I am the king of football

Chapter 112 The Last Piece of the Map

Qin Hu does not have to endure his itch to show off his skills for too long, because after the last day of training, Hull City will officially usher in the 27th round of the league.

In the new round of the league, Hull City will travel to challenge Reading, who is currently ranked sixth in the league.

Since the new season, the team that set a series of Championship records six years ago is being surpassed by Hull City in the monument of history. Now their strength is no longer what it was in the past and they can only barely maintain the level of the Premier League play-offs.

Of course, this level is definitely not bad. After all, the current Championship is home to many teams that have played in the Premier League. Each of these teams at the top of the league has the ambition to be promoted to the Premier League, and the fight between them can be described as quite brutal.

In the first half of the league, Reading lost the match between the two teams at Hull City's home ground. Then Hull City broke Reading's winning streak and sprinted towards its league points record. Now the two sides meet again, Reading's determination to block Hull City is self-evident.

Therefore, the entire Hull City team attached great importance to this game. On the afternoon of the day before the game, Bruce stood solemnly in front of all the players in the Hull City tactical meeting room.

"Tomorrow we will continue to play 4231, but there will be changes in the starting lineup~"

According to the ups and downs of the players' performance, Bruce also fine-tuned the team's starting lineup. Qin Hu continued to serve as the team's starting striker, and the team's left side was replaced by No. 22 Adebola from Cavili. Kane and Cooper continued to serve as the attacking midfielder and right forward.

As expected, the double defensive midfielders are still Evans and Paul, and the two's back-to-back combination has already proven themselves in the game.

In the back four, the young defender combination of Maguire and Coulson returns to the game, and on the left and right are still the unshakable Dudgeon and Rosenior. These two veterans are the kind of steady guys who never play as the C but never lag behind. Bruce, who doesn't like to use the tactic of sending full-backs in, likes them very much.

As for the goalkeeper, the team's current captain and goalkeeper Gulas is naturally the best choice.

"So, the players on the substitute list are..."

After the starting lineup was announced, Bruce glanced at the people off the court. Many rotation players had expectant looks in their eyes. Even if they couldn't start, being on the bench represented an opportunity. They didn't want to not even have the chance to follow the team on an away game.

Among them, the most eager look came from none other than Colen, who was finally allowed to participate in the game again by the team doctor. The team's former midfielder and captain entered the team's tactical meeting room again after a long time.

"Midfield substitute, Colen."

"Wow~"

"Congratulations Captain!"

"Colon, welcome back!"

"Clap clap~"

There was a sudden burst of noisy sounds in the locker room, which eventually turned into applause and cheers. As the team's mainstay and captain, Coren is definitely the most respected player in the team, and everyone welcomes his return.

"Prepare well. If conditions permit, you can go on stage to warm up first."

"Okay, BOSS!"

Even Bruce treated Collen differently. He smiled at the leader of his team and spoke encouraging words. In his heart, the last piece of the puzzle on the team's road to the championship had finally officially returned.

"Well, boys, you have an hour to pack your bags, and we'll meet in the parking lot to leave early then!"

"Coach!"

"Welcome back Captain~"

As the team dispersed, Qin Hu came up to Colen and offered his congratulations in person. The other party patted him on the shoulder intimately and grinned.

"Thank you, Qin. Play well and make it easier for me to come on the field." "No problem!"

That night, the Hull City bus drove all the way to Reading, a very small town where the best hotel was only a three-star one. The club arranged it for the entire team with a simple gesture.

Kane and Qin Hu have been sleeping in the same room for a long time, and this time is no exception. The two young men seemed quite relaxed in the room. Having experienced many ups and downs, they are no longer the ones who just represented the first team.

"Good luck tomorrow Harry."

"the same as you."

It was a dreamless night and the wind was still cold the next day. It was far from being a rejuvenated England in January. The players were still wearing long-sleeved jerseys and warming up on the pitch to keep their body temperature.

Reading's home ground, the Madejski Stadium, was packed with people. The home fans used their fiery enthusiasm to build momentum for their team, which made the home team's condition obviously a little hotter than that of the visiting team.

This was soon reflected in the game. Reading, who chose the right to kick off at the beginning of the game, launched a very fierce attack.

"Okay, the Reading team wearing the blue and white home jerseys is attacking from right to left. They lined up in a 433 formation in this game. As soon as the game started, they pushed the formation into Hull City's half!"

Zhan Jun's passionate voice made the fans watch the game attentively. In this game, not only Hull City played its best players, but Reading was also not far behind. Their big center Adam took the lead, making Evans and Paul dare not be careless.

The ball quickly passed from Reading's midfield to the front line. Fortunately, Hull City's defense line reacted quickly. Maguire and Coulson's tacit cooperation made Adam, who got the chance to take the first shot, shoot in vain.

"The ball was blocked. Coulson's back blocked the ball firmly. Maguire quickly followed up to clear the ball and kicked it forward with a long kick!"

"Shh!"

The ball flew very far, and when the Reading defenders had already pressed near the center circle, Kane, who was facing the incoming ball in the midfield, simply chose to move sideways and the ball flew over the face of Reading defender Pearce who was rushing over.

"A beautiful lob pass. Kane never stopped the team's counterattack. This is crucial!!!"

As Zhan Jun said, Kane's operation stunned all the defensive players of the Reading team. Mills, who thought that the young player would hold the ball with his back under great pressure, was completely disheartened.

"Be careful Qin!"

Having suffered a lot of setbacks at the hands of Qin Hu in the first round, he turned around and shouted loudly, hoping that his teammates could block Qin's running position.

But unfortunately, when he turned around, what he saw was a tall figure who stopped and pushed Gox away and rushed diagonally towards the penalty area.

"He passed it! He used the unique Tiger-style passing method, a little bit of skill plus plenty of speed and strength. The defender who didn't accurately block Qin Hu's position couldn't stop him at all!"

When a player has the strength to crush the defender, the following development becomes much simpler. Until Qin Hu dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he did not encounter anyone who could stand in his way.

"The goalkeeper chose to attack. The two men were about to dribble the ball into the penalty area! It was a great skill! Qin Hu used a simple dribble to make Federici miss completely!"

"Oh!"

It was a simple, empty-net goal. Without paying any attention to the stunned Reading defense, Qin Hu ran towards Kane who was running towards him.

Sometimes, scoring a goal is just that easy.

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