Chapter 135 Breaking the situation
Fortunately, Bruce's obsession changed when the game entered the halftime break. After realizing that it was meaningless to continue playing like this and at most end up with a draw with Crystal Palace, he thought for a while and pulled the tactical board over after all the team members entered the locker room.

"You executed the tactics well. We didn't give the opponent many chances in the first half, but we should change our strategy in the second half."

Standing in front of the players, Bruce naturally would not say anything about my tactical arrangements being problematic. He first praised the players and then began to push the stamps on the tactical board.

"In the second half, Paul was in the front position, as were Cavelli and Kupa, and we changed to a 442 formation."

Bruce took out a marker and quickly drew a few arrows on the tactics board, then turned his attention to the players whose players had changed.

"The responsibilities of the two wingers have changed from focusing on defense to focusing on offense. I need you to boldly attack on both sides and force the opponent's three central defenders to start to disperse."

"Coach!"

Cooper and the other player, who had been feeling a little frustrated with the team's arrangement of the game, naturally answered in succession. Being able to participate more in the offense was definitely good news for them.

"The pressure on the midfield is a bit high. Collen and Paul, you two must at least hold the key positions and not give the opponent the opportunity to get too close to the back line. The rest is left to Maguire and the others."

"Okay, BOSS!"

This is a bold adjustment. After Bruce's arrangement, Hull City is bound to face the problem of top-heavy. However, when he turned his attention to Qin Hu and Kane, his eyes were full of trust.

"We will no longer engage in meaningless tug-of-war with Crystal Palace. In the second half, Qin and Kane, you two must seize more opportunities created by the team. As long as we can score goals, the opponent's tactical arrangements will no longer have any meaning."

"learn!"

"Okay, now rest."

Bruce had let it go and there was nothing else he could do. He waved his hand for everyone to take a break and then sat aside to recuperate.

When the door of the locker room was knocked, the team captain Corey was the first to stand up and lead the team out again. The morale of Hull City was still quite high. Although the first half was dull, the stability did not make everyone feel uneasy.

"Hello, dear audience, welcome back. The two teams are back on the court and the second half will begin soon."

The heated atmosphere of the game so far was not as much as when the fans watched the passionate Crystal Palace cheerleaders during the half-time break, which made Zhan Jun secretly pray that at least one side would make some changes in the second half.

When the game resumed at the referee's whistle, Zhan Jun's prayer worked and he clearly saw the changes in Hull City.

"Oh~, Hull City's formation has changed. They changed to 442. Collen and Paul in the front position are controlling the ball."

Hull City had the right to kick off in the second half, which made everyone clearly see their changes. At first, some fans did not realize the significance of Hull City's adjustment, but five minutes after the opening, everything became clear.

"After avoiding Pal's pressure, Colen showed his excellent dribbling skills and passed the ball to Cooper on the right. Cooper, who was in a good position, burst out with extremely fast speed!"

Cooper got the ball before the opponent's defender Jedinak, and with his speed, he shook off his opponent in the blink of an eye and started moving forward along the side.

Klein, who was in the left center back position of Crystal Palace, could not just ignore the situation. When Cooper dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, he had to rush in Cooper's direction. Cooper, who had been waiting for this moment, chose to pass the ball the moment the opponent rushed over. A light but tricky lob pass appeared on the court.

"The ball was passed to the space between Klein and McCarthy. Kane had already run into the position and shot directly at the ball!"

"Oh!"

Kane fired Hull City's first shot at the start of the second half, almost right in the face of McCarthy who was rushing towards him. Unfortunately, due to his fast sprint speed and the position of the shot being a little to the right, the ball finally just brushed the right post and flew out of the bottom line.

"Oh, what a pity! This was Hull City's first attack attempt in the second half, and they directly threatened the goal. Bruce's decisive change of formation activated the team's two flanks."

Just as Zhan Jun said, in the subsequent games, Hull City, having tasted the sweetness of attacking from the flanks, began to frequently launch attacks from both sides.

Cooper, who was extremely fast and had great breakthrough ability, made Klein run out of breath, while Cavelli, who was not fast in dribbling but passed the ball very accurately, tortured McCarthy who was in the center back position.

In just over ten minutes, McCarthy was called for two fouls while defending Qin Hu's header and pass after receiving a pass from Cavelli, which made him gradually afraid to use too big movements.

If it weren't for the fact that neither Collen nor Qin Hu had a good feel for free kicks in this game against Hull City, Crystal Palace's record might have been broken long ago.

However, even if they were holding on, when the game reached the 69th minute, Hull City once again passed the ball to Cavelli on the left through Colen. When Cavelli made a cross before Gardner, Qin Hu, who jumped high and stepped on the best step, was unstoppable.

"Qin Hu!!! McCarthy's pulling and tugging couldn't stop him from taking off. He directly headbutted the ball and headed for the goal!!!"

"Oh!"

This time, Qin Hu's shot no longer flew straight towards the goal, but hit the ground hard and then bounced back. The unprepared goalkeeper Speroni had no time to turn his center of gravity and could only watch the ball bounce into the goal from the left side.

"The ball goes in! His strength is unmatched! Qin Hu once again used his outstanding header ability to help the team break the deadlock."

1-0, with the birth of this goal, Crystal Palace's balance and stability were gone, and they only fell behind in the dull control of the game for nearly seventy minutes.

"Qin! Qin! Qin!"

In the stands, thousands of Hull City expeditionary forces began to shout the name of the goal scorer, and the more than 20,000 home team fans could only remain silent, they didn't even boo.

The dullness of the game had already made the home team fans somewhat dissatisfied, and now they were simply falling behind, and everyone was feeling a bit desperate.

Qin Hu, who scored the goal on the field, quickly found Cavelli who assisted him. After the two hugged each other, the other players also rushed towards them excitedly.

If there is a problem, find Qin Hu. This has become the most effective strategy within the Hull City team. At this moment, the entire Hull City team began to enjoy the joy of being ahead.
