I am the king of football

Chapter 16 Hesitation leads to defeat
Hotspur Way, Tottenham's modern youth training center, is located in north London, close to the club's first-team training ground. Since Tottenham joined the Premier League, countless youth training talents have come out of here.

Many youth training players have gone through here and become the backbone of Tottenham, so this place is jokingly called the only way to Tottenham.

Now the new generation of youth training talents have gradually matured, and at the beginning of this year's Premier League season, a large number of players will be promoted to the first team.

Although they may be loaned out by the club because they have no place in the first team for the time being, being able to go directly from youth training to the top professional league in England is something that many people will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

After all, there are only 20 teams in the entire Premier League, and the maximum number of registered players in a team is no more than 25. That is to say, countless players in the 500th level of England's league have been fighting for only places throughout their lives.

When Hull City's bus arrived in bustling London, the young players on the bus were already excited. This is a city with four Premier League teams. Along the way, they saw countless flags flying in the streets and on tall buildings.

Here is the blue ocean of Chelsea and the red and white elegance of Arsenal, but as they get closer and closer to the Tottenham Hotspur Club, all that appears before their eyes is the endless white ocean.

White Lily, this is the name given to the club by Tottenham fans. They compare themselves to the holy and flawless white lily. The team's home jersey is all white and they can be called a strong team in the Premier League.

“Welcome to Tottenham.”

Soon the bus arrived at Tottenham's parking lot. Under the guidance of the other team's staff, everyone who got off the bus began to walk towards the venue of the competition.

Along the way, not to mention Qin Hu, who had just arrived in the UK from China less than two months ago, even the other Hull City players were constantly looking at the structure and decoration of this top Premier League club.

"This is several times bigger than our first-team's place. It's really enviable."

"Nonsense, they are a strong team in the Premier League and their income is much higher than ours."

"I don't know if our club will have a chance to advance to the Premier League. If that happens, we will be able to rise with the tide."

"I heard from Coach John that the club is recruiting now, so maybe it's possible for the new season."

Cooper and Coulson, who were walking beside Qin Hu, never stopped talking along the way. Qin Hu barely understood what his two teammates meant. When he heard that Hull City was also quite ambitious for the new season, he couldn't help but feel fascinated.

The Premier League, what a distant goal. His biggest wish in the past 17 years was to play for a Chinese Super League team so that he could earn money to give back to the welfare home. A summer camp completely changed the trajectory of his life.

He closed his eyes and felt the tremendous power in his body. When Qin Hu opened his eyes again, the fear and confusion in his eyes were swept away.

That time and moment is not the present moment. He already has the ability to realize his football dream. What he needs to do now is to try his best not to let it down.

"Everyone hurry up and change your clothes. You have half an hour to rest."

After the whole team entered the visiting team's locker room, which was much more luxurious than their own locker room, Hearn looked at his watch and made arrangements. The players wasted no time in changing their clothes quickly.

As soon as Qin Hu put on his No. 99 jersey, Hearn found him as the team's lone striker in this game.

"Qin, I'll say it again, this game will be very difficult. I need you to keep putting enough pressure on the opponent. At least don't let the opponent press forward with all their players at will. Do you understand?"

"Understand coach!"

This was the last time the coach made tactical arrangements, and then the whole team entered the stadium after the break.

The Hull City team wearing orange jerseys was clearly distinguished from the Tottenham team wearing white jerseys that were warming up on the other side. When the Hull City players looked at them from afar, no one on the other side paid much attention to this side.

As a youth training team of a Premier League powerhouse, these Tottenham U17 players are more concerned about other Premier League youth training teams with whom they have been in contact. In their eyes, Hull City is just cannon fodder in the 4-0 victory last season.

In the team, only Harry Kane, wearing the No. 9 jersey, looked up in the direction of Hull City.

"Kane, what are you looking at?" "There's an Asian guy on the other team. He's so strong. I rarely see Asian players with such a big physique."

"Wow, it's true. Number 99 should be a marginal player in the team. I didn't expect Hull City would sign an Asian youth player."

"It's really rare. Okay Winks, let's continue stretching our legs."

"it is good."

The two main strikers and midfielder of Tottenham U17 team don’t know what kind of surprises the big man No. 99 they selected for this game will bring them.

The warm-up of both sides ended quickly. As the captains of the two teams completed the rock-paper-scissors game under the organization of the referee, the home team Tottenham U17 won the right to kick off. Kane took the ball and placed it on the serving point.

Then, he raised his head and saw the Asian striker who had surprised him before, who was staring at him eagerly from the opposite side.

“Sh ...

Before Kane could think about it, the opening whistle sounded, and the game officially began with the ball being pushed out.

Qin Hu felt that he might have overused the term "mercury pouring out of the ground", but he still had to express such an emotion when it came to the Tottenham team that took control of the ball after the kick-off.

If the best ball-control player he had ever seen was his teammate Mills, then now that person has become all of Tottenham's midfielders, as almost everyone on the opposing team can pass the ball as easily as Mills.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Qin Hu understands very well what Hearn said to him at the end. As the team's lone striker, his main responsibility in this game is to be a troublemaker.

When Winks, who was responsible for organizing the midfield, took the ball and turned around, Qin Hu, who was running at full speed, appeared directly beside him.

"Boom!"

Winks felt like he had hit a wall. He turned his body completely around and managed to protect the ball, but as strong pressure continued to be exerted on the opponent, he could only try his best to push the ball forward.

Such a pass is naturally not very sophisticated. Kane, who barely received the ball under Cooper's interference, was soon intercepted by Mills who rushed up.

"Shit! Why doesn't this guy play center back?"

After passing the ball, Winks naturally saw the person who came to press him. The person was the Asian striker mentioned by Kane before. Looking at the opponent's back who quickly ran away after the interference, he rubbed his arm and sighed.

As Tottenham's formation had not yet been fully deployed, Hull City, who had possession of the ball, could only slowly pass the ball back and forth to try to control it. However, they were soon forced to pass the ball forward under the opponent's conscious movement and pressure.

As the team's lone striker, Qin Hu became the last player to get the ball. However, his ball control and dribbling abilities were totally inadequate under the organized interference of two Tottenham midfielders, and he quickly lost possession of the ball in a rather embarrassing manner.

Only then did Winks breathe a sigh of relief. He was quite afraid that this No. 99 was Hull City's secret weapon. If such a big guy could control the ball delicately and break free from the rush, a team that did not adopt a tough style as a whole might not be able to stop him.

“Attack forward!!!”

After receiving the pass from his teammate, Winks, as the core of the organization, was about to kick the ball directly to Kane who was making a forward run, and then he took off.

"Shu~"

Qin Hu, who turned around and chased the ball after being intercepted, taught Winks a lesson with a beautiful flying tackle - hesitation will lead to failure.
