location and every position, as long as he brings the ball there, Qin Hu's mind will emerge with countless ways to get the ball into the goal.

This feeling was so itchy that he couldn't wait to start the new round of league games.

Today's update is here! Thank you all for your support!!!
