I am the king of football

Chapter 201 The King's Shadow

During the entire halftime period, the number of discussions about this game skyrocketed, and countless fans around the world were discussing what happened in the first half. Both Shelvey's malicious foul and his subsequent provocative behavior towards Ferguson were despised by most fans.

Even the Reds fans, except for some stubborn diehards, admit that Shelvey has gone too far. After all, Ferguson is a living fossil of the Premier League. This old man who has appeared in the Premier League since the last century deserves due respect.

However, apart from this, people were talking more about Qin Hu's powerful free kick and Gerrard's unexpected goal in the injury time of the first half.

"Stimulate!"

"This is how football games should be played, with both sides fighting back and forth. To be honest, I love Qin's dominance!"

"Hahaha, Qin's tyranny has been fully demonstrated in our Hull City. Don't define him by his age~"

“Honestly as a neutral fan I can’t wait to see how the second half of this game develops.”

On the external forum, everyone still has their own ideas when discussing. After all, Qin Hu is not unique to these fans. Everyone just appreciates his dominance and ability to score goals on the court.

However, the situation is completely different in major domestic forums and bulletin boards.

"Did you see how Qin Hu pushed Shelvey away? It was so fucking domineering! I felt so relieved~"

"That's right. It's okay to stand up for Ferdinand. Qin Hu has the aura of a leader on the field."

"+1, Vidic in the backcourt and Qin Xiaohu in the frontcourt, perfect. I think Ferguson can consider giving Qin Hu the captaincy as well."

"I think as long as he stays at Manchester United, this is almost certain. Really, I see the shadow of Cantona in him. I really miss him~"

"The guy above is not young anymore, Cantona, the king is really domineering~"

Just playing for the team in the fifth round of the league, what Qin Hu showed was enough to make the domestic fans who supported him have endless reverie. This was a wonderful time that everyone had never experienced before, so fans of all ages almost came down to discuss it.

While everyone was discussing heatedly, the two teams on the field had reappeared after a short halftime break.

After Ferguson's passionate midfield mobilization, the entire Manchester United team's ignited fighting spirit at this moment almost melted their opponent Liverpool.

Compared to Ferguson, the young Rogers is obviously not able to fully empathize with his players. Although he tried to make some mobilization during the half-time break, it is obvious that it is still not enough when compared with the players now.

But he doesn't have to worry too much, because the Reds still have Gerrard, the soul of their team. The equalizing goal he scored in the stoppage time of the first half stabilized the morale of the entire team like a stabilizing force.

"Okay, welcome back, everyone. The second half of the game has begun! The home team Liverpool has kicked the ball."

When Zhan Jun's voice sounded, Suarez, who was standing in the center circle on the court, had already kicked the ball. He and Sterling were now the double forwards of Liverpool's ten-man formation and were still arranged by Rogers at the front.

"Gerrard started to organize the ball. Compared with the weakening of the front line, the Reds' midfield strength was not affected too much, which made them not have too many problems in this link."

Once the game started, it was really hard to tell that Liverpool was playing with one man less, their passing was very coherent and the cooperation between the midfielders was quite tacit.

Although Qin Hu, Nani and Valencia put a lot of pressure on them by pressing forward quickly after the kick-off, Liverpool still survived the early stages of the second half.

After fifty minutes of the game, the Red Army's attack began to move forward.

"Gerrard and Borini's passing and cutting cooperation, oh, Borini's action was a bit slow, when the ball was passed back to Gerrard, he was already stuck by Carrick~"

When the ball came to the heart of Manchester United's midfield, the Red Devils, who had more powerful midfielders, finally began to show their depth. Not only did Carrick stick to Gerrard, but Giggs also quickly approached Sterling on the other side, making it impossible for the young player to use his speed advantage to run out of opportunities.

In this situation, Gerrard could only choose to pass the ball back or give the ball to Suarez who was alone in the deep.

In the end, he chose to move forward.

"Carrick was forced to pass forward, and the ball was given to Suarez. The striker will face the siege of Vidic and Ferdinand!"

"Shu~"

If they were two defenders in their prime, either one could have taught a lesson to the young forward who was still in the growth stage, but time is unforgiving.

Ferdinand was almost dribbled past by Suarez in a face-to-face encounter, but fortunately Vidic quickly filled in and helped him block the position, and the two of them worked together to finally push Suarez to the right.

"One person is still not enough. The ball was taken to the wing. In an attempt to cross the ball from the wing, Liverpool did not have a good header, and the ball was directly hugged by De Gea!"

At this point, Liverpool's offensive tactics with ten men had been fully demonstrated. When De Gea held the ball firmly and signaled his teammates not to worry, Manchester United's nervousness about the opponent's offensive quickly dissipated.

With insufficient numbers, the only option left for the Reds is a long shot from Gerrard. This time, Carrick will not let him off easily.

"Kick forward, Manchester United's chance to attack has arrived!"

The Red Devils made some progress on defense and were even more enthusiastic on offense. Qin Hu, who was already in high spirits, quickly let everyone see his abilities once again.

"Shinji Kagawa received the ball, dribbled past the defense! Beautiful! He passed Joe Allen directly~"

In the 56th minute of the game, Manchester United's frontcourt organizer successfully passed the ball and broke into the opponent's midfield. At the same time, Nani and Valencia quickly moved forward from the left and right sides.

"There are so many options. Shinji Kagawa directly passes the ball forward. Qin Hu! He blocks Scottel with his back and takes the ball away!"

Qin Hu stepped firmly on the ball in front of the penalty area line and turned his back to the Liverpool defense line, asking them to quickly block the left and right routes where he might pass the ball, but it was too late.

"Pass the ball with the outside of the foot! Wow, Qin Hu actually has such a trick. Nani ran to the landing point on the left side of the penalty area and passed it again without stopping!"

All this happened in a flash. When everyone's attention was focused on Nani who passed the ball without stopping, Qin Hu turned around and burst out like a tiger and reached the best position in the penalty area.

Qin Hu's positioning did not go to waste, and the tacit understanding between the top players made Nani and Qin Hu choose the same position.

"Oh!"

The header was like a meteor, and Reina, standing in front of the goal, was helpless.

"The ball goes in again! Qin Hu scores with a header!!!"

He landed steadily and raised his collar with both hands. Qin Hu's eyes were caught by the close-up camera. His confident and domineering look made everyone excited.

This time, even Ferguson on the sidelines saw the shadow of an old friend. If he remembered correctly, the last time that figure played for Manchester United on the field was fifteen years ago.
