I am the king of football

Chapter 169 Looking Forward
As one of the top clubs in the world of football, the media pays much more attention to Manchester United than Hull City. As the last game of the Premier League opening match, the match between Everton and Manchester United is itself a major event used by the FA to set off a climax of the new Premier League season.

So, on this day, when the match day came, this match was the focus of everyone's attention.

Under the bright sunshine, the streets of Liverpool belonging to Everton are bustling with people and blue flags flying everywhere. The fans who have been waiting for the entire summer window are already impatient.

In this ocean of blue, Manchester United's red bus was so conspicuous that when they drove through the streets towards Goodison Park, the huge boos made it impossible for the players on the bus to block out the noise even with headphones on.

"That's crazy."

Sitting next to Qin Hu was Powell, who joined the team with him. Compared to Shinji Kagawa, who was 23 years old and had experienced many big scenes, the two young players, who were also years old, obviously had more to talk about.

"Indeed, much bigger than anything I've experienced in Hull."

Qin Hu was telling the truth. The gap between the Championship and the Premier League is enormous, which can be seen from the team's revenue. Even if the club is ranked last in the league, the broadcasting share and revenue it gets in a season may be much more than that of the champion of the Championship.

More money means more operating expenses, and more operating expenses naturally mean more ways to attract fans and better fan organizations.

"It's a small scene. You will encounter even crazier welcomes in the future."

Rooney, who was sitting in the front, turned his head and smiled. He thought for a moment and then continued.

"If you ask me, the scariest place is London. Whether we play against Chelsea or Arsenal, their fans act like they want to tear us apart. But that's all. We are not afraid of them!"

As they were chatting, the team bus arrived at the destination. The Red Devils players, who had already rested for a night in a five-star hotel last night, got off the bus in high spirits and went straight to the locker room.

The players who are able to join a club of this level have already surpassed the psychological level of ordinary players. Everyone quickly changed their clothes in the locker room and came to the stadium.

At this moment, the Goodison Park Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, is already full. Most of the stands on all four sides have been covered by the blue ocean, with only a small corner sitting with thousands of Red Devils fans who have traveled with the team.

When the entire Manchester United team entered the stadium wearing red jerseys, thousands of fans tried to cheer for their team, but this was not enough amid the even louder boos from Everton fans.

Feeling the hostility of Everton fans, the Red Devils players on the field became even more excited and they quickly began to warm up under Ferguson's command.

At this moment, in the commentary booth of Goodison Park, Zhan Jun was sitting there excitedly.

Yes, after Manchester United confirmed that it would buy Qin Hu from Hull City in the new season, CCTV had already started contacting the English Football Association in advance.

The English Football Association expressed great interest in China's rapidly emerging market. In addition, CCTV did not want to buy out the live broadcasting rights for all matches, but only wanted to obtain the broadcasting rights for Qin Hu's Manchester United games in the new season. Therefore, the deal was agreed very happily.

As a Premier League expert recognized by fans, Zhan Jun, who has been officially recruited by CCTV, naturally became the only choice to be the live commentator of Qin Hu's Premier League games.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, dear audience friends. What you are watching now is the match between Everton and Manchester United in the first round of the 2012-2013 Premier League. I am the commentator, Zhan Jun." With his impassioned tone and uncontrollable excitement, Zhan Jun's hands were shaking a little, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Hu who was warming up on the court.

"Several years after the last Chinese player to play in the Premier League left, young Chinese player Qin Hu will continue the record of Chinese players playing in the top five leagues today. Unlike his predecessors, Qin Hu joined the Red Devils as the Premier League's top transfer target this summer, and everyone has very high expectations and attention for him."

As the game is about to begin, the starting lineups of both sides have been announced. Everyone knows that Qin Hu was only on the bench in the first round of the league, but countless fans still stayed in front of the TV early.

At a time when Chinese football is gradually declining, the emergence of a top talent like Qin Hu is definitely a happy thing for fans, so they have been eagerly looking forward to Qin Hu's Premier League debut, and they are willing to wait as long as possible.

The warm-up of both sides on the court ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the locker room for a short rest for the last time.

"This is the opening game of the new season. Everyone, get ready and go to the court to release all the energy you've accumulated over the holiday!"

"Understand coach!"

With Ferguson's final mobilization, Manchester United's starting players were at least quite good in attitude.

When the door of the locker room was knocked, the entire Red Devils team rushed out. They walked into the stadium side by side with Everton. As for the substitutes, they had already sat on the bench early.

"Okay, the game is about to start. Manchester United's striker pairing is Rooney and Hernandez, while Qin Hu is on the bench. Let's take a look at the Red Devils' form in the new season! It must be pretty good~"

Zhan Jun's energetic opening remarks seemed a little awkward afterwards, because Manchester United's game state was far less passionate than when they were training enthusiastically.

David Moyes' Everton team showed excellent form in the first league game of the new season. The Toffees, who were arranged in a 451 formation, firmly controlled the situation on the field from the start, especially No. 25 Fellaini who performed very strongly.

While controlling the ball, the Toffees steadily threatened Manchester United's goal with long passes and crosses from the flanks. The tall and strong Fellaini headed the ball several times. If it weren't for De Gea's quick reaction, the score of the game might have changed long ago.

Throughout the first half, the Manchester United team did not even perform as relaxed as they did on the bus heading here. The players' good form in training pales in comparison when they actually met an opponent in full form.

Ferguson on the sidelines also looked unhappy. If only one or two players were in poor form, he could still remedy the situation by making substitutions, but this would show that the entire team has not yet recovered from the holiday.

"Shit! You guys kicked like a bunch of XX, what about attacking? Are we turtles?! We can only be pinned down and beaten, without any fightback?"

As soon as the players entered the locker room, Ferguson turned on his violent hair dryer mode. After all, this was the same hair dryer that had blown Beckham to pieces and made Cristiano Ronaldo cry. Although he did not appear on the court, Qin Hu, who was sitting next to him, could only lower his head and dare not make a sound.

You know, at this moment, the score is still 0-0.

The first chapter is here! Thank you for your support!!! In football, both the state and the strength need to be compared. I feel good, but I can't really say what I will be like when I actually play~
