I am the king of football

Chapter 174 New Recruitment
Time flies. The short training time and change in mentality have greatly improved the condition of the entire Manchester United team.

When Ferguson started to call the shots again, everyone in the conference room straightened their backs. No one did not want this opportunity to play in the team's first home game of the season.

"For tomorrow's game, we will still play 442."

For Ferguson, who has already mastered the 442, any formation is initially seen as 442 in his eyes. When adjustments are needed during the game, 442 can be any formation and there is no difficulty in switching. This is the ability of a world-class coach.

"De Gea is the goalkeeper, and the back four is Rafael, Evans, Vidic and Evra."

Manchester United's defense has not introduced any major new players this season. The fledgling Powell is no stronger than the team's veteran players, so he can only sit on the bench and wait for his chance.

"In midfield, Valencia, Cleverley, Shinji Kagawa, Ashley Young."

Shinji Kagawa, who performed well in the last game, continued to start, and Ashley Young, who scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute, became a starter from a substitute. These are indisputable things, and then everyone's attention came to the team's starting striker.

"Two strikers."

When he reached the two front positions, Ferguson glanced at Rooney, Hernandez and Welbeck, and finally read out two names that could be considered brand new.

"Qin, Van Persie."

After joining the team, the two new players trained extremely hard and quickly integrated into the team and started at the same time, while the other three could only sit on the bench.

"Our opponents are not strong, but we must not underestimate them. I think you all still remember the situation in the first round of the league. We must strictly implement our plan and tactics and win this game!"

"Understood, Boss!"

No one questioned Ferguson's selection, and everyone responded to the coach's final mobilization at the first time. Manchester United's starting lineup for the second round was finalized.

The next day, two hours before the game started, the starting lineups of both teams were announced, which immediately sparked heated discussions.

"Qin Hu and Van Persie start at the same time? Using two new players directly on the front line, Mr. Ferguson is really brave~"

"Yes, I thought it was Rooney who was paired with one. Once Van Persie, who is not injured, comes, Qin Hu may continue to participate in the rotation. It seems that Ferguson still wants to try a different combination."

Anyway, Qin Hu's fans are all happy that he made his first start for Manchester United. As for whether he and Van Persie can create any sparks, that will have to be seen on the field.

In less than thirty minutes from the training base, the entire Manchester United team arrived at Old Trafford Stadium, which was already filled with a sea of ​​red.

This stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, was packed at the moment. Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans in red shirts kept singing and shouting in the stands, leaving no room for Fulham's travelling fans to shout at all.

Qin Hu felt this particularly deeply when he walked out of the player tunnel with the team. Wearing the red Manchester United jersey, they received overwhelming cheers.

"Okay, both teams are already on the field. The captains of both teams quickly came to the referee to finish the rock-paper-scissors game. Manchester United will kick off the first half, and they will attack from left to right in their red home jerseys."

When Zhan Jun's voice sounded, the fans in front of the TV all sat up straight, looking at Qin Hu standing face to face with Van Persie on the court, and everyone's hearts were filled with excitement.

"Shhh!!!"

The next second, the whistle sounded, the ball was pushed out, and two red figures buried their heads and went straight into the white ocean of Fulham players. "Manchester United's midfield began to control the ball. In the last round of the league, their overall team was not in good shape. It was relying on the pass and shot of Qin Hu, who came on as a substitute, that they reversed the game and won. I don't know how they will perform in this game."

After quickly clicking on Qin Hu again, Zhan Jun began to examine the ball control of Manchester United's midfield. Compared with the sluggish performance in the first round of the league, Shinji Kagawa on the field seemed quite comfortable at this moment. Facing the pressure from Fulham's two forwards, he quickly pulled the ball and dribbled it past, then passed it to Cleverley.

"Fulham's two forwards Ruiz and Pedrić didn't play any role. They were directly bypassed by the Manchester United midfielder who pushed forward. Now the midfields of both sides collided with each other. It was a beautiful pass! Cleverley was also in good shape in this game."

After dribbling past Fulham's young midfielder Moussa Dembele who was trying to steal the ball, Cleverley kicked the ball forward the next moment.

"Qin Hu got the ball with his back to the goalkeeper. His huge body blocked Diarra behind him and passed the ball horizontally. Van Persie was already there to receive the ball. Oh, Van Persie! He burst forward right after getting the ball!"

Everything happened so quickly. Just after the game started, when Van Persie approached the penalty area with the ball, Fulham's defense became extremely tense.

"Oh!"

"Shoot directly! The ball went just over the crossbar. It was a very threatening shot attempt."

Van Persie did a very good job of trying out his feet and intimidating the opponent at the beginning of the game. After he made a good pass gesture to Qin Hu, he quickly returned to his position.

With such a start, Manchester United's subsequent game state can be imagined. They played more and more actively and constantly tried to threaten Fulham's goal.

This made the Manchester United fans in the stands very excited. After looking forward to it for a whole summer, they finally got to see their favorite football show again.

In the 27th minute of the game, Manchester United launched another full-scale attack. The team's right-back Evra carried the ball all the way and did not stop after halftime.

By the time the Fulham defenders realized something was wrong and sent people to defend, the ball had already been passed.

"Evra made a long pass, and the ball went straight to the penalty area line! Qin Hu and Van Persie had already rushed forward, and the one who was closer to the landing point was Van Persie!"

"Oh!"

With a volley, Robin Hood on the right side did not let his teammate down. He kicked the ball hard, and the ball flew straight towards the goal.

"Shu~"

Schwarzer jumped high but failed to touch the ball, and it flew into the goal.

"Goal! Robin Van Persie scored his first goal in his Manchester United career in the 28th minute of the game with a beautiful volley!"

A superstar is a superstar, his performance and strength are immediately apparent. When Van Persie, who scored the goal, excitedly ran towards his teammates, Qin Hu, who witnessed the entire process of Van Persie's goal, was also happy about it.

Obviously, he no longer needs to fight alone here.
