I am the king of football

Chapter 164 I Really Understand Xiao Xiao Qin

Since it was the first meal for the team, the Manchester United cafeteria did not provide a purely fitness meal this time, but instead served a lot of English specialties, although in Qin Hu's eyes there was no such thing as delicious food in the UK.

The team members sat separately at the dining table, and after Ferguson said a few simple words, they began to eat heartily. The daily energy consumption of football players in training and competitions is extremely high, so they must eat well.

After lunch, everyone had about an hour of free time to digest and rest. The players walked and chatted in the training base. Rooney and Hernandez, who were quite interested in Qin Hu, also took the initiative to talk to him.

Although they may have different pursuits in their private lives and hobbies, as top forwards, the three of them have a lot to talk about in football.

"If you ask me, the one who impressed me the most was not Cristiano Ronaldo. When he was at Manchester United, he was not what he is now. At that time, he preferred to dribble past people and break through. He was considered a sharp breakthrough player."

"Oh? Then who is the best shooter in your opinion, Wayne?"

"Ruud, Ruud van Nistelrooy, he can find a chance to shoot from almost anywhere. As long as you give him the ball, he can create chances. It's unimaginable."

Every top player has an idol and a goal when he is 18 or 19 years old. Obviously, Rooney, who joined Manchester United at the age of 19 and worked with Van Nistelrooy for two years, was deeply impressed by him.

"Ahem, indeed, the title of King of the Small Forbidden Zone is not just a casual remark."

Hearing the name coming out of Rooney's mouth, Qin Hu coughed twice. You know, he has the talent of being the king of the small penalty area like star player Van Nistelrooy.

"I'm different. I still like the thrill of making a precise move on the court and then making a fatal strike. So my idol is Inzaghi, Filippo Inzaghi."

Hernandez took over the conversation and said a name that Qin Hu was also familiar with - Milan's number nine Super Pippo.

"Yeah~, I like Jiu Ye too. He's like an assassin on the court. The feeling of killing someone with one blow is so satisfying."

"Haha, Qin, you really understand~"

"Ahahaha~"

Seeing the two team seniors smiling, Qin Hu also responded with a polite smile. Possessing the star-level talent of two top forwards at their peak, he could be said to be the new incarnation of their opponents on the court.

So it’s not that he really understands, it’s just that he just is.

In the afternoon, the team gathered again on the training ground. In addition to the team's main starting eleven, there were also many substitute players. Qin Hu had heard of some of them, but had never seen some of them.

"Let's not do anything else this afternoon, let's have a standard 90-minute warm-up match, let me see how you guys are doing on vacation!"

As Ferguson spoke, he motioned to Meulensteen to distribute red and blue training shirts, and soon the teams were divided.

Most of the players in red are the main players of the team, but there are two surprises, Shinji Kagawa and Qin Hu who just joined the team.

Hernandez, Qin Hu and Rooney formed the red team's forward line, Cleverley, Shinji Kagawa and Carrick formed the team's three midfielders, and the four defenders were the strongest defensive combination of Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans and Evra, with goalkeeper De Gea.

In fact, Ferguson's favorite and best formation is the 442 formation. This time, he arranged the Red Team in 433 mainly to put two new players in to see the effect.

"I will keep changing players, so everyone can run as hard as they can and show yourselves with all your strength. The starting lineup for the new season has not yet been finalized!"

"Understood, Boss!"

Ferguson always keeps his word, and his words are definitely not empty promises. For a moment, the blue team, which is mainly composed of substitutes and rotation players, became excited. They were waiting for this opportunity to let the head coach choose them. "Shh!!!"

The two sides stood apart, and with the referee's whistle, the game officially began. The players who had rested for the entire holiday and regrouped became excited, and the two sides soon started fighting.

As the bridgehead center of the Red Team, Qin Hu went straight into the opponent's midfield. After the start of the game, he kept helping the team to pass the ball. Hernandez and Rooney on both sides cooperated with him from time to time, and the three showed an extraordinary tacit understanding.

In the middle, Carrick and Shinji Kagawa, two midfielders who are good at organizing the pass, also performed very well. No matter how the blue team's midfield and frontcourt pressed, their passing was never disordered and the ball was sent to the frontcourt from time to time.

Being in such a game, Qin Hu felt unprecedented excitement. The whole team operated so smoothly that he was a little uncomfortable with it. This was completely different from when he was in Hull City.

"So this is the level of the Premier League BIG6..."

His inner feeling turned out to be right. Qin Hu's body was not idle either. After another two-pass wall cooperation with Rooney on the side, he pulled towards the left side and broke into the penalty area.

At this moment, Rooney attracted a lot of attention from the blue team's defensive players, which made it difficult for him to find any chance to shoot.

"here!"

A loud and vigorous shout was heard, and Rooney glanced and saw Qin Hu pulling the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Although he thought that the opponent's position was actually a bit too close to the baseline, Rooney had no better choice and chose to pass the ball.

"Shu~"

The ball rolled diagonally and in the next second it rolled in front of Qin Hu who was running fast. The goalkeeper of the blue team had blocked the near post and the two defenders also blocked the far route.

"Qin! I'm here for you, great shot!!!"

Hernandez, who had moved out of the penalty area, was just about to ask for the ball when Qin Hu, who was not far away, had already kicked the ball. The ball whizzed past the goalkeeper at a very small angle and rolled into the goal along the near post.

"Is this okay?"

Rooney on the side was also stunned. Qin Hu's shooting choice and technique suddenly made him feel a little familiar.

"Roar!!!"

There was no time to think about it. Qin Hu, who had successfully scored the first goal, ran over excitedly and hugged Rooney. Hernandez on the side also ran over. Although it was a warm-up match, everyone's passion had obviously been aroused.

After a brief celebration, both sides returned to their respective positions. The defensive players of the blue team had to shift their attention to Qin Hu. After scoring a goal, in their opinion, the threat posed by this new young player was no less than that of Rooney.

This was indeed the case. After the game resumed, relying on the opportunities for his teammates in the midfield to continuously pass the ball, the excited Qin Hu began to frequently take the initiative to take the ball. For a moment, his flexible skills dazzled the players defending him, and everyone inside and outside the stadium was also amazed.

"Is he really a 1.92-meter-tall center?"

Mullensteen on the sidelines was completely convinced. This was another ability that Qin Hu had never demonstrated in front of him.
